Halloween 2009, Magnet Cafe

 

 

After a coupla months, the Sabi family met again. A few people were missing in action –Yssah, Reggie, NA, Chay and Mon.

 

We attended the Halloween event of Magnet Café at Bonifacio High Street last Saturday.  I love Halloween and seeing people dress up in their creative costumes.  I particularly like the funny ones and ones that stir an evocative memory.  I was planning to come as “leftover.”  But we were running out of time that both CW and I just went as we are –“boring people.”

I enjoyed some of the dance music, but it was mostly house music -which I couldn’t relate much to.  I just gorged on my order of Magnet’s Beef Kebab with curry rice.  It was delicious.

 

It was good to see Team Sabi once again and my heart melt listening to Carlo and Shiela recount the proposal.  They also shared their wedding preps and I got to hand it to these two trimming their guest list to the “essentials.”  From the now 12 friends I know who are getting/got married (between June 2009 – October 2010), Carlo and Shie have the least number of guests (less than 100!) for the actual wedding reception.  They are planning another party for the rest that didn’t make the tight cut. This seemed most practical when they were explaining the plan.  I’m so excited for them.

 

 

 

They wanted to wed on 10-10-10 but since the church of choice (Sanctuario de San Jose) was already fully booked, wedding date is now 10-8-10 (still a pretty good number to remember if you ask me –it’s my dad’s birth date). Carlo asked if I could read during the ceremony –which makes me both nervous and ecstatic. Still finalizing the other details but all the Sabi family (even those MIA) are in high spirits with regard to this union.

Storm Pepeng Brewing in the North

 

It’s raining again and the worst is feared.

 

It hasn’t even been a week and another tropical storm is reported to enter the Philippine territory October 1, 2009, Thursday.  Accroding to PAGASA, Bagyong Pepeng, international codename “Parma,” will likely hit the Batanes group of islands and extreme northern Luzon and parts of Visayas and Mindanao… and it could develop into a super typhoon.

 

 

“Yung worst scenario, tatama dito sa may Batanes-Taiwan area, sa extreme Northern Luzon (Our models show the worst scenario is that it will hit the Batanes-Taiwan area, in extreme Northern Luzon),” Pagasa forecaster Gener Quitlong said in an interview on dzBB radio.

 

In its 5 a.m. bulletin, Pagasa said Parma (Pepeng) was estimated at 1,110 km east of Mindanao with maximum sustained winds of 75 kph and gustiness of up to 90 kph.

 

 

“Extreme Northern Luzon, Eastern Visayas and Eastern Mindanao will experience mostly cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms. The rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.”

 

As of 10am, Typhoon Pepeng is now in the Philippines, currently 900kms east of Surigao City, which carries with it, strong winds.   The 5-day forecast reveals that the height of the typhoon will hit around Saturday afternoon, October 3, 2009.

 

UPDATE: Some Plurk messages read: Hail Storm in QC (Oct. 1- 12:00nn).  

“Friday (October 2) is a REGULAR WORKING DAY. But massive cleanup will push through in affected areas.”
