Idiot Move of the Month (or Guess Where This Story is Going)

I woke up this Sunday morning feeling fairly refreshed. As a would-be godfather, I was set to attend my friend Anne's son's baptism at Sto. Domingo Church, a stone's throw away from my house. Lunch was to follow at a restaurant in Banawe, also nearby. I had over an hour and a half to prepare, so I took my time. Groomed and dressed up nice? Check. Keys and digicam? Check. Cellphone? Check. Present for the baby? Er, not ready yet, but I'll come back for it after the baptism.

While heading for the footbridge to cross over to the church I checked the text message Anne sent me the week before about the details and venue.

The baptism and party was yesterday.



Still, I crossed the footbridge, hoping against logic that maybe Anne has the same misprinted Asian United Bank calendar I had at home and showed up today. No such luck. I called her from the church to apologize.

I thought of that, but my life is so lacking in hectic-ness and busy-tude that it'll just end up as a pricey paperweight. ;)
