Brgy. St. Francis, Tiaong, Quezon
April 03, 2013
St. Francis is a remote barangay in Tiaong almost extending through the areas of San Antonio, Quezon. Around 20 minutes of jeepney ride from Tiaong town proper, you'll reach Brgy. Pury, San Antonio wherein a bumpy tricycle ride can take you to St. Francis for another several minutes. T'was not an easy road since the road was rough and powdery; the dusts go with the wind as it blows. As we trod the rocky road, we can notice calamansi and banana plantations as well as vegetable gardens along the way. Indeed, the locality is in an agricultural setting. Unfortunately, roads were not given much development beyond the fact that farm-to-markety roads are crucial in such areas. Even so, after several dusty kilometers we arrived at Rossana's place safe and sound.
T'was actually a graduation blow-out. The people were happy, especially the Bait's. Visitors were jolly and very accomodating; we've just came to know where did Rossana acquired such traits-It's her environment. The long bumpy ride was forgotten when we saw the buffet with mouth watering dishes, tootaching desserts and thirst quenching drinks. So much inviting and tempting to divulge on. As we got the go signal to dine, we did not ignore the chance to taste the edibles. And this was the best, the leche flan is the taste of four-year success of my friend in college. Very rewarding.
The journey could be rough,dusty, and rugged. Not as smooth as we always want it to be but the end of the road is the sweet and rewarding success. The end of the road is always a new journey to start with.
Special thanks to Rossana Bait and Family for accomodation, Roy Jasper for the free transporation, Mariah, Tin, and friends for always being late.
