Been a busy weeked for the group

Here are some gallery sets from a wedding in Santuario de San Jose. Which was a riot, since the wedding right after our underground group was another underground contingent of the older [non-active] members. Nagka-bukuhan! hahahaha!

Then there’s another memorable one at Santurario de San Antonio; where we started putting our “shy” members into “solo mode.” 1 Actually baka si Vino lang… si Gino naman gusto niya talaga; you’re not fooling anyone with your “modest” approach dude. But I still love you. I always believed that “forcing” [preferably unwilling] people to step up to the plate and sing is always good for individual confidence (and overall group morale) – what better testing grounds than weddings gigs right?

And how could we forget the unofficial “Grand Alumni Homecoming” mini-concert before the mass during the 7th Simbanggabi at Gesu. A whole bunch of members residing/stationed in different parts of the world came home for the holidays… and we ended up doing an impromptu repertoire to utilize the rare “concert-force” attendance.

During the weekend

Everyone knows that a lot of things happened during the weekend. The whole Super Typhoon Reming issue was enough to keep everyone busy.

Palawan

We were slated to have a concert in Culion, Palawan, and Jowi, Jampao and I went ahead of the group… about a day before – this was before Reming was even a problem.

The group was scheduled to leave on a Friday. Sure enough, their flight was cancelled – and tension rose for the three of us in Culion (well, actually only Jowi was stressed since she was the point person for this, Jamps and I were just taking it easy). Would there be a possibility that the group not make it at all?

One joke we had was actually pulling off the concert with only three of us – after all we had a guy, a girl, and a pianist. So if we switched repertoires to all solos it would’ve been quite feasible. Still, nakakahiya sa mga organizers, since they booked and paid for everything – the prospect of a half-assed performance [with only about a fifth of the members] wasn’t an option.

Fortunately God as usual, seemed to be on BP’s side, and the rest of the group was able to reach arrive the next day, and everything fell into place afterwards.

Now I’m back and I have a fever… I’m hoping it’s just due to fatigue over the weekend, and not symptomatic of more a serious illness (e.g. Malaria, Dengue, etc.)

No regrets though, we had a blast – and have pictures to prove it! Read More

Our Legaspi trip

BP‘s trip to Legaspi has proved to be a very fun-filled, yet extremely tiring weekend.

The group had a concert there… and we took an 11-hour bus ride from Ateneo to Legaspi. We left about 8:00pm from the admi, then arrived 7:00am the next morning.

11 hours of gas and break pedals, overtaking, zigzaging (can you say “lousy bus drivers”?) is enough to drive anyone crazy – but as my sister would say: if there’s a group that would make any kind of grueling trip enjoyable, it would be BP.

I’m glad to confirm that that is so true 😉
