Don't be sick because the new year is coming!
I haven't been updating my blog lately because I've been lazy. Yes, lazy with a capital L. Essentially, I get brain-dead whenever I get home everyday. I can now fall asleep before midnight. Whatever happened to night-owl Adelyn?
Anyway, just when I said I can't and I won't get an MC, I got myself one two days after. Had a long weekend and really had a good good rest. Skipped work on Friday, french on Saturday and church on Sunday. It did wonders for me. I was up and hopping by Monday. (Yey.) It seems like everyone is falling ill recently. It must be the flu season again. So take care and stay healthy, everyone! Chinese New Year is coming! Food, food, food. Ang pow, ang pow, ang pow.
This reminds me. I haven't bought my new year clothes yet. (screams!) This is horrific. I've been putting it off for weeks and it seems that the new year is just around the corner. What am I to do?! I would have to indulge in crazy shopping this weekend, by hook or by crook.
Oh, just a reminder. Ash Wednesday fasting is held on Tuesday this year to avoid the New Year eve reunion dinner. Mass is compulsory on Tuesday!
Which is kind of strange because we're fasting on Mardi Gras! Mardi Gras (french for Fat Tuesday) is a day of festivities usually celebrated in some western countries. Mardi Gras is the day before Ash Wednesday, which of course, is the beginning of the Lenten Season. Originally, the Tuesday before the start of Lent was the day where cows would be paraded in the streets to remind people about fasting and abstinence during the next 40 days. Also, I guess people used the day to get rid of all the meat in their homes. How to do that? By eating them up, of course. Over the years, I guess it evolved to become more commercialised and less of a Catholic holiday.
Okay. It's sleep time. I will have a busy day at work tomorrow. A long night too, since the sponsors will be having our monthly holy hour. Father has invited the entire YM to join in this time.
So... good night!
