what's what?

We dined-in at a restaurant last Friday. We were just too lazy to cook. It was also Irvin’s first time at that place. I can’t exactly remember how long but I think it’s been over a year that I haven’t been there. And to my disappointment, I wasn’t really that satisfied with the food…the serving got smaller, the pancakes got thinner and I think the food was dry. Irvin didn’t like his food too. We just had to eat it for we were hungry and we don’t want to waste the $25. Haha!

Finally, we were able to return the cutlery tray to Sears on Saturday. I brought Irvin to Baja Fresh…a Mexican restaurant serving fresh burritos, quesadillas and salads. Before taking a bite, Irvin said… ‘if this tastes good, definitely meron tayong babalik-balikan’. Well, he liked it. And imagine spending $16 for a sumptuous meal like that! We also rented some Filipino DVDs… Aishite Imasu (a love story during WW2), Don’t give up on us (a love story between two people in two different worlds), and Mano Po III (finding a long lost love and dealing with an arranged marriage).

Irvin hasn’t found a job yet and he said it from the start that he’s willing to temporarily do some odd jobs if that’s what is available. Previously, he has inquired from ‘this’ freight services company when I brought him to Roosevelt Ave. where a lot of Filipino stores, restaurants and banks are. I have to be honest that I don’t like the pay they’re offering. It’s way too low and seems like they’re taking advantage just because you don’t have a choice. I think it was almost two weeks later when they called Irvin who in turn has decided to give it a try. I think yesterday was the longest day of my life. I was home alone for 10 hours. All I did was watched DVDs, cleaned up the house, took a bath and slept. I’m just no longer used to be not with him on weekends.

faye, parang alam ko yung 'freight' company na sinasabi mo, hehe.

hay naku, i am familiar with tales of very low or meager pay dyan sa roosevelt just cause may nangangailangan ng work. :( wag ka mag-alala, simula pa lang naman diba.

hi, abby! thanks for dropping by. kaya nga mysterious ang dating eh. mahirap na baka makasuhan pako ng libel. haha! but seriously, naiinip na kasi si irvin ng walang ginagawa kaya kahit maliit at di nya talaga linya, sige na lang. anyway, we both agreed that he'll continue to look for an office job. how are you by the way? tc.
