Vampires: How to Deal with Difficult People
(Note: The title was taken from the latest talk series of Bo Sanchez at the Feast PICC. What I am going to share with you were my notes and reflections from the talk series as well). Nope, I’m not talking about Vampires Edward and Bella of Twilight Saga. Edward Cullen: gentle yet strong, brave yet calm, loving, highly disciplined, mysterious, phlegmatic, choleric, and the list goes on… His character is so endearing! Okay, enough about Edward Cullen.
