Squirts...

When presenting make sure you’re presentable.

My over religious mother has once again succeeded in dragging me into another reflection but this time she dragged almost everyone in the family.

I don’t understand why my mum has to be such a catholic buff. I from what I discerned; if God wanted her to throw herself over a cliff lined with jagged rocks shed do it.

Anyway, it wasn’t as bad as I would have liked it. Not that I got to know them any better, maybe a little but not enough to write biographies or something. It was the first time we laughed together though. I haven’t seen that in a long time. It was nice. I almost gagged.

The guy doing the lecturing was supposed to be a priest and a professor at the Ateneo University. It explains why I was completely bored. I’m allergic to professors.

He made some sense from what he said. Of course, most of what he said went right thru my head. Hey I'm still a teenager; you can’t blame me for short attention span.

He had a lot of illusions about strengthening the family equates a stronger country. Bunch of bull if you ask me. It’s like saying patriotism will keep governments running, like trying to tighten screws with a monkey and a wrench.

He asked us to sight things that made our lives be lived in darkness, I felt the sudden urge to express myself but my parental units would have probably bleed profusely from trying to contain their rage.

He wanted us to do a stage play kind of thing to show the others how we could get around those things. I wanted to run away. I ended up with a not so "look at me" role. Being in the background ensures no bad reviews but don’t expect any raves.

We represented how things are supposed to be in the house, like everyone’s to busy, etc. and my mother would come in ask that we all pray but we had to do stuff. She then faints, then my dad says lets pray over her then we prayed. Personally, I would have taken her to the hospital.

The lector went back up and said some stuff again, this time I wasn't listening. I wanted to fall asleep right there on my mono block chair. My eyeballs started to drift down towards the floor. Then I noticed something, the priest's fly was open.
