quote for the day (january 22,2009)

when i joined the rest of the college department for the novena to st. john bosco just this afternoon, fr. mon borja, sdb (our administrator) gave us a little joke, but with a great deal of sense and wisdom:

"ano ang isang bagay na kahit anong hilod o kahit anong ligo, eh hindi man lang matanggal?...
...e di LIBAG!"

he then continued:

"alam nyo, pag nakikita ko si Don Bosco, para syang libag."

the college students inside the chapel burst into laughter, but fr. mon continued his talk, explaining:

"di ba, yung libag, laging nandyan sa katawan natin, much like Don Bosco. kahit anong gawin natin na tanggalin sa sistema natin si Don Bosco, o kaya ang pagiging Bosconian natin, hinding-hindi na ito mangyayari."

he asked at the end of his short talk:

"are we not glad to have Don Bosco in our lives?"

for me, i say...I AM PROUD TO BE BOSCONIAN, AND I AM PROUD TO HAVE DON BOSCO IN MY LIFE!
