Oral Exams Tomorrow in Philo of Science

I prepared a reviewer. I recorded it in the MP3. I read and listened to it in the library, in my room, while jogging, while attending a different class, while transferring from one classroom to the other, while having my teeth cleaned by the dentist. Nothing is seeping in. I am desperate and tired and bothered. BUKAS NA ANG EXAM!!!

I heard Mass just a minute or two ago. Fr. Ferriols presided it. He was finding it difficult to lift the consecrated Body and Blood of Christ. Pero tuloy pa rin siya sa Misa. Mukhang nahihirapan siya pero nagsusumikap para sa Diyos.

Sana biyayang iyon makamtan ko rin... magsumikap para sa Diyos.

Are you thirsting for God?

Scholastics in Action...

Two Hours with UP-ICTUS

I left Dagani House at around 8:00 a.m. to be on time for a short talk on Catechism with the members of UP ICTUS which was supposed to start at 9:00 a.m. I arrived thirty minutes later. There were four of them in the ICTUS Tambayan -- Angel, Wowie, Chingkay and Ron. Actually, I prepared for twenty people. We waited for the others to arrive. We started a few minutes before 10 at Fr. Jboy's pad with the addition of Don -- Ron's twin brother. While the workshop was going, Nikki arrived. Thirty minutes before noon, the rest came -- Joyce, Sima, Aiza, Thomas, Reggie, Monci...

Honestly, I felt good after facilitating their workshop. They are giving great service to the community and to the Church at large. Teaching catechism is no easy task. I have been doing it since College -- it is definitely no walk in the park. But they are so committed and so passionate with the things that they are doing. I hope and pray that they would continue to exude the love they have for the people of God and for His Church. May God bless them always!

ad maiorem Dei gloriam!!!
