Confirmation Day

Finally the time has come. It’s my confirmation day. Well, me, my brother, almost a hundred more 6th grader and some other college students and a few other professionals received the Sacrament of Confirmation today.

My brother and I were late for the rehearsal this morning or should I say we didn’t rehearse at all because when we arrive at the cathedral, everyone was leaving already. I can’t believe I noted a wrong time… but it cant be.. I’m so positive I heard the announcement that it will be at 9 am not 8 am. But I didn’t dwell on it.. so we were advised to be in the cathedral, 1 hour before the ceremony starts at 2pm. Around 10:30 am,I went to the mall to make my last minute shopping. Bought a light blue slip-on with heels at rusty lopez and had my hair blow-dried at the salon. We arrived at the cathedral 15 minutes past 1 p.m. There were so many people, parents and godparents are everywhere. We were 2nd in line for the registration,It was so humid that I could feel my make-up melt.

I’m glad Ninang Charing and Ninong Bien (my mom’s Attorney) was there to pose as my God Parents. The confirmation lasted for about 2 hours ( 4:30 p.m. to be exact) and I was so hungry by the time it ended because my last meal was breakfast at 8 am. So, My parents, my brother Dave and Ninang Charing went to SM and ate at Chef de Angelo to celebrate our confirmation.. We ordered 4 variants of pasta (baked ziti, spaghetti meatball, chicken fettuccini and alfredo carbonara), a yummy All White Pizza (seafood) ~ a MUST for seafood pizza lovers and a slice of tiramisu and chocolate marble. I was so stuffed when we finish that I want to sleep right there and then...
