Balancing Priorities, Faith, and Family on a Sunday

Hello everyoneee! Last week sunday when my mom ask me to get dressed so that we can go to church but this time i am a bit hesitant to come because i have to study for our upcoming exam since it is more on solving and i did not understand the formula yet so i have to focus but still i come with her and told my self "It is what it is " lol. We usually go to church every sunday. After that we ride a motorcycle and in the middle of the highway it is so traffic and the mass is almost starting. My mom asked the driver if we could go in a shortcut direction and the driver agreed. Thankfully we arrive on time.

When the mass started i listened carefully to the priest message and there's this one message that has a big impact to me. He says that "Don't be deceived by the people around you because Bad companions can damage good behavior" Which made me realized it was true because i was once influenced by it. Before i don't say bad words such as cussing because i am afraid that my father can hear it and get mad at me but now many of my friends do that and i adopted it. Some says badwords towards one another and i say bad words too. Which i am not proud of and i am slowly changing it. When the moment we have to kneal i appologize for everything.

The mass has ended and we decided to stay outside for a bit. My mom told me that we will go to the bakery to buy bread for my sister, father and tatay since they are at home. My sister is not being able to attend because she is sleeping and she has to work in the evening. When we arrive in the bakery i saw lots of delicous bread. I chose the one that has chocolate in the center since chocolate is my favorite and also the one that has an egg in the middle and my mom choses those bread that are not that sweet since my father and sister is not that fan of sweet breads.

After that walk to the motorcycle parking to ride a motorcycle and before we arrive there i saw a steet food vendor and buy a tempura. It is one of my favorite street food to it. Their tempura is 5pcs for 20 pesos which is so affordable and their sauce is so good too that matches the taste of tempura.

We continue walking until we arrive in the motorcycle parking. When we arrive the driver asked us where are we going and my mom told our place and then we ride and he started driving. It was so dark already since the mass that we attended is 5:30PM and the mass usually last for 1 hour. A few minutes have passed when we arrive in our street. We payed the driver and we walk to my aunt's store to buy Katol it is for mosquito to kill them with its smoke.

When we arrive home i bless to my papa and tatay "Bless or pagmamano" is a filipino traditional way of showing respect to the elders. My papa asked us how the mass went and i said it went well since i have a lot of realizations after that.
