Prayer When Visiting A Grave (Tagalog)
PANALANGIN KUNG DUMADALAW SA ISANG LIBINGAN
Ginigiliw na mga kaluluwa sa Purgatorio, na ang mga katawan
ngayon ay nababaon sa pinagpalang pook na ito, masdan ninyo akong naririto
ngayon upang magpuri sa Dios at tumulong sa inyo. Naparito ako upang dumalaw at umaliw sa inyo
at upang kayo’y ibsan ng hirap sa pamamagitan ng pagwiwisik ng tubig na
binasbasan sa inyong libingan. Yaong sa
katunayan ay siya ninyong Kaaliwan ay siyang aaliw sa inyo at Siyang tunay na
Kapahingahan at Kapayapaan ay siyang magdudulot sa inyo ng ganap na kapahingahan. Si Hesukristong Bugtong na Anak ng Dios, Na ipinako sa paripa ng Krus at namatay dahil sa inyo ay Siya ngayong magpapadaloy ng Pulang-pula Niyang Dugo
mula sa Limang Sugat sa mga apoy ng Purgatorio.
Ang Kamahal-mahalang Dugong ito ang siyang pupukaw at magbibigay-ginhawa
sa mga kaluluwa sa gitna ng kanilang paghihirap. Pinakamamahal na mga kaluluwa ng aking mga
magulang at mga ninuno, ng aking mga kamag-anak, mga kaibigan, at ng lahat ng
aking mga kakilala—kayo ay binabati ko at pinasasalamatan sa lahat ng ginawa
ninyong kabutihan sa akin. Bilang
pagkilala ng utang na loob na ito ay inihahandog ko alang-alang sa inyo ang
masaganang karapatan ni Jesus at ni Maria, gayon din ng lahat ng Banal at
Pinili ng Dios. Buong pagpapakumbaba
kong isinasamo sa kanila na kayo ay kanilang idalangin at pahupain ang poot ng
Katarungang-Dios. Subali’t
dinadalanginan kong lalong lalo na yaong mga mahal na kaibigan ng Dios, na ang
mga katawan ay nalilibing dito subali’t ang kaluluwa ay maligayang maligayang
naninirahan ngayon sa langit, upang idalangin nila ang mga naghihirap na
kaluluwa ng kanilang mga kaibigan at kapuwa at hilinging sila ay palayaing
maaga sa kanilang mga kahirapan.
Ipamalas ninyo sa kanila ang Kawanggawang Kristiyano na nag-uutos sa
inyong gawan ng mabuti ang inyong kapuwa at ialay sa Dios ang dalanging itong
iniaanib ko sa inyong mga dalangin para sa kaaliwan ng mga naghihirap na
kaluluwa sa Purgatorio. Siya nawa.
PANALANGIN KUNG AALIS NA SA LIBINGAN
Ipinagkakatiwala ko kayo, minamahal na mga kaluluwa, sa Dios
at iniaalay ko ang aking dalangin sa Dios alang-alang sa inyo. Kung kayo naman ay lumaya na sa Purgatorio at
ako ay siyang naghihirap sa Purgatorio, ako sana ay inyong alalahanin at ihingi
ng kapatawaran sa Dios. Siya nawa.
Barangay Election
A holiday because it is the day to vote our
barangay officials.
Went to the voting precinct. Took me about one and one-half hours to vote. Instead of proceeding home, decided to go to the mall.
Had brunch of Classic Country Medley at
Pancake House, bought a discounted movie ticket for
Don Jon, and window-shopped while waiting for the start of my movie.

Jon is a lothario, who does not have problems in hooking-up with women. The movie shows the rhythm of Jon's life. A creature of habit, from cleaning his pad, driving angrily, goes to church, goes to confession, have dinner with his family, works out while doing penance, goes to clubs, hooks up with girls, and watch porn. The small changes in this pattern eventually makes Jon a better person. Don't like the message that came across about confession. No wonder Angel Gabriel in the movie
Constantine went "cuckoo".
After, had snunch (lunch-snack) at
Food Choices and dessert at
Vanilla Cupcake Bakery, before proceeding home.
My niece is looking for her Halloween costume. Accompanied her at
Market, Market.
Ho-Hum
Was late, thus, won't be able to watch a movie.
So, picked-up the order I made at
Rina's Design for my Christmas gifts, ate lunch at
The Landmark's food court, dessert at
The Vanilla Cupcake Bakery and just window-shopped while waiting for the anticipated Mass.
After the Mass, had dinner at
Kaya. On the way to Kaya, saw my niece with her friend, gallivanting. LOL
After which, went to
National Bookstore to check-off more on my Christmas list.
Photoshop Workflow
Our office's camera club activity is a Photoshop Workflow workshop. Would be attending to document the activity.
After, walked my way to
Ayala Center (can't seem to get a jeepney ride). Have a cupcake-fix at
Vanilla Cupcake Bakery, browsed for a
Wacom tablet (my niece is planning to borrow my Wacom tablet and I hope I can still find it); then, attended the anticipated Mass.
After, had dinner at
Lugang Cafe. Don't try the Taiwanese Rice noodle. :-P
Framed Shots: Vanishing Trade
Our camera club's monthly meeting. Usually, those who celebrate their birthday for the month would be bringing the food. Thus, passed first at
Amber's to buy a
bilao of spaghetti.
Dropped-off the spaghetti in our club's meeting place including my entries for the month's photo theme. Then, proceeded to
Glorietta. Our
Linksys broadband router which we have been using for more than 10 years has said bye-bye. And to think, we're not turning off the unit.
Hmmm... remembered I bought a
Belkin router for my room but replaced it with
NetGear (I wanted a small footprint and Linksys doesn't have a router with a small footprint). The Belkin router is fast for wireless connections but kind of slow for wired connection. NetGear works a-OK. Since most users of the faster internet at house uses wireless, set-up the Belkin router. Although, bought a Linksys router, too, at
CompLink.
Kung Fu Divas
Finally, would be watching the movie I wanted to watch. Missed it last Thursday since watched
Escape Plan and
Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 instead.
It's like if Judy Ann Santos would star in a comedy movie, I would watch it (Judy Ann is known for drama). If Robin Padilla would star in a comedy movie, I would watch it (Robin Padilla is known in action genre). And if Marian Rivera would star in a comedy movie, I, too, would watch it.
A comedy, action movie wherein to beauty pageant rivals became allies when people they care about would be put in danger. Funny. One would wonder what it is about the panties... weh! It has puns and satire. "Thank you for that wonderful question." c",)
Since there is still time before the anticipated Mass, ticked-off items in my to-do list including batery operated mini-shredder, belt, eco bag (bought using Sodexho gift certificate bought with my Citibank reward points).
After, attended the anticipated Mass and treat my friends at
Chili's. Since it is the final game of the UAAP, many La Salle students are at Chili's cheering while watching the basketball game on TV. Wise move--instead of buying PhP4,000 worth of ticket from scalpers.
Bed-Weather
Day 5.
Rest on a bed-weather day.
License To Escape Under Cloudy
Day 4.
Scheduled for today to renew my driver's license. Usually, it is OK during your birthday month. Now, at least 2 months before your birthday, you can already renew it. Thus, incurred a penalty. Weh! Took me two (2) hours to renew.
After, went for a movie marathon.
My first movie is
Escape Plan, starring Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzeneg
ger. Thumbs up! Action with twists. And the two "gel". Ray Breslin (Stallone) was hired to test the state-of-the-art prison facility. Breslin is a security expert who specializes in breaking out of prisons. He meets there Rottmeyer (Schwarzenegger), who helps him figure out how to escape to a seemingly impregnable prison.

My second movie is Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2. After saving his town from his invention, Flint Lockwood discovers that his machine is still working and it has created mutant food creatures on their island. Another thumbs up! Zany, creative, colorful and entertaining. Also focuses on family and friendship.

Asked my niece to pick me up at the mall before proceeding home. Good decision (in after thought). So while waiting for her, already bought and/ or ordered gifts for Christmas. Better to check-off many on my Christmas list. Hehehe!
The trip home took three (3) hours because of the rains and instant flood (including some of the drivers who do not know how to give way). Weh!
My Day
Day 3. And, my day!
Will meet my friends for lunch at
a Veneto Pizzeria Ristorante. But since I am looking for Bryan Peterson's Understanding Photography Field Guide (I have looked at all the bookstores in
Glorietta), decided to start at
Greenbelt. Wrong move. The shops at Greenbelt opens at 11AM!
So, had breakfast at
McDonald's instead before walking my way to Glorietta.
The lunch was fun. It sure was nice to meet friends and share anecdotes while having sumptuous lunch.
After, dropped by
Greenbelt Chapel to thank Him for all the graces He bestowed on me.
Proceeded home to rest before proceeding to
The Emerald Garden Restaurant to buy some take-out food since my family and friends would be celebrating at home.
Gravity
Day 2.
Would be treating my people at
Cabalen. It is a restaurant that offers Filipino cuisine. Known for its very reasonable priced buffet. I was first to arrive, followed suit by the fly. I wonder if the
mambabarang (translation: witch) feels bad he/ she is not invited to the treat. Weh! Very persistent, indeed.
After, treated myself to a movie. Starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock,
Gravity, a drama, sci-fi movie where a mission to upgrade the Hubble Space telescope goes wrong leaving a pair of astronauts stranded in space.

Checklist
Hair-pampering day. Also, it is Day 1 of my five-day mandatory leave.
But first, had breakfast at
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. My food hasn't arrived yet but the fly is already atop on one of the seats. The
mambabarang (translation: witch) is persistent.
Then, proceeded to H&M Studio.
After, ate a late lunch at Food Choices first before I tick-off items in my to-do list.
My list:
- Nexium
- Greenbelt chapel
- LoadXtreme
- ink for my Canon printer
Once complete, proceeded home.

Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photo Walk 2013
D-Day.
Woke up really early since I have to be at the meet-up place by 6:30AM for the
Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photo Walk 2013-Manila, Philippines leg led by Mr.
Tilak Hettige. Besides, I have the list for the registration and the pin buttons that would serve as souvenir for the photo walkers.
Odd. There were actually four (4) groups starting at the
Rajah Sulyaman Park, near
The Aristocrat restaurant. Well, at least in our case, the photo walkers seems not to be "lost" looking for their group and we started on time. There's this group who was already there earlier than 6:30AM but saw them around 8AM and their walk have not started! Would it be possible that their photo walk leader is (very) late?!
At around 9AM, we were at The Aristocrat for brunch.
(Photos of the group can be found in the
flickr.)
Went home to change, drop my gear and proceeded to
Glorietta for my usual weekend haunt.
My movie is
Riddick. Good thing they returned it again this week because it was no longer being shown at Glorietta 4 Cinemas last week.
The continuation of The Chronicles of Riddick, after being crowned as the leader, there were several attempts on his life, he was left in a planet filled with alien predators. His vengeance is to survive. Since his head has a bounty, he used this to have mercenaries go to the planet in order to use their ship to "taxi" him out of it. Definitely, full of action. You can actually learn something from the film. (a) Observe and adapt to survive. (b) Your word is your honor.

After the movie, attended the anticipated Mass and had dinner at
Kaya. Of course, had my cupcake fix at
The Vanilla Cupcake Bakery.
