How does it feel to have a friend who’s a priest?
Heavenly.
The shoelaces invaded San Jose seminary and Fr Nono graciously allowed the invasion. He prepared a sumptuous meal for us --- inihaw na isda, seaweeds, chicken curry, mixed veggies with crabmeat, is this a feast or what?
Then he ushered us to their entertainment room, we had videoke all to ourselves and up to sawa -- with popcorn and yes, red wine on the side (or is it the other way around?) Anyway, as if lunch was not enough, Fr Nono sent in another round of meal --- bihon guisado, cassava cake, and cuchinta.
Ok, we were starved. We asked Fr Nono when he’s going to Naga and he asked,
“Why? Are you going to treat me out?”
“No, father, so we know when to hide from you, paano ba naming mapapantayan ang lahat ng ito?”
With a smile and with a sigh.
