This is a log of my daily experiences here in Surabaya for my four months exposure to the Indonesian people, language and culture. I am a Filipino Dominican deacon, staying here in our Parish at Gereja Katolik Redemptor Mundi, Jl. Dukuh Kupang Barat I/7, Surabaya, Indonesia. Please feel free to comment and inter-act with this site. You may likewise want to add yourself to my followers in the "talatuki" widget. Selamat Datang!

Februari 26, hari ini Sabtu
Just had a wonderful dinner with Co Tik Jun, Chi Ana, Victor, Bryan and Romo Adrian at Sushi Hana, Terima Kasih Banyak! Likewise I had my second anticipated Sunday mass in Bahasa today, with my improvised copy of the responses for the mass, which I can say was really a great help. I am planning to ask Pak Yono a copy of the readings for the day so that I can at least practice reading Bahasa even if I can't make sense of the words yet. A funny thing happened at mass today when during the Gospel acclamation, one of the male choir members sang his own tune for the alleluia. It was so different, that the choir did not sing with him. Although the organist played with him at first, but because of the unique tune he was singing, the organist also gave up and so the soloist was forced to really sing by himself, nagsolo na talaga siya. Almost everyone was smiling, one thing about him though, he held his post and showed real self-confidence. At least pinangatawanan niya ang ginawa niya, kanta kung kanta di ba, carry lang!
