This I've got to post

(This one is posted here in Zamboanga)

I woke up early on a Sunday, May 4 for the regular choir schedule at the Cathedral. Interlude sings for the first Mass every first Sunday of the month. But it wasn't an ordinary Sunday because the celebration of the Holy Eucharist was for the ascension of Christ to heaven. I sang Psalm 47 with the people at the Cathedral. It was a very heart-warming experience.

My procastination took a tool on my travel to Zamboanga for a Communications and Information Technology Training on Web Development. Other participants would be on Computer and Library Management. I was making some melodies for the upcoming Psalms, thinking that my Mamang would be the one to prepare my clothes for my travel. But Daylin did not arrive early so Mamang had to take care of the kids. I decided to iron the clothes at almost 1pm. It took me more than an hour and I was really sweating a lot. I had to place everything – clothes, shoes, soap, roll-on, alcohol, etc. in the travelling bag. Whew! It was already 2:25 pm that I took a refreshing bath. It was raining at the time. As soon as the rain subsided, I left home and took a ride on an aircon bus. I had to be seated at the back-most because the vehicle was loaded. Actually, there were some two seats available, but there too were two greedy passengers, who wouldn't allow anyone to sit beside them. Anyway, I hope one day they become less selfish. I arrived here in Zamboanga at 6:00 pm and went straight to Grand Astoria Hotel. The hotel was fully booked that many of us participants had to be accomodated at the Royal Regency Hotel in Pasonanca.

Day 1 at WMSU... It's today!

Busy, anxoius, relieved

The training on web development started with a quick tour on Internet. I was so happy that I was seated on a very functional computer (No. 35). Compared to most of the other computers, it has been one that downloaded fastest. The training was truly jam packed with many Internet related topics that I had to really be attentive. Well, the the house rules like cell phones switched to silent mode, PC monitors off during lectures, everyone had to really listen. On the other hand, Gilda has not yet arrived. Our principal kept on asking regarding it. Then he instructed Nong Nitz to help out Gilda get to the bus terminal. My sister Daylin told me that she would arrive 4:30 pm on bus no. 10152. It was around 5:40 pm that I arrived at the terminal. I was with Mae-Mae. We looked for Gilda all around but she wasn't there already. So we had to proceed to Grand Astoria. We asked the front desk personnel if a “Gilda Mancao” has already checked in. We received a neagtive reply. I almost lost hope when suddenly, I saw Gilda outside the hotel. I texted everyone worried about Gilda that she's already here.
