Just want to share this piece that has been circulating in emails. Too good to be true.
“the vicious circle
we lose our health to make our wealth
we lose our wealth to regain our health
we live as if we will never die
we die as if we never lived
we are so busy with daily tasks
yet we are so bored in being so busy
we look for meaning in meaningless things
and overlook things fraught with meaning
we have no time for others
yet we waste our time in absurd undertakings”
Meanwhile, I have updated my multiply photos again to include my recent visits in Club Manila East and Island Cove. A product of two separate occasions from two long weekends. Sample pic below.
With much enthusiasm and vigor, I cleaned up my play/work area at home last night. Imagine, doing the dusting and re-arranging of stuffs at almost past midnight until wee hours of the morning. It was tiring but the end result is a work of art (haha!). Now, I guess it will be more exciting goofing around this corner.
To all my loyal and fortuitous visitors: Pardon me for the temporary hiatus. I had been busy with my new job. I’ll catch up soon.
In the meantime, I have posted some pix from a recent summer escapade-cum-poker-session with my “aging-but-wiser” OFTR friends. Check this link: http://jongoloids.multiply.com
“Bisita Iglesia” is a widespread devotion in the Catholic church that is usually practised during Lent. This pious practice consists essentially of a devout meditation on the sufferings of Jesus Christ on his way to Calvary where he died on the cross. This traditional custom is performed through the Way of the Cross by going to 14 churches representing each “stations” — the various places where Jesus had stopped or met some people as he staggered along the road to Calvary.
Since 2003, I had been doing this devotion by visiting 7 churches only. This year, I had the privilege to visit more than that. Together with my K of C colleagues, I visited 14 churches in Cavite. Unfortunately, our group missed the first church since we were not able to catch-up with the convoy that left as early as 6:30 a.m. An added bonus is that we were able to pass-by the famous Aguinaldo Shrine in Kawit for some photo opportunity.
The churches as listed in our itinerary are the following: (1) St. James Parish in Buhay na Tubig, Bacoor; (2) Sto. Nino Parish in Bahayang Pag-asa, Bacoor; (3) Holy Trinity Parish in Bayanan, Bacoor; (4) St. Michael’s Parish in Bacoor Bayan; (5) Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Binakayan, Kawit; (6) Mary Magdalene Parish in Kawit; (7) Nuestra Sra. Dela Soledad Parish in Sta. Isabel, Kawit; (8) Holy Cross Parish in Tanza; (9) St. Francis of Assisi Parish in General Trias; (10) The Annunciation Parish in Pasong Camachile; (11) Immaculate Conception Parish in Dasmarinas Bayan; (12) San Lorenzo Ruis Parish in Summerwind 4, Dasmarinas; (13) Ina ng Laging Saklolo Parish in Area1, Dasmarinas; and (14) Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Salitran, Dasmarinas.
I got some humble shots of the churches’ facade in http://jongoloids.multiply.com.
It’s summertime! We can now feel the scorching heat and warm ambiance. But despite this odd, the best place is still under the sun. Early saturday morning, we headed to the Circle Island Resort. A typical water works located just beside SM Molino along Daang-Hari Road in Bacoor.
Of course, we feasted on chivalrous ambrosia of pork barbeque, grilled hotdogs, broiled tilapia garnished with onion and tomato, mangoes and many more. Almost the whole day, we immersed ourselves under a blanket of cool water. It was literally a frolic moment to start the summer season. Check the pix in my multiply site.
