The Witch of Redempt

There is this woman who works at the Redemptorist Church. She wants to give people hell. My mom has been avoiding making arrangements with her simply because this hag takes pleasure in making things, including the lives of all Redemptorist's clients, hard. But on that HATEful day last Wednesday, our driver went to the Church office while she was on duty. He gave her some docs for our wedding and asked for an Acknowledgment receipt. She yelled at him, asking him why we keep on asking for ARs. "Di mo mosalig nako??", she said. Our beloved and loyal driver, Yaul (bless his manners) with all of his patience and common sense, told her that it's "part of your job..." and that it's "protocol." (Hahahah!! Naahat ug ininglis!) He told her not to take it personally and that he's just the messenger and that because the documents are all valuable and important, an AR should be issued as confirmation of receipt. Anyway, she gives him an ever harder time by telling him that we should have a letter of permission from our parish priest that the bride is going to marry at the Redemp Church. So Yaul had to drive all the way to the Basak Fatima Parish from Redemp (!!!!!!!) to obtain this letter only to learn that this should only be forwarded after the priest has had a one-on-one with us on the 26th. SAMOKA!!!

My dad wanted to pull out from the church but Mommy, Tisha and I decided to just deal with this other girl, Rochelle, instead of the ugly shrew to avoid any conflict. I hope there will be no annoying glitches next time or somebody will really have to pay.

To all those who want to get married at the Redemptorist Church in Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines, please avoid dealing with a certain woman whose name starts with an A and ends with an E. But phonetically a T.
