I was not given the opportunity to blog this a year ago because of the Practice Teaching right after the Papal Visit is our Final Demo in a public school.
Andame kong reasons! Disclaimer pa more sa bawat post.
Months before the scheduled Papal Visit, I already ask my cousins from Manila that I want to go to the Concluding Mass. I actually want to be there days before the Mass but I have my classes and nobody will take over if I will be absent (Konsensya ko pa pag may napahamak sa mga studyante ko) What more interesting is, the Mayor even suspend the classes for us to watch the mass of the pope.
They agreed. The fact that 20 years ago is the last Papal Visit is enough reason to go to the mass and brave the possible 6 million crowd.
Good thing that we have a car during the mass. I can still remember the long queue of people lining up in LRT stations an a lot of passengers waiting for a taxi.
-All for one destination, the concluding mass.
Since majority of the roads near Luneta are closed, we parked the car near the LRT station of Carriedo. So Yes, from Carreido, We walked going to Luneta. It was not tiring as our fellow countrymen are also walking from one destination to Luneta. I think we are very lucky that we got a spot in that parking lot.
We brought the gray-thing that usually see in Luneta. I just can't believe the purpose of that gray-thing the entire journey.
