Metrobank’s Anniversary

I attended Metrobank‘s 50th Anniversary that same day. I was at the Shangri-La Makati’s Rizal Ballroom from 5:40 pm to 7:30 pm.

When these flowers greeted me at the entrance, I thought, ” wow, my day is extreme, this morning I saw flowers at the wake, tonight, flowers again but for a much happier occasion.

Ang galing pala ni George Ty. He was only 29 when he put up Metrobank.

I smiled when I saw the Chinese butsi among the hors d’oeuvres. I wasn’t surprised at all because the founder and owners are Chinese and so are many of Metrobank’s valued clientele.

PCCI officer Alfonso Sy asked if I would be joining VP Binay’s delegation to Israel and Jerusalem in October. I was confused, why would his trip coincide with The Official Working Visit of President Benigno Aquino III to New Zealand and Australia?
During the time of FVR, the Vice President stayed “home” while the President was out.

I left while it’s not yet super traffic outside. I did not want to compete with at least 800 people waiting for their vehicles.

I did not eat at Metrobank’s cocktail party. I showed up and left while they were about to start the speeches. I went home to have a simple but very quiet and peaceful dinner all by myself.
Cherry what’s our ulam?
Adobong malaking tilapia galing sa maruming tubig ng Laguna de Bay, tinolang manok na merong pinitas na malunggay sa likod ng bahay, brown rice and tubig na may yelo.
