Update on the lost luggage - it was on the last flight out from Bacolod and on its way to the office of my dad in Quezon City. Peter and I were really not stressed out about this nor were we worried because the bag and its contents are replaceable. But thank God that it has been found.

I forgot to tell you about last night's Vespers Service at the Church of the Risen Lord. As you know typhoon "milenyo" passed through Metro Manila and Quezon City with sustained winds of about 175km/h. A lot of the trees were uprooted and some of the trees surrounding the church fell bring the electric wires down with them. The entire church compound was without power. So we had a nice and intimate candlelit service last night. I was glad to see the Vesper Choir still alive. I remember several years ago when I was a one-woman choir during vespers. Not until I invited my close friends to join me in forming the first Vesper Choir of the 80s - we were called the Vocal Chords (a group of 7 - 2 ladies and 5 gents). The Vesper Choir today is also just a handful of dedicated members. Their repertoire is a bit different from what we used to sing but still they did a great job in providing music for the service.
