Apart from that pitiful excuse of a solo called “Far Greater Love,”1 the group’s trip to CDO was a very enlightening experience for me. I never realized how far I could go for the love of this group.

I wasn’t supposed to go, there were so many reasons not to; My Dad’s birthday was the next day, we were only essentially spending one day there, and will only be able to do what we set out to do; the concert.2 We had another performance at Gesu the next day (Dad’s B-day)… oh, and I haven’t even factored in that solo cluster-fuck of mine that was slated to happen during the concert, nor having to sleep in the hallway for a while (being the idiot that I am, I had forgotten to take the keys from my room-mates).

Given I’m the type of guy who could refuse to be part of a gig for the simple reason of not wanting to wake up too early, yeah, this trip should’ve been a no-brainer for me. But for some inexplicable reason, I even found myself doing things I normally wouldn’t do… and quite frankly I try to look back, and I haven’t the slightest idea why I even had to volunteer doing them.

And given all the events that transpired before, during, and after – I find myself in this eerie state of serenity. It’s like everything I mentioned above is what I know I should be thinking… and I already know what I should logically be feeling because of it, but I’m not…

This was one strange weekend indeed.

Anyways enough of that reflective shit, lets just get to the pics! Click on the picture below to visit the gallery set.

    1. I know, I know, I shouldn’t be too OC about it
    2. I can only speak for myself, but most of the appeal of any out-of-town trip is the excursion aspect of it

Sobrang naalala ko na — it actually came to me last night before I fell asleep (as do all trivial realizations…) Josef Machuca. Hee. :-) Tell him na lang I said hi.
