When I was 13, I joined a TV quiz show representing my school. One of the questions were: What is the first day of Lent?
...I didn't know. :p
We lost but what the heck. I was 13 and I was on TV. lol.
Some funny things at the Ash Wednesday mass I attended over lunch break at work.
- When everybody stood up, there was this 6 foot tall intern standing in front of a lady colleague who was less than 5 feet tall. Poor lady couldn't see the priest!
- After we were all given ash crosses on our foreheads, a male colleague took out his handkerchief and began wiping his face and forehead, then suddenly exclaimed, "Ay! Nabura ko!(I erased it!)" hahaha...
- Then the Shutdown meeting snack later that day was siopao. (Bread with pork inside).(Note: Abstaining from pork during Lent is a Catholic practice.. in case you didn't get why it was funny! :p)
On a totally unrelated topic, here a creepy photo of the moon I took a couple of weeks ago when it was full...(click to enlarge)
Mmmmmmm,
ReplyDeleteSiopao...
Sounds yummy.
Let's forgive the priest.
