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...
