baguio trip - cancelled.
at least for me. my choirmates are still going. it's so frustrating i swear. the thing is, i was informed a couple of days ago that i will have a week-long training starting monday. my baguio trip is on 5-7 april 2008. we planned it as such since april 7 is a holiday. which was perfect for me, since i get to have a vacay this summer.
apparently not. training will push through on monday even if it's a holiday.
this is so not right. i told my choirmate i won't be joining anymore. he was upset about it. he said i rarely get to join them in any out of town trips(so true). but it wont make any sense if join them just for an overnight thing. not worth my effort, time and money.
sigh.

choir practice
last night's choir practice was cut short. apparently, another church group came in the hopes of practicing as well. they were surprised to see us there. but we were even more surprised to see them. after all, we had the place reserved for our choir every thursday from 8-10pm. the look on their faces changed when we informed them we had the place reserved for our practices every thursday. as it turns out, they made no reservations whatsoever. so, their expressions changed from "what the hell are these guys doing here?" to "we're so sorry, we didn't know you had the place reserved." instead of the usual two hours, we had to call it a night after one.
one of our choirmates had her birthday on tuesday, 15 january. so she brought with her chicken pie and lemon squares. yum! the lemon squares were delicious - not too sweet, not too tangy either. the chicken pie was good, too - if only it was served hot. but, despite the fact that it was refrigerator-cold, it was still worth biting into. so, you could just imagine how it would have tasted like when hot.
on our way home, my sister (who brought the car) was driving when suddenly we heard a very disturbing noise in our car. the hunches of one of my choirmates (who hitched with us) was correct - it was a flat. fortunately, my choirmates in the other car passed by the same route, and they stopped to help us out. us three guys ended up getting our hands dirty. we had trouble locating the jack and other tools. you think i would know straight away where they are. after all, it's my car. while i was desperately trying to think, they decided to borrow the tools from the other car. it was then i remembered: it was in front! as in literally. even they were amazed when they found out. anyhow, changing the tire wasn't difficult. i admit, i wasnt able to help out much during the entire process, but i do know how to change a flat. in fact, back in college i ended up changing the tires of my friend's car. now he was clueless, as in he didnt know a thing! good thing i was able to observe the process from a taxi driver. you see, i rode a cab and we ended up having a flat while in skyway. i was amazed at his speed and precision in changing a flat - he says he has to act fast, otherwise the skyway patrol would arrive and they might tow away his car. i took mental images of the entire process and was able to apply it in the mall parking lot. am i a genius? hell yeah! hehehehe.
