She's one of the weird characters in my life, but I find her strangely adorable. :) The other day, she came for a visit and zealot that she is, she - again - went on and on about God. At one point, I asked her about her thoughts on priests being accused of pedophilia and sodomy. It was fun to see her sputter angrily at me. It was worth ruffling her feathers. Erbe scolded me though. :)
I think I told you before how Nana Delia wallpapered her house with pictures of Jesus and Mary. She has even wrapped her furnitures with pictures of Jesus and Mary that she torn from magazines, books or newspapers. She's that serious about her faith. Anyway, she has also became a controversial figure in Church every Sunday in our barrio in Cabusao.
Apparently, she tends to shout prayers, responses and songs. So, when the priest says, "Mapa-saindo ang Kagurangnan."
She'd be shouting, with her arms outstretched before her, "Mapa-saimo man!"
Finally, the priest stood up for the Gospel. It was then that she noticed that people were a bit excited about something. Finally, it happened. The priest addressed the congregation - and every time, he'd say something, the congregation would craned their neck towards the back, trying to find the woman shouting the responses at the back., arms outstretched before her. People were snickering. Some were openly giggling.
Oh, yes, you know exactly who it was.
Mommy, however, was not quite sure. she thought, "Garo si Nana Delia ito. Pero maano man daw ito digdi?" Then as expected the priest said, "Mapasaindo ang Kagurangnan". On cue, the woman shouted, "Asin mapasaimo man, kagurangnan ko!!!"
This went on and on during the entire mass. Until finally, people queued up for the communion. After receiving communion, Mommy turned and behold, she saw the culprit - Nana Delia, standing in line, with all her plastic bags, waiting for her turn. :)
