SLEEPLESS IN BAKAL II

The virus came and stole the night as it went despite the assurance of a second dose that was initially compromised by hypertension and IATF rules, the imminent rejection unexpectedly reversed by The Good Doctor whom Dr. Carly Lever allowed to touch her breast in Season 3, the nocturnal restlessness persisting when another Good Doctor failed to touch Dr. Cha Yoon-seo's chest in Episodes 16-20 because Kotaro Lives Alone in Shimizu where Shin can touch Mizumi's bust only through his manga drawings.

Yet still, Tuesday's beer, tokwa't baboy, menudo and inihaw na bangus failed to reel in slumber and neither did the tiim na bibe of an alcohol-free Wednesday as prohibition cancelled a special performance of the Sweet Girl from Pittsburg for the Thursday Group whom the pandemic has reduced to a duo.

Beckett fled to Spain after being scammed by the Greek police and the US Embassy in Athens, punching his way through the inclines of Rincon de la Victoria and Valdepenas de Jaen, sprinting with the fast men in Cordoba and Villanueva de la Serena, climbing to Pico Villuercas and El Barraco while in Bakal 2, The Phantom Biker reintroduced Bulan to the trails, their weekly tour abbreviated by a 2nd jab of AstraZeneca and an unexpected morning shower, the week that was concluding with pangat na tilapia and the musky smell of black panties etched in a canvass of orange lace. 

LIBERATION

The Bonfire of Destiny raged untended as the battle of the Vuelta's fast men shifted from Burgos and Albacete to Molina de Aragon and La Manga del Mal Menor before the climbers were unleashed in the slopes of Picon Blanco and Balcon di Alicante, the maillot rojo changing hands in Alto de Cullera and staying put in Alto de Velefique as the virus was excised through C-section in Season 2 by The Good Doctor in his first ever surgery with a Good Doctor from Seoul assisting in Episodes 11-15 who also castrated Dr. Jackson Han's ego and Dr. Kim Do-han's temper in the process. 

Vuelta 2021 will skip upscale Madrid for the sake of Valeria's Castilianized Season 2 of "Sex and the City" with special appearances from the plucky women of Paris, Adrienne de Lenverpre and Alice de Jeansin of the French gentry with Rose Riviere representing the commoners, Val's pink nipples salved with a celebratory feast of gising-gising, tokwa't baboy, calamares and crispy pata in Bakal 2 to mark the end of quarantine.  

The Phantom Biker is free and the biking trails are his again, the Thursday Specials resurrected with an instant dinakdakan and an evening shower that stirred the hard teats of a pneumatic breast to press through a black dress that cracked open a downpour on Saturday night...

SUNDAY THE 13th

It was actually Si-on, The Good Doctor of San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital, who harvested a viral RNA from the Gemini Man on the day of St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori's death at the operating room of the Sungwon University Hospital where Shaun was cloned as a Good Doctor and designated as the assisting surgeon of Season 1.     

But Tony Lip is more than A Fortunate Man having lunched on KFC in Kentucky which teleported Dr. Sheldon Hawkes and Montana to New York City from Episode 16 of the Green Book where Don Shirley's piano concerti depicted a foursome in Copenhagen with Peter Sidenius, Lisbeth, Jakobe and Inger of Jutland as the main characters.  

They were outstanding surgeons but after 10 episodes, it was the diagnosis of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind that sent Dr. Kim Do-han to Kusungu for an anger management therapy while in Bakal 2, St. Clare of Assisi performed the miracle of the Innova Rapid Antigen Test a day after she died, the single line next to "C" making up for two missed Thursdays with a hasty bowl of dinakdakan on a Saturday night when the dance of Corylus resumed.      

Elsewhere, Remco Evenepoel won a second rate tour in Frederiksberg on the same day that Primoz Roglic announced himself in Burgos for the 76th Vuelta a Espana to fete The Phantom Biker's recovery of his taste buds which resurrected the sugar in the tocino, the tartness of the sinigang and the pungence from the daing. 

On August 15, the Blessed Virgin Mary died and went to heaven, India proclaimed its independence, Janis Joplin performed at Woodstock, "The Wizard of Oz" premiered at Grauman's Chinese Theater, and Joao Almeida triumphed in Krakow to mark Pugad Baboy's 13th day of quarantine.         

THE 5TH DAY OF QUARANTINE

Ashin of the North sliced through Morocco's Blood Red Sky to face off with Nadja and the vampires who guard a garden of resurrection plants for The Unknown Saint in the Sahara Desert, overwhelmed but able to flee to Hanyang with a sprig that revived those who fell from the plague in the Kingdom of Baloc where the Crown Prince chased the Queen Consort through a reprise of Rurouni Kenshin and the The Beginning of Battosai's ballad about "This Little Love of Mine" which narrated a tragic love story in the village of Otsu along Sapphire Cove.

Chernobyl 1986 then detonated over Bakal 2 and to protect her Family History from the fallout, The Last Mercenary donned a double mask and unleashed the powers of The Mist to expunge the viral RNA from Pugad Baboy which have stolen flavors from the nilaga, bulalo, adobo, sinigang and ginisang monggo; piquancies which she endeavoured to reclaim through a potent brew of hybrid salabat, the assurance of a virtual clinician from Baguio, and tender loving care. 

In Boulogne, the Phantom Biker's magical encounter with Alexey Karpushin of Ukraine and Alex Dela Cruz from Manila conjured a tray of vol-au-vent for Valentin Kretz of The Parisian Agency in gratitude for two negative nucleic acid amplification tests, and to mark the 5th of a 14-day quarantine.

POSITIVE VIBES

Jagame Thandhiram.

And indeed, the universe is a ruse like the The Last Letter From Your Lover that was posted from Madurai to London where recipes for St. Lucia's lion fish ceviche, Marsaxlokk's salt-crusted fish and Tai O's XO sauce shrimp were enciphered and delivered by Bulan for Suruli and Ellie's parotta restaurant.

But it was during a breakfast of smoked white fish from Tobermory  when J first met Boot whom she invited for a lunch of Tamarindo's mahi-mahi that culminated in a tryst at the coat room of Restaurants on the Edge right after the old bridge in Matingkis after a dinner of schnitzel three ways from the kitchens of Pettneu.

In Tokyo, Ljubljana mussels powered Primoz Roglic to the ITT Olympic gold as the Phantom Biker soothed a chaotic innoculation day with grilled salmon from Okanagan Valley and Muskoka trout, Atilla struggling between a sandwich board from Turku and Kona's Big Island tuna, Rory stuck in Fountain Hills with Borderland tacos, and Bulan riding through a canopy of bamboo and soft rain.

There were only three days of biking but it was enough for Hidilyn the Great to finally secure the Philippines' first ever Olympic gold medal plus a sure silver and bronze from Nesthy and Marcial before Thursday's escabeche and Firday's adobong salagubang ushered the age of positivity in Pugad Baboy...
