my complicated life

a memo has been released in hubby's office requiring them to wear polo's at work and shirt IF and ONLY IF they would have to go on-site. with that, problemado ang mokong because he has a few sets of clothes. he claims he doesn't need as much clothes, more so branded ones as he has face value which far more important than these. may point siya. although may pagka-mayabang nga lang. hehe.

anyhow, we went out tonight in search for polo along the shops in Najda Street. we were able to bump into Bong (a choirmate) along the way. our first stop has been the newly-opened RED TAG store. it was were Sana store used to stand. my hubby was able to get himself a checkered- and blue-colored polo. blue na naman!!! yep, yep. ewan ko ba, all his polo shirts were of blue in different shades. he prefers light-colored clothes. ngayon, pati ako nai-impluwensyahan to convert from the flashy dark-colored fanatic to a subtle light-colored gal. ang nagagawa nga naman ng pag-aasawa. hehe.

after Red Tag, we went to the old Sana store located at the far end of Najda St. found nothing that tickles our fancy though, so we left. it was a long walk to and from that shop so we decided to eat in the Lebanese resto which we nicknamed "the garden". =) meron kasi siyang kainan outside its enclosed area and it has trees all over and the open space gives. a non-choking ambience. hanep sa desc. it simply means, it's along the street and dusts can freely season your food without you feeling bothered. =)

he ordered grilled chicken with hommos while i requested for a chicken shawarma. while waiting for our orders, we heard an explosion of some sort somewhere outside the kitchen area of that resto. dedma lang kami. then, we saw some resto staffs splashing the outskirts of the resto where the stove(?)/aircon(?) area was. we weren't sure what really the thing that was burning eh. as soon as our orders arrived, we heard another explosion. this time, it was quite louder than the first one. then, fire broke off the oozes out to the exhaust atop the building!!! grabe, it was so shocking!!! everyone panicked, including us! my hubby snatched me up. i stood up, with my shawarma at one hand, and rushed with him to a farther area. within the vicinity pa rin naman, safe but near enough to view what was happening. hehe. mga uzi ba. for the third time, i was so inis i left my jam again at home. kainis talaga! another mega event left undocumented! hehe.

soon after, firetrucks came. some splashing here and there. so exciting! hehe, sama ko. while i was munching my shawarma, i watched how the firemen conquered the blazing fire. gleng-gleng! =) they were able to bring the building down to cooler temperature after about 15 minutes. my hubby and i approached back the waiter of the resto. my hubby offered to pay for the bills, etcheng lang yun syempre. hehe. but then, the waiter with a permission from the resto owner did not let us pay the meal. a fireman smiled at us and said sorry for disturbing our supposed-to-be quiet dinner. hehe. no problemo, sir! =)

we trodded back along the length of Najda St. and came to National Cinema. i urged my hubby to check out the new chinese resto. it was at the 2nd floor of the said building. we entered, got curious, and ordered a hotpot! =) it was OK, not the usual food we eat here. however, hotpot restos in Manila were far better. syempre, pinoys were very particular with food eh so they better be good. anyhow, we were still able to enjoy the joy of cooking at one's table. the plok-plok of the soup, the meat slices, the seafood thingy. for 25AED dinner, it was not bad after all.
