It's a quiet Friday for me. It started out with a great morning and better things are yet to come. I got a call from Melvin, my best friend. He invited me to this yearly beach bash in Cebu- Jamaican Nights. A very tempting offer: a bunch of half-naked sexy boys and girls prancing around in their skimpy beachwear. It's going to be on Saturday night, that's tomorrow, so I have more or less 24 hours to decide. Hope I make the right one...

I had a meeeting with the couple whose wedding reception I'll be catering on the tenth. We were ironing out the details of the reception and we had a great time. We'll be having a taste test on Wednesday. I hope all will turn out great...

At 2pm, I've just started on my lunch. I'm having fish fingers and Pepsi. I had a late breakfast because I had to cook it since the staff were out this morning. It's still a sweltering Wednesday and still no sign of relief for the rest of the week. The a/c unit in my room is working overtime and I'm preparing myself for the electric bill. I'm going to my skin doctor later this afternoon. I need to look my best for the coming weekend. There's a family reunion coming up...

I'm having a cup of instant coffee while I'm doing this blog. I missed my daily dose of caffeine, instant or otherwise, since the cafe downtown closed. I missed the simple pleasure of reading a good book along with a cup of latte or capuccino. I hope a new cafe opens soon...

The temperature today is too hot for comfort. I can't chill in my room all day because I don't want my electric bill to shock me. I thank the heavens for internet cafes: airconditioned comfort plus all the world wide web can offer. I was planning to get a haricut this afternoon but when I passed by my favorite salon, it was closed for renovations. Bummer. So again, I availed of the chilly treat the internet cafe offered me. A cool, refreshing way to start this hot week...

Power's out today. The heat wave is on, so I took a long shower and got the hell out of my house. I'm cooling off in a cafe downtown. One might not consider it cooling off since the aircon is out but it's way better than the sauna in my room. I watched Sayaw 2003 last night with my buddies, Ian and Moe. Dance troupes all over the country worked their stuff on stage and was good entertainment for me. Oh gawd, I'd give anything for long, cold, non-alcoholic, calorie-free drink...
