An out-of-town trip. A recently discovered hole-in-the-wall. A would-be pastime. A short silly talk. An interesting brew.

image Thanks, Doc Naomi! Down with a cold, third time this month. Plus a bad sore throat. Tsk. Skyway run’s pretty close. Pending long runs. Last chance this weekend. *Posted from WordPress for Android*

 ”One tall iced cold beer— for here or to go?” Waaaay beyond coffee. Well, that’s the plan. *Posted from WordPress for Android*

Game 2

Kung Hei Fat Choi! Two wins in a row for Talk ‘N Text against Powerade, 102-96. That was a super charged match. Alapag/Peek and David/Casio were on a roll, throwing almost flawless baskets. Plus fun to watch turnovers. Quality PBA. ;-) *Posted from WordPress for Android*

Finger Food

image We chowed down two balut (fertilized duck embryo) each and shared our first bottle of Sparkle (tastes like Mountain Dew) last night after attending mass at Pius. Oh yeah. Inexpensive and accessible guilty pleasure! We’ve become regulars (one or twice every two months) of manang who owns a tiny improvised kiosk situated comfortably in the center island between UN Ave. and Pres. Quirino Ave. Ext. She seems very kind and gracious— reminds me of my late grandmother, Nanay. * Posted from WordPress for Android *

image Unplanned lunch out with my teammates Dan, Nats, and Liza yesterday at Chubby’s Rib Shack at Solaris One along Dela Rosa St. Makati. Nice and neat American diner ambience. After the extra attentive waitress encouraged us noobs to try their buffalo wings and riblets for sharing, we ended up sampling their triple mini cheeseburgers (taste good!) and fries. Only Nats went for the riblets suggestion (hot, hot, hot). Back at work, Sylvia told us about Chubby’s famous ribs and buffalo wings, which we didn’t even try. So…that’s why the waitress asked us again if we don’t really want to have their wings, with that what’s-wrong-with-these-people look. Hmm, next time. Oh, budget is 200 PHP per head more or less. *Posted from WordPress for Android*
