A concert, an encounter and dinner

• Watching the Philippine Madrigal Singers' Christmas concert last night at the CCP with Joel who so kindly drove us over--a four-hour drive thanks to traffic!--and was so accommodating considering my still-unmended broken elbow.
• Hearing Joel relate how he ran into his ex-girlfriend in the lobby during the intermission (which, not wanting to have people run into my broken elbow, I sat out in my seat). His ex-girlfriend asks, "Sinong kasama mo?" Joel replies without thinking, "Si ate Marge." Questioning look from ex. "She's been our pianist for the longest time." Still a questioning look from ex. "Since high school." Brief pause from ex before she says, "Okay."
• Have dinner with Joel at Sizzling Pepper Steak at the CCP complex.
