I did a little city tour...
After 5 days, I flew to Cagayan de Oro City...
I also had some yoga sessions with the Company of Mary Sisters at their Retreat House in Macasandig with Maddy Ravago and not in the picture a lunch date with Nathalie Igot and dinner with Roena Ibay-Bince and her lovely daughter, Bianca. I also went twice to D'Saint (a piano bar) with Alex Suan, Kid and Lizette Paler and days later with Noel and Jackie Sereño. A drinking session with my former student, Julius Dagoc, Chris Amata and a new found friend Charles Deiparine and tea time with Prof. Quivido Origines and Atty. Abraham Olegario.. Aside from meeting people, everyday was busy volunteering for the Holy Week Triddum of Xavier Univeristy Chapel and UCCP-Lapasan Church. It was really a busy vacation. |
the highlight was the Easter Vigil at Xavier U. Chapel where my Responsorial Psalms are still being sung until now (20yrs?). The final song was our favorite "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's Messiah.
