New Pope Benedict XVI
So I was just stepping out from Money Point (a second-hand shop which sells pretty neat stuff for cheap prices hehe) when my Kojek called and said: "The smoke that's coming out from the Sistine Chapel is white!!!"
I thought he was just kidding around, but when I realized he was dead-serious, I dashed back home (thank God it was only 3 minutes walk away), took the steps two at a time and turned the TV on. It was for real!
The new Pope has been elected.
When I got home, they were still preparing to announce the name. I just sat there all nervous and excited. When Cardinal Jorge Arturo Medina Estevez of Chile announced that name, there was a mix of happy and disappointed feeling which I can't quite explain. And when the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger stepped out onto the balcony as Benedict XVI for the first time, I felt the shivers and cried.
May God always be with him and guide him to run his office well.
