Vertigo

By on Wednesday, April 27, 2011

Michelle texted this afternoon that her mom, who is at home babysitting Jeanne, was feeling dizzy. Unfortunately, she couldn’t leave work plus I was nearer so I ran out from work, almost literally, and drove home. When I got there, I saw Michelle’s mom looked pale and sick. Good thing a neighbor was there and kept her company.

We quickly proceeded to the nearest hospital. When we got there, the staff wheeled her into the emergency room, lay her on a bed, checked her vital signs, and gave her some medicine. She’s under observation for a bit so Steph, Jeanne, and I had some pizza. Actually just Steph and I. Jeanne wouldn’t eat her slice so I got her some juice and corned beef pan de sal instead.

After an hour or so, we checked on Michelle’s mom again and she seemed better. The doctor prescribed some anti-vertigo medicine and discharged her. After paying, we went back home. Michelle arrived soon after and we went out again to buy the medicine.

Quite an interesting day.

Mio Cucina

By on Tuesday, April 26, 2011

On our first night at Los Banos last Holy Week, Michelle and I were looking for a place to eat when we discovered Mio Cucina. We were initially planning to go to LB Square but when we got there, it didn’t look like an appetizing place. So we headed back along Lopez Ave. and just before we reached Halcon St. we saw this small sign that read Mio Cafe though I couldn’t really see a restaurant. I asked the security guard and he directed me to an extremely narrow driveway. I vaguely saw a doorway to my right as I concentrated on not scraping the sides of the car. This is literally a hole-in-the-wall resto.

The place is as small as the sign and the parking area. It looked like it can accommodate only 20 people tops. It was already a bit crowded with a party of about a dozen people who were there ahead of us. But it was well-lit, well-furnished, and very homey. Kinda like a smaller, more upscale, better-lit, and less cluttered Dona Juanita.

Holy Week

By on Tuesday, April 26, 2011

My mom and dad flew in for the Holy Week and Jack’s graduation. As with family gatherings, I knew it was going to be both fun and hectic.

Thurs Apr 21 – My dad wanted to go to SM Mall of Asia but it turned out to be closed. So we just went to the bayside and mingled with the crowd waiting for a cenaculo. We had dinner at Dad and Mom’s Family Restaurant. It was overflowing with seafood. So much for abstinence. But it sure tasted great!

Out Of Facebook

By on Monday, April 25, 2011

Somehow Facebook has become what Friendster was. And worse. So I finally shut down my account. And I mean finally. I did a trial exit a week or two back just to see how it works. Somehow, my account was reactivated when I accidentally logged in. So I purposely mangled my password and deactivated my account again. Now I’ll have to forgot password before I can get logged in. Safe enough.
