Straight after conference - well Tuesday - I was in Quezon City for 3 days' council. I had an interesting start as the taxi i got in to take me to the centre assured me he knew a short-cut to the main road we were travelling on and I tentatively agreed to him taking me but I was a little anxious the first few minutes as those horror stories from the Travel Guides played on my mind but it turned out to be a good short-cut although I could never do it myself as we wound through all these back streets in the barangay. In the evening I had arranged to meet my friends at the mall but the traffic was dreadful and as I couldn't figure out which bus was going my way I ended up in another taxi. Plus my mobile phone died and I got a bit confused about where we were meeting but thankfully some other friends happened to be at the restaurant and I used their phone to call! We tried a new Indian place and it was great.
I took the non-aircon bus back for 25 pesos! It took 20 minutes as traffic was better and the buses drive madly up that road.
Weds. I got a surprise invite to see Wolverine so I went as I felt I needed the mindless entertainment after a heavy day! It was good to get out of the centre for two evenings as sometimes I find it a little claustrophobic spending all day there in meetings and then being there by myself in the evenings too. But it does give me space and time to read which I appreciate.
Thursday we finished early which was another pleasant surprise and it was nice to have a full afternoon home with the family. I had to make Rose's birthday cake for her party on Friday anyway but more on that.....
