Sinagtala Choir

In this entry, let me introduced to you my church group, The Sinagtala Parish Youth Choir.

Who will expect that worshiping and praising God is seems to be boring? No not at all, we in the sinagtala choir thought before that singing religious songs and serving the lord via church are boring. Singing for the mass and praying along.

Until I met my Church group We are known as sinagtala Choir, we sang every sunday during the 3 rd morning mass in San nicolas de tolentino.I can say that serving the lord is fun if you just learn to enjoy it. in my case, i reallly enjoying giving glory to God while sharing my talent to the mass.

We are a group of youth in talisay, maybe some of us are schoolmates, all of us has a lot of story to tell of how we become a youth that we are today. All of us has a story to tell of the most unforgetable experience in the choir.

Sinagtala Choir after mass during the easter sunday mass

Saturday afternoon was known to our practice day. We need to memorize the tone of the song and create a correct blending in order to give justice to the song pieces that we are singing and also to give worship to the Lord. Getting new songs and reviewing old songs is our routine every Saturday to be followed by "kulitan" with the gang. We can say that by doing that we are creating a bonding with the group.with a piece of guitar, doing sound tripping and talking of the happenings for the past week will serve as our bonding session with the gang. After the practice, well you can see us, going to the nearest supermarket and buying snacks. Rehearsals are a bit tiring and we often got hungry after it.
we even buy ice cream, just to sooth our voice. hahahaha....

Sunday is the highlight of the group. waking up earl;y, preparing for the mass and sing joyfully for the mass to be solemn. In fairness to all of us, when we first step into the choir, We are not the singers material but i can say that we develop our talent in singing.

After mass is another  scenario. perhaps we practice a new song or just review what we practiced on Saturday but if Christmas is fast approaching, then its the time to practice our caroling pieces. If we are schedule for a wedding mass and a funeral mass we practice it after the sunday mass to perfect the song on the scheduled dates. We as well go to nang Ginas place to eat breakfast and even staying for a day, the so called TAMBAY!




Some of us grew up in this group. I am a member of this group for almost five years, and now we are still growing strong, maybe some of our manang's and manong's left the country and the province for a greener pasture but in their blood runs a true sinagtala spirit.

A committed group of youth now known SINAGTALA will once be, and forever will be.

Dilema

Masarap ang gising ko, sapat ang tulog at mukhang masaya ang panginip. may ngiting dala nag umga sa akin, tumayo ako sa higaan ko, una kung tining nan ang sarili ko, isang 3 di kanais-nais na mga bagay ang tumambad sa mga pagmumukha ko. naisin ko mang sumigaw, nakakhiya. Nakaka bad trip ang mag karoon ng taghiyawat. Kung saan pa na pinaghahandaan ko na ang pagbabalik ko sa bahay at sa mga barkada ko, tinubuan pa Aako nga mga malalaking taghiyawat na ito. anu ba ang nagawa kung kasalanan at bakit ako mayroong ganito ka lilikot at kalalke na mga bagay sa mukha, naging masama ba akong tao para parusahan ako ng ganito, mapapraning na ata ako sa pag iisip ng mga bagay tulad nito. gusto ko silang isa isahing pisa-in. Gusto ko silang dangkutin at paduguin ng sabay, hindi pa ba sapat sa kanil;a ang pahiran ng kung anu anung gamot. sadya na yatang mahaba ang buhay ng mga hayop na iyon anu pa man, sana marealize ng mga walang konsiderasyong bagay na ito na kahit kailan ay di ko sila ginusto.

P.S.
walang magawa, nabad trip lang dahil sa 3 pimples na tumubo sa pisngi ko. kailan kaya ito ma-alis. nakakdiring tingnan...

TV!

Its been 7 months since the last time i watched my fav TV programs. Of course news was known for me to be essential.Being updated to the current event was a need for me. yeterday our housemate was able to have a TV set from his uncle. How nice to have one in our place. We can now enjoy the shows in the comfort of our boarding house. We can update ourselves of the latest happenings in the country without searching it over the web. Cartoon programs will then be very exciting for us. watching shows that was designed for a kid like me. hahhhahaa.....

Anyway, I am so glad to have a TV in our Boarding house.Hope we can have one in our very own room.

Summer ko yan!

Huli man at magaling, huli pa rin. Tama ka kaibigan its too late na nga para i celebrate ang summer ang importante, na icelebrate pa rin namin. Nakadalo nga ako sa isang masayang party sa beach. Lahat ng officemates mo ay nasa party mode, stop muna sa pressure na dala ng trabaho, ito nga ang tamang panahon para mag relax. At yun ang ginawa ko. Bumaha ng pagkain, inumin"take not ang inyong lingkod ay hindi uminom gawa na healty living ako ngayon". palarong napakasaya, sa tema ng party na Survivor, nag expect na talaga ako na may games na super yucky ang dating, at tama nga ang hinala ko, mayron nga, akalain mo ba naman na nakapiring ka at pahahawakan sa iyo ang something long. at yun na mag-aakala ka na ahas ang nahahawakan mo, pero hindi eh, isa lang itong malansang EEL. Haisssst... Pero masaya ang laro, lalo na pag nakikita mong sumisigaw ang kasamahan mo pag nakakahawak ng something long na iyon. i=bang games din na mag lolongest line ka rin lang sa tubig pa. at siyempre mga Uod na nasa obstacle ang kailangn mong usongin para manalo. Haissst ulit ang saya. Pero di ako nagpahuli sa pagkain, kahit walang lasa ang food okey lang, naubusan pa nga ako ng lechon. pero nag order din naman sila ulit ng lechon kaya solve din ako., plus pa ang music na reggae, Ang init ng panahon ay di nag pa huli dahil inenjoy ko rin naman iyon ng husto, siyempre picturan ako kahit saan, nakakilala din ako ng maraming kaibigan na doon ko lang na meet kahit na parati kaming nagkakabangaan sa office. Kwetuhan to the max, kakapagod nga eh. pero okey lang masaya naman. Pagkatapos ng mahabang lao, kainan at kwentuhan di rin naman kmi nagpahuli sa swimming. Kahit na nangangapa lang ako ay di rin ako nagpahuli sa mga kasamahan kong lumangoy kunwari sa tubig. Natapos ang araw na iyon na ako ay pagod. Swerte ko lang at sa gabi pa ang pasok ko the next day kaya nakapag pahinga ako ng boung araw. na miss ko rin kasi ang ganitong outing na kadalasan ginagawa ko lang kasama ng mga barkada ko. Kaya kahit na panahon na ng ulan at bagyo, narito pa rin kami at masayang hinahabol ang summer. hanngang sa susunod na summer ulit.

Graduation

Aminado ako na excited ako sa mga graduations ko noong nasa
prep at elementary at high school ako, pero bakit ngayon kung kailan na matatpos ang mga paghihirap ko sa school ay tinatamad naman akong dumalo sa graduation, Kung sabagay, wala naman akong uuwian dun eh, kasi naman ang mga kaibigan kung yun, di rin uuwi, siguro para maki-uso din rin ako uuwi, pero sa tuwing maaalala ko ang mga napagdaanan ko sa college naisp ko, dapat lang na bumalik ako sa graduation, pero bakit pa, nandito na rin ako sa cebu, may trabaho na, para anu pa at babalik ako doon sa school. Ngunit nang mag paalam ako sa mama ko na hindi ako uuwi, isang malakas na Uwi ang natanggap ko, naiintidihan ko si mama, eto na lang yata ang maiibiigay ko sa kanya bilang pasasalamat sa sakripisyong ginawa niya upang mapa-aral kami ng kapatid ko. Siguro nga maliit na bagay lang ito, pero para kay mama, isang malaking karangalan ang makita niya akong nag mamartsa kumukuha ng aking diploma na bunga ng kanyang paghihirap sa loob ng maraming taon, Kaya nabuo na ang aking pasya, Paghahandaan ko ang graduation ko dahil minsan lang ito mangyari, alay ko sa mama ko..

Boarding Life

Its been 7 months already since i step out in our home and face a challenging role of being an independent person. It was my studies who put me here. At first i treat this new experience as fun since no parents will watch your moves, you can party if all night long without thinking of possibility to be grounded the next day. But, there are not so nice things to see with in this happenings in my life, knowing that no parents will cook for you, wash your clothes and fixed your stuff if you mess it up. You need to be responsible person for yourself. No one will be there to comfort you in times that you need to be comforted. for a person like me who is very family oriented person, its so hard to think that i was away from my parents for the first time.

You need to wake up early, you need to cook for your own food, you need to fixed your clothes, and the thing is you need to wake up early by yourself no mommy to wake you up to yell that you are late..hehehe...i remember in my first few days here, i always dare to cook my own food which later on cannot be eaten by a human being so i end up eating in a fast food. washing clothes is such a problem for me. Imagine sitting in the laundry area washing your clothes, i find it hard since i only washed clothes like two pieces or three. Aside from all of this, the most important among all is money, You need to be a responsible in your money, don't wait the day that you need to get another phone call to asked another money from parents, heheheh...

anyway, boarding life is fun,challenging and more fun, you can discover a lot a things, things about yourself...
hope you can relate..hehehe

Kudos to my parents...

I am living in the queen city of south for almost 6 months. Its my job who brought me to this place. At first there are hesitations to stay in place, but you can learn to love Cebu if you can see wonderful spots around the city. Its my first time to leave our home, imagined a 18 years old left their home to live independently in a big city like Cebu, but of course since i am a strong person with a strong personality, i manage to carry all the challenges in life with no hesitations at all. maybe i could say that i owe it all to my parents who raise us well. Given the thing that i have all the will to do anything with a given independence, still i managed to be a god fearing and an obedient son to my parents even with an island distance from them. maybe, if my mom did not taught us of a virtue of good manners, maybe in an environment that i have right now, most likely, i will be that kind of person who drinks and drinks liquor until i drops. But its the way i raised, the virtue of my values which made me a better person. I owe it all to my parents... Kudos to all of you..
