ashes and wine

 
  

i just love that song by 'a fine frenzy'... it's great to listen to during sunset. i don't know, maybe it's because the first time i heard it, i was parking on the roof parking lot of ayala terraces and it was sunset. i had it on blast on my ipod, blocking any other sound from the world. 
although the sun is out, it's still pretty much cooler today than yesterday. the wind was blowing my hair all over when we attended mass this morning. it's the first day of lent -- ash wednesday. a time for soul searching. ironically, it's supposed to be the start of fasting as well but it's my mom's birthday today so food is very much abundant!  we can't eat any meat on wednesdays and fridays of lent but my mom is preparing lots of seafood dishes from all that we bought last sunday.

♥♥ happy birthday mommy! ♥♥
