I am NOT a critic. I'm merely an observer. (Books, movies, plays, musicals etc.)

THE MOVIES: CRANK2: HIGH VOLTAGE (mentioned) THE FIVE MOVIES: ANG TANGING PAMILYA 2012 NEW MOON NINJA ASSASIN A CHRISTMAS CAROL It's thirty minutes before I start to leave for church (I'm serving as a commentator for the 6pm mass) that I'm starting this entry.  I don't know if I'll finish it now or maybe after mass. Let's see. The past few weeks have been roller coaster rides with several dips and loops. Thrilling, but nauseating too. Last week was the worst among the few weeks. It was heartbreaking, but let's deal with that later (if you want, you can scroll down straight to it to save yourself some time) . Let me first talk about movies and try to connect them with my life. I've seen five movies in the past three weeks. I've seen three of them twice only because there was nothing else to watch.   I've seen every movie with RJ and one of them with Eise tagging along (Praise God!). When people I don't know

Unitatis Redintegratio (2nd Vatican Council Decree on Ecumenism) Category: Books Genre: Religion & Spirituality Author: Pope Paul VI Given in Rome at St. Peter's, November 21, 1964 Unitatis Redintegratio  means restoration of unity  Pope Paul VI was the first Pope (so more or less you guys know my age already) I have ever encountered. I was blessed to be carried by him when I was a toddler.  His work, like the Evangelii Nuntiandi , an apostolic exhortation, is the very heart of PREx (Parish Renewal Experience-started in the USA by Rev. Fr. Charles Gallagher, a Jesuit priest), which I first attended in the 1990s. “We wish to confirm once more that the task of evangelizing ALL people constitutes the essential mission of the Church. It is a task and mission which the vast and profound changes of present-day society make all the more urgent. Evangelizing is in fact the grace and vocation proper to the Church, her deepest identity. She exists to evangelize.”

First an introduction: Whew. I believe we had a very fruitful Parish Pastoral Council ExeCom meeting. Details will be spared, but I must say that everything discussed was fair. I was pleased to see that Europe was good to my friends who just came from there.  It's obvious that they enjoyed their 3 week pilgrimage.  Tiring, but fulfilling, I guess. Thank God that I've been to some of those places already, but I do miss traveling to that side of the world. Maybe after election season, who knows? Anyways, this was a fruitful day too. I helped dad with some of his work.  I'll be helping him during the weekend (tomorrow I'll try to do stuff for the VSAP's Voice newspaper maybe after visiting a friend) and hopefully this will prepare him for his trip to Davao on Monday. Please pray for traveling mercies... After lunch I brought RJ to Southmall where we watched  ALL ABOUT STEVE (more about this below) and ate at the Beraldi Coffee Kiosk. Storyline from imdb:
