i thought it would be a very long and boring day. i just kept on wishing that the day would end soon. but later then, with an unexpected turn of events, right then i wished to stop time and be still on that moment forever. a place of comfort and soundness. a place like heaven.

DYA CONFERENCE '09
we started it with a celebration of the Holy Eucharistic mass. then poured out the youth's energy and enthusiasm by a parade from the San Jose Parish to SCC-YDC gym. we relaxed and look for our happy place, oh, i mean, our respective places in the gym. after switching places every now and then, we finally settled to the left side of the gymnasium. then the conference started and ended swiftly, now becoming a priceless memory and experience of my existence.

UNITY Dance
i forgot the lyrics but i swear that was great. SUPER! and one line of the song i didn't forgot is this,"Move to the groove, CHRIST is the prize."

Saint Paul
the main focus of our conference is about the life and faith of Saint Paul who was once known as Saul of Tarsus, the prosecutor.
++
Saint Mary
we had group activities and i am in Saint Mary's group! i admire one of my groupmates. wetwew! though he's from Pagadian still its the first time i've heard him speak. and i secretly peeked on his nametag to see for myself what his name is. and it's Alvin.

Session! Session! Session!
first session was about faith. sounds fun as faith is often illustrated with a relationship with the other being. yet faith is so hard to achieve. so easy to say but so diffucult to portray.
second, unity in Christ. as far as what Fr. Suarin had stressed during his lecture, unity in Christ means living ecumenically with all.
and last yet the most memorable for me was the talk of Sister Aquinas. she had given us two challenges as we go on with our conference. first challenge was to live out what Fr. Suarin was telling us and second was to be silent. be SILENT.
