Words

You never really know what kind of impact you could have on someone especially when you just talk to the person. Well tonight I got a really nice compliment from one of the students who was at our last Recollection and who I got to hang out with last Sunday at the swimming pool with the badminton team, he is on the team. At the recollection he went into some very personal stuff, especially dealing with his past. This guy has so much potential in life as well as in badminton, I told him I don't want you to be caught up in the past because it could impair your future. Who knew that those words of advice that I spoke to him could mean so much to him. He sent me a message thanking me for the advice, then he told me that he is adding me to his prayers. He also told me that I am a guardian angel to him as well as to others. I wasn't expecting to receive that. It really let's me know that I have something that I can share with others.

Today was just like yesterday, really slow. I finished working on my reflection for the BED. I also got a surprise concert by some of the Hummingbirds today, which I filmed. It was incredible, they are all really gifted singers. I washed clothes as well today, nothing exciting about that. In the afternoon, I was between the Campus Ministry Office and the new Vocations Office that Br. Dado has. It is a nice office and he is trying to get it all set up. I also did some reading on what one of our Brothers in the states put together on the Rule of Life. Interesting reading. Was suppose to play basketball tonight, but those plans fell through. Maybe next time though. I might be going to one of the high school classes next week and straighten out there students, hehe.

As you can see nothing to exciting happened for me today. Well wait a second, we had three stray kittens dropped off at Cor Jesu. We took them in, but one of the dogs got to them and ended up killing all three kittens. It was quite sad. They were just kittens.

I am trying to think of other things that are distinctive of the Philippines, but I am having writers block on that. However, one thing that is strange to me is that the Filipinos even when it is hot outside will wear a jacket, it happens more in the morning. It is cooler in the morning, but not to cool. Their sense of cold is a whole lot different then mine.
