Week Activity Highlights
For now I'll note down my Activity highlights for the Week to remind me in the future of what I did in the past. When you're getting old and starting to show signs of senile dementia (it's a fact that alcohol can damage brain cells but how can you refuse an ice cold beer?!!? cheers!!!) it's a good idea to have footnotes to shake your memory:
1. Dropped off W at the airport (10 Nov, Thursday) for her business trip in Manila. Late for work, supposed to leave for the airport at 6:00 a.m. but was able to 20 minutes after. Aaarghh!! Be back on the 23rd (Wednesday), day before Thanksgiving. Lucky I'm off that day so no problem picking her up. Got the whole house by myself...hoohah!! time to Par Tay...yeah right...think like the exact opposite...
2. Get a life...what friendly persuasion can do, I finally decided to join an "informal" Filipino choir for St John Neumann Catholic Church's musical concert in Eagan... after attending four practices and listening to the computer (ahhh what technology can do) for the tenor part on wav file sent by our "informal" musical director Randy, we made it on Friday, 11 Nov...we did two songs: Aba Ginoong Maria (Hail Mary) and Humayo't Ihayag (Go Forth and Proclaim) ...there was this harmonica player and pianist who did "Amazing Grace" jazz style and I think the harmonica player got carried away... you know how they do it in jazz stretching those notes and the pianist just played along matching him note by note... clap, clap, clap, clap ...standing ovation.
3. What happened last Halloween? Party at home...or rather they had a party at home...mostly former officemates, current officemates and friends of W. Had work that day and decided to go to the Y afterwards. Party was about done when I arrived home since it's a weekday and there's work the following day. Said hello and goodbye to some departing guests. Downside of coming late...there was almost no leftover food (and after coming from the gym!!!!) and if that's not enough you're faced with the task of helping clean the house. My only consolation is I have the day off the following day...heck with the cleaning, got the whole day tomorrow, might as well enjoy what's left of the evening and watched recently bought DVDs... at least there was still some chocolates left from the trick or treat thing to satiate my sweet tooth...now who says Halloween are only for the kids?
