the ordeal 01

my apologies to some people who may have felt slighted by my insensitive comments yesterday... duh!

so, finally, it's over. the excruciating ordeal was done. my lenten sacrifice - check. i finally know how it feels to be driving behind the funeral car... how to run the vehicle in super-slow-motion. it's like this: put it on first gear, don't step on the gas just release the clutch every now and then, break just a little bit (you don't wanna crash into another car), don't stop even if it's a red light, stay on the line even if PUJ's and other vehicles are losing patience with the crawling funeral procession and are itching to overtake on the left side only to find out that there's a lot of approaching vehicle just the same... at least, i managed to put a smile on, thinking how stupid they are driving themselves into a trap.

the heat was just as intense. i mean, almost everyday for the last few months, it was raining or something but yesterday was torture. the aircon, incapable of functioning to the fullest made my sacrifice more meaningful.... now, my conscience would feel better come lent... holding that freakin' cold beer.

i thought after arriving the cemetery(duh!!), the ordeal will be over. but they still have few tricks up their sleeve!

to be continued....
