a few good men

what started out as lunch with a wonderful teacher

turned out to be a series of wonderful conversations

with some of the most interesting people i know.

in school and a few hours before my flight,

i met Mr Eduardo Calasanz

who reminded me to laugh at the big picture

and how He works in most interesting ways

i met Fr Adolfo Dacanay

who shared basketball insider information

and proof that our team has its principles intact

i met Dr Jerry Respeto

who opened my mind to the idea of taking

a masters in anything while away, and theater insider information too

i met Sedfrey Santiago, Esq.

who dislikes "Atty" and reminded me of

some obligations of an entrepreneur

some were brief, some lengthy

and i wish to have spoken with Sir Bobby Guevara

and Sir Leland dela Cruz and Sir Mark Lawrence Cruz

and Dean Rudy Ang and Sir Neric Acosta

but i didn't expect a string of conversations,

was looking forward to only one.

pabaon means so many things to so many Ateneans.

this string is one of the many i'll bitbit
