Wedding Blues

MAY 18

Let the pictures speak for the things i did in the wedding where we played music!

Pollwatching

MAY 14

since i wasn't able to register for the recent elections because of misinformation, i promised God that I would voluteer as a pollwatcher with the Parish Pastorla Council for responsivle Voting (PPCRV). It really was quite an experience--exciting and scary really.

@Got to argue with other pollwatchers from different

parties who were way older than me (grabe, intimidating)

@pointed out mistakes the BEI wasn't aware they were doing

(which was really humbling cause they were

supposed tobe the ones who knows the procedure)

@Checked the voters if they were really voting right

(cause some didnt even know what to do)

@ got to help other voters lookig for their precints

@ really guarded the ballot box

@ and double-checked the counting of the votes (many arguments here)

It started at 6:30 AM and ended at around 11:30 PM, but believe me since i was doing it for God I didn't feel any exhaustion or what not during the pollwatch cause He saved me from it.

Even if i was the only Youth PPCRV volunteer in our barangay, i did enjoy the experience.

I did sleep soundly that night, cause i really was happy.

Thank God!

Five Wounds youth camp

MAY 11-13

Parish of the Five Wounds Summer Youth Camp.
Astig na three days talaga!
Met so many peeps sa Parish that now i won't be a stranger in my own church.
Did so many things and learned so many stuff. Astig mga speakers lalo na si Kuya Meynard, he talked about ministries and ang cool nyang speaker. Wanna be him.

Tapos, astig pa yung group namin:Go St. Dominique Savio (He is now my fave saint by the way). We won the Amzing race thing plus the most cooperative group. hehehehehe

syempre salamat sa lider namin na si Kuya MIKE, facis na sina ate Reena at ate Reybie, at kaming mems na sina Lhian, ehms, jojie, russel, elmer, donna, bhadz, makom, jolie, ___,___.,____

Thanks Lord! btw, nigga ko sa pics 'cause of the sportsfest hehehehe.

Jesus Freak

Someone called me a "Jesus Freak" this week.

It felt good to hear--really cool. But the next split-second made me realize that i should be ashamed for basking in the pride from being called as such 'cause heck i'm so far from being one. I'm simply a JC Freak wannabe. I 'd give anything though to be one. But with my weak will and flesh, its gonna be heck of a ride.

Its just nice to know that I have JC to back me up.
as Psalm 47:10 sings: "Be still and know that I am GoD..."

Yup, i'll try to stay still for you God.

...................
I can't believe MaVS got eliminated at the first round of the playoffs, wasting their 67-15 record during the season. pure crap. It just won't sink in me that i don't have a team to watch out for in the remaining rounds. Poor Dirk. My 6th year suporting mavs, so i guess i'll just have to wait for another year.
...................

we also watched siderman 3 on its opening day, and whoa! SM southmall has it in all of its 10 cinemas. The movie didn't have that big an impact on me though.

Baguio: 28, 29 April

Saturday.

First stop: Good Shepherd

bought 10 jars of peanut brittle and 6 jars of Ube. Yum-yum!

Poor me, my mom had to send me back to our place cause the goods were heavy to hand carry. Anyone wanna carry boxes?

Next Stop: Mine's View

Went sight-seeing (duh. View?). Actually all we saw were roofs of houses.

...paid to rent the Igorot dress and had a picture of us in them taken. Cool. except for the fact that people kept on passing by as some of the shots were being taken. kulet!

also went shopping at the stores surrunding Mine's view. Was able to buy a narra chess set, a wooden bracelet, a straw hat (which i like best) and 4 sling shots for my cousins.

Last Stop: Tam-awan Village

A miniature Ifugao village which was a very nice place. With genuine houses of Igorots (which you can actually rent and sleep in), a bamboo bridge, a small treking trail, and artworks of artists (i'm so sorry i don't even know anyone of them) and people having their portraits drawn in charcoal and their bodies henna tatooed, there were many thing to photograph. And that's what i did actually--I took and took photos of everything.

Dinner: syempre SM Baguio

ate at Teriyaki boy. We were at first seated outside at the balcony but decided to request for a table inside 'cause it was freezing cold. buti na lang. Had TB chicken teriyaki, chicken teriyaki ramen, and yakimeshi.

(burp).

NEXT DAY: We went home, it drizzled at the start of the trip, but the rest of the trip was just fine. Thank GOD!

bagiuo: 27 April

Just got home last night from baguio. The trip was fun and freezing as always but was relatively hotter than the last time we went up three years ago.

We, again, lodged at the AJ's penion house in Jungle town road--a small and affordable, cozy place near the Baguio Cathedral. Plus, there's a piano in the basement so i really lke it there.

We arrived at around 7 am, but we were not to check into our rooms until 12 noon so we just decided to go to SM Baguio to kill some time. When we got back to the house, there wasn't really much to do. For one, my dad wasn't able to register my name as an assitant to the convention (which was dissappointing), so i had to find other ways to spend my time.

Learning from the receptionist that the daily mass in the Baguio Cathedral wasn't until 5 pm, I simply slept until about 4:30 for i didn't really slept well on the bus. It was a breezy and cold afternoon walk to the Cathedral but was nevertheless refreshing beacasue of the new sceneries (not to mention the will-make-you-pant, up-hill slopes).

The cathedral was simple and beautiful as i last saw it 3 years ago; plus, its color pink, in a misty, gray background, was very calming. I participated in the Holy Eucharist and then went home afterwards.

That night, i couldn't as usual so at around 10 pm i went again for a walk around town then sat on a bench near the park. I was enjoying the chill of the breeze but when i saw gangsters running (so i heard),I guessed it was trouble, so I decided to go back to the pension house.

Then i slept.
