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

Recess at Sickbay

We had an unusual date last night. There was no definite plan aside from dropping by the Greenbelt chapel. After staggering along Dela Rosa St. and a few side streets for more than half an hour, both of us undecided trying to find a quiet spot where we could have our dinner, we ended up at the second floor of the Makati Medical Center. Then it was final— dinner to be served at the Floating Island Restaurant.

Yesterday was a free weekday for the two of us. Petiks. In the afternoon, we roamed around Gilmore and some subdued street in Cubao scouting for the set of hardware for the PC that he’s going to build one of these days. After our successful task for the day, we headed to Som’s Noodle House along Algier St. (is it Algier or Alger?) near Rockwell Powerplant Mall for an authentic Thai cuisine.

Brewing Sessions has two new pages, one of which has been discreetly existing on this Web site for the past couple of months. The Cupboards page contains a list of books that interest us and the Hot Spots page summarizes the places that we have visited since 2005. Although we decided to publish these pages, we are still in the process of updating corresponding lists and descriptions. We are getting down on our knees for the eyesore they might bring.

Thursday last week, we took a short afternoon stroll along H.V. dela Costa trying to locate this authentic Italian restaurant, which I had discovered on the net. My buddy thought that we were on the wrong track since we had almost reached the end of the curve without any sign of the resto. I had become a little skeptical knowing my stupefying sense of direction, which almost pushed me to buy his quick assessment. But I still insisted on walking further because I knew I had done my research well. I was confident that we were almost there.
