Confession

Standard disclaimers apply and this is the first draft of the complete version. Thanks

“Bless me, Father, for I have sinned…” said the young man, broke the silence in the confessional in the Cathedral of Good Shepherd. It was a few minutes after lunch time mass ended but there were only a few people left. There was a group of old women praying the Rosary in front of the tabernacle and a couple of people who were kneeling  in the pews. As usual, the lunch time mass was always full of people trying to use their time for lunch and mass and getting back to the office on time.

Jonathan was born in a Catholic family but his parents were just Sunday Catholics, so he didn’t know the Catholic teachings well. However, a few weeks ago, a new teacher showed up in his religion class. His name was Fr. David., a  Jesuit Priest from Portugal. He was different than Mr. Peter, the previous religion teacher who only taught what was in the textbook, which was more about Catholic Social Teachings. In other words, boring!

The Love Letter (part 1)

Standard disclaimers apply. I also don’t own the song “Love Me” by Collin Raye

Grandpa took the paper from the inner pocket of his coat. It was yellowish and old looking. He slowly opened the fold  up and showed it to Mark, his only grandson who just celebrated his tenth birthday last month. The ink was fading badly, but Mark could still see the writing on it. It was dated April 25th, 1923.

If you get there before I do, don’t give up on me.
I’ll meet you when my chores are through, I don’t know how long I’ll be.
But I’m not gonna let you down, darling, wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again
I’ll be loving you,
love me.

Judith

It was a short letter and Mark didn’t understand everything but it touched Mark’s heart deeply. It was simple but he could feel how much love was put into those words.

A Dusty Black Box

Standard disclaimers apply. I also don’t own the song “Two Beds and a Coffee Machine” by Savage Garden

“One more box and it’s all cleaned!” Darren tried to motivate himself to finish off cleaning the storage room. It’s been years since the last time he came here to tidy up the room. Usually, he just came to keep junks that he didn’t want to throw away yet.

The last one was a dusty black box. It was the size a sport shoe box, but there was no label or writing on it. Darren couldn’t remember ever seeing that box before. It appeared that the owner purposely hid the box at the corner of the room so that it would be invisible.
“Whose box is it? I didn’t notice it before, but it looks aged,” Darren told himself while tearing the scotch tape slowly. He opened it carefully and there were many insignificant things; books, photos, medicines, name card, rosary, a set of keys, and a CD.

Darren took the black wooden Rosary first. It looked so familiar but he couldn’t remember anything about it. He gathered the photos next and he realized that those were his family photos from his childhood, before mum left dad and moved here. Some of the photos were taken during school holiday to the beach. His family went to the beach often. As far as he could remember, the beach was a must go every year. Other photographs were taken during birthday celebration, dad’s birthdays to be precise.

Rainy day and rather boring one.

I find it difficult whenever I want to start something. This time, start writing this blog. There are just too many ideas floating in my mind and I can’t pick one to write it down. Usually, I’ll just get too confused and then end up with nothing. However, since it is my first blog, I shall try my best to come up with something every single day. I’ll try, okay?

The weather has not been kind lately, it’s been raining a lot and it usually happens suddenly. It could be shiny in the morning and an hour later it could rain cats and dogs. So I MUST be extremely careful with my laundry and also must not forget umbrella whenever I want to go out.

I really want to write about so-called autobiography, but I have something important tomorrow morning, so I think I have to get a good rest tonight. So good night all!
