When Horse Shoe Won’t Work

Few months from now and the year is almost over. I can’t help but remember a friend of mine who’s worried since the year started. He believes that 2008 will not be as auspicious for him as last year. Born under the year of the Horse, He equipped himself with all feng shui horse supplements to cure all the 7 unlucky stars in store for him, like wearing a mythical pi xiu bracelet. For crying out loud, he even made an eight immortal desktop wallpaper for his laptop. Well, I guess, his horse supplements must have worked, his boss is considering to promote him… but that’s next year, on the year of the ox.

Thanks For The Memories

We know her as a cheerful and fun loving person. She made us laugh for so many times and is more than willing to hear our problems. Those who have served with her knows that she never fails to give her heart to the ministry she commits to. You may hear her occasionally vent disappointments but expect that she’ll be back to her funny antics afterwards.

Marivel Esteban, a sister in Christ, passed away at age 28 last June 4, 2008. Her remains lie at Filipinas Funeral Home in Cavite City. Interment will be on Sunday, June 8. Please pray for the bereaved family.

Best Wishes Mga Panget

To Jeff and Marlyn,

I am grateful that the last ten years you’ve spent with each other ended in marriage. You have indeed proven that true love waits. As you start a new chapter in your life, may you not only count the years but make every year count. Grow more in your love and let God be the center of your relationship. When push comes to shove, you always have us, your friends, to count on.

Thank you for the opportunity to stand beside the both of you on one of the special moments in your life. May your love for each other grow more at each passing day. Congratulations!

The Never Ending Tales Of A Cenobite

I went to my second blogger meet up last Sunday night at Ayala Center. I don’t usually go on eyeballs since I am naturally shy and is only good at expressing myself in writing. However, this is one opportunity that I have decided not to miss.

Dom Lawrence, OSB ((Order of Saint Benedict)) is a Filipino Roman Catholic Benedictine monk brother of the Monastery of Christ in the Desert, Abiquiu, New Mexico USA. Our paths have crossed six months ago thanks to the primitive art of blog hopping. Since then, we have regularly visited each others’ blog.

You’ll Never Walk Alone

Nais kong ito’y ulit-ulitin pa sa iyo
Na ako’y nahahanda kapag kinakailangan mo
Isang kakapit-bisig sa bawat hakbang
Kahit na kung minsan’y may alitan
Kaibigan, ngayon’t kailanman
Ang dalangin ko’y maging tapat
Isang kakapit-bisig sa landas.

~ From the song entitled “Kakapit-bisig” ~

Since I am broke these days, the only gift I can give you is my assurance that you need not walk down the road of life alone. Just call my name and I’ll be there. Naks!

Happy birthday, Bespren. Salamat sa lahat and remember… vote wisely!
