My Papang Celebrates his 60th Birthday!

This has been one of the busiest day I've ever had.

Mamang was preparing the eggs and the milk for the leche flan. It's papang's birthday today. She didn't know how to get it done, so I prepared it my self. I left the house and told my sister Daylin that the flan is being steamed and would be done in 10 minutes. I had to be at WMSU by 7 am because of my chemistry class with the first year engineering. By 9 am, I left the campus and proceeded to Ipil Central School for a seminar (which should have been only for newly hired teachers by virtue of its purpose - TIP or teacher induction program). Well, indeed, staying at the venue was totally a waste of my time!
At past 12pm, I rushed up back to WMSu for my chemistry class with the ComSci - I students. They were really waiting for me as I told them, I'd inform ahead if I was going to be absent. I held lesson with them till 2 pm. I went down, back to the training venue (to continue to waste my time!) At around three, Daylin sent me a text message that I go to Tiayon as Papang's birthday party would be held in there. I left the seminar at 3:30 pm and went to a department store to buy a present for papang. It was a Lacoste shirt. When I got to Tiayon, I gave Papang his gift. He was happy about it. I was so glad having heard from Uncle Moroy that my Teacher - II appointment is now ready. The celebratin started at 5pm. At that very time, I received a text from Kuya Roger that I had to be at the church to operate the musical organ. I rushed to the Cathedral and I saw Fr. Elmer, already ready to have the Holy Mass started. He told me, "Sir, you are a messiah... everyone has been waiting for you!". As soon as I got ready with the diskettes, the Mass began, with me as the commentator at the same time. I too was the second reader... whew!
Well, it's papang's birthday. I pray that he will always have a healthy mind and body, with God's blessings.
