Food Trip

Last night, I had dinner with my girlfriend for some some bonding moments. We ate in a restaurant in Eastwood and had a nice time. The place has great ambiance, service was okay and the food was great. We ordered Bangus Sisig, Kilawin Tanigue, Oysters in Pesto cheese (yum, yum!) and Grilled Liempo. Everything was okay for my taste except for the Grilled Liempo which I find too sweet and too fatty not to mention overly grilled. Hey, did I mention that the beer was also affordable? And to finish the night, we decided to indulge ourselves (as if we haven't had enough) in having a Banana Split and Brownie Fudge Blizzards at Dairy Queen.

Who says girls don't eat like King Kong? Bwahaha....!

Faith or Fear

Deciding on something big is honestly something that frightens me. I've noticed that as I grow older & enter adulthood, I become less and less adventurous. Is this normal or expected for someone reaching the middle age or is it just me?

Lately, I've been dwelling on making major changes in our lives. The thought of it makes me excited and optimistic but at the same time it makes me afraid. Quoting Jim Paredes, "should I invest in my faith or invest in my fears?"

Questions that only I could answer.

F4 The Rise of the Silver Surfer

The excitement begins early in the movie as the chase between the Silver Surfer and the reluctant Johny aka "Human Torch" takes place. He was reluctant because he was wearing an expensive suit to the wedding and it would be a waste just to burn it. But duty calls and off he goes. Personally, I find the movie okay and with the right touch of humor. And as a first time watcher of Fantastic 4, I was able to follow right away the different characters. The ending was not what I really expected though.

On the Road

Ever since school started, I was back to my chosen profession.... the designated driver of my kids. My day starts at 5:30 am wherein I bring the 2 eldest kids to their different schools. Noontime is spent bringing my third son to his preschool and at 3 pm, I shuffle fetching everybody from their schools. We are all home by 4 pm. This schedule makes me on the road most of the day.

Driving the streets of Manila can somehow leave you insane. Almost all the main streets, were jammed. Potholes can be seen everywhere. The traffic advisory seems no help to me since I always happen to listen to it just when I am already stuck in traffic.

So what do you need to bring with you before heading the city roads? A bag of patience and a lot of music CDs.
