"Service is the price you pay for the space you occupy here on earth."-- Ate Marivic

Mula sa isang taong di ko pa man ganoon kakilala, pero isinabuhay ko na agad yung sinabi nyang yun.

Matagal tagal rin since yung last blog ko. Masyadong naging busy sa mga happenings sa simbahan, sa trabaho at sa iba pang bagay. Kaya thank you Lord sa pagbibigay ng oras na ito para gawin ang isang kwento na naman ng buhay.

Officially, Tuesday ang simula ng mahabang working vacation ko.

Practices! medyo nakakapagod yung mga practices. Pero mukhang maraming namang natutunan yung mga alaga ko. So as a reward, treated them with lunch at Jabee! :)

post practice lunch via Jollibee :)

Kahit Holy Week pa man, syempre di naman papatinag si Renzie sa pagcecelebrate ng birthday nya. Although medyo di masyadong bongga yung handa, nairaos pa rin. haha Meet the uninvited guests of Renzie! :))

Maundy Thursday. Mass of the Lord's Supper  and Washing of the Feet. Then of very simple yet, stunning Altar of Repose. After the mass, medyo sumaglit lang ako sa altar to thank Him for what he has done for me, my family, friends and for all.

it gave me thrill to notice in this picture a silhouette of Mary Mediatrix of All Graces ( truly that Church is Christ and Christ whom rested inside the reposition box is actually inside Mama Mary)

A very rare occasion to see these two meet. (Sorry for the image quality)

(Some lay ministers, Pads, Me and Fr. Ed)

then GOOD FRIDAY, WAY OF THE CROSS.

(Staff cast and crew)

Hindi talaga ko madalas magpapicture kaya sobrang konti or halos wala ata kong picture all throughout WOTC, maliban dito sa isa.

(Our Angel this year. Theswald! First time ata na lalaki ung gawing angel!)

After WOTC, syempre declog. At talagang di ko na kinaya ang magpractice at umattend pa ng Veneration of the Cross.

Black Saturday. a long day to prepare.

Practice ulit simula 930am! Woooh! Natapos na ng mga 12nn. then some random trips/errands using the new L300 na pinahiram ng barangay! HAHA!

(Driver ko nga po pala! HAHA!) 

Yung tipong dapat sa St. Pauls Bookstore lang kame pupunta eh nakarating kame sa Manila South Cemetery and almost near Rockwell! Kung saan saan na kami nakarating with Renzie as our bagger. Buti bukas pa sa SM Makati at dun na kami nakabili ng mga pinautos. nakita pa namin si Ramo kaya sinundo na rin namin. HAHA! Went home to buy ice cream and drop it off to Noel's. dun na rin kame kumaen after ihatid yung mga pinamili. At around 4pm, balik sa church for another round of practice! WOOOOOOH! More than 7++ Hours of practice!

After nun, 9pm came. its showtime! :) Mass turned out to be well, pwera lang sa mga minor problems tulad ng microphones. Haaaaay.

After the mass, syempre Salubong na! This year eh walang tambuli so after nun eh konting picture picture lang. Ung usual Easter Welcoming.

at as usual ulit, pinagtripan na naman kame. hahaha! Chura ko lang diba? :))))))

after this tiring day, went to Mcdo GB with Renzie, Karyll (Nagbabalik) at Raph.

EASTER SUNDAY.

Brand new day has started, Children's mass at 10am then followed by our (MOAS) regular Sunday meeting.

Some random shots from Kai. Di ko namalayang pinipicturan kame habang nagmemeeting.

After the meeting, lunch at the Acosta's with Kai. Tapos konting kwentuhan. Then biglang dumating si Tita Gay at nagyayang umalis. Gulat ko na meron pala kong regalo from her. haha! Thanks tita! :)

Tapos food fest! Yung isang linggong walang masasarap na pagkaen eh binawi sa Chili's! :)

Life is sweeeeeet! :))

by night, isa pang reward to watch The Script concert with Annetot! :) @SmartAraneta

yung GenAd na lang yung inabutan namin kase nagkaubusan na last year pa! HAHA!

with annetot. :)

some highlights. :) Grabe galing ng crowd participation! :)

Another week of 2013 has come and gone away. Brand new Church year for all of us.

Let me take this opportunity to say thank you.

MOAS, for keeping the commitment alive. Marami man sa atin ang umalis, pero marami pa rin ang nananatili na maglingkod. Pagdasal na rin natin ung mga umalis, sana makita nila yung daan pabalik. Mahirap yung walang Pads as guide and mentor to be honest, pero you all helped me surpass this week. Pads must be proud on how we grew as a true ministry for Christ. Thank you.

Youth. for surviving this holy week without Pads by our side. Yes, it will always be hard without a Pads who takes care of all the rest after we did our best. Hindi napahiya si Pads iniwan nyang legacy sa simbahan. At tayo yun.

Lastly, salamat Lord. Sa lakas na binigay mo sa amin sa nakaraang linggo. Nagugulat yung mga tao na bakit hindi kami napapagod, di lang nila alam na lahat yung dahil sa inyo. Salamat. Lahat ng to, iniaalay namin sayo.
