Freya's Day, 30 November 2012 - 6:51 a.m. Little JoysLast Friday, I was praying the rosary while waiting for Andy and Louis at Holland Village.
Suddenly, a Filipina lady appeared by my side, asking something... I immediately assumed that she was trying to sell me something from her drinks stall.
"It's ok, I'm just waiting for my friends!" I said loudly over the sound of the tropical thunderstorm battering the building.
I only heard her the third time she asked: "Are you Filipina?"
"No, I'm Singaporean," I smiled. She smiled back and left.
Thinking about it, I realised that she must be Catholic!
I walked over to the drinks stall, where she was in conversation with her Filipino fellow stall-holder.
"Hallo! Are you Catholic?" I inquired.
"Yes! He is, too," she said, happily accepting the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate miraculous medal card I gave her.
"Which church do you go to?"
"Novena, and sometimes the one at Commonwealth."
"Oh, Blessed Sacrament!"
I JUST LOOOVE how we practising Catholics can spot each other by our sacramentals! Like the time I was interning at a law firm and an Indian secretary noticed my saint bracelet while we were in the lift. EPIC INSTANT FRIENDS.
Mum exclaimed over the saliva, but there was none.
The second kiss was salivary, though! =p
I couldn't reach Ethan's little hand, so I kissed my right hand and touched it to his.
He did the same thing to my left hand!
Ah little nephew-godson... you are such a joy!
