a. Pagudpod, Ilocos Norte - i do not like going to the beach - probably because of my insecurities - but i super love pagudpod. it's one of the best places where you can be what you are. quiet and solemn with just the waves and the winds to talk to.
b. Madrid, Spain - madrid is one unique place. a person never been to this place would say that possible reason is that their culture is different. but for me, it's the ambiance. it's beautiful. dazzling. with - of course - a twist of any developed countries have - (can't reveal).
c. Toledo, Spain - toledo reminds me so much of two places - san francisco because of it's hills and san jose because of it's unique air. it's like i am back to medieval times. the buildings are old but the people will give you an idea that you are in @ 2011. it's hills are so hard to resist. awesome.
d. Avila, Spain - this is another place with a medieval setting. what makes this so unique for me? the walls, the gates and the architecture. simply breathtaking. its like intramuros on the 99th power. lol!
e. Vigan, Ilocos Sur - vigan simply captured me. that's it. it's beautiful and cool.
5 best new acquaintance for 2011:
a. chip allen - he's not just a source of laughter but powerhouse of words that you'll admire. he's one of the managers that you can feel his sincerity. he's not just concerned with the project but to the people most especially.
b. alfonso and esther - their dedication to accomodate people during JMJ is awesome. we stayed in their house for a couple of days and stayin' in madrid would have been boring if i did not met them. i simply love this couple.
c. claro and alena ruiz - couple who's opened my world for a vast universe outside my world. lol! i am self-proclaimed anti-social. i do not mingle with other people that easily but this couple made me so much comfortable during JMJ.
d. dante endrano - if i will have someone who i can call as buddy during JMJ, it would have been dante. he's so nice and we almost think of the same way. lol! he's cool yet so simple.
e. father gilbert - he's a new priest on my sight. he's pretty busy with his schedules but he makes sure that we have a saturday eucharist. and with these eucharists, i better understand where is he coming. he's really one of the few good ones.
5 best buddies i have for 2011:
a. albert and dan - my buddies in terms of movie watching. we eat. we laugh. we watch. we share. we listen. it is really nice to have some peeps who can understand you as a guy. lol!

c. father gilbert - i thought he's going to be the last guy that will be on this list for 2011 - but he made it! i love his witty antics, his thoughts and his humility. people might think differently but i am see a future in this priest.
