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.

Preventive maintenance

The card reader of our lift was out of order for some days, then a nicely produced advisory was attached next to the card reader informing that it was all about "preventive maintenance". After 3 weeks finally the card reader was repaired...
