With my chamber session postponed to next week, I decided to practice with my other choir that has a bi-monthly service over the EDSA Shrine. But I had to wake up relatively early to do this.

It was both a good and bad thing I did. It's good because I got to spend some time with some old (and some new) friends to practice. It's bad because I really don't know if I can attend the actual service on November. The time of the service runs smack into the middle of our weekly lawyers meeting. I could sneak this in when we move to Atlanta, because it will be nearby. But I really can't do that from our current office in Quezon City.

I might even make it to all the practice sessions because they are holding it again at the EDSA Shrine. But I think it does not look right when I can attend all practice sessions but can't make it to the actual service itself.

Anyway, I'll just cross the bridge when I get there for this service.

After that practice session, I wandered around Galeria for some time. Has not changed much since I last went there so I did not stay for long.

I then took Bea to her own practice session in her classmate's house near her school.

Had a meeting in Trinoma with a very bright prospect while waiting for her to finish.

Fetched her and got home just in time for choir practice.

Choir went relatively well, considering we had our alternate organist tonight because our regular one had another appointment.

Now, I'm just relaxing before I go to bed, because I have a lot of paperwork backlog tomorrow.

Good night to everyone. And an enjoyable weekend (and a productive week ahead) to all.

Disaster relief, sustainable development & community service

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
