Reverend

I can clearly remember the day when Kuya Lovell broke the news. It was one afternoon sometime in June 2004, I was in the sala watching TV when he handed me an envelope. I opened it and it was something unfamiliar to me, but I clearly understood what it says -- HE WAS ENTERING THE SEMINARY. I was just crying after reading the letter maybe because the fear of not having him around the house makes a lot of difference. Mahirap mang aminin, pero nakakamiss din.

Fast forward to this day, my older brother is officially a REVEREND.

I swear I cried when I saw him walking towards the altar with my mom. It was too emotional because I was really really ecstatic and proud to have a brother like him. Though at times very masungit and strict, he really has a fun side and I love him for that.

It must have been the most glorious moment of my Kuya's existence and of course, I have to give it to him. I can say that he's really happy with where he is right now. This is what he wanted all his life. Though it might be better if he married somebody but I can't see it any other way.

 Look how happy he is? :)

With the "aspiring" Reverends. :)

With the whole Dominican Community.

At the end of the Ordination, we couldn't barely get close with Kuya. A lot of people wanted to get hold of him, to give him gifts, envelopes and what not and to congratulate him. He was the superstar that time. :)

With Kuya Enzo :) He's such a cutie!

And of course, I wouldn't pass this chance of having my picture taken with my main man!

Once again, Congratulations, REVEREND PAUL LOVELL JAVIER

Sincerely,

The proud sister. :))
