Power Out, Out of Power

Got up really early. Six AM, in fact. Why? Last night the power went out (11:16PM, according to Meralco) in a "scheduled power interruption," and there I was just finishing a Tae Bo workout a few minutes earlier. Needless to say trying to get some sleep was a bitch. Power came back 7 hours later.

Had lunch with Joy at Bubba Gump Shrimp. Even though I had already packed a lunch (2nd time this happened with her) the restaurant staff didn't make a fuss when I had fried rice with their bucket of mahi mahi, shrimp and lobster (and fries buried underneath).

Tonight I had dinner with Rafael, Cheryl Uy and 2 of their friends from Canada, Jocelyn and Grace, at Josef Imbus Stube, a German restaurant in San Juan. Like with Ivy's wedding reception, not being the "alpha male" of the conversations, I only had a moderately good time. Nothing against the company, but they simply had more history together. Most of the time I didn't know what they were talking about. Part of me regretted uninviting Josephine (and Marjorie by association) to this get-together. A small consolation come in the form of Karen Lim and her batchmate Laurie, both of whom also went there to eat.
