Today I slept at around 3 am, woke up at 6:30 am. Ate breakfast at McDonald's then went directly to the Sangguniang Panglungsod. Was at the city council session until 12 noon. It was, at times, interesting and educational, but also boring and annoying sometimes. Some questions and statements made were just sooo illogical or simply not well thought of (translation: DI PINAG-ISIPAN!). Nonetheless, it was quite amusing. Lunch break was declared at 12 noon and we had to come back at 1:30 pm. I ate yummy beef stew at De Bonte Koe ALONE! At 1:30 pm, the session resumed, and proceeded with haste until it ended at 2:30 pm. I then went to the office, worked online until around 7 pm, then ate dinner with Kuya Andrew at Caffe Vivere. The Chicken Ballentine was yum-yum-yummy! We then went to Kuya's house to continue working but we both realized we were just too damn tired and stressed. So we wrapped up before 10 am, and decided to go to the nearby K1 Spa. Kuya had an aromatic body massage while I had my foot scrubbed and my face cleaned and massaged. I fell into a brief but very refreshing nap.…

CACS Skills Batch 3 Legacy Dinner
I was lucky enough to be invited to the Legacy Dinner of Batch 3 of the Skills Course the Center for Asian Culinary Arts. Aside from getting to eat all those yummy foods they served, I hosted the event. It was a virtually fuss-free gig. :) Oh, you're more interested in the food? While waiting for the buffet to open and the other guests to arrive, I munched on a Foccacia served with Chicken Liver Pate and Confit. I'm a fan of liver pate so I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pate had a nice smooth texture and was very flavorful. The focaccia was nothing extraordinary, but it had olives in it so YEY! They served three types of salads: Ceasar's, Waldorf, and Salad ala Greca. They also had California Maki, Manhattan Maki, Tekka Maki, and Tuna Sashimi, and Salmon Sashimi. I only got to try the sashimis because well, there was just to many people lining up and they ran out of the makis. The sashimis were fresh. The tuna was kinda cold and iced, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. There were two types of pastas and two types of sauces. I had Spaghetti with the Pomodoro with Italian Sausage.…
