Under the Clouds and the Rain

It’s a Beautiful day in the History of my Town, my Church, and my Country … and I’m not looking for something dumb to do.. but some fun thing to do on this day under the Clouds and the Rain!

The Centennial Bells

The Centennial Bells and it’s clock was inaugurated this morning, in spite of the rain but the show must go on. Notice the clock’s hands seem like a smiling face on top. this is for the 100 years anniversary of the Archdiocese of Zamboanga.

The Centennial Bells Names

• Spiritu Santo (Top)
• Jesus Cristo (Middle)
• Padre Nuestro (Bottom)

The Metropolitan Cathedral Immaculate Conception

 at the same time the Pentecost Sunday was celebrated as part of the Easter Sundays of the Roman Catholic Church .. I took this one after the mass was ended and notice to see the church goers descending from the church with their umbrellas .. heheheh forgot to tell you it was raining still.

Flower Vendors

 it is customary for the church goers to buy some bunches of flowers, especially the women for them to adorn their altars (typically a Roman Catholic homes also have their altars in the house). Business is business for the vendors no matter wht will be the weather.

June 12, 2011 Independence Day Theme

The Rizal Monument and the City Hall

after my church activity I hurried to the town plaza to take some pictures on what had happened there, badly I was late in the ceremony plus the rain. but at least I got these pictures with disturbances from the walking public to block my view. The Flag still flies with glory on a rainy Independence Day.

Wreaths of flowers are offered to the Rizal Monument, heheheeh usually by the city officials and guests .. as always . heheh. A monument of Rizal is erected in everyone town here in the Philippines because he is our National Hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal.

this is my sunday. Three Celebrations in one day under the clouds and the rain!

Cold cold hot …

It’s sunday again and I’m out just to unwind from a long week of work and tasks .. so just like the ordinary commoners like me, what else I will do when it’s sunday? I went to the Cathedral to attend a mass.

Main Church

but since I arrived in the church ahead of time so, I took some time taking  pictures that I might use and my eye catched the attention to this tower, actually it’s a centennial tower that was erected to commemorate 100 years of the Archdiocese of Zamboanga.

funny thing happens that the bells rang earlier than it should be but I was told that it is the time right to ring the reason it looks like to be late because the priest was late, heheeheh …

Centennial Tower

then the mass started as it is, but my friend don’t understand Chavacano because the mass was celebrated using the local dialect, but it’s nice to attend because you can really feel the hispanic environment of the place.

then the bells rang again indicating that the mass is ended, but as i said we are late for about five minutes. that is why we have to be punctual especially if the tower bells are synchronized with the schedule of the masses that to be celebrated ,, hehehe but we’re not perfect, what is important is that the mass is ended and served well.

after that we went to paseo del mar to unwind and to have some nicks (nicker bucker) and some tempuras while the still warm sunset in our back. heheheh

Nicks

since we can’t please everyone you can’t avoid people will gonna stare at you without reasons, trying to make you their laughing stuff, but I won’t go down to their level .. and I’m a good boy it’s not my nature to stand front and reciprocate to their lowness.

Tempura

in the first place we didn’t went their for them but to enjoy our sunday afternoon. but next time never do that to us..

but in general it was a bonding sunday with my friends and to see new places around.
