Peter hugged the girl we met at the corridor. That’s weird. I’ve never seen him touchy-feely with other girls before. So anyway, after the usual how-are-yous, he hugs her again, all the while never acknowledging my presence.

Even weirder was that I’ve never seen such a long hall before. Peter and I were both getting restless and didn’t see any point pursuing what might be at the end of the hall so I decided to call it quits and went home.

I woke up after a few hours to the sound of an organ playing. Everything was so bright and I wondered why my bedroom looked so different. I went outside to check where the music might be coming from and to my surprise, it was coming from the vast structure of a stone cathedral right across my house. Well, I know, it really isn’t surprising to hear organ music sifting out of a church, but since when did I have a mammoth-sized cathedral for a neighbor?

I stared in awe while drinking the beautiful sound of the choir and organ. Ahhh. I need to pee…

Hey, I didn’t know Frank has a sister! Oh well. And she’s getting married! So anyway, the night before the wedding, Frank saw her in his kitchen devouring all the food she could get her hands on. Have you guys seen Spirited Away? You know the part where mom and dad turned into pigs for eating too much stuff in the restaurant? In a way, she ate like that, and although she didn’t morph into a pig, Frank had the initial thought of his sister turning into one.

Turned out that the groom-to-be was really worried about her size. He felt that his family won’t accept her for how she looked like. And so in the weeks before the wedding, he decided to starve her by banning her to eat anything as long as they are together. Poor girl!

I don’t make sense, do I? Well, that’s because my dreams don’t.

She is popular. I could confidently say that 95 percent of the student
population of that SDA campus know her (The unknowing 5 percent being
the preschoolers and kids from the elementary and highschool). Her
popularity is not based on her looks nor her wealth but because she is
radical. Working under her supervision for two years, it was
interesting to witness how radical she could be in a supposedly
Adventist environment.

People
talk about her and marvel at her guts in sharing her faith in an
"irritating" sort of way. I’ve heard stories of her banning karaoke in
social functions (and karaoke being the top 5 entertainers in a social
function, Pinoy style), banning the non-Adventist construction workers
to smoke on and off duty (as long as they were on Adventist ground),
visiting the same workers in their make-shift houses in the campus and
checking to see if they are not desecrating the Sabbath, banning
radio–pop or classical mostly on class trips and engages the students
to sing hymns instead all the way to Manila, refusing to eat out on
those class trips (eating out being one of the major highlights on
those trips) and bringing a big pot of bean paste and wheat bread
instead on the van, banning the official campus choir to sing in church
because their uniforms were too revealing, discouraging make-up
(lipstick, eyeliners, lip gloss–you name it), catering faculty
meetings with raw, tasteless food, and discouraging the other faculty
members to eat what they brought for lunch because hers were so much
healthier, discouraging opera songs in the voice majors’ repertoire…
and the list could go on and on and on.

Truth be told, I am
one of those people who would make snide comments of how radical she
is. My daily conversations with people of the same "beliefs" would
often find her ‘antics’ entertaining or irritating, depending on the
occasion if we were directly affected or not. She was an icon, and we
would have private nicknames for her, or quote her ironically on more
than one occasion.

Interesting how I suddenly have vivid images
of those times while reading a passage from EG White’s Great
Controversy p. 46, "Their [early Christians] blameless deportment and
unswerving faith were a continual reproof that disturbed the sinner’s
peace…they were a terror to evildoers wherever their character and
doctrines were known. They were hated by the wicked…It was for the
same reason that the Jews rejected and crucified the Saviour—because
the purity and holiness of His character was a constant rebuke to their
selfishness and corruption."

Whoops, I can hear myself quoting Judas Iscariot, "Is it I, Lord???"

I
have actively discussed her ‘faith-sharing’ style with many of my close
friends, and often, we would come to the same conclusion
(friends—correct me tho, if I’m wrong), that there was nothing wrong
with her beliefs, that she is highly commendable for doing what is
right, but that her ways of sharing it is a turn-off, especially to
those who might still be considered ‘weak’ in the faith, that instead
of leading them to Christ they come to view it in a legalistic manner,
that she insists on her way of doing it regardless of how it might hurt
feelings.

But who am I to judge? Who am I to underestimate the
powers of the Holy Spirit to work on someone’s heart? Aren’t we all
commissioned to spread the gospel? Besides, have I made any conscious
effort at all to share and verbalize it? Or, am I satisfied with just
using my musical talents and let the Holy Spirit do the rest of the job?

Initially, I wanted to post the blog here. But as we all know, Friendster is fast becoming outdated that it’s almost useless to put most of my blog entries here.
