Soleil

Francis thought that the man I am with in the picture is my brother. Biologically, he is not. But in the Society of Jesus, he is. He is Pedro Chia. I was a year ahead of him in the Novitiate. He grew up in Malaysia; studied in Taiwan; worked in Singapore. If my memory serves me right, he finished his university studies in Texas. I think his field was information technology. He joined the Society of Jesus in Taiwan after his "religious experience" at the World Youth day in Canada. This was taken in Soleil when they still had a branch in Greenbelt. I am not sure what happened but the last time I passed by there, there was already a different resto.

Pity, I love that place.
