I think imma bold face my quotes from now on. First off charisse is gone to miami for the rest of the week till sun evening. My partner in Christ ha is on a vacation, which she deserves. But whatever am i going to do between now and sun.?! It's gonna be weird not communicating on a daily basis. Ha oh well i guess i'll survive. Im feelin real happy right now, like im actually smiling at this moment while i type. Maybe cuz i juss came back from UCI and whenever i go thurr i juss have a blast! This is the yurrbook picture we took from last qtr. Fun times!

So let me tell you, drama at sPv mass this afternoon! WOw! As of september the whole diocese of orange has new liturgical rules. These are rules all the churches in the diocese have to follow. Well one of the rules is in receieving communion, you can no longer receieve on your knees. The faithful must remain standing and their act of reverence has to be done before your turn to receieve. Alright, so we all understand that first part. Father ray was presidising mass this afternoon, and well if you knwo Fr. Ray you know how he is. One of those people who follow errthang by the book.

This lady comes up to recieve communion on her knees. Fr. Ray had told her she must stand up in order to receieve communion. She tells father No, that rome says she is allowed to receieve communion on her knees. She told him rome said that she has a right to receieve communion this way. Fr. Ray said no you cannot receieve communion like that. If you do not get up than i cannot give you communion. So he asks her are you going to stand up? She still continued to remain on her knees ready to receive communion. Fr. told her okay then i cannot give you communion. She said fine then i'll juss receieve it spiritually then. She moves to the side next to fr. still on her knees praying. Finally after fr. is done giving out communion, he asks her real harshly, 'do you want ot receieve communion or not?!!' She said yes and she ended up getting wha she wanted. Wow...crazy huh!

After mass fr. asked errone to stay for a couple of min. and he busted out a paper stating rules that were changed in the liturgy. He goes on to read all the main points of this church document. He explained that the US Bishops agreed that errone will receieve communion standing. This way we are united with His Body during communion. Then went on to explain as of sept. our bishop implmented these changes in our diocese. Then fr. explained how lay ministers and priests before hand (not at sPv) were denying people Jesus cuz they would not follow the rules. Well the issue was brought up and it became in effect that the priest or lay person still has to give them communion. Despite the fact the action of the faithful is wrong, it would be even worse to deny them holy communion. Pretty much two wrongs dont make a right type deal.

I was quite in shock of her actions during mass. She decided to hold up the whole communion line cuz she didnt want to get up. I never really see a person defy the authority of a priest. And although you may not agree w/wha he says, He is still authority and you have to respect that. So thas the drama that had gone done during mass this afternoon. Fr. Ray was pretty upset at this lady. Which is understandable, i know that feeling of being defied, its not the greatest feeling in the world.

Great time at uci tonite, got thurr in time for praise & worship. A lot of exciting things are taking place next qtr. They have this pre-con coming up in the spring whurr theyre gonna be going ot vegas baby! I so wanna go, but juss to eat the buffets, really i do. Heif called me tonite and told me she was going to vegas this weekend. It was like a random thing her, her bf, and his sister decided to do. WOw, wish i could take random vegas trips. Ive been craving for vegas buffets as of last fri. Lets go on a thurs. and eat the buffets on fri. then come back on sat! If i had a house in vegas id so do that! IM sure id be able to round up a few down peopel to go to.

Saw some of the liwanag folks tonite after yfc meeting. I love my liwanag friends!! Joyice is a trip, i love angfoo! The subject of blogs and xangas came up somehow. Well then angie asked me how many xangas do i read a day? I go through almost that whole list each day to see who blogged and who didnt. Oh heif told me tonite that her sister and her brother in law bought a tapioca express franchise! oooh so heif is gonna manage the joint! I am soo gonna be thurr errday getting the hook ups! Yum taps boba! I havent boba in quite a while too i must say. Went to in n out after yfc meeting, had a nice chit chat w/mark anthony.

That foo is really d0pe, i admire him a lot for his humility. Reminds me of my boss at work, juss how they carry themselves as servants. Not to get served(ha! you got served)but to help serve. I think thas a great quality in a leader is their willingness not to take errthang for granted. To truly beome a disciple and wash the feet of the brothers and sisters. Ha he always makes fun of me cuz i joined SFC first then backed up and joined YFC couple months later. haha fun times! We were talking bout SFC CLP how they had the 'cool' yfc section. Then how the talks were like forever long! haha oh boy...the memories!

I had a great time w/the kids at the apt. complex today. We were jump ropping and i loooooove to jump rope! I was getting my work out on doign that. I learned a new song to jump rope to, 'ice cream sundae cherries on top, whos your bf/gf i forgot...then you start going through the alphabet and whatver letter you mess up is the letter of your significant other. I think i ended up messing up on the letter 'n.' Anyway, it was fun it got the kids all excited and stuff. I always get out of breaf when i jump rope. Though its a really good work out, i should buy one!

Okay im tired...ahh!


I love UCI catholic communities!

"You deserve an award for the roll that you play..."im done, im out God bless!
