Farewell party and Homecooked Meals by Tati Linda

A big SALAMAT PO to Tita Linda and her helpers who provided us with scrumptious delights 4 times a day throughout our stay at the Enchanted Farm. Although till now we have problems remembering the names of all the dishes that we gobbled each time, we will never forget the kindness and hospitality shown to us. Every meal was a pleasant surprise that boosted our energy levels and motivated us to put our best effort in working together to materialize the vision of the Farm.

The most unforgettable meal definitely has to be the feast during the farewell party on the last night =’). Besides the food, drinks and snacks, what we really appreciated was the company of the whole village. Everyone joined in for a night of fun and dance with the Karaoke box in the background. Talents were spotted belting or crooning their favorites. Different groups of the villagers also took turns to perform dances that they so diligently practiced every Saturday. Age definitely does not matter when it comes to dancing in The Philippines. We saw Titas ascending tables with torchlights to create the disco atmosphere for the rest of us and little girls dancing to songs by Kpop group 2NE1. Even our own professor could not help but shake along.^^ Seeing the whole village come together for activities like this really warms the heart. The villagers could have come from different parts of the country and us from other parts of the world (there were at least 6 different nationalities), but when we were all under that one roof in that multi-purpose hall, it just felt like one big family. Tito, Tita, Kuya, Ate... <3

loves,
Sassy
