PÁMANÚLÎ (A Homecoming)

Image
Pámanúlî. A lovely word a Kapampangan wants to hear when he's away from home. And tomorrow (27 September) is the day of the most silent "homecoming" for me. A heraldic mission is going to welcome me home. Tomorrow, Jayvie, Aljon and I will be teaching our indigenous writing, KULITAN, to the students of Christ in You Christian Academy in Dolores, City of San Fernando. And in 11 September, another Kulitan Writing Workshop will be held at Apalit High School (tentative venue) . So this two weeks is an exciting yet clueless day for me.   Not just that. I'll be bringing some of my stuffs back home. We're actually changing address (for the nth time). So far from Manila, I may decide whether to go back or not go back home here in Manila.  Whatever happens, mga apo , kindly pray for me. I'll be praying for you too! Gonna miss you guys! Your one and only, LOLA KERPS <3

"DÚO EN CARNE UNA"

13 de Setiembre, 2013  Viernes. Today's Friday the Thirteenth. Others thinks this is a bad luck day. But for us, this was just a blessed day, apay? Because today is a red letter day for me. Today, my faithful friends Nyor Jose Mario "Pepe" Alas and Nyora Jennifer "Yeyette" Alas y Perey shall be united as one flesh in the Sacrament of Marriage.  8:00 PM pasado. I was prepping myself going to UP to meet with my amigos in the Sikatuna Cantata. Jesson, Mao, Junhar and I rehearsed the Mass setting and Propers to be used in the Wedding. We met at the UP Campus Ministry Office and had a great night practising hymns and chants. And we had this so hilarious chitchat filled with puns and jokes, as if we have no tomorrow to wait ( Hahaha! ). As we went to our barracks to have a peaceful sleep, I had a sleep over at Jesson's pad. Pero wala na yatang tulog-tulog pa kaming hinintay. We just wait for the morning to be broken. Paano ba naman kasi, a las 2 pas...

AMIN NA LANG ANG BIRHEN NG PEREGRINA!!!

Kaninang a las siete pasado ng gabi.  Naglalakad ako pauwi ng bahay nang makasalubong ko ang isang kaibigan at kapanalig na si Kuya Glenn Lopez. Isa siya sa mga nagmamalasakit sa Nuestra Señora de la Peregrina, isang imagen venerada na matatagpuan sa ngayo'y simbahan ng Saint Anthony Shrine, tapat ng Dambanang Arkidiosesis ng Mahal na Birhen ng Loreto.  Napag-usapan namin ang napurnadang paglabas ng Peregrina nitong nakaraang Linggo. Ipinahayag ko sa kaniya ang aking panghihinayang at pagkadismaya sa hindi paggora ng Mahal na Birhen nitong nakaraang prusisyon. Maano'y mainis-inis sa hindi pagpapakita ng amor ng ilang mga tao sa Simbahang Pransiskanong ito. Hindi man lang nila asikasuhin ang Mahal na Birhen, knowing the fact na ito naman talaga ang titular na patron ng simbahan. Gayon din ang himutok ni Kuya Glenn. Kung sakaling nagpaka-lukring daw siya noong tanungin siya ni Fra. Cielito kung kaniya ba ang imahen ng Peregrina ay sasabihin niya talagang "Oo, sa...

T.L.M. Experience 101 with LOLA KERPS

Image
Truly to say, the Traditional Latin Mass is one of a kind in itsel f. Th rough time, hindi ako nagsasawa magsimba, que se hodang pagkaha ba-haba na , like th at of the Ri t uals during the Passion Friday . A nd as I quote Saint Josemaria E scriva de Balaguer, "You say the Mass is long? It 's because you have a small heart." That's why I keep striving on having my h eart so e normo us to wonder the mystery of the Holy Mass.     I can still re m ember vividly my first TLM at the P arish of the Lord of Divin e Mercy, that w as the 5th of September 2010 . Three years ago when I became cur ious of what TLM is. So I managed myself to tr avel via LRT 2 papuntang Sikatuna Villa ge just to have a try o f an exp erien ce of the TLM . Eventually I became a vo lunteer member of their schola cantorum, the Sikatuna Cantata. Pawa la-wala man ako sa ilang pagkakataon, yet I volunteer myself in singing whene v er I find time available. And that experience really touched m...

QUOTE for the DAY

"Moreover they lay the axe not to the branches and shoots, but to the very root, that is, to the faith and its deepest fires. And having struck at this root of immortality, they proceed to disseminate poison through the whole tree, so that there is no part of Catholic truth from which they hold their hand, none that they do not strive to corrupt..." -- Pius X, Pascendi, against the Modernists.

¡Bienvenidos ! Welcome! Salangi kayu pu! Mabuhay! Hi, mga apo! This will be a fitting place for everything coming from myself. Thoughts, ideas, personal encounters, everything pati gunting! Hahahaha! To inform you, the opus of Liwayway Arceo titled "Ako... si CLARA" became the inspiration of this blog's title. Aywan ko ba, mga apo?! Hahaha! I may have many social sites, but this blog will entail all of me -- except my SECRETS! LOL! Turnup, guys! Good day! :D
