I was glad they cancelled our board meeting scheduled at 8 am before the Kapihan for lack of quorum. To be in Makati at 8 am is like stressing myself even before the day has started.
The Womenbiz Kapihan is at 9:30 am. Although I knew from experience that we would not start on time, I still want to be on time, always.
I left the house at 8:40 which was already kind of late.
I tried not to be affected by the traffic along EDSA.
Buses, what else is new?
instead of feeling relieved seeing policemen, my impulse was “what are they doing there?” Kasi naman last week, there were at least three incidences wherein the policemen were the criminals. Two raped and killed two Jesus is Lord female members. I had to indicate the gender kasi di ba even men are raped nowadays.
Evelyn Singson is a director of this hotel that’s why we patronize Dusit. They treat us well. Dusit is an ideal place for business events.

Chit Juan, introducing Atty. Lorna Kapunan, the moderator.
The two female guests were in awe of Lorna. They said they’re a fan.

I ate the two mini sandwiches and skipped the cake. I had two sips of tea instead of coffee.
Mylene Abiva and I were the official photographers.
Mylene’s watch is color-coordinated with her bluish-gray dress.
