stubbies

1. Misato at Metrowalk is a good place for a family meal. Just order the I LOVE TEMPURA (but be careful not to say I LOVE YOU to the waiter lest he drop the tray), crazy maki, the sukiyaki and the tofu ----- they're pretty big servings so GO.

2. I really like the priests who say mass at Sta. Maria Della Strada at 530 PM. Fr. Roche (Papa Joe Roche ---- heehee!) may sound like he's always angry, but he's so lucid. He gives you something to stand on so the jump (uy, hindi leap) towards faith isn't so scary. Fr. Bernas likes to make things quick and simple ---- but I do wonder why he was in a hurry last Sunday.

3. Sweet Inspirations, Katipunan has good mango cream pie but the salpicao --- not so good.

4. There's this tiny Chinese restaurant in Rockwell called Spring Moon which has siomai that's just packed. Yung wala kang makakagat na hangin. The manager can also recommend good dishes too.

5. I think being nice to your waiters is important, but telling them if they suck is vital too. And that goes for anyone who's doing something you can do for yourself, even if you are paying them to do it. I can't lift it to the point of nation, but hey i didn't try to teach Germans how to build a better bottling plant.

6. The Ateneo CAF still does good turon. And they sell this rum cake now which is just good. Damn it. i'm getting the freshman 20...uh....ewan.

7. The tea brand Dilmah is good. flavor rocks and it does keep you up without the shakes of coffee. the smiling bearded middle eastern man on the box is a plus too. I've tried the Moroccan Mint and the Vanilla Ceylon, they're both true to their names.

8. Mongkok is pretty good Chinese take-out. The branch outside la vista is bracing for the opening of the chowking at the petron. The Petron will open on the 16th of November.

so non sequiturs and such.

NING out.
