Last year, I was not able to go home to Maasin to celebrate it’s charter day and fiesta thanks to a hectic schedule and some major life transitions. They said there’s always gonna be a first time for everything and that one was my first. I failed to get my token of recognition for 5 years of service to the Maasin City government as well as the SK Federation which is, well, ranks the top of my list. It’s a sad sad moment and as much as I regret making the choice, the universe would not share my sorrow and create a vortex for me to relive the past.
As the period of transition is over and my life’s anchor is properly placed (for now), I’d be stupid to miss the chance to be home and meet the people I care the most and who never fails to include me in their thoughts from time to time. Thus, I arranged by schedule for maximum participation to Maasin City’s Charter Day and Fiesta 2009 events.
Rachel, told me yesterday, via Facebook that their department is taking charge of the Opening Ceremony and honoring of Alfredo K. Bantug’s 100th birthday. He’s one of the Maasin City’s most admired mayor and who also fathered a lot of children from those admirers.
Ma’am Effie, Maasin City vice mayor, invited me to watch the Miss Maasin City Pageant 2009 which will be on the eighth which upped my desire to be home until Geoffry posted the pictures on his blog making me reconsider. I wonder where have all the pretty girls of Maasin gone and why they haven’t been picked? Have they gone blind or had they acquired a more “native” taste? Since they are pushing through with the event, I think the only way they can drive people to watch it is to make all tickets complementary or sell them at half the usual price.
I’ll rest my case on Miss Maasin City or I’ll be damned when I go home. Oh well, who am I kidding? No one from Maasin reads this blog.
Anyway, I hope I meet my old friends when I go home. Perhaps Yhan-yhan will be home as well and sir Jingle will not be to busy so I can treat him to coffee. I really miss all of you guys.
See you in Maasin!
