When Friday the 13th comes, superstitions abound. They say the number 13 is malas. Some also regard Friday as an unlucky day. So 13 and a Friday is double malas. Some martime folks believe Friday is an unlucky day to set sail. So is the tale of the British government wanting to dispell this long-time maritime superstition, commissioned a special ship and named it H.M.S. Friday, selected her crew on a Friday, launched her on a Friday, and even hired a certain Jim Friday to be her captain. They set her maiden voyage on a Friday... and it was never heard of again.
But last Friday the 13th was Buayang Bato's 2nd Anniversary, coinciding with RFM's 48th Anniversary. It was gracious for RFM to have a simple celebration of its anniversary at BB. RFM had a short program, giving service awards to employees who were with the company for 25 and 30 years! With its heart, its kindness and its work at BB and GK, no wonder some people stay with the company that long. Even the city major, Boyet Gonzales, was there to show his support for BB. This man really has a heart for GK.
29AD was there for the music. And it was a blast! From disco, to Praise songs, it was just... awesome! And just how awesome it was? We didn't realize that we were playing for over an hour and a half straight!
Unlike H.M.S. Friday, it looks like it's smooth sailing and full-speed ahead for BB!
Because with God, there's no place for superstitions. There is no malas. As Psalm 23 said, The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing that I lack.... surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Praise God!
