Bisita Iglesia

April 17, 2006

I consider myself as spiritual than religious. I’m Roman Catholic because I was born to it but not by practice. There was a time in my life that I verged on Atheism because my faith offers more questions than answers for me. I guess I was born a skeptic. But I’m past it all now, I’m finding my faith back or it has found me. It’s just weird coz at times when I least expect it I feel God pulling me back. Naks this is so not me. Or maybe this is the real me ..the me that lies beneath the layers of skepticism. During this Lenten season I again felt the pull towards my faith . . .

Mt. Apo at last!

So whatever happened to my grand plan of climbing Mt. Apo?

Nada!Zilch!Zero!Nil!…due to circumstances that are beyond my control.

1.I have no moral support from my loved ones

When I got home the day I decided to climb I immediately told my parents of my plan

Me :“ Ma, Pa……(drum rolls please) mosaka ko sa Mt. APO”

Ma & Pa  : BWAHAHAHAHA!

Ma       : Dili man gani ka mobaktas hangtod kanto!

Me       : Kay naa may tricycle

Pa       : Wala man gani namo gisugtan sa una imong kuya.

Me       : Uban diay mi ni kuya karon beh?

Ma & Pa  : BWAHAHAHAHA!

Me       : Walks out sulkily & slams the door to my room.

2.I am not yet the boss.

Despite the fact that I was disappointed by the lack of support from my so-called loved ones..I still persisted. Before I even got to inform my boss that I’ll be taking a leave on April 12(Wed),she informed us that she would be taking a leave and that we lowly staff should schedule our leaves next time. And also she announced that we will be having field works on Compostela from Mon-Wed so end of the story.

It seems that the universe is conspiring against my climbing Mt. Apo so why fight it? To avert my disappointment I had my feet treated to a foot spa when I returned from Compostela on wed night…at a Spa & Salon located at Mt. Apo St, Davao City hahahaha the closest I can get to the real thing. Pathetic li’l old me. Anyways, there’s always a next time…and I believe that there’s a time and place for everything.
