PYM Rummage Sale

I'm slowly feeling at home in our parish--Parish of the Five Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Maximising on my minsitries (i mean GOd's), i'm volunteering in multiple activities to spend more time in the church. Well, since i'm a such a sinner (sobra) i really feel safe in the Lord's house, it's as if He lessens my self-condemnation and guilt when I'm under His roof. Still, nakaka-guilty pa rin since HE still accepts me despite all the things I do.

Anyway, i just feel safe in our parish. Really.

Well, earlier, after my sunday assignment as a lector, I went straight to our rummage sale (a fund raising for the PYM). We were able to sell Php 1,700 worth of clothes and bags among others on the first 4 hours since we opened. Then had to pack-up at around 11 am to eat lunch sincee there are no masses from 10-4 pm, translating to no customers. We'll be setting up again later at around 5 pm. Heheheh sana mas marami benta.

What was weird though was that I obviously don't have any experience in selling clothes.
Imagine this: someone bought 5 pieces of clothing. Then after computing for its total, I did a stupid thing. I handed all the clothes to the customer without folding the clothes and without even putting it in a plastic bag. Kahiya talaga. Umangal sya syempre. Hehehehe. Napatingin na lang sakin si Gregor (co-youth ko).

HEHEHE. Anyways got to read at praktis na mamayang 2 ng Koro.

LORD sorry na talaga. Tapos uulit na naman ako. Sori

higad

Went for a swim yesterday and did laps (kahit na di ko pa rin perfect ang backstroke hehehe)
ang masama, HINIGAD ako. too bad, ang kati talaga nakakainis. kaya nga sa practice sa Koro kagabi ay nangati ako, hanggang ngayun nangangati pa rin ako. bad. bad.

honestly, medyo wala lang ang linggo na ito, one of those weeks na nararamdaman ko na parang wala namang may pakiaalam kung gumagawa ako ng mabuti, or parang gumagawa nga ako ng mabuti pero pag wala nang nakatingin ay nagkakasala ako. Wala lang. nakakalungkot. Nagsimba ako twice kanina tapos kinakausap ko lang si GOD at nagsosori dahil parang di ko ma-maintain yung will ko na umiwas saevil deeds. Ang temptation naman kasi nakaka-tempt. heheheh

Sana may days na walang temptation para wala lang. heheheh

Sana may makausap ako tungkol sa mga ito.

FIRST FIRST FRIDAY MASS

1st friday mass last night syempre kumanta ang UPSCA. ANg saya. Nakapag-exposition pa kami kaya double happiness (yung stop-over place sa pampanga hehehe).

'stig lang talaga, pero dahil pasaway ako at di ako nag-aral ng piyesa, nanghula lang ako. At isa pa, ang hirap magshift from bass sa isang choir tapos TENOR sa isa pang choir. Ayan. Sali kasi ako ng sali kung saan-saan.

Still, guys masama ba talaga ang _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _?
jokes, natanong ko na naman tuloy hahahaha joke lang
alam ko naman yung sagot e hehehhe.

____________
Ang HOMILY kagabi was about getting out of your circle-of-friends and comfort zones to share God's love.

wala lang. last year tinamaan na ako nito, this year tinamaan na naman ako, at the same priest pa ang nag-homily nun. Weird.

____________
Also started my 6 am-every-saturday-of-July Lector duties sa Parish of the Five Wounds . 12 pa namana ako nakatulog kagabi buti na lang nagising ako heheheh.

Slamat Lord.

Random thoughts

napapagod na ako sa mga tao, bakit ba pakiramdam ko kailangan laging makisama? Ang wierdo. Ako pala ang weirdo. Lagi ko naiisip bakit iba ako? Bakit iba hilig ko? minsan ang hirap kapag wala ka makausap kasi yung mga pinaguusapan nila di mo alam. Wala lang, nakakasawa. Sana may makausap naman ako na kasing iba ko.

Nakakapagod kasi araw araw winiwish ko na sana may makilala naman akong parang kapareho ko, hilig ang hilig ko at yung madaming iniisip rin hehehehe.

Anyway. Weird. Buti na lang anjan si Lord kung hindi baliw na ako hehehhee.

God's Gift

Did my first assignment as a Lector earlier at the 7:30 am mass. Syempre scary, fortunately I really listened to the monsignor in the 1-and-a-half day seminar last june 16-17 making me understand what this ministry is all about.

Felt queasy at the start of the mass, a bit self-conscious, but knowing that this ministry is all about sharing God's word (in my case leading the faithul in prayer), i felt calm at once.

Only recently did I understand the SERIOUSNESS of the lectors' and Commentators' role in the mass, realize that the lectern actually is the AMBO, which I didn't know was a higly sacred place (Eucharistically speaking), and know the ministry's dos and donts. AT least i did learn about them. Facts of tradition in the church are refreshing to one's faith you know. Now its not just for the sake of attending mass, it's bit by bit understanding how beautiful the Holy Eucharist is. (love talaga tayo ni God)

pics from the seminar: With my teacher in 6th grade, Tchr. Stephen (one w/ the eyeglasses). Weird. Parang kelan lang he was teaching me about catholicism and its ministries, now I'm with him in one of the ministries.

Weird rin kasi iba talaga world ng adults serving the Lord from the Youth. medyo issues and gossip are there but still, i thank God na I am already exposed to different ministries. Masaya naman e!
