Have a check people, on this article...

Catholics who have signed up to a social networking site received a message from Pope Benedict in their inbox on Monday.

Xt3.com – which stands for Christ in the third millennium – was launched for World Youth Day in Australia in July. Since then, more than 35,000 people from 170 countries have signed up to the site.

Pope Benedict’s message asked for prayers for his visit to France this weekend and also praised the faith of young Catholics.

Robert Toone, project director of Xt3.com, said: “We are delighted and deeply honoured to receive the Pope’s message. His Holiness is displaying his usual readiness to use the latest technology in his desire to communicate with young people.”

Mr Toone said the site had started as the official social network for World Youth Day Sydney 2008 and that its ongoing focus was to “bring people together from all around the world who want to share their experiences, support each other and work together to build a better world”.

The site has all the usual functions of a social networking site such as profile pages, friends, photos, discussion groups and events.

But it also includes projects and prayer intentions and provides a worldwide diocesan structure with a homepage for each diocese.

In addition, it has a section where users can ask a priest questions on any subject.

“All importantly, the site is covered by 24/7 moderation to ensure that Xt3 remains a safer and more secure environment,” Mr Toone added.

The past month..

They say a picture paints a thousand words. Well, we have quite a few pictures from all of our activities the past month! =)

First up was a movie session on the Miracles of Jesus. This gathering, which was a last-minute substitution for our Campus Mass (we couldn't manage to get a priest since most of them were away or had prior commitments) .

Intensely watching the movie

The movie (or shall i call it documentary?) basically examined three miracles of Jesus - the multiplication of loaves and fishes, the walking on water, and the resurection of the widow's son - and attempted to replicate these miracles using modern day technology, to see if these happenings really were miracles or not!

The rest of the documentary showed the process of how these miracles were attempted to be re-enacted using modern day technology, and how all of them failed! This thus goes to show that miracles really are what they are - miracles, and that modern-day science cannot explain or justify what we believe in faith. =)

Ooo, a point to note: the whole documentary was done by a team of Christians! This was the main point which led to a debate on whether the documentary was biased or not. Opinions were raised as to whether they would have been more particular in trying to prove the miracles wrong or otherwise.

What do you think?

The following week was a talk on Miracles (yup, a follow-up) by a guest speaker, Mr Paul Sebastian from the church of St Joseph, Sentul.

Mr Paul gave us a living testimony about his life and how he had been touched by God in various ways through miracles, and how he himself had witnessed miracles occuring to himself, his family, and others around him. He also explained to us how to distinguish a miracle from one which is done by black magic, bomohs, or paranormalists.

being presented with a token of appreciation from css ucsi

during the Q & A session, it was revealed that our CSS member Steven had met Mr Paul over 15 years ago when Steven was a small boy - and had pulled his hair! the world is small indeed =)

thats not all we did this month! stay tuned for the next update - where we had our first ever Sporty Session!

Oo, and a very SELAMAT HARI RAYA to all our Muslim friends!

=D

The girl named Stephanie...

Alright, this will be a funny post...about things which sometimes happen to us when we meet new people...

We have to back-track to the CSS meeting before our First Birthday Party. It was a planning session for the gala celebration which will be held the following week. And, there were two new faces with us on that day. Both of them are Nursing Students who'd just check into UCSI.

I was busy doing some writing(can't remember what I wrote la...I just know that I was distracted at that time). Patricia, as we do with new members, asked each and everyone of us to introduce ourselves. The rounds came and went until the two new members. I heard one of them saying that : "I'm Kim and I'm doing nursing." Alright, my cerebral hemisphere registered that.

However, I missed the other girl's name. Hmmm..either I missed, or my brain registered her name as STEPHANIE. Thus, this girl's name has always been Stephanie.

The birthday party came and went, meetings came and went, I met her so many times; in block A, outside the library, in the library, between Block B and C, always greeting her with "Hi", or "Hello", or "How are you doing?". Don't know why, I'd never say, "Hi, STEPHANIE". But I'd know her name is Stephanie la...

Until, one day, well, about 5 days ago. I met Rebecca outside B101 and we started chatting about CSS meetings. (I've been unable to make it for the past few gatherings, so just wanted to find out what's going on there...) And Rebecca said, "You'd know CLARE, right?"

"Clare?" A name that sounds so familiar, on the cbox and everything, yet I don't think I've met her. There was this girl during the Orientation, a CSS member, which I haven't officially introduce myself yet. Could she be CLARE, I wonder... possibly, since she'd seem to know what was going on during the Orientation. No other new faces were in the CSS booth, all those I'd know their names : Byron, Sue, Tomi, Patricia, Stephanie...

"Nope, I don't know Clare. Maybe will meet her in the coming meeting. Which one is she, ah?"
"..."(Rebecca's futile description to describe Clare's appearance)
"Nope, don't think I've met her before lah..."

(I'd omitted the rest of the long conversation involving Nicholas, Ms. Pretti the lecturer etc.)

Stephanie Stephanie Stephanie. Until...a dinner in McD. I was filling my saucer with ketchup when Stephanie walked in. Then she went, "Eh, Rebecca said you don't know who I am..."
And I froze. In my head, 'what you mean don't know who you are? You're Steph, right?'

Then, I said, "Noo...I know who you are la...", turned around and walk away.
That was when I received WAHYU/epiphany/enlightenment/or my hypothalamus just snap back together again. OMG(gosh, not God, it'll be using God's name in vain).

'STEPHANIE' IS actually...."CLARE"....

...(speechless)


I'd been running around(literally) thinking that this girl's name, which is actually Clare, is STEPHANIE. FOR TWO WHOLE MONTHS. Gosh...

Haha, so, to Stephanie, I mean, Clare...hahaha....I do know you, just that your name was registered as Stephanie! Hahaha... no hard feelings, ok?

Moral of the story : Erm, it's better to just say "HI" rather than "Hi, Joel...", you know, just in case, his name is not really Joel but Noel and you buat malu in front of everyone...

Moral of the story #2 : Sometimes we think we know someone, until you find out that you've been walking around with the wrong name...

Moral of the story #3 : There is no Stephanie in CSS.......right?

Moral of the story #4 : Pay attention, pay attention, pay attention. Don't multitask(even for the girls...). See what happened??

Anyway, have a good laugh everyone!
Now I know who's Clare.
The question is, "Do you know who's Clare?"

p.s. I don't think I can be a successful author. (Not that i want to be an author la...) No suspence to the story, from the beginning, I'm sure my readers all know that STEPHANIE = CLARE. So darn obvious...

Paul.

Miracles...

The photo caught your attention, eh?
