I should be discerning and contemplating this week since the Catholic world is celebrating the Holy Week, remembering the Passion of Christ. Since I was blessed of a 2-day rest, I spent my afternoon bonding with my flatmates over our favorite place-dining table (it takes a strong determination to say "I'm on a diet")..errr Anyhow, it is my aphorism to GET LOSE. I decided to lose my TIME. I came to get a good conversation with my Priest friend way back in high school. The conversation began by me asking his homily and oftentimes him asking me questions. Hearty talks then would follow like how is life treating him, his regrets (I'm blatant with my questions, and he's sincere enough to answer), how he had let go of his will (tension of opposites), and of course, love (I'm still on struggle squeezing his Big Secret) but as he said, "mahaba-habang inuman yan"..haha Until we just talked anything nonsense like I'm wanting to eat "tuyo" (dried fish) and he would teased me that he will eat "danggit"..grrhhh From his "labahin" (laundry) to fabric conditioners..
Why I'm so blessed with people? I just don't really know. The secret maybe is to count more blessings and sticking to my belief that if you want to get through with people, GET LOSE.
This is a way of thanking Fr. Norbert Alvin for the good belly laughs.I just like myself better when I'm with people like him,. Though I still insist a favor and still hearing those lines "wag makulit",haha
Thank you very much Fr. for your time and patience and patience and another patience,,=) I will always pray for a hundred folds of conviction in your chosen path. As what you've said, "Sometimes, faith is all that we have"..
I will look forward on that day I'll be on the queue for the favor I am insisting..and the "mahaba-habang inuman"..hopefully, you'll spill the beans of your Big Secret by then..:)
