Daily Report: Caritas

Epril joined up with some of the other expatriate's wives to go out to the ABS-BCN-MOR broadcast center to donate goods and help load up trucks and deliver needful things to Cagayan De Oro's recent flood victims. I wasn't there, as I stayed at home and worked (poorly).

Sadly, it seemed that there weren't many volunteers there, but in between heaving heavy boxes of canned goods up onto trucks, Epril got to chat with the local news anchor, several of her MOR deejay friends (who were at our wedding), and the governor of Misamis Oriental (who is a family friend).

In the evening, it was out to Spooks as per usual. Mike Mike had put out a bit of a "Friday at Spooks isn't popular anymore; maybe I'll close" e-mail this past week, so tonight there were more than a few people there to show their support.

After that, Epril and I went out to The Mulberry Hotel, where we enjoyed a selection of our favorite appetizers: The crab and potato croquettes (140 pisos/$3), the glazed cajun chicken wings (140 pisos/$3), and the sliced chorizo sausage (140 pisos/$3). They've changed the sauce on the chicken wings, so they are no longer the best chicken wings in town... just very good. The croquettes though are still enough reason to go.
