[Fr Cruz and Fr Bebot, the birthday boy...]
[the live performance]
A true blue Redemptorist will never reject an occasion to celebrate.
So it was a superbly eventful day for us on 6th July. The students had their recollection early in the morning. Later in the afternoon, we had the “unofficial” sending off of our 3rd year students to their overseas mission, and finally… while our dearly beloved Fr Rector was working his brains off in Spain trying to solve the magnanimous problem of global restructuring of the Redemptorist, our every so loving Centennial group decided to defy all odds and ‘storm’ our premises to hold yet another one of their oh-so-famous celebration cum party. Of course, they did it under the noble cause of celebrating our new Parish Priest Fr Bebot’s birthday. Hmmm…. So who are we to go against our second nature and make any comments? Everyone just decided to place all reasons and logics behind and just LET THE PARTY BEGIN!!!
Well, of course, with the newcomers and some guest lecturers everyone was well behaved and was at their best behavior in the beginning. After a few sips everyone started to get more relaxed and let their hair down. Highlights of the night of course were song performances by our Centennial members, and to top it off, we requested our own talent Br. Joseph to entertain the crowd. Well, let’s just say the entertainer in Br Joseph got the better of him once the microphone was in his hands as soon we realized that there was no way anyone can pry the mic out of his hands. His melodious singing continuously echoed through the whole seminary and graced the hearts of everyone.
At this point of time yours truly was already long gone from the party ground (dealing with the onset of yet another medical disaster), but later news indicated that there were some decoy involved in finally signaling to Br Joseph that the party is ending and have everyone heading back.
Well, I am sure everyone is looking forward to yet another celebration ahead. From the phantomlike singing heard in the common toilets I believe Br Joseph is already prepared for his up and coming performance. Man… there is just no dull day here.
