Performer

So the past two days have been busy. Yesterday I had to complete the prayer for the Association of Religious Men and Women of Digos (ARMWOD) Assembly we had this morning. It included getting the reading for the prayer together as well as the other information for the powerpoint. Besides working on the prayer, I went and sat in on one of the Freshman Formation Program classes. This week I went into the Director of Alumni Affairs class, Joe Joe. Joe Joe is a super nice guy and is really generous in everything he does. I have probably mentioned this before about FFP, but it is a precursor to Religious Studies classes that students are required to take. Well Joe Joe was talking about how we need to thank our parents for all that they do for us, especially those parents that were pulling whatever money they could to come to school at Cor Jesu. It was also how some students have a hard time paying period as well as the distances they have to travel to get to school. Suddenly attention turned to the back of class where one of the guys in the class got up and he was crying. I thought it was because he was probably poor and was a situation where he has to travel from far away to attend Cor Jesu. Well I discovered later that his father had passed away the day before. My heart goes out to this guy and his family, the father was the worker in the family, so now it is going to be hard for him and the family. Joe Joe said that we are going to go visit the family. I also had a meeting with Br. Dan, it was all good, I was aware of everything, even the one thing that I could work on, I already knew that I needed to work on.

Today we had the ARMWOD assembly, which was a lot of fun. It comes all the religious of the Diocese of Digos. However, the religious sisters dominate. It was fun for me just to see and meet other religious. I got to meet another one of the monks from the Benedictine Monastery and he is a really nice guy. We will be going over there tomorrow to celebrate with them on their fiesta. They also elected new officers for ARMWOD. Yay for Br. Poloy who was elected President. I know it will be a challenge for him, but I think he will do great.

So there was a pageant to search for Mr. and Mrs. Art and Sciences Department here at Cor Jesu. Although I wasn't a judge I sat by the judges. Then the idea hit that I need to go buy the karaoke version of the song I like to sing and perform. Well I did just that and performed it. All the contestants were on stage and I was weaving in and out of them, going into the crowd, and just having a great time. I don't know what it is about the Philippines, but it is making me a star performer. I love it here.
