AFTER ELEVEN MONTHS
Carpe Noctem (Seize the Night) - Start of Week #42/7
NOTE: A weekly post made before starting a week of studies at La Salle.
"... what is going to happen this Friday?"
FIRST of all I would like to mention that I just learned how to drive a motorcycle! Yeah yeah yeah, I know, it's fairly easy. But I didn't expect I'd learn how to drive one in just five minutes! I rode around the Subdivision and the feeling was great! I was like trying to imagine riding side by side with Jessica Alba or something. The feeling rocks! Not only do I want a Silver CR-V, but I also want a hot-red Honda Motorcycle!
Anyways, allow me to lower my voice. Ahem. Since my "The Damage Report" included Saturday, I'll just talk about today before I move onto "this week". Today we woke up early for my cousin's son's Baptism in Kawit, Cavite. I am one of the Ninongs.
I wore the things I bought the pass few days. A new pair of pants from Penshoppe, a new white polo from Penshoppe, the Shades I bought last Friday, and the necklace I bought last Friday. I wanted the "Refreshingly Pure White Sunday" look so I went outside like that. The skies today were shady and at some time sunny.
We arrived in Kawit about 30 minutes late from the Invitation time. However, there was some kind of Baptism Seminar in that multipurpose room next to the church. We arrived at the church and there was a wedding. A Japanese groom was getting married to a Filipina bride... the two looked nice together. It was my first time at St. Mary's Parish in Kawit (after many years of passing by this Church back in High School). We couldn't find the baby, Mynel Iesu Putong Santos...
When we finally found them, they were in a room filled with so many families and many little babies. It was a mass-baptismal... oh ok. I'm used to seeing just two or three babies at the same time, but inside a room of so many babies... woah. It was just ten minutes of some prayers followed by the Holy Water and the candle lighting ceremony. Afterwards we proceeded to the Santos residence which happens to be just in front of the entrance to Water Camp in Kawit, Cavite.
We were led to eat in the sala while the others ate in the dining room and on the tables outside. Some guy gave us the control so I switched it to CNN. Kuya Henry and I exchanged some words about the CR-V that he found. A second-hand Model 2000 for P700,000. It's an Automatic and it's Silver. This is the CR-V that has POTENTIAL. Despite it being P700,000 for an older model when you can get a new one and even in installments for P990,000.
After enjoying the really tasty lumpia rolls, we had to go. We went home and then before Kuya Henry left, he taught me how to drive a motorcycle. I was just being taught visually so I thought that was it and he'd return on Wednesday or something to teach me the rest. But he told me to get on the motorbike and give it a shot. I got on, and he told me how to get it moving. And then no less than a minute later, I was already down the road in the Subdivision.
Like I stated earlier, the feeling was great. I was overwhelmed that I was actually driving a motorcycle. I wish I had a camera to take a picture. "George's First Motorcycle Drive".
I spent the rest of Sunday in my room and working on PROJECT BJ6. As of this evening, it's starting to have a more definite shape. Perhaps sometime this week my co-webmasters can stop by again and this time we can get some solid things done.

This week is actually quite a stir. And I thought we were going to Baguio again?! Anyways, there's no disappointment there. My dad is returning "after eleven and a half months" from abroad. With him come drastic changes. A speedy search for a new car. Completion of the floorings in the house. He has my Digital Camera and he has the cash for a new cellphone perhaps (A shades-of-blue Nokia 7250)...
This week I've set a personal goal to accomplish all seven articles I have for News section of the Heraldo Filipino. This is the most I've had assigned to me for News for a single Broadsheet... and I'm up for it.
Monday and Tuesday will be dedicated to schoolwork. Course Card distribution and maybe trips to the mall or some kind of unplanned outing await.
