I woke up hungry, so after a shower I went down to the "bar" and ordered a breakfast.
After breakfast I went back to my room, and sent some sms.

Tey had asked if we could meet @ Ayala @ 4pm, which was fine with me... Around 2:30 I got another text asking if I could come to the other mall, SM, as Tey was sending some mail there.
