February 28, 2013.

Ah, Feb 28. On this day, two momentary and historical events will transpire in my life.

1. On Feb 28, the Universal Church will be having no pope. I am talking about Pope Benedict XVI's renouncing of his papal office. Due to health reasons, he decided to step down. I felt sad hearing the news. I didn't even believe it at first. "The Pope will resign? What kind of prank is that?" was my initial reaction. Of course, it was the first time for hundreds of years. It's really sad. I felt spiritually orphaned.

2. On Feb 28, I will be having no job. See, last week, I filed a formal resignation that will be effective on the 28th. You probably already know my struggles as I blogged about it here. So my resignation is quite self-explanatory.


Will Feb 28 be a blessed day for both me and my beloved Pope Benedict.
