Reflection: Paving the Way

When I was in highschool, we had this weekly assignment, we are to write a reflection on the Sunday gospel. I guess it was our school's effort to get us go to mass every Sunday and listen to the word of God. And being the good catholic girls that we were (as most of us are!), this actually worked. 


But now, gone are those days of mandatory self-reflection. I'm no longer tied to that assignment anymore. I'm not limited to the Sunday gospel & how it applied in my life. This time, I can write about life in general - the lessons, experiences, memories, and inspirations that came with the journey. My attempts of sounding intellectual but not too serious; attempts of being interesting & candid, try to be as truthful as I can possibly be (not too many filters, hopefully!) - and just express my thoughts freely & have fun. And on that note, let's get this party rolling!

Reflection

Having a rather suggestive title for a blog, and with the canonization being the first entry, it's easy to assume my blog might be religion-oriented, spiritual-enlightenment if you will- which I neither confirm nor deny..


But what is it really about?


Well, at the risk of sounding extremely self-centered, it is about ME (duh!) That aside, what's so interesting about me, my life, that's worth blogging about? EVERYTHING, if I should say so! ;)


As the title suggest, REFLECTION - it is literally what or who I see in the mirror. Categorically, how I perceive what I see - positive &/or negative - hopefully, more positive than the latter. In a nutshell, it is coming to terms with my life's greatest critic. In fact, the one that matters the most - my very own self.


So, whether it's going to be religiously inclined, or just plain entertaining (diabolically boring? I sure hope not!), it will be an account of my journey through the fantastic life the good Lord has bless me with!
