Angels Among Us (Part 2)


My 8 days vacation with friends was a realization of a much needed dream to finally leave work (temporarily) and just focus on smelling the flowers around me! For the past 3 years I know I've been working so hard.....that vacation truly rejuvenated me physically, emotionally and of course..spiritually. Thanks to Fr. Rikki, Iris, Ronan and Frat Gilbert who willingly shared those beautiful days with me. Our shared experiences was a refreshing change in my world.

Now that I am back home, I cannot help but really appreciate the special angels who made our trip an exceptional experience. These people provided us with quick service, support, attention to details, warm hospitality and great comfort!! WE had such a relaxing time at the Holy Name University SVD House with the SVD Fathers. Special mention goes to Fr. Ted (the ever articulate and smart rector of the community), Fr Andy (his charm and friendship is unquestionable!Thank you Father for the inspiring experience!Your gentle presence and friendship was a gift we will keep in our hearts for a lifetime!), FR, Kito (whose warmth and hospitality made our stay extra special! Thank you for the Bee Farm Experience!), Fr. Milo (and his scary stories!) and Fr. Boboy (with his serious but unexpectedly funny persona!). It is not often that you meet and make friends instantly--we did when we stayed at HNU. Their personal touches, all the little extras, advices and suggestions made our stay extraordinarily beautiful. All of them became our special angels! Our stay with them will become part of the unforgettable memories of beauty, friendship, tranquility, kindness and hospitality beyond expectations! Thank you for opening your home and hearts for us!



Our Cebu vacation of course will never be complete without the support and friendship of the San Carlos University Community. Fr. Jingjong (the vice provincial) became an amazing host and surely, we will never forget our extra pasta experience (with balls!) and the amazingly beautiful "busay". HIs willingness to make special arrangements were admirable. Thank you so much Fr, Jungjong!





Thank you to all of you! We had fantastic time with you all! We look forward to hosting you in Legazpi soon! WE shall never forget your hospitality and will sincerely treausure your friendship!
