Hi there! I’m back again after a very looooooong absence. A lot of things have taken place since the last time I posted anything in this blog. Well, at this point everything is silent here in the seminary, except for some weeks wherein the seminary grounds was invaded by scores of athletes and spectators due to the Palarong Pambansa. The seminary was the venue for three sports events: lawn tennis, archery and taekwondo. However during the games I was all the while in Tanauan, which was my first pastoral assignment before I came here to the seminary. These two pics are those of the church belfry and the rectory. I spent two weeks there, enjoying a brief stint in the parish. This was however marred towards the end since I got sick, perhaps due to over fatigue (as if fatigue were not enough). During my last Sunday there I had to take over most of the schedules in the parish since the pastor went someplace else and I was left to celebrating six masses that day (actually it was seven, but one sked was canceled, perhaps due to the Pacquiao-Hatton fight). What made the day was when I came to celebrate Mass for the gay association of that town who were holding their Santacruzan de Mayo Devotions. Not that I have anything against them, but usually you don’t see a bunch of gay guys and transvestites asking a priest to celebrate mass for them…to put it loosely, one could say that their interests belong to another sphere.
I should’ve devoted the next day to more rest and relaxation but I think I overloaded my “day-off” (priestly life doesn’t have such a thing) with so much activity that by evening I was feeling really wrung out. The next morning I was wracked with fever.
Anyway, I’m back here in the seminary and to its relative serenity. I’m taking things more calmly…
