Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once during the night, again when thunder woke me (it was raining), finally waking/getting up at 6:20am (very overcast but no rain) just before my 6:30am alarm.
I started my ride sharing search at 7:20, my Didi was close
by, traffic was good and I arrived at Unicentro mall by 7:45.
Jose joined me a few minutes later and when they allowed us
to enter we went up to the 2nd floor to Parmessano. We each
had their French toast with coffee. I algo got a bottle of water to go and my
check was just under 50mil.
We moved to the food court where I had the Black pieces in
the first game. Not being very familiar with my new opening (the Pirc), I had
looked at a few online games to get an idea of what my formation might look
like. Jose castled to the opposite side and started a pawn storm against my
king but I held him off and in the end made a few moves he said he didn’t see
coming and he resigned on the 40th move. (I had only a minute left
on my clock for the last few moves so I was under extreme time pressure.)
I had the White pieces in the 2nd game and I
played The English Opening I’ve been studying lately. Unfortunately, he played the
Bc5 variation I’m not familiar with and got a strong attack. After making my 11th
move, I commented “I gave my move an exclamation mark (!)” and he replied,
“whatever you say”. After his next move I took his queen and he was shocked (I
should have only gotten his attacking Bishop). We played on for 9 more moves
before he resigned. It’s rare when I beat him twice in the same day.
It was only 12:45 so I took a Didi to Italian American Grill a short distance away. I had their chicken parmesan sandwich which was only okay. I should have had the Philly Steak or meatball sandwich, oh well, next time. I ate half the sandwich and got the other half to go.
My check came
to 59,500 pesos ($14.25).
Just as I was finishing Teresa left me a voice mail to meet
her and Monica in Mayorca mall for ice cream.
I walked a block to SurAmericana metro station and took the
metro (transferring at San Antonio station) to the Itagui station which is
right next to Mayorca mall.
I arrived at Crepes & Waffles about 10 minutes
before Teresa and Monica arrived 10 minutes after that.
Teresa and I each had the Suprema cup and Monica had a
waffle with ice cream. The total check came to just under 50,000 pesos.
After we finished, the ladies looked in a couple stores but
I was tired so we said goodbye to Monica and returned to our apt.
I checked google and it said I could safely eat the remaining
sandwich within 1-2 hours so I ended up throwing the rest away.
At 7pm I watched The Chris Hayes Show on MSNBC then
(probably a little too early) I started my pre-sleep routine. I ended up going
to bed at 9:30pm.
