Musings in the Dormitory

Scribbling a few notes kept me company during the days when my only entertainment was books in 2003. After eleven plus years I still have it with me.

I wrote two sentences about the moon. I can not exactly remember what I was feeling or experiencing when I wrote it but probably I was feeling homesick which I usually felt at the dormitory.

The moon has taught me not to weep for wandering souls. 
They have to find their light among the stars that shine so bright.

Inspired by my first ever visit  to Baclaran Church after a job interview in a freight company, I wrote a note in Filipino entitled "Novena". I remember that t was almost noon when I came to light a candle and pray that I can get a job the soonest.

Ako ay yuyuko
Sa harap ng mga rebultong
Pinapalibutan ng mga kandila at sampaguita

Ipipikit ko ang aking mata 
At ibubulong ko kay Santa Maria
Ang aking pagkakasala

Ako ay luluhod sa gitna ng altar
Dahan-dahan maglalakad patungo kay Hesukristo
At hihingi ng pagpatawad sa aking pagkatao
