November 28th: Trip to Cavite

I really don’t know if it is right. At that point of time kasi, I was so confused if I was about to join in the pilgrimage or not.

I think it doesn’t seem right, because, my faith is very far different from those of my classmates. Because I accept the fact that I am studying in a private Catholic school, and the mentors are assuring a great experience to all of us in Benilde, so I choose to go with them.

It so happened that when it came a time that we were about to pay a P675-cost field trip (it is not a pilgrimage. for me, it’s a field trip, you know??), I realized that I decided to go with them at Cavite “for the sake of going with them”. I just want to travel places which I didn’t see before.

In fairness naman, ang lalaki ng mga churches na napuntahan namin. All of them have a cross-like area (if viewed from above). Ang ikinaiinis ko nga lang, may mga kung anu-ano pang mga kalokohan. Yun lang talaga ang nakasira ng concentration ko sa paglalaboy. Promise.

The church I really liked the most is the Pink Sisters (Adoration) in Tagaytay. It is indeed a quiet place we may call a “contemplating place”. The Pink Sisters singing there really reminds me of the brethren all around the globe who were members of the choir. They really have a wonderful voice. But, I am also having pity on them. Biruin mo, ang sipag nilang mag-pray. Talo pa yung ilang mga kapatid who intend to neglect their duties and responsibilities in the True Church. I am sad about the efforts the sisters have made since they came inside the convent. Nalulungkot lang talaga ako. I really do hope that God will enlighten their minds and souls. I can’t take it that no matter how hard they try, all their efforts will surely be rejected by the One.

Meanwhile, when we are inside the bus, I am so shocked that I was made fun by some (like JC). I’ll show you this video.


As you can see, the flag that was near me (in the video) was found in the sidewalk by one of us in CF1A while we are on our way to the bus. We came from the Silang Church, the second of the five churches we have visited. Brian, a classmate of mine, asked us what flag it is. Being familiar with the design, color and the overall appearance of the flag, I answered, “Pwede bang akin na lang?? Flag kasi namin yan eh.” So, he gave it to me. I brought that flag when I went home.
