Blessing of Our Place @ Highlands

We took advantage of the long weekend last week (August 29-31, 2009) to have our place at Tagaytay Highlands blessed. Pia woke up early to prepare some food and the house for the blessing.
The Priest arrived past 12 noon for the blessing. In his homily, he emphasized the significance of a house blessing -- which is, the welcoming of Jesus Christ as part and center of our home and of our family life rather than casting out evil spirits.
We were joined by Jem and Madz and their partners, my officemates; DJ, Mary, Vangie and Jo Altura, my friends from my previous employer; Maxime, classmate of Patrese; and Brother Wig and Sister Rose, and shared lechon kawali, shrimps, fried chicken, beef kaldereta, pansit, grilled talakitok, vegetable laing, macaroni salad, and leche plan.
