anthony's mom is in the holyland, and my mom is sick with the flu, so we ended up having a really simple easter, just us two. actually, we had a really filipino easter. haha. we went to mass at st. philomena because it was one of the few churches in the area that still had an evening mass. on our way out, anthony was like, "why are 99% of the people here filipino?" and then to celebrate the end of lent, anthony was excited to eat beef again. we went to max's in glendale for dinner so he could have some bistek. he was sad the other day when we were at ryan's parents' house and he couldn't eat any. so yeah, once again we were surrounded entirely by filipinos. haha. we act like we're not filipino ourselves. it was just funny.
i gave up negativity for lent, and even though it's already easter, i'm still going to try keeping my complaining/bitterness/road rage/crap talking to a minimum. of course i didn't go the entire 40 days without letting anything negative slip out of my mouth, but i think it helped me catch a lot of complaints in thought, and then make a conscious effort to keep them to myself rather than voice them out. i definitely need to focus more on patience and gratitude. that's actually the whole point of my blog as well.. to focus on optimism and point out at least one thing that makes me happy each day. after remembering what easter is really all about (Christ dying on the cross for our sake), God gave me another great reminder.
happy easter, everyone!!
