Despedida Lunch and the Rooster

An officemate has resigned for "greener" pasture. This month alone, five have already tendered their resignation. The idea of earning "green bucks" is enough to tempt them to pack up their bags and fly. I wonder if they have considered that earning "green bucks" also meant spending "green bucks" when they are already there. Also, will their new income be enough to compensate for leaving their family here?

Coincidental, the day we treat him for despedida is also Ash Wednesday. Thus, the restaurant we should be dining in must offer dishes other than meat. (As if restaurants do not offer variety in their menu. hehehehe!) To top that, it is also the Chinese New Year. 2005 is the Year of the Rooster.

So, off we went to Saisaki at Glorietta where they offer Japanese dishes like tempura, teppanyaki, sushi, sashimi and teriyaki. They even have Angus beef and salmon. They are also known for offering buffet of Japanese cuisine at reasonable price.

Good thing, Saisaki offers several seafood dishes, especially for those who observe abstinence for the Lenten Season. Thus, I ate tempura, breaded crab meat and breaded crab sticks. The last two is new in their menu. I like the breaded crab sticks better. c",)

Oh! And I ordered ripe mango shake. That's when the rooster came in (with my drink). Cute, isn't it?

and who says that my job is enough to feed my family? a day doesn't go on without me thinking of leaving the country. but my kids are the only reason why i am still here. i don't know where my feet will lead me. but i hope that if ever given the chance, i would make a wise decision on this. meantime, i have to work extra hard for them kahit pagod na pagod na kahit nagkakasakit na. i guess i am just lucky that my ex's family is helping me out in raising my kids. rac, i know and i believe that your reasons for working abroad is noble and if given a choice you would do otherwise. nothing is easy in this world, just keep praying hard for you and your family. and pls be good na, ok. ~SeL
