Good times...

Man, I am not someone that cries easily, but tonight... well, tonight I almost shed a tear.

Todays is Joey's B-day ^_^ So we all went to pay him a visit at the Seminary (also known as God's Prision or the Christ's Brides Wannabes Bootcamp)... he was really happy. Although we were only able to stick around from 8:30 to 10:00 pm, we had the chance to share a good laugh, eat some cake and sing "happy birthday". I think that one of the things that I loved the most was that I acctually had the chance to spent time together not only with Joey, but with the whole gang (a rare event that happens just a few times a year)... good times. Laughing, sharings, huging... ^_^

There was a point, near the end of the evening when Joey said to me: "Man, I wanna leave this place with you guys..." he broke my heart, make me wanna cry... I dunno, when he told me this I felt very happy and sad at the same time. Happy because I realized how much this little visit meant for him, and sad because I remembered how much I have missed him.

So visit time was over, and we had to face a difficult choice: we could say bye, or stick around a little bit more and pray with the rest of the students. We chose to stay a while longer and pray with them.

It was hilarious, or at least, it was for me... hehehehe... I could see that Joey was very nervous becaused he feared that some of us would screw up or something... well... guess what? I DID SCREW UP!!! hehehehehehe... I got so nervous when it was my turn to pray the "Holy Mary" that I reinvented it. Some of them laugh, some of them didn't care and, maybe if I did a good job, some of them didn't even notice.

My brother told me that when the whole thing was over this guy said to him: "you guys doen't pray very often, right?" to which he responded: "that's right".

The night... or better yet, the visit was over, we said good bye to Joey, give him a hug and went home. I miss him... very much.

Good luck to you Joe...


PS: I hate exams... hehehehe... they take away my precious free time. Exams make baby Jesus cry.
