Wednesday Groove

Last wednesday was crazy hearing a band i totally forgot at the moment the name at the 70's Bistro. With Adrian, we wrecked the dance floor with our groovy dance grooves grooving over SKa music and eclectic music but sounds all the same with the twirling, whirling beer spirit over our heads.

It was a night of renewal and friendship as i met a father of my student for the second time then meeting a former seminarian teaching philosophy who happens to be a housemate of Atty. Adrian.

Its been two days and i still cannot remember the band's name. I've mentioned it to my sister yesterday and now, i am at a lost! the singer styled like Jason Mraz in his trilby but can play a mean guitar while singing.

Memory lost! Its the age thing creeping again.

pawi ng lamig

Sa Silid ng pag-uusap
isip ay lumulutang-usad
nginig ng kalamnan dulot ng erkon
pinapawi ng init galing sa prodyektor

Don Bosco and Victor Hugo

I just learned that Don Bosco was visited by the famous Victor Hugo (Les Miserables, Hunchback of Notre Dame) during his brief stay in Paris, France. Hugo was a known anti-cleric but i think were intrigued with the way Don Bosco addressed the problems besetting Italy's youth.

Victor Hugo said, and i quote," "Don Bosco is a man of legend."

Two great individuals who hoped for a better world in different perspectives, two brilliant and honest minds and hearts who influenced my way in viewing things actually met during their time! That story really made my day!

Anachronism in Lagro

I saw this rolling store at the intersection of SM Fairview on my way to Sapang Palay. The cow, the wares, and the owners came all the way from Pangasinan to try out their luck against the imperial mall in the metropolis.
