sister: 'i bought kisses salted caramel...'
me: 'selecta? i've tried it...'
sister: 'is it good?'
me: 'hmmm... yes but if your bar for salted caramel is carmen's best you won't find it creamy...'
the chunky chocolate bits make up for it though...
there are wins;
there are losses;
i'd say this is a draw.
: )

pet ownership
i saw one of the neighbor's dogs lying right in front of my parents' gate.
i called their maid to get the dog.
1. it was blocking the way.
2. it might again pee or poop.
the maid called the dog.
i went upstairs to get something then came right back down again. guess what, the dog was not anymore in front of my parents' gate alright, it was now in front of my brother's garage!
ugh!
i have no pets. i remember having a hamster and a rabbit in the house before but we did not keep them for long, just a couple of weeks to a couple of months. the only long-term pets our family has ever had were lovebirds and goldfish. for years, however, i've been cleaning dog poop and splashing dog pee because of irresponsible dog owners.
under Section 5 of Republic Act No. 9482 (Anti-Rabies Act of 2007), all pet owners shall be required to:
"(c) Maintain control over their Dog and not allow it to roam the streets or any Public Place without a leash.
(d) Be a responsible Owner by providing their Dog with proper grooming, adequate food and clean shelter."
Section 3 defines "Public Place" as "any place open to the public like parks, malls, markets, streets, etc."
Section 11 provides for the following penalty:
"(5) Pet Owners who refuse to put leash on their Dogs when they are brought outside the house shall be meted a fine of Five hundred pesos (P500.00) for each incident."
hmmm... hmmm... hmmm... someone's overdue to shell out a fortune in fines...

ready, get set, go
i entered a bank and there were three people on queue.
i filled out a deposit slip and when i turned around, there were already an additional nine people on queue!
whoa! that was quick!
what is that? everyone was on the starting line and when the gun went off they all sprinted to the bank?

i had a very special Ash Wednesday yesterday. ash was placed on my forehead in a sort of private ceremony just outside the Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration room where the only ones present were the lay minister and me.
i ran an errand for my dad and the church was along my route so i stopped by the PEA. on my way out, i ran into a lay minister holding a small container filled with ash.
me: 'oh... you're still going to put ash, sir?'
lay minister: 'we're done...'
me: 'aw... i missed it... would it still be possible for you to put ash on me though?'
lay minister thinks awhile, looks at me, then goes: 'okay... i'll get my things...'
me: 'oh... you still need to go someplace? never mind...'
lay minister: 'i'll just get some stuff in the car...'
then he walks away...
me: 'don't bother! thanks anyway...'
lay minister: 'no... you wait for me... just sit there...'
when he returned, he had two pieces of paper and he handed one to me. it was the prayers for the ash ceremony!
he pointed out his lines and my supposed responses.
okay.
we started.
first, he said Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten Season, a period of fasting and abstinence, penance, repentance and alms-giving. he explained each one.
i felt so privileged and grateful. it was as if i was getting a personal homily/sermon/excerpt from the mass.
i felt embarrassed, too, as i did not know i would be taking so much of the lay minister's time.
anyway, he then asked me whether i know why we put ash on the forehead.
i said all i know is it's from the bible: dust thou art and unto dust thou shall return.
he explained aside from that it's because we're sinners and we should repent and be reconciled with God.
then we proceeded to the printed prayers/exchange.
when he finally put ash on my forehead, he said, "Repent and believe in the Gospel."
amen.
