Been crying a lot lately.
Maybe I'm feeling overwhelmed these days and felt that there's no one to talk to so before I explode, I'm taking the time to write to you instead.
Maybe it's also because I recently don't get quality sleep and has been trouble getting asleep.
I'll fix first what I can do to sleep early.
Android game: Bridge Game
This is another time consuming game if you don't have anything to do. You basically get the bricks of your color and make the bricks you collected into stairs. It is a competition on who gets to the finish line the fastest.
However, I was pissed off with the load of advertisements.
How Many Minutes will you wait for an egg to be cooked as hard-boiled in an Induction Cooker/Stove?
I was curious to know if Mr. Google is right. I found out in my search that it will take 8-10 minutes. And so I took a little experiment. I used an induction 18 cm Neoflam pot and set it out at 1500W Boil setting. With the last 3 minutes, I've lowered it to 800W Hotpot setting. And this is the result:
It is correct!
Why Should We Apply Floor Wax?
It has been decades since I'd last applied floor wax on a floor. Last was when I was in high school. Whenever I'd go to school, I was almost always the one opening the school. I was very much early since I travel 6 municipalities to get to school. Jeepneys are like buses in the province way back. We have to make sure that we ride the 5 am or we would be late. get there at school at around would ride a jeepney that would came from a . It was creepy for a while then I would get bored and then since I had nothing to do, I would scrub the floor. Weird but I did. Hehe.
Anyway, why should we apply floor wax on the floor?
It's because we want to preserve the floor for having dents, scratches and for wood type, would waterproof somehow the floor. But of course not all floors are the same.
Worst experience with Kuya J's restaurant SM Sucat branch
It was really at the spur of the moment when I asked my mother that we go to Kuya J's restaurant to eat their special halo-halo as I know she loves it and she got giddy right away. We went there after she bought a lock since she will be taking a vacation soon.
We were seated and then were given a menu. I planned to have their halo-halo dessert only priced at 125 pesos but then later decided to have a sharing plate of their palabok for 239 pesos. It took a while before they took our order since they were quite busy clearing out plates and utensils. Finally, after I got the attention of a staff, we ordered and he asked if the halo halo was to be served now/immediately. I agreed. The staff said that our order will take 15-30 minutes and it was okay with me.
While waiting for our food, I was scrolling in the internet through my phone about the restaurant reviews (I dunno why, but I did anyway). I found that there were bad feedbacks for the SM Sucat branch. What I did not know that it was the universe saying that we would also share the same fate as them today.
Anyway, after 30 minutes, the palabok was the only one served. I was a bit confused because the waiter offered to have it now and there's no halo halo. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt and was thinking that maybe halo halo's were served a bit later since it was just 2 pm. Maybe they were producing it by batches? And so we ate the palabok first and waited for the halo halo. We finished the plate and I was browsing through my phone and reading stuff when my mom informed me that halo halos were served to other tables which came after us. I tried to get the attention of the other staffs but I don't know if they are just SO that busy that they weren't paying attention. Other tables were served and I was starting to get pissed off. But for the sake of being in the same service industry, I try to understand because it's not easy. I asked a staff who was near our table that we would like to follow up with the halo halo and requested for 2 glasses of water. After 10 minutes, none came. So I asked again the staff who took our order who by the way was near our table at the time that we would like to follow up with the halo halo and glasses of water since we don't have any in the table. After some time, we were too stunned to speak that we were given the bill! I checked inside if maybe our order was just palabok and lo and behold, the halo halo was also billed! I tried again to get the attention for quite a time and finally a waitress had come to our table. My mother began ranting to the server that we don't have any halo halo. (It's not her fault Mom!) The waitress got the bill and replied that it is because we asked for the bill which we did not! I try to contain myself as she didn't have to blurt it out without checking the issue. We didn't get any apologies either. We finally got our halo halo at 3 pm. And the water after asking for it again.
Is it because we weren't ordering the menu platter like the other tables have that's why they aren't paying attention? We were not new customers at Kuya J's restaurant and definitely satisfied with the good service at SM BF branch but this is a whole new level. Service from the fast food chains were much more better than here.
We won't ever go in that branch again. Sorry not sorry.
A spontaneous trip to Quiapo featuring Globe's Lumpia House!
Here's a story. Last Sunday, I had plans to just attend mass and go back home afterwards. But since my mom was saying that she was having dizzy spells consequently these past few days, I've decided to accompany her. She is scheduled to have her last booster shot for anti-rabies since she got bitten again by our own dog. She was trying to check if the dog has also eaten the antibiotic capsule in the liver and maybe the dog thought that she was going to take away the food so she got bitten. Again.
And so we went to the hospital in the afternoon. About 30 minutes of waiting outside the emergency room area and right after she'd finished her last shot, we've taken a UV express vehicle which was going to Quiapo. Aside with the intention to pick up her prescription glasses, we were supposed to go to Jolli Dada just beside the Quinta Market because I heard that it was a famous local eatery for their palabok and their halo halo and would like to try it out. We picked up her glasses first then we were on our way to Quinta market.
As we go along the way, we've purchased 1/4 kilogram of cooked peanuts for 50 pesos since my mother love to munch on these. We dropped by a native products stand located under the bridge where my mom purchased a 20 pesos stick which she says she can use to shoo away any animals that could harm our dog during their daily walks. We got inside the Quinta Market and asked where Jolli Dada was. We got there at 2 pm. Unfortunately, they were on a break and would resume at 3 pm. Aside from that, there were also a couple of people which was at least 10 persons which was a bit late for us because we will be also attending mass so we headed into Globe Lumpia's House instead which was near Raon. We were surprised that there was already a long queue and I've decided to be patient just to eat this again though I had my doubts. The last time I purchased the lumpia, I was disappointed because it was not really up to par with the taste that I used to have when it was still at 18 pesos. By the way, their lumpia costs around 30 pesos a piece now along with their Empanada which is also at 30 pesos. They are also selling brownies for 20 pesos and their special atchara at 80 pesos. The taste had improved but their lumpia wrapper is lousy. I hope they would be able to maintain the consistency because I've enjoyed their lumpia since I was still studying in college and it would be such a waste if their flavor had changed.
