About ready to leave the house to head towards UP and my appointment with the UP Chapel priests who will do a pray over for the event till morning. A few days back, I have told them about out battle against discrimination and that I was going to give a speech to the people who were affected and thousands if not millions more on TV, Newspapers and Radio. So I geared up, got all the papers I printed, got my helmet and went out.

As I stepped out and looked at the sky, I wished that it stayed dry all throughout.

9:00 pm

I got to the chapel and there were three priests waiting for me. They asked me to bring my stuff into a small prayer room where there was some coffee, sandwiches and cookies on the side. They served me coffee for what it seems is going to be one of my longest nights ever. While I was drinking, the priests asked about the event and what we were all fighting for. So I explained everything. While I was talking to them about it, I notice the two priests holding their scapulars and their rosaries and was already praying silently as I was talking to the third priest about what we are fighting for.

The conversation went on through the night as we exchanged thoughts and ideas about the issue.
