When the Well is Dry...

I said in an earlier post that I'm craving for kare-kare. Well, my caring mom bought kare-kare from Max's last Tuesday and it was good. (But she was disappointed because she was expecting oxtail or "buntot".)

Just when you think that the well has dried up, water comes out.

So today, I had lunch with a client-friend at Banapple along Katipunan. I had corn chowder soup and some kind of pasta. He had ribs with hickory sauce.

Anyway, he offered me a consultancy job. I just have to name my price.

Great.

And today, a project came in from a research agency. The only thing is it's super rush. Due tomorrow! Ha ha. It's a good thing I'm used to working fast.

The only problem is I have a dinner date tomorrow and I will be fetched at 5:30 pm.

Oh, I will work things out. Maybe my friend and I will just order food for delivery and eat in the condo.

I feel much better already.

A Meeting, Dinner with Friends, and Work

Yesterday, I had a meeting with a new client. It lasted almost an hour. I'm being tasked to write a sample report. When I saw the data, it is indeed, not easy. Hope I will be able to do a good job.

Last night, I had dinner with friends at Little Asia in Tomas Morato. We had spring rolls, crispy fried chicken, combination chow mien, ebi tempura, and lengua in white sauce. Our balikbayan friend paid the bill.

Then, we had tea/drinks in a nearby coffee shop.

These friends are from the scriptwriting workshop of Mr. Nestor Torre way back in 1997. Long-lasting friendships are to be cherished!

Oh boy, the report I am being asked to do is quite difficult. I really hope I will be able to deliver.

More Note-taking/Dinner with a Friend

Today, I spent time taking down more notes from the book I borrowed. I am more than halfway through. It's different when you're typing something than when you're just reading it. You somehow get to absorb the material more.

In the evening, I went out with Jobert. We went to Super Bowl in Gateway. He ate vegetables (two kinds). I ate their Super Bowl special - yang chow rice with four kinds of toppings. We both had calamansi juice without sugar.

Jobert looks good! He must have lost a lot of weight already. He is on a strict vegetarian diet and has given up Coke Zero. I'm envious!

But I know I will be miserable on a diet of pure vegetables. Oh well, I will start by giving up or minimizing my Coke Zero. I shall also try to minimize my overall intake of food. Can I do it? No harm in trying.
