Today

✱ Currently in the office on a Wednesday because Monday was a Holiday. It’s pretty gloomy and we’re on orange alert the past few days. I thought parking would be easy in the office as no one would want to come in but I still ran out of slots. Good thing there’s one pay parking slot available in the building so at least I don’t have to go outside. Now I’m thinking if I’ll just pay the whole 150 and leave by 11pm, or move my car to our free parking zone when slots become available, that way I only need to pay 50. Thing is, I’m already in the building and I’m parked nose out so I kinda don’t want to trouble myself anymore haha. Fine I’ll just withdraw 150 lol.

✱ I don’t know if I want to walk out and explore today because it’s been raining the whole afternoon. I kinda want to get a couple thousand steps to compensate for being too lazy to swim earlier.

✱ We just terminated our Anytime Fitness membership so our last month will be this September. We’ll be saving 4,500 a month which means a lot, but I’m also slightly regretting losing gym access. Well, truth be told we haven’t been to the gym in months so that’s a big waste of money, and we never really go in the off hours so AF being 24hrs open never really benefitted us in the whole 18 months of our membership.

✱ If I really wanted to work out I can just go down to our condo gym. Anyway I only need a bike and a treadmill. Or maybe we’ll look for a personal coach within the condo.

✱ There’s a scheduled power outage tomorrow starting at 8am that would last for 5-6 hours and we’re not sure how to prepare for it. I know this happens yearly but I always forget. I guess we were never really bothered because it’s usually raining when this happens so it’s cold enough to sit through? I also don’t think our fridge would defrost too much. Oh well.

✱ It’s 8:37PM and I just got back from moving my car and having dinner.

✱ I was gonna eat at Kaya Korean Restaurant but saw that it’s already gone at Stopover and is replaced by this new Korean-Chinese restaurant that doesn’t even have Samgyup. I was devastated. It’s bad enough that Dragon T is already gone and Potato Corner doesn’t have wasabi anymore, but damn, BGC Stopover is becoming lame with all my favorite stores closing down! 🙁

✱ Anyway, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I finally got to try Soban K-Town grill which I have been curious about for a while now but didn’t have the courage to ask if they allowed only 1 diner per table. Turns out they do! And they have better side dishes than Kaya! I love it. I ordered marinated Woosamgyup and feasted on the sides. Here’s the aftermath of my Korean side dish degustation which left me really bloated. Remind me not to eat rice next time? By the time I got up I knew I ate too much of something because my left foot hurts! Like there’s a painful sting when walking. Not the first time it happened. I blame the kimchi, but also won’t stop eating it.

✱ I walked back and passed by Dot coffee to get hot cafe latte. I also bought this kalamansi protein bar thingy which is really just a lemon bar in my opinion. I don’t know why they had to make it sound healthy lol it’s not like their brand screams healthy. Imo they’re pretty much just like Pickup Coffee, with their burnt beans and good whole milk haha.

Alright, back to work!
