Feast of the Our Lady of Peñafrancia

2008-09-17T16:58:00.011+08:00

the image of our Beloved INA was being prepared for the start of a concelebrated mass in Her honor at the our Lady of Fatima chapel(sorsogon city), She was carried by the seminary fathers: padre totep (spiritual director) & padre jappy (prefect of seminarians)...but before that, the seminary community and throngs of Marian devotees had a motorcade which started from the OLPSeminary grounds to the our Lady's village, the Sts. Peter & Paul subdivision, and sorsogon city proper

coincidentally, the start of the Peñafrancia festivities was also the birthday of our seminarian-son, rodney, who wanted very much to go home but padre egay (rector/principal) denied his bday wish and simply said "padaba ka man namon didi, may handa man kita nan may motorcade pa ngani, habo ka masabay sa selebrasyon san ato Mahal na Ina?" ...makasayuma pa baya an bata na mas mayad lugod an selebrasyon san bday nya kay nakasabay pa sya sa festivities san ato Mahal na Ina. . .tnx padre!

parents basketball

2007-10-23T17:38:00.000+08:00

warm up...trying the three point area(w/c didn't exist during our days hehehe!)

playing forward, i'm not a good ball handler...kaya sige lang dalagan from endcourt to endcourt...then came the opporunity of a sure shot from a fastbreak throw...kaplos an lay up ngeee! kasopog! sayang an siyak san mag-ina ko. hehehe! got startled maybe kaya wara paka shoot(palusot, gurang na ugang)

the last time i played basketball was in the early 80s when i was still inside the seminary...hamakon mo yon kaawat na palan...so the end result was a heatstroke(played only for a couple of minutes in the swelltering heat of a midnoon sun- durudismayo baga!) and hyperacidity due to stress(kasukasuka na biyo!). hehehe!

but we championed over the two other teams with the help of our center, padre egay(rector) and the other much abled and younger parents. yeheeey!

Granny in court...Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer.

In a trial, a Southern smalltown prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?"

She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you."

The lawyer was stunned! Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?"

She again replied, "Why, yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him." The defense attorney almost died.

The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, "If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you to the electric chair!!!" :)
