69

Do you like 69?

Apparently I do after attending the 69th Annual Session of the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite in the Philippines.

Witnessing the exemplification of conferrals of the 4th to 30th degrees in its full form and grandeur certainly gave me a more profound appreciation of the Scottish Rite and its symbolism.


I like the 69th.

It  gave me an excuse to taste test The Aristrocrat's Adobo Flying Saucer and chicken barbecue which I missed during the Supreme Session.

The solemn reception of dignified men in purple caps, the investiture of Kuya Carding's Blue Cap, and our Knight Commanders of the Court of Honor finally getting their long-delayed White Caps were proud moments for me.   




The 69th was awesome.

Beer and brandy flowed in abundance while across the street, ladies dressed to the nines pause  to check on their smart phones as a nearby couple in Table 6 indulged in a torrid public display of affection.

It was indeed a pleasure to see our new KCCHs wearing their newly conferred red caps.


But of ocurse, there was foreplay before the 69th.

And that was two happy days in the bike trail, reconnecting with old friends from PRRM, and reshooting the Regal Parish and National Shrine of St. Michael and the Archangels between work-related meetings.
