From nurse to Dr. or the one whose mom is a nurse abroad? In fairness, lots of cutie altar boys in Acop ha. That's why I like going to mass there during Christmas (Midnight Mass).<BR/><BR/>San Jose Altar boys during our high school days, they spice up the mass (lol).lovelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867259873586524785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947625928985670113.post-22014808825673766632007-09-13T02:34:00.000-07:002007-09-13T02:34:00.000-07:00Lovelyn, not all guys who became sacristans are ma...Lovelyn, not all guys who became sacristans are mabait lol! <BR/>But yeah, working in the church as altar boys has somehow helped a number of men finish their schooling. Though for some, priests bring along their own relatives in their community to "work" for them as altar boys and "helper" in other needs. <BR/>PS. I cannot forget how funny one of the altar boys back in Acop misbehaved during masses. Agdildilat ketdin uray madama ti misa. Imbag na lang guwapo, hahaha. Anyway, he's a doctor now. I bet you'll take some time to guess who he is hehehe. Hey, don't make an overseas call huh! :)<BR/>BTW, thanks for taking time to visit my blog and leave those kind comments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947625928985670113.post-74043752068390314082007-09-12T03:23:00.000-07:002007-09-12T03:23:00.000-07:00Thanks.

Hihihi...mababait talaga mga sakristan.<BR/>__________________________________<BR/><BR/>Hi Bill, <BR/><BR/>Okay but give me time to call back home and beg them to locate the plaque and go research the complete details if they can't find that 'memento.<BR/><BR/>We used to see that hanged on my Lola's wall when we were kids. When she died, we don't know who among her children took it. Her house was demolished for road widening 2 years after she died. <BR/><BR/>So with most of the pictures we used to 'halungkat' in her baul when she goes to Baguio, we don't know who took it.<BR/><BR/>I'll give it to you soon.

And like your dad, we of course chose those not consecrated yet. : )<BR/><BR/>And just like your Lolo Ramon, I am also indebted to the Jesuits for my college education. I would always be thankful for them.Novice Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01179175891720082013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947625928985670113.post-16820083671434489342007-09-09T14:05:00.000-07:002007-09-09T14:05:00.000-07:00After reading your comment at Bill's blog about th...After reading your comment at Bill's blog about those sacred wines, I phoned up my Dad and asked if they tried drinking it. He told me, "We didn't just tried it, we always drink it". But, he was so defensive and keeps on repeating that it wasn't consecrated yet so its just an ordinary wine. Same with the holy bread saying, "adakel gayam"(so many, that's why).<BR/><BR/>He said they usually lock themselves in the 'sacristy' for these "meriendas".lovelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867259873586524785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947625928985670113.post-91094878747270586832007-09-09T00:07:00.000-07:002007-09-09T00:07:00.000-07:00Was baptized at the cathedral before your dad was ...Was baptized at the cathedral before your dad was a sacristan. Gosh, my late mother was such a devout catholic she drags us seven siblings every sunday. Eventually became an altar boy (anglican) since they let drink us their wine,<BR/>as opposed to the catholic where the priest only drink, 'twas unfair<BR/>don't you think. Reckon your dad must have sipped some on the side, hehe.....cheers always and goodhealth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
