food poisoning and a burnt church

Sunday was pretty memorable. My two sisters and I went to mass at Magallanes. The church was burnt! The damage was terrible! The structure was still standing but all the glass was broken, pews destroyed, fans melted, etc! It was a very expensive fire. The church was fully airconditioned, the pews were made of solid narra, the altar made of sculpted marble. There were even two LCD projectors installed. It's so depressing to see a burnt church. Makes one think. Should one liken it to Jesus' destroying a temple and rebuilding it in 3 days?

Anyway, after mass we had dinner at Pancake House Magallanes. Mama and I both ate their club sandwich and got food poisoning. Was vomitting, had tummy ache and diarrhea. Good thing Mark was there to nurse me back to good health. He patiently sat beside me, fetching me water, making me drink meds and drink gatorade and Hydrite. Hurray for Mark! I'm so lucky I have someone like him :)
