    This year, the youth all over the world gathered again to celebrate a Catholic tradition which is the World Youth Day. I’ve been a constant follower of WYD Celebration since I’ve attended the 20th WYD in Cologne. It’s been 8 years already but I can still remember and feel how I felt that time. It…

    It has been a while since I published a travel post. Based from my timeline, last I wrote was about our Singapore trip way back early last year. Until now, I haven’t finished sharing my trips last year. This year, I’ve started travelling last February and every month after it. So this is one of the reasons…

    Pope Benedict XVI is the next Pope after Pope John Paul II. At first I called him Pope Ratzinger, a strong and scary name for me. Although I wanted to see PJP II during my first World Youth Day celebration as a a pilgrim, it was nice to experience how the new Pope was during…

    I happened to recover my previous blog. I will repost it with minimal edits so as not to destroy the momentum. I was laughing hard when I read it because of the lack of information compared to Roan’s blog. Anyway, no time for comparison now, here’s my own version of the 20th World Youth Day…

    As of writing, my friend Zeny is enjoying and celebrating the 26th World Youth Day in Madrid, Spain. She is a delegate of the Archdiocese of Manila since there will be no official delegates from the Pontifical University.

    Exactly 2 months ago, our friend was ordained Priest by the Arch Bishop of Manila, Gaudencio Rosales. He is now officially called Rev. Fr. Carlo del Rosario. It was a huge event, similar to that of a wedding ceremony since the Manila Cathedral was full. He was not the only one being ordained that day…

    August, the 8th month of the year, the rainy season in the Philippines, happens to be my Travel Month. A lot of you may ask why but this happened to be a mere coincidence. It all started last 2005. Its been 5 years now and it still felt like yesterday. My first ever international travel…

    Yesterday, I attended a Deaconal Ordination of Sem. Carlo del Rosario in UST Chapel. It was my first time to attend such occasion and maybe some of you might be feeling the same way we did. Since it’s a deaconal ordination, it’s one step closer to Priesthood. Let me tell you my experience. March 19,…

    I was googling for a Lenten Retreat schedules and then I saw this interesting article. It was the message of the Pope at the End of their Lenten Retreat. He was thankful for Fr. Enrico Dal Covolo who is a Salesian priest. It always makes me smile when I’m reading something about Salesians as well…

    It’s been 1 year but the memories are all fresh. *sigh* We celebrated our reunion in Bellinis Restaurant in Cubao, QC last August 12, 2006. Like Ben said, we can’t help but get emotional… Here’s a video that Roan made just for the reunion: Weltjugendtag 2005 Deutschland
