Big Brother

We are inside "kuya's bahay" so to speak.

Living in the seminary changed my life. Do you know how it is inside a seminary?

Let me put it this way. If you are watching Big Brother....like the Pinoy Big Brother...with all the rules but removing the controversies and other things in the Big Brother's house.:)

The seminary is like any other school. The only difference is that we are in one place. Inside our parents are not around to watch over us rather there are priest formators, teachers, and our big brothers so to speak.

We are group into twelve, named after the twelve apostles. Each group is compose of seniors, juniors, sophomore and freshmen. Freshmen are assigned to Seniors and we call them....guess what...Big brother.

They look after us making sure that we are not doing things that are against the rules. As I qoute our rector...Rules are like boxes, they keep you from harm so keep the rules and the rules will keep you." But besides that they are there to guide us in our personal journey to Christian life and if ever we are really called to the priesthood.

After some time I myself became Big brother. Its a task without any price but the reward is knowing that one can shape someone to be the best person that they can be.
