Angsts and Answered Prayers at the U.P. Chapel

I attended mass at the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice in UP Diliman last Sunday. In my kumpare’s blog Shooting Churches, Eating Noodles I commented that this was where I once prayed fervently and God/ Jesus gave me exactly what I asked Him too. This was, however not the reason why I was in Metro Manila last Sunday. I made luwas because I had to pick-up my Konica Minolta digicam from the repair shop in Hidalgo St. I hitched a ride with my nephews who were attending their sister’s rice store blessing in Laguna. My husband went with them but I decided not to join them. I told them I’ll wander off a bit and smell the air of Quezon City.

Since it was too early to go to SM North EDSA (TRINOMA wasn’t there yet in 2003, my last year in QC before deciding to resettle in the province), I decided to take the FX to PHILCOA and visit my Alma Mater. I also remembered that it was Sunday so I texted my husband and told him I’m attending Mass at UP.

The Making of U.P. & Me

I am writing a blog as an entry to the “100 Kwentong Peyups” in celebration of the University of the Philippines’ 100th year. It’s turning out into an autobiographical sketch and it might take a hundred years to finish. Whose story wouldn’t when one is lucky to have a new life at UP? So for now, I am posting her a survey that will give you a peep of my upcoming U.P. and Me.
