Simply My Thoughts

Hello, it has been so long since my last log-in here on my blog account. Hindi ko na masyadong nabisita sa sobrang daming pangyayari na dumating sa buhay ko the past months. Nandyan na yung hectic schedule because of the demands of my studies, kasabay nito yung formation ko here in the seminary and other things which made me so occupied.
I never intended to neglect or discontinue my account, kaya nga lang maraming dapat pagtuunan ng pansin sa mga nakaraan buwan.

My last post was September pa and i can say that i was really not into keeping up my account. All my other companions are updated with their blog accounts. Ako, huminto ng medyo matagal na panahon at ako po ay muling nagbabalik at magsusumikap na maging updated ang aking mga reflections.

Dumaan ang buwan ng Oktubre and it was really busy month for me and for my partner in thesis. I had also my three week vacation which i consider a very fruitful vacation i had compare to the other vacations i had. Since this month is our semestral breal from our academic concerns, my other fellow seminarians had their immersion and their retreat while the four of us 4th year are on vacation. This is also the month were I discern for my application for postulancy. Fortuantely i was given a very good opportunity to be with the SGSP students for their retreat, and joining them I made also my personal retreat and it was not directed since I only need a lot of time for prayer and meditation for my application. Wow! sobra, it was so good and i feel energized afterwards. And because of this very good opportunity i was able to write the draft of my application letter. I gave my letter to my Rector last October 25, where i also have my enrollment for the second semester.Grabe, alam nyo ba na habang itinatype ko itong mga bagay na sinasabi ko sa inyo eh, unti unting bumabalik yung mga bagay na nangyari nung mga buwan na nakalipas, though it was in my diary but at this point in time while typing thing my diary is safe and sound in my drawer.

November came and again back to school, back to my academic concerns, back to my daily routine, back to my formation in the seminary. I went back in the seminary happy and fulfilled, I feel so consoled though I'm tired a little bit. I cant explain why I feel so much energy coming out of me. The only thing i know is that I came from my three week vacation. Grabe napaka hyper ko, as in parang sobrang narenew lahat ng energies ko.

December enters, one of the very busy months here in the seminary sobra, you know why, because of a lot of preparations for Christmas, decorating the whole house, taking turns in carolings, and still we have classes then. December 6, marks the good events of my life. All of us 4th year aspirants and the three prenovices were called by fr. Rector because of a special announcement. A little bit i thought of something new or it was just an announcement of our conferences with him but it was not. Fr. Rector announces to us that time that all of us who applied for prenovice were accepted. It was a very big surprise for me kasi im not expecting as if parang hindi ako nagapply kasi i was extended nung una. but this is a very good news for me and for my companions who were also accepted. Decemeber 8, 2007, was the date of our induction as Postualnts or Pre-Novices rather to the Salesian Congregation.

January, we then celebrated our foundation day, and we celebrated the feast of our Father and Founder Don Bosco. We had a lot of activities the almost one week of celebration. And for me the Highlight of this celebration is the Holy Mass on the Feast Of Don Bosco(January 31), simply because we the aspirants and Pre-Novices submitted and offered our application letters for the next stage of our seminary formation. We also have the Band and Dance fest name "nuv" and we had invited a band, the band of Slapshock. but what i really admire was the performance of Noel Cabangon on the day of the feast. He was really inspiring and the music was really very very good and i bet he was really a good artist and performer simply because it was in his looks=)

February came, and we are finalizing our thesis and fortunately we were able to make it. and now we are just waiting for March 15 because this date is our final defense for our thesis.

My life here in the is as fast as a bullet fired I am graduating now and I'm almost 3 years and 9 months here and i feel i belong and I'm happy for my decision to be here.=)
