"Father, did you have girlfriends?"
"Oh, I had many, anak," wika ng pari habang pinipiilang tumawa. "You see, before I entered the Society, matinik tayo sa mga babae sa campus. My grades were high. I was winning awards for my literary works. And, I was a ladies' man. I was having the time of my life. I was on cloud nine. I was vain. Mayabang din ako noon. Kapag nagtatagumpay ka sa lahat ng gusto mong gawin, lolobo talaga ang ulo mo."
"Batchmate niyo raw po si Father Jake"
"One year ahead ako kay Jeck sa college. Pero, sabay kaming pumasok sa candidacy. Sabay rin kaming naging Brothers. Batchmate ko sa college 'yung Arsobispo natin, si Cardinal Sam. Ang bilis nga niya nakaakyat. Napakatalino ng taong 'yan."
"Ano po ba 'yung vocation story niyo?"
"It's a very long story. Punta ka na lang sa Arvisu sa Monday. Hahaha. But to keep the very long story short, I was alone in the chapel when I suddenly found myself walking towards the altar. I kissed the image of Our Lady, I just knelt in front of her image and said, 'I will serve your Son's church.' Malabo. Lahat ng pag-ibig, malabo."
