I just experienced the weirdest ceremony in my entire life. 

This morning, around 6:30 in the morning, my mom woke me up. “Nikki, bangon na dyan! Dadating na si Noel, sabihin mo maghasa sya ng mga kutsilyo”. Well, I admit it, all our kitchen knives is very dull, it cant even cut an apple without messing up. I remembered that this is the ceremony day...  Remember the black rabbit on my previous post? Yeah. This day is the day that they’re going to offer the rabbit to the little people. T.T  

I really pity the poor rabbit… but I prefer a rabbit than a puppy.

Anyways, I got up at around 7am. I did the hygienic stuff in the morning, turned on my laptop and grabbed a cup of coffee downstairs. I checked my face book account and read the Hot Gimmick manga while waiting for my mom and Noel. Noel arrived at around 8am then I told him to sharpen the knives because he was appointed to murder the poor rabbit. 

After an hour my mom arrived with the family of Albularyos. They prepared the stuffs needed for the ceremony then told us that we have to be present in that ceremony. Great - just great. Damn it. 

The main albularyo, lets call her sister #1, grabbed the rabbit from the basket and gave it to sister #2. and I was like 'What the Fuck!' They’re going to kill the poor rabbit in front of us. so, we hurriedly find an excuse to get away from the living room - my brother excused himself to go in the bathroom since he just woke up and then I excused myself and go to my room. The good thing about having your room upstairs is you cant hear anything from downstairs... not even the nagging of my mom. So i didn't hear anything down or maybe the rabbit cant shriek ( i really dont know anything about rabbits). 

After a few minutes we got downstairs and was really surprised on what I saw. Sister #1&2 actually dressed up like Priests…actually more like of a pope because they have this colorful head dress just like the pope has. Well anyways,  before we began sister#2 instructed us to take off our slippers then kneel in front of the altar. (the altar consists of candles, the holy family figurine, holy cross, food, candies, liquors, soft drinks and a pitcher of water) o_O 

The ceremony started with a tagalog prayer of “Ave Maria” (Hail Mary) then afterwards sister #1 cited some prayer in Latin… at the start of the prayer, I was like “ooohhhh… she’s speaking in latin very fast.” after 10 minutes “What the heck - she’s praying so fast but it still isn’t  finished? How long is that prayer?” after 5 minutes or so “why is it too long?? arrgghhh my knees are giving up…” and after a few more minutes the prayer ended. “Yes! Time to stand up -” when suddenly sister # 1 started singing in Latin “Heck… there’s still more?” then, I looked up at my brother. He’s supporting himself by leaning his both hands on the floor. Yeah, I imitated him… somehow, it felt better than kneeling straight. and that was the time that i looked bottom straight of the altar. I almost threw up when I saw the rabbit  chopped into pieces. T.T the poor rabbit is dead. *sniffs*

The singing took around 10-15 minutes. And we are numb all over… this is the longest time of kneeling that I’ve done in my entire life.

After the prayer and the singing, the grossest thing happen. I was dumbfounded when I saw my mother kneel in front of sister #1 and draw a cross with some rabbit’s blood in her forehead. Then she turned onto me and said "o ikaw din... lahat tayo maggaganito"   Gawd. Freaking gross. so i kneel down and she did that thing to me.

After that we proceed in procession around the house, its more like a house blessing. so after the procession the ceremony ended and then we all ate breakfast.

Well even if it is weird and full of crap, I still believe in the mysteries of the unknown creatures..Oh. did I mention that I was always a victim of “nanuno & nabati” ? 

Till next time.

This day was the celebration of my cousin Ino’s birthday. But before we get to his place, we side tripped in Cartimar to look around and buy a black rabbit. The black rabbit is for the ceremonial thing that is going to happen on the 17th. It will act as an offering to the black dwarves that lives in our house (we usually called it as Duwende). In short, they’re going to kill the poor rabbit. T.T if only I could save him… but its still far better than a puppy… 

 

We arrived in Ino’s place at around 5:15pm. I was surprised when my uncle Elson, Ino’s father (Ino and I prefer to call him Elson in private), actually snubbed me. Argghh. Pissing me off like hell. If It isn’t for my father, I would never respect a drunkard, womanizer and selfish bastard like him. 

 

So we do the usual stuff… eat - drink - talk - laugh and sing.

 

When its time to leave, at around 1am, Elson, Ino and Tita Lucy escort us out… I got on the car and was busy saying goodbyes when I heard Elson and my mom’s conversation.

 

The conversation was like this:

 

Elson: ginagamit kase nya yung mga pinsan nya para mapalapit sa inyo tsaka kay Elena e.

My mom: a di ba tama naman yun? Mabuti nga yun nag effort sya para mapalapit sa mga tita e.

Elson: hindi ganun, tingnan mo yung ginawa kay edith… pinagfoforce retirement nya e samantalang ang mga tita nya ang nagalaga sa kanya.

My mom: hindi ko alam yan, ayoko rin makielam kase company naman nila yun. 

Elson: hindeehh e. di nya ba alam kung ano ang psychological anu yun sa mga tita nya? Tingnan mo si Sp. Anong ginawa nya? Di ba pinilit nya na lang magresign?

My mom: (speechless, because this SP is my mom’s most hated person in the whole world)

Elson: o tapos ang lakas nyang gumastos, may bagong kotse tas ang sabi baka mawalan ng pera ang company at di nya mapondohan yung retirement ni Edith.

My mom: wag na lang tayo makielam muna. Problema nila yan… problema yan ng companya nila.

Elson concern lang naman ako sa kapatid ko.

Tita Lucy (Elson’s wife): o tama na yan, inaantok na yung mga bata o. mandrake pa si KC.

Elson: o sige, sa susunod usap nga tayo.

 

Okay. So this is why he ignored me. I am really close with ate candy these days… I became attached we are both wishing for a sister. we do window shopping, eating out, hangout, etc. In short, all we do is fun fun fun. 

 

So he has some issues regarding ate candy (cousin1) about the retirement of Elson’s sister but why does he care? He isn’t part of the company and they don’t care about his opinion. So what if it is your sister? She’s an employee and my cousin’s the boss. And c’mon, what do you know about psychological effect? And you’re sister has a choice… its her decision if she’ll retire earlier or she can retire next year but the company’s not sure if she can get the retirement fee whole. And why are you so affected? You’re sister’s fine with it. Move on bastard. don’t get involved in other peoples business. 

Ino is having a hard time dealing with his dad and is actually pissed off because his minding other people's life again.

Well anyways, we arrived home at exactly 2:30 am. And the current time is 3:47am. 

 

Meme na ako. Good night.

Today was really hot and exhausting day. First,I have a final interview in TB, and just awhile ago I  found out that today was the last day of enrollment and the first day of class in EAA (Entrepreneurs Accounting Academy). Great. My plan screwed up just when i decided to become a working moron student. Well, I ended up not coming to the interview and enrolled myself in EAA's fast track course of bookkeeping. 

The course is equivalent to a college degree... naks, I'm going to have a bookkeeping degree in just 5 months. But i have to pass the exams first, balance the journals, (bloody hell its accounting!), defend a thesis alone, and take a test again in Tesda to become a certified bookkeeper. (ah~ I'm foreseeing myself in the middle of the term - nose bleeding till I knocked myself out with the figures and numbers that I'm using) Oh well, at least they told me that no one failed the exam in their entire bookkeeping history...  

Oh, and my class schedule: MWF 6pm - 9pm. Oh well~ even if i work I wont be able to endure the schedule and the traffic since I live in Laguna, I'll always end up arriving home at 11 or 12. So no regrets and always tired..
