Pilipinas Kong Mahal

August 17, 2010 By Tammy Leave a Comment

February 14, 2010 Every Valentine’s day, I receive emails and text messages about romance and love. My favorite has always been the quote of Pedro Arrupe, SJ: Fall in love, stay in love and it will decide everything. (We now know that this is the quote of Fr. Joseph P. Whelan, SJ) We are told to […]

Friendship and YTRiP

January 15, 2009 By Tammy 1 Comment

Last night I was able to meet up with a good friend (Hi Clare!). And as always, it was good. Coffee/Hot Chocolate and a hearty breakfast at the odd-hour of 9pm at Bo’s Katipunan. A familiar, homey area to set the tone of our life-updates. There are some friendships that are formed over years of […]

The Sacrament of Waiting [Fr. James Donelan, S.J.]

August 9, 2008 By Tammy Leave a Comment

I first read this on Jessica’s multiply a few weeks ago. I’d go back every so often to read it again (and again) – perhaps because I find comfort in the thought that there is value in waiting. Waiting is not as passive as I thought. The value of waiting is just like the value […]

Fwd: On the Meaning of an Ateneo Education

June 2, 2008 By Tammy Leave a Comment

So I received this forwarded message the other day from the batch 2004 yahoogroups. I immediately thought of Franke, my cousin. She is an incredibly brilliant young woman who had the same opportunity. She could very well have gotten into an excellent university in the United States and develop skills in whatever it is she […]

Bayani Challenge: Mahirap Daw.

May 8, 2008 By Tammy 1 Comment

Most young people are up for any challenge. Most young people want to prove it to their peers, to themselves and to the world that they Can – regardless of what it is, most young people will take on a challenge and naively (or idealistically) say – Bring it On. And that’s what we did. […]

Para Mapukaw daw ang Damdamin

February 23, 2008 By Tammy Leave a Comment

Next Saturday, Donna, PJ, Rica and several other alumni are going to Sitio Yangka [Tarlac] to spend the weekend at the Holy Spirit Aeta Mission. I am pretty sure this will be a totally different experience from my immersion in college. We had our briefing session this morning for the immersion. YAY! We were told […]

Brave Hearts.

February 16, 2008 By Tammy 1 Comment

So Pedro Arrupe tells us to fall in love. And we all do. We fall in love – and as he says – it influences everything that we do. And because it’s such a wonderful, beautiful thing – we celebrate it on the 14th of February. 🙂 The love he speaks of need not be […]

HOMILY FOR THE FEAST OF ST. IGNATIUS

August 5, 2005 By Tammy Leave a Comment

Three parts to this feast day homily: first, a word about our present reality; secondly, some light from our Gospel reading; finally, some words about our founder and father, Ignatius of Loyola. First, our reality. Let me begin by sharing with you two sets of somewhat depressing statistics. First, this past year, the four provincial […]
