Day 135: Sunday

Lazy Sunday.  I spent the entire day indoors, save for that hour I went out to buy ice cream, toiletries, and take pictures.  I spent almost the entire time watching movie after movie.  I haven't seen a movie for a long time.  I think the last one I watched was The Green Hornet in January.  I hope I can spend more time like this, curled up on my couch and watching entertaining stories told.  I'll watch all of them like a Daydream Believer (The Monkees).

Day 123: Sanctuary in the Blue Hour

I initially posted my siomai dinner thinking I wouldn't have the time to take another photo.  However, my brain still refuses to accept that I should be asleep at night.  So, I decided to head out in the blue hour.  Why waste an hour of good light staring at the ceiling trying to sleep, right?  This is St. Paul the Apostle's Sanctuary at 5:00AM.  I took a photo of this on my 100th day in the project from my window.  I figured, I can give it another view this time.

This entire move to the morning shift is really weird for me.  I try to get up a couple of hours before work, but by 7:00PM, I start yawning.  Normally, after working through a night shift, I can still stay awake for a few more hours.  This time, though, I just feel really sleepy all the time.  Then I wake up in the wee hours of the morning trying not to hate a normal life.

Day 100: St. Paul at Dawn

100th photo for this project.  A view of St. Paul's Church at dawn.

I never thought I'd get past Seven Days (Sting), much less a hundred.  It feels pretty good to cover this milestone, though.

Day 65: Next-Door Neighbor

To be honest, I don't really know my next-door neighbors.  I'm not entirely the neighbourly type.  Right outside my window, though, this is what you'll see.  The building I live in is right next to a church.  I sometimes joke that I hardly miss Sunday mass.  I wake up to it. 

If truth be told, though, I haven't heard mass in a really long time.  So long, I've forgotten when was the last time I actually heard one.  With me in the church, that is.  I know that the last time I've been inside a church was because of a baptism.  These days, you don't necessarily have to go through a mass to get baptized.  Which tells you another irony about me.  For someone named Faith, I'm not very religious.  I'm not an atheist, don't get me wrong.  I believe in God.  How can this entire universe be so beautiful and amazing without a mastermind behind it?  Besides, He's about the only constant entity there is.  Everyone else will manage to fail me, except Him.  It's the religion I'm not entirely comfortable with. 

I'm not saying that the Church is bad or wrong ar anything like that.  I just find it difficult to understand how a God so good will punish me so much for cursing every now and then (I've got it better now, believe me.  I used to curse like a sailor until I got surrounded by kids).  I'm not going to start talking against a God people believe in or talk about what I believe in.  This photoblog was not intended for that purpose.  I think that's a choice we all make and have to respect.  But, if anyone's interested about my religion, I'm more or less a nominal Catholic bordering agnostic.
