So everything has its end, they say.  Here’s the last of our refreshing trip in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro.   Since it’s a Sunday, we attended a church service of Church of Christ. Age’s family attends this church.  Age even grew up here.  Kids church baby. During that warm morning service, we sang gospel songs with the small congregation.

PW, PW, PW, PW and PW (wink*wink)

In Age’s church, it was customary for visitors to present a song for the members.  Age already “warned” us about this beforehand but we didn’t take it seriously.  We just partly believed — until we were called by one of the elders that morning.  We were hesistant but we thought, let’s just do it (malakas ang loob, syempre andun si Anne). Since the young music team knows the song Mighty to Save, we chose it.  After a brief introduction (more of a disclaimer) and after greeting the fathers a Happy Fathers’ Day (I got teary-eyed), we stepped in front and sang away.  Praise and worship.  For you, the Father of all.

On the spot, pasensiya. But thanks to everyone, thanks music team!

After our last fab fab meal in their house, we hoarded pasalubongs and stormed the airport.

Manila-bound

I was waiting for Tita Lety because I wanted to hug her and say my goodbyes but she had left already.

Thank you Tita Lety and Tito Carling!

And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, the candidates for Bb. San Husi, Uksedintal Menduru.  All are finalists to the Bb. Pilipinas pageant to be held at the University of the Philippines in Quezon City (Hehe).

By the way, we (well at least, I) gained 2 kilos during this vacation!

Great vacation! Thank you so much Ge!

Coming back to the Manila became exciting.  I was looking forward to everything that I missed — yes, even work.

Ka goes solo again.  Hmmmm… bakit kaya?

In this trip, I was sitting by the window so I had a good view.

These are the works of your hands, oh Lord

Heaven’s better

Bye, Mindoro (there’s the White Island)

Here’s a closer look.  (I’ll come back for you.)

Since we rode a smaller plane, the trip took longer.  The sun was setting when we arrived in Manila.  We had dinner at the NAIA, took a cab and flew to Quezon City.  This vacation IS awesome.  Thank you our dear friend, Age.  Thank you Jesus!  Praises to the King!
