Zion's Post in PinoyExchange.com

*Click the photo to enlarge

I've just come across this post from PinoyExchange.com and noticed that our choir, Ars Cantica Ensemble, was mentioned. It just feels good to read something like this coming from somebody who we really don't know. Whoever "zion" is, thanks a lot! :)

IRON MAN Rocks!!!




I never liked any other superhero besides Superman.
I never knew who Iron Man was.
However, when I learned that Robert Downey, Jr. was chosen to play the role of Iron Man, I got so excited (even if I was not yet sure how that superhero looked like)! I have been a big fan of him since I watched him in "Chances Are" and "Heart and Souls". One day, when I saw a photo of Iron Man, I was like: "Ugh! How can I see his face?" Then, I started to doubt if I would be able to like the movie. Besides, Iron Man was not a familiar character for me.

Jonathan and I watched Iron Man on its first day of showing (April 30). I was really looking forward to see Robert Downey, Jr. and not the Iron Man. But, to my surprise, after watching it, I'd say that the movie met my expectations! It's not perfect but it was great! Story-wise, it's much better than Transformers. RDJ's acting is flawless and the production is simply amazing! The robot is gorgeous, too! I honestly would want to watch it all over again.

If you haven't seen this film yet, go out and watch it now. It's worth it! :)

"He Loved Me" by Ars Cantica Ensemble

Ars Cantica Ensemble singing (one of my favorite Mass songs) "He Loved Me" during Communion on Sunday Mass (April 6) at the EDSA Shrine.

Ars Cantica Ensemble is a Church-based choir serving at Greenbelt Chapel, Our Lady of EDSA Shrine, Rockwell Chapel, and Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital Chapel.

The Demise Of Honesty and Decency In Our Society plus The Rise of Gullability & Recalcitrance

I do not need attention.
I do not need recognition.

I do not need sweet conversation.
I do not need affection.

I do not need an apology.
I do not need promises.

I DO NEED, HOWEVER, SINCERITY.

Say what you mean and mean what you say.
If you can’t be generous with your words, at least be HONEST: even if others do not, even if others cannot, and even if others will not.

ALWAYS BEAR IN MIND "THE GOLDEN RULE".
Do I still need to elaborate? Nah!

A Chock-Full Easter with Ars Cantica Ensemble

We had a great time celebrating Easter Sunday singing in three different Masses (Discovery Suites, EDSA Shrine, and Rockwell Chapel). Plus, our super missed "kapatid", Lhance made a surprise visit! Indeed, the Christ is risen!
