Jojo's 34th




Yesterday was Jojo’s 34th birthday. I really intend to
celebrate it with him that’s the reason why I applied for a vacation leave week before this day. I almost forgot that Jojo’s birthday is on March 29 and since I was not able to file for a vacation leave in advance, I asked my supervisor if he could have it plotted manually. Good thing, the manual PTO was granted. Anyways, we woke up at around 9am, still not decided where to celebrate his birthday… I browsed through the net and found this restaurant in Timog called Tramway Buffet that offers “eat all you can buffet” for only P205! I was able to find so many blogs giving positive feedback about this resto so we were excited to try it. The venue is just near our place so it’s not hard for us to locate it. Although it’s already 12 NN, the buffet table is still empty. The server said that there has been some minor problems earlier that’s why they opened late today. She said it would just take around ten to fifteen minutes of wait. So I took this opportunity to take some pictures of the birthday boy and the restaurant itself. The ambience is nice, a typical Chinese resto. It didn’t take long until the are was jampacked with hungry people. All of us are waiting for that moment the servers will fill the buffet table with sumptuous food. And so the much awaited time finally came, people

jampacked around the buffet table eagerly wanting to fill their plates with good food. Jojo fall in line ahead of me. I don’t want to lose our table only to realize that it has already marked for us…phew. Anyways, I was overwhelmed by the variety of food options…there’s corn soup for appetizer and viands like roasted chicken, steamed siomai, friend siomai, grilled fish, sweet and sour pork, omelet, tulya and California maki platter. Vegetable salad and desserts like fresh watermelon and papaya as well as buko pandan are plenty. I got full only after two servings…waaah! After about two hours of stay in the restaurant, the damage is only P448 for both of us. That includes the buffet charge and a coke in can. Superb!

I really enjoyed our lunch together and to celebrate this day, I want us to watch a movie together. Weve learned that there is a P15 movie shown in SM Centerpoint so we hurriedly went there to try it. The movie is entitled Killers by Charlize Terron and Ashton Kutcher. Unfortunately, half of the movie has already been shown when we came in. At the end of the movie, the security guard told us that it is only a “one time viewing”. Watda! We just went home disappointed but still laughing for that experience. At least, we’ve learned our lesson. We want to make this a habit so we would make sure we first call the SM hotline to know what the available movies are and what time would it start just to make sure. We thought of going to quiapo to buy some DVD’s but since were already sleepy and tired, decided to call it a day.


Thank you for this day Lord. I’ve never been so happy with our date as compared to this day. I’ve learned to enjoy my husbands company and enjoy discovering things together. Lord I hope you would give us a million of happy discovery moments together. Amen.

Bitterness

I don’t know what to feel anymore… I feel so low today. I saw a message on my facebook page about this guy I’ve been dating before. Well I can’t really say it’s a romantic date, all I know is that we are always together at a certain period… Watching movies together, going to church together, doing almost everything together…it’s just that we never said the words I love you during those times…I admit, there is a certain feelings that grew deep inside me that I ignored for the longest time. I’ve only realized how much I wanted to be with him when I already resigned from the company where we both work. Just earlier today, our common friend and former officemate posted something on my wall asking me, him and another friend to have a get together…I would really love to see them again. After all, we used to be friends. Then another friend made a comment on my wall saying I look like his girlfriend now. At first, I was shocked. I didn’t know that he is into a serious relationship right now…...

Icey and Melai's Birthday Celebs at the Agogo

Image
Just two weeks ago, we celebrated two birthdays. Once is Icey's 22nd and the next is Melai's 26th. Both parties are held at Cafe Agogo along Julia Vargas Ortigas Pasig. Besides the fact that Cafe Agogo is just a few blocks away from our office - I think one thing that drives us back to that place is it's cozy ambiance. I mentioned on my previous posts that it is the best place to unwind and have a good laugh with your friends with their low lighted effect and their comfy chairs. The bar is not that crowded and the menu is also affordable. They have what they call "Happy Hour Promo" in which you could get 3 bottles of iced cold San Mig Light or two servings of Cosmopolitan for only a hundred bucks. My favorite breakfast treat Spanish Omelet costs me only P69 with free Iced Tea! Other dishes are also reasonably priced and tastes good as well. I once tried their Rosemary Chicken with Iced Tea for P169 and although it's not the best roasted chicken I've ever t...

No To Injustices

I hate those people who doesn't respect a person's right. Most likely it's because somehow I've been a victim of such. Three years ago, I used to work in a website company where my direct superior was my former colleague. To be honest with you, I accepted the job having faith that our professional relationship would not be affected by our personal relationship. Unfortunately that's not what happened. Things went from bad to worse that it came to a point where I just told her that I can't take it anymore and that I am resigning. She didn't take my resignation because of anger and instead called me up on the phone saying I was fired. What an injustice! I was very young then, I didn't know anything about the law and I didn't know any legal action I could make against the company regarding what happened. Good thing, there is such an organization called Protection juridique who provides legal assistance and information through phone. It is now easier for...
