I was applying for a scholarship in one of the universities in Italy, yes Italy.
(though I prefer France better, but anywhere in Europe will do! :))
I went through the phone interview as the last step last Friday.
And today I received the news.
It has both good and bad news.
The good news is that I am eligible for the scholarship.
The bad news is that it's only amounted 20% of the tuition fee.
Euro 18,000 - 20%, this means it only saves me Euro 3,600. And I still have 14,400 to pay for, excluding the living cost etc...
I am not meant to study again.. :(

40 years in Priesthood
Today marks the celebration of 40 years Father Sinnema serves as a Pastor. In addition to memorize the feeling and memory that he felt 40 years ago, he requested the Church choir to sing some Latin songs.. Agnus Dei etc..
Wow man, I cried during the mass. And this reassures me that my Faith is more than anything one can imagine. The Holy mass, especially with Latin version is really a Grandeur mass. It is so splendid and the echo of the liturgical music with the choir simply completes the whole mass process.
I could feel what Pastor felt 40 years ago..
Some people often say that they're not growing in the Catholic church, or even the Catholic is boring, the mass that is monotone etc.. But if you actually feel what I have felt all these 4 years, Catholic is simply awesome! From it's origin, history, traditions, and experience, this totally made up the reason of being a Catholic itself.
Who says Catholic is just being quiet during the mass, follow the order of the mass, and you receive the communion, NO. It is more than that, you want to praise and worship God, you go for it. Lift up your hands to the Lord, sing out loud to Him, praise Him with all your might.. Even this is written in the Bible. And also, the sacrament of reconciliation that makes your life filled of joy for all your sins have been forgiven through it.
