Back to Manila

Last Saturday, the following happened to Pascale on her walk back from Salcedo market to Rockwell:
 

- Hi Ma'am, how are you?

- I am fine, thank you (pause - surprise)

- Ma'am you, don't recognize me, I am Joel!

- (smile - pause - still surprise)

- Driver Joel from Pacific Plaza, Sir gave me his bicycle in 2006, look, I still have it, I still use it and my children too!!
 

We never had a driver but Joel was washing our car once in a while. As a farewell gift (we left for Indonesia) he got my bike. Feels good that the bike is in very good hands.
