A Birthday Phenomenon (though not mine :-p it is true to its word)

A shock of shocks, I promise.
And as promised, Cleverly Inked had her coming of age (hush, hush) and gave an excellent review of her swag-gerific giveaway! So much happened all on one day that you have to actually sit - if you're standing - and will probably jump up - if you're sitting! (Do you really need to know how excited I am? Maybe more "!!!!!") And I suggest that happens now, I'll begin as she did, but skipping ahead to her prizes that could v. well be won (even a cake has been made, though that's not part of it, I'm afraid):

*BREATHE*
I think I just exceeded the limit of palpitations I can get when looking at so many pretty books! It's nerve-wracking, and thankfully there aren't more to scare me (though the amount is magnificent, isn't it?).
Unfortunately, there's non an entry that can go through me - I'm just the messenger - so you have to make it to her blog via http://cleverlyinked.blogspot.com/2010/04/birthday-phenomenon.html (which is a direct link anyway).

Have fun and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, LIZ!!! :)

Storywings' 49 Followers

Raven

Think Caesar

"I came, I saw, I conquered death however not (apparently)"

Youth Mass

Spiritual. Enlightening. Pure awesomeness ( thank you, Tiffany, for that word. It's stuck now :| )
Divine Mercy was different than Holy Trinity for masses.
I figure they got the comments kids made to liven up a mass with songs.
It was all there. My gosh.
Especially with the healing at the end - they were fantastic.
I felt something, possibly entering me. Then later, I just felt numb.
It was terrific!
Though I was able to smell something... Do priests wear cologne?
We had one from Novena, Father Parrera (I think it's spelt).
He was truly amazing, and I didn't need to go to him to see his work.
80-90% of the people that went to him were fainting (I won't say the simile here), from the light-hearted to the young-faces. My mom told me one of the girls was shaking. I never felt so in awe, or that tiny bit frightened. All part of the process, I guess :)

This only happens when a New Moon rises...

I'm finally doing this blogging thing again. I missed this. The having no-word limit though, just that.
Honestly, how was New Moon for all of you?
It was worth it. I thank my God and Rachael and Shermaine for helping me when I was trapped within those two train doors. I didn't feel the pain till later, actually. Just numb, not immortal. ..Thankfully, I only got away with a scar on my forearm. Photos remain private though.
I'm just on my bum watching Twilight on Star Movies. It's fantastic as I remember (I love the baseball scene!). Of course I can't choose between Twilight and New Moon. Though the latter is definitely awesome. Best movie this year! Unconditionally. Except for that Kristen kissing Robert parts. Ugh.
I teared up like during Twilight. Couldn't see where. My eyes watered too much.. 4 or 5 times. Eesh.
Honestly, I love Edward to death. Bella in character isn't bad either. It's just.. figuring Jacob could care so much about her and it was touching. (It just happened till she only wanted Edward); for her to fill the void, the hole that was punched in her chest, but when she left him to find Edward. I found it cruel. She hurt him so much, even in the end, in wolf form you could see the pain. Even though Bella isn't exactly a two-timer (leetle bitty unfair).
[SHE IS TOTALLY OVERACTING! She sounds like a motorcycle..
My mom is getting Twilight.. but I must explain *sigh*
Her thoughts confuse me so much.]
And I heard from the special sneak interviews that there was an MTV blogger who won the chance to watch the special fight scene (she was the FIRST ever!). And Robert asked her as if he were proposing. I couldn't be more envious :( and envy is never good.
And I was completely frightened I might have broken my cable box (mom was livid and looked like a death-bringer while the thing went hay-wire) but I prayed - literally down on my knees since I had to throw something - and I asked Him to fix it. It worked. I trusted Him. Thank God.
