It's nice to be back from the vacation that we've really wished to have.
The 'reunion' as Fra. Angelo-Kuya Boyet has pointed is really a success. Its
a good start for the graduates to to have at least once in a while refute
from their daily works. Let us thank the organizers, Fra. Angelo, John
Nathan, and Fr. Ido for their selfless commitment. Let us also thank
ourselves for having participated in this event as we are really part of the
family, forever.

We miss Joy who informed us that she cannot make it because she will flew
back to Beijing. But she'll really decided to come. Its a welcome for Dothy
who attended with her husband Rhem and their two kids. Who can miss Ate
Vilmarie after her long absence. The two days are really full of surprises,
fun and upliftment.

For those who missed the event, here's what happened: sorry madaldal ako
ngayon, brownout dito sa office, kaya wala me work heheheheehehe, sira pa
keyboard ko ........ sana palaging brownout.....

- kuya pando, haydee and me went ahead of the group last thrusday night.
advance party kuno. thanks to fr. pando for the accommodation as we spent
the whole day of friday relaxing, eating and sleeping. Much needed rest.

- the true advance party, headed by lalie arrived at 10pm of friday.

- saturday morning was spent for the market, the preparation and others
preferred to swim and relax. although there was a typhoon, you cannot refuse
the invitation of the waves.

- at around 6pm, we proceeded to Buutong's chapel for the mass. Syempre, the
main celebrant c fr. ido assisted by the two franciscans. and the choir was
headed by adel. symepre, heavenly ang kanta. request nga ng mga tiga
butong, sana daw linggo linggo nandun daw tau. mahal na bayad, d ba?

- saturday evening was the highlight of the event. fra angelo headed the
evening prayer. it's an open forum of looking back of our lives in Adamson
and expectations.

- here's the fact why we came up with these:

- at present, there are only active members of the CoM in Adamson.
Shocking talaga, as we never encountered these membership problem before.
- the present set up, the office mixing up with the Campus Ministry, is
also a factor that should be considered why formation of the younger group is
not that effective.
- ms. nimuan is getting old, nggeeekkk, tama ba yun .... let's accept
it... and maybe she's not that eager to conduct training as what we've
experienced before. halos lingo lingo may instruction tau or kung may
pagkakataon syang magsalita, may instruction.

- to resolve these, there are three things that come up as what we really
need to help the organization: apostolate, formation and retreat.

- apostolate will be headed by adel. formation will be headed by fra. angelo
and retreat by fr. ido. as a commitment, the group was ask to chose to where
they should belong. i don't have the list, but i think, fra. angelo has. he
can refresh us. naku .... when kaya?

- then, it rain na... and it's already 1am .. at least we have
resolutions ... kung meron pang dagdag, paki post na lang ... inaantaok na kc
ako that time... at may tinimpla kami ni robert ... hehehehe ...

- after that, we played 'tong-its'. others build their tents and rested ....

- next day, were spent at the beach .... sarap buhay ....

- mark and his wife, naku lagot, nakalimutan ko pangalan, were the first to
leave.

- at around 4pm, we also packed up and bid goodbye ....

For those who want to add something from the above, please do so as this is
only what i can recall....

Pictures will be posted on Thursday sana. Haydee is responsible for
developing. Thanks to Ruel U. who acted as the official photographer.

Let's meet tomorrow at the Chaplain's ayaw talaga ng exclamation mark ko ...
cra keyboard ko ..... Fr. Pando will be there eclamation mark uli ....

For other suggestions, please post it ...... cge na ....

Thanks again to all... let's join hands .....

To Jesus Through Mary,

Ronald C. Remolano
