Xavier School Nuvali

Last April 2, 2013, my family and I toured Xavier School Nuvali. It opened last June 2012 with a total of 138 boy and girl students.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus

The top photo shows the Oratory of St. Francis Xavier with a reflection from the examen pool. The chapel is an “irregularly shaped octagon with no two sides equal in length.” It is known as the “Xavier Rock,” in relation to St. Peter the Rock.

The altar with the “Light of the World” Crucifix.

Matteo Ricci & Paul Xu Guangqi translating Euclid. (I thought of the Matteo Ricci study hall in Ateneo)




The Gymnasium
Xavier School Nuvali is located 40 km south of Metro Manila. It is accessed via SLEX through several exits: Mamplasan, Sta. Rosa, Eton City, Greenfield, Silangan, and Calamba.

14/52 weeks - Happy Easter from One DirEGGtion! (Thanks Anon)
13/52 weeks - This week I decided that it was finally time to fix my room. This included my super messy finals week table (which kind of looked like this photo taken in October `12). After two days, voila! Clean and redesigned!
Believe it or not, it took me more than 60 times to get this shot. (Thanks Bea, Justin, Larry, and Izzie for helping me realize that I shouldn’t settle for the “least ugly” photo)
Photos look 10x better on print! So excited to put these up!
Pho Hoa

I haven’t been to Vietnam to taste the real kind of Pho, but my sister has and she says that Pho Hoa comes close to the real one.
The name “Pho Hoa” comes from two words: “Pho,” which means rice noodles, and “Hoa,” which means harmony.
