Hi...
I missed my Quick Takes again. I accidentally left my laptop in Paul's bag on Saturday, so I didn't have chance to write over the weekend.
Updates for this week:
1. My confessor for the past 2.5 years is needed back in Spain.
We all said, "So fast! Father is only here for 2.5 years," and he said, "Everyone says so. Hahaha"
I felt sad, but not sad. I mean, this is the first time I go confession regularly to the same priest, so there's a little feeling of sadness, but I know I shouldn't be sad. I feel very grateful that a few months ago, during a formation session, my formator has reminded us not to say things like "My spiritual director is Ms A or Fr B" because I used to do that! Hahaha. However, she told us that our spiritual director is not the individual. As spiritual direction is one type of formations, we can say that we receive spiritual direction from ____ (name of congregation or organization). This has helped me to not feel so sad (even though I still cried after going for confession for the last time to Father! Phew, at least this time I didn't cry in confessional 'as usual') hahaha
2. I dreamed that I went to India (again). Actually, it was not a beautiful dream because in my dream, someone tried to kill me >.< what a dream....
I do hope one day I can go back to India!! Hopefully Shimla! :)
3. Yesterday my friends organized 'documentary'-screening on "Keys to Happy Marriage". We borrowed the DVD from a priest, and today I tried to google it. You can buy the file from vimeo!

We watched the first four episodes only (there are 12 episodes in total). I think it's a good reminder for me, to remind me why I'm in a relationship and what is needed in a marriage. Not easy, but at least I understand more in which area I should struggle more in a relationship :)
