during that time, the customary of the house is that: a postulant shall wear a blue short work habit (which was changed now to gray short work habit) as his getup whenever he attends the prayers of the day, wherever he goes in all areas of the monastery and whenever he attends any siginificant occasion and gathering in the community. those were the days that seemed to be the longest for me as far as hoping to wear a long black habit was concerned...it took me six months to get to wear the black habit i've been dreaming to wear in my lifetime...

i guess what you were wearing then was the same one given to those guys in "The Monastery". iba nga lang kulay. so may kapartner talaga siyang belt? ^_-
@ronnie,
ah yeah,merong kasamang belt--chastity belt daw yun ei, hahahahaha-
ah yung blue ay pinalitan na --ginawang gray--kaya yung mga binigay sa mga movie participants ay gray na lahat--- hindi ko na nga alam kung saan napunta yung blue na short habit ko... gud day to you my frend--musta ang pista ng san juan? nakipagbasaan ka ba?....
Your site's downloading is faster now :) At least your pics won't be occupying too much space.

@ross
hey ross, thnks for the advice--:)
ei- i am now in SOLEMN VOWS... means, permanent and binding..that if i decide now to leave for good- i shall seek approval from the Pope...tawag dyan ay dispensation!....to dispense my vows and live an ordinary life outside...
dom lawrence - this is a nice blog! I hope that this will become a tool for the 'vocation seekers' to assist them (or be a catalyst for that matter) in considering the religious life.
I am getting a bit 'vaklempt' from looking at your pics. It is so touching.. reminding me of the days with the TOR.
God Speed Dom Lawrence. Pax et bonum!
@chuva,
hey my frend, first of all, i wanna really thank you for dropping by and for droppin a note for me as well, then on the one hand, i wanna thank you for your complements about my blog...( i hope really, that thru this blog, it may attract and sustain interest to the aspiring "monks" who are still out there, roaming around, lurking and looking for their sanctuary that would really fit them)... and lastly, i am pleased to have met another friend in you thru the blogworld...and hope to see you in person someday....
U.I.O.G.D. - (that in all things, God may be glorified)
