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.

Deathday

Today doesn’t feel like it’s my birthday. Actually, as my friends would attest to, I never gave my birthday that much thought. Often I even forget all about it – even if it was just around the corner (like today). Regardless, today was especially irritating because, aside from the fact that I’m one year closer to the day I die, a bunch of… not-so-happy-events also occured.

Good weekend

Just came from mass today, after like how many years of not going to church. I mean I do go to mass when we have to sing for it hehehe. I guess I was compelled to thank the Lord somehow for everything that has been happening to me.

  • DLSU gets to go to the championships
  • The Tim Henson, “author” of my favorite comedy podcast Distorted View Daily, left me a message on one of my posts
  • Nono hooked me up on a quick racket which gives me some shopping money 😉
  • I’m practically stress free
  • Good things have been developing nicely on the personal life
  • Was able to talk to a person who empathizes with my situation

I was telling Leslie that I was always fearful that bad karma would come my way for all the bad stuff I did (intentionally or not) in the past years of my life, and believe me, there have been quite a lot. And that painful jolt would beat me into shape.

But surprisingly, the opposite has happened – but with the same effect. Life has been so kind [recently] that I can’t help but appreciate His providence and feel compelled to become a better person… to try to be worthy of it.

Of course, this may just be a high. Like when you go to a retreat, so hindi ako magsasalita ng tapos, but right now, this very moment, it’s crystal clear what I want to do… I just hope it stays that way for my sake, and the sake of everyone else around me.
