We were doing recruitment at a Catholic school in Bacolod when I bumped into the Dean of the Graduate School of "Silliman Back" university. = )

She gladly greeted me. We shook hands.

Then she asked: "What are you doing here Father?"

I replied, although a bit alarmed by how she addressed me: "Oh, we’re here to do recruitment."

"What about you, Ma’am?"

"We’re here for our Lakbay Aral."

After her seemingly never-ending trail of smiles, she asked me: "So, after this, you’re going back to Valencia?"

"Valenca? You mean, Valencia in Bukidnon or Valencia next to Dumaguete?"

"In Dumaguete…at St. Joseph Seminary!"

I stuttered.

"Hmmm… Ma’am, I think you have the wrong person; I’m not a priest."

"Ohhh… But you actually look like a priest!"

Toinkz!

Was that what people call THE "calling"?

Haller, is anybody home?
