Pido's Grill

We were again treated by an old classmate to a SuTuKil experience for dinner at Pido's Grill along Hernan Cortes St.  This was a reunion of 23 friends in Cebu, of course with a lot of drinking and merriment.  Food was good--grilled scallops, marlin & tuna, stuffed ampalaya (bitter gourd), grilled bagaybay (tuna innards), pork belly and beef sinigang (tamarind soup).  We had time to reflect on how fast time flies--my classmate's eldest son is now almost 30 years old, and it was only yesterday that we played baseball (to achieve easier home runs, we used a tennis ball) and flew kites together (his Magnolia kite flew the highest).  By some stroke of coincidence, we had a lot of sports to talk about, as the golfers had just come from rain-drenched play in Club Filipino-Danao.  Moreover, the TV featured the Smart-sponsored exhibition game with the NBA all-stars (as in Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Derek Rose) and the Philippine Azkals would be up against the Kuwaitis in a few hours (we stayed up to 3am to watch this, but unfortunately the Philippines lost 3-0).  Thanks to great company (with a little help from San Miguel and Johnny Walker), it was very enjoyable evening!
