Februari 25 hari ini Jumat

Today we celebrate the 25th year of EDSA revolution, a peaceful gathering of the people to show their undivided support against an unjust system. Likewise, we had the monthly breakfast with the parishioners here at Redemptor Mundi. As they say, the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach, this adage was again affirmed by the number of faithful who came for breakfast after the morning mass. Bomo Boedi cooked "nasi goreng" extra pedas, extra spicy. I learned the meaning of masak or to cook and the cook as kok, if my information is betul or right. Again I survived talking with the people with only terima kasih, selamat pagi, saya tidak mengerti bahasa indonesia, sidikit, enak sekali, panas and ofcourse apa kabar. new words I learned pedas and masak. Its a pity that I can't understand nor can i speak good Bahasa because I feel the warmth of the people who shows interest even if we are separated by a language barrier.  It's good though that the parish have such gatherings, it not only foster brotherhood and sisterhood but likewise breaks the walls of indifference and introduces everyone as members of one keluarga or family. I am looking forward for the next parish breakfast and hopefully by that time I can speak more Bahasa Indonesia.

    komusta among paul? hehe. hope you are fine in indonesia. were you able to see fr. erwin? anyways, good you have some time to blog pa even with your busy sked. about your post, the first time i heard bahasa indonesia (bec the indon embassy in the PHL gave short course in our office) i thought it resembled capampangan [anak, api,bulan,datang,nasi among many others]. maybe you are in a better advantage to learn bahasa, because of its close resemblance to amanung sisuan (anang wikepedia, wahehe). take care and God bless =)
