After the Q&A, left the seminar while the other attendees queued-up for the book signing. Due to much prodding, the speaker said he uses the Hurom juicer. Aha!
Walked my way to
Ayala Center.
Since I got a coupon for using my BPI Amore, used it for free movie ticket of
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation. Had lunch at
Food Choices before my movie. Went to
KARADA for an appointment.
Members of a secret organization is being targetted by another secret organization. Lots of action and humor. And the formula works!
After the movie, attended the anticipated Mass and had dinner at
Italianni's. Claimed the BPI coupon I have unless it expires. We had a free Seafood Ciopinno.
Before proceeding home, passed by
National Bookstore in case I can find books on fruits and vegetables. The book of Dr. Jaime Galvez Tan is out of stock. I found alternates.
