Mr. Coffee

Saturday night, I decided to go out. I have wi-fi at home but all of a sudden, I wanted to go out. Have coffee and bring my laptop with me. It has been months that I am wanting to visit a new coffee shop near my place. It’s called Mr. Coffee. It is not like the other famous Coffee Bean or Starbucks. They have several branches already. If you’re familiar with Cebu, then you must be familiar with Mr. Coffee also. This one that I am in right now is only a few steps away from my house.

The price is cheaper compared to others. The place is very nice. They have couches, tons of magazines and newspapers. Most importantly, they have wi-fi. They also have a flat screen tv which is showing the concerts of some known foreign artists like Bon Jovi, Beatles and Black Eyed Peas. The shop is being managed by 2 crews. One who is the head of the counter (takes care of your order) and the other crew outside the counter (who takes care of your needs (condiments, etc.)

They have yummy food too. Pasta, Breakfast (which they serve all day), sisig, gambas, breaded pork chops, etc. They have cookies also. Their drinks are super okay also. I ordered their belgian blended creme. It is a cold chocolate drink, coffee-free!! Sarap! I ordered 2. LOL.

This store is open from 6am and closes 2am. If you entered the shop at 6am, used their wi-fi, you can stay in the shop until it closes and enjoy it’s wi-fi all through-out. Very nice.

I will definitely go back here or to any of their branches. =)

WHATTADAY!!

Husband decided to take a time off from work. He has been sleeping all day. While me, I’ve been out of our house for almost the whole day.

I had a very long day. Tiring day. Draining day. Got an invite for a job interview at 2pm. Finished around 330pm. They asked me come back 8 in the evening for another round of grammar-english draining conversation. My migraine is in the house again when I got home. It’s was trying to kill me. Fortunately, I still have my doze of my friend paracetamol. But this friend always gets me groggy everytime it’s in my system. I fell asleep. For 2hrs.

7pm, I started to prepare again for my 2nd interview. I arrived at exactly 8pm. Other applicants we’re in the venue also. Soon enough, the lovely HR people and interviewers arrived. They started calling names. I patiently waited in my seat. Patiently… Patiently!!

1130pm, they called my name. Take note, I started waiting 8pm. Nice, no? They directed me to the person assigned to me. And the 2nd round started. It lasted for an hour. My head is spinning and the killer headache is attacking again. I can’t even remember how I got back to my seat..

Soon, they called my name again. One of the HR person told me that I passed the interview. I can’t remember how I reacted. I just realized they’re saying that I am overqualified for my current position but underqualified for the higher position. However, they will still schedule me for an interview with their Site Director and he/she will decide which position they will put me into. So, I agreed. They told me to wait for a call tomorrow or next week because they still have to check the available time of the Director.. I said okay.

I then saw myself riding a cab already heading back home. Husband is already waiting me. But the headache is killing me. So, I took a paracetamol again. After 30mins, I felt okay.

So we went out to get super late-dinner/super early-breakfast. We got the big breakfast from Ila Puti. Yummy!!

Now, we’re home again and now ready to hit our bed. I can now feel I’m tired and sleepy. I can only thank God for the endurance and strength he is giving me.

What a day!!

MY 2010 BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

As I have blogged on my earlier post, August is my birthday month. August 4, to be exact. I was expecting something from my husband. A birthday or a a very generous dinner date, maybe? Haha! But since he cannot take a leave on his work, we agreed to celebrate the whole week. Like dinner the other day, then tomorrow, dinner again. he wants to make sure I will have a taste again of my favorite restaurants on my birthday.

1st stop: The non-dying Ayala Mall (Cebu). Husband went to work early so he can go out for a lunch break at around 8pm. I fetched him in the office then we went off to RED KIMONO. My favorite Japanese restaurant. We decided to take the table outside. The weather was kind of gloomy and air was cold. very nice to have a dinner. *wink* After the dinner, husband got to be back in the office already or else, he will get a memo from the Guard for over break.

2nd stop: The next day, we had dinner again in the famous IT Park of Cebu -- one of our favorites - EAST WEST. We had their yummy pork chops, potato joe (it's like potato wedges) and their iced coffee. Our experience in there was always good, ever since. Except for this one that several foreigners were occupying the 3 tables. They're having dinner too! They pissed me off, literally. After they had dinner, they played truth or consequence. They we're so loud. So noisy. Up to the point that me and my husband had a very hard time hearing each other. I can say that they they are the most "bastos" race I have ever encountered. Shet sila! I asked one of the waiters to let those aliens know that they're so loud. The waiter just nodded at me. I bet he didn't tell them since they are all English speaking. So, dedma! The hell with them. But they ruined our dinner date. I just hope next time, there is a Manager in the restaurant to manage the floor and the customers.

3rd stop: One of nice restaurants in (again!) IT Park. ROMA MIA. Husband ordered their famous grand father pork chops. I ordered their roasted chicken in herbs. And plus their vanilla shake. Yummy!!!

And the fairest of them all?? We had an overnight stay in Waterfront Hotel. Had dinner at PINO. We really enjoy their buffet food. Everytime we have extra money, we go there. The food is Filipino cuisine. The crew is great. The place is perfect. We ended our stay in the hotel with their buffet breakfast the next day. Super yummy! We really enjoyed it. I can say that husband really want to make sure he is eating every miles points that he has for our stay there. LOL. The reason why we also decided to get a hotel room for my birthday was to have our 2nd honeymoon. Since we didn't really had a decent honeymoon after our wedding, we didn't push through with our supposedly week-long Hongkong vacation due to lack of funds. Haha!

But! Just after we ate, I rushed to our hotel room because my stomach was acting up. Oh my gosh! LBM. So funny. Husband went back to our room after like 15mins. Rushing to get in the comfort room as well. LBM!! We we're laughing! We we're very happy. 12pm, check out time. Our tummy's still acting up. And now, while I am writing this, we are still in pain. Taking turns in using the comfort room. Haha! This is what we call "katakawan!"












Happy birthday to me. Thank you Hun for my birthday treat! I love you!
