hello all
Hello peeps.. you guys are like my little bros and sis.. so I hope that after confirmation we’ll still keep in touch k.. I hardly see people from my batch going to holy family anymore.. maybe they do go to other churches, maybe they don’t… for my brother’s batch, (which is one year older than me, which is.. um.. 5 years older than you guys), some of them still keep in touch.. just about 3 weeks ago, they had a mini cat class reunion at fish and co.. I was there too. (yea yea,, I know.. so extra right..) but it was really fun!!! They were just sitting there and looking back at the silly times they had in cat class, and this person this. That person that.. and it was really really sweet and heartwarming and we had lots and lots of fun. (even though I wasn’t even from their class.. )
And looking at our class, I can’t help but wonder if you guys would end up like my class, or my brother’s class. Somehow I hope that you guys will still hang out and chill and go to church and say hi to all the catechists and old old me after your confirmation class.. but I do know that this is a personal commitment that has to come from YOU. And YOU alone. By the time you guys get confirmed, I hope some (in fact all) of you, would know what you wanna do with your faith journey and what ministries to join. Looking at my brother’s batch, those who went for the gathering are all in some form of ministry or another.. and I wonder if there might be any relationship there…….
But fret not! Now’s not yet the time to decide what ministry you wanna go etc. if you have joined one, GOOD FOR YOU! If you haven’t, ask yourself WHY. I’ve talked to some of you about this, and some feel that church is a waste of time.. if that were the case, then why do you wanna get confirmed at all? Ask yourself these questions.. why am I a Christian. Why do I wanna get confirmed (isit because so that I can get married later on without any hassle?) what does ‘church’ mean to me.. why do I and have I been attending confirmation classes for the past 3 + years, sitting there in that bare classroom listening to those catechists drone on and on and on and on.. and FOR WHAT? Is it because your parents made you do it? If that were the case, do YOU think there is something wrong with that mentality?
I personally feel that you guys are pretty cool, really. Some of you are pretty mature and that never fails to surprise me.. perhaps because in my mind you guys will always be those nervous 13 year olds who first stepped into the classroom thinking you already knew everything.. (seriously, I still can remember the first day :) ), like I said, you guys will always be my little bros and little sis.. so if there’s anything I can do for you all, just holler! I’ll be most happy to help. see my happy face :)
So, I’ve set up this blog so that you all can keep in touch with each other, and also so that I can keep in touch with YOU! I know some of you all have expressed concerns on whether or not this blog will even survive and sustain.. personally, I have no definite answer to that question.. this blog will only survive if YOU want it to.. so do you want to???
Okay I think this is enough ranting for the first post. Now on to the second post, where the “rules” are.. yup yup. Rules rules rules.. who needs them right…we do! But I promise they’re really simple.. promise promise promise..

My Garden
A class of youth, struggling to place themselves in a future that seems too distant and alien.
Sometimes, plants grow
And so, we look back

Thinking of the present
Rules for Writing.
1. Please include your name, because as much as we like to pretend we are psychic, we are not.
2. Please do not erase anything from the former posts especially those not written by you. This is rude, people.
3. Please write with seemingly objective views. I say seemingly because sometimes, subtlty works too. (:
