Schitzophrenic Sunday

Arrived a bit late to a christening party at Dad's/ Saisaki (Glorietta branch) that didn't happen. Since Lisabelle's husband Gilbert's grandfather died 2 weeks ago the party was cancelled. I heard of the former news but failed to deduce the latter, though it would've helped if Lisa actually told me that the party was postponed, probably 'til Baby Nigel's birthday in December. Drove home in time to get picked up for a lunch party at Tramway.

After lunch, however, instead of heading home we went to Le Pavillion in Pasay to check out Oti's booth at a wedding convention being held there. (Nice Apple monitors.) Stayed for about an hour, or 45 minutes more than I could stand. Did we head straight home after that? Nope. First, dropped Dad off at the Holiday Inn, then picked up Sis and the kids at their place for a supposed trip to Makati... which somehow turned into a trip to Intramuros and (get this) Manila Zoo. And for a place that was currently under rennovation (hence the lack of giraffes and lions), the 40-peso ticket price (half price for Manila residents) was definitely not worth it. I haven't been here for more of less 2 decades (and boy, I wish it was 3 decades).

After the zoo we picked up Dad and finally went home, though 45 minutes later we went out again for dinner at Country Waffles. Saw Bernadette Sembrano and a gentleman friend (and someone I assumed to be the gentleman friend's mother). Good steak, though the pink lemonade was too sweet. I think one of the waiters tried to flatter (or irritate) Berns by belting out "Wish Ko Lang," at random. If he really wanted to flatter her he should've called the owner of the car that was blocking theirs when they were trying to leave.
