Philippines Holiday 3

Philippines – Food & Hot Weather ~

I’ve never appreciate my shower sessions ever so much before. Every drip of water that has contact with my body every second is somehow appreciated. Somehow the problem and the worry about not having hot water seems like it doesn’t matter here. Regardless of the fact that it is the rainy season here, it doesn’t add any sort of coolness. Somehow it is just wet and humid which is even worse than just a regular hot day.
All that doesn’t matter though, it’s all part of the excitement! I’ve been eating none stop everyday in the Philippines like the water from my shower I cherish the food too. Although it is weird, having KFC chicken with rice I still ate it, watching lily having chicken with spaghetti is even more odd, but she said it was good. I also love my all time boyfriend Jolibee, he doesn’t seem to mind that I cheat on him with Ronald McDonald. He, my little stinging friend, has weird food yet very yummy! It’s really funny how most of their food has Jolly written before each meal. Jolly hotdog, Jolly Spaghetti lol!

There’s also the famous dishes like sinigang, batchoy, palabok, adobo…from different restaurants.. mMmMmmm.

Congo Grille ~

Congo Grille, is famous for it’s Filipino food, efficiency and hospitality. We ordered ‘beer day’ as what it’s called. A waiter nervously comes up towards me and had given me the receipt and according to him, for the purpose of the promo, I am entitled to fill out the receipt with details for further promo crap. I thought “oh okay cool free beer one day!” so I trusted this and obviously filled it out.
The next day I received two text messages from two different waiters of congo grille. With this idiotic act they clarified that they were waiters working there, even mentioned their names. I felt so violated, it may seem shallow but this is infringing my privacy! It is a very petty act. It is a very stupid way of getting my number. I was furious! And then I calmed down and complained to the branch of the restaurant explaining my point of view, in a calm and reasonable tone. I do not wish for them to be fired, I just informed the restaurant of their action to avoid doing this with other customers. Aggghh.
The messages weren’t even sweet or smooth or anything! “hello po.. how are you?, Im *TOOT* from congro grille the tall waiter, you know na?” -_- pick which language you want to speak man! What does he expect me reply? “ay, no I don’t know you eh, who ikaw ba? Hindi me know you.” *asian accent* -_- seriously? I tried calling him the first time to know who he was, he was too chicken to even answer his phone. The second time he answers it then hangs up. Very brave move… I see progress here. He doesn’t seem to know the concept of conversing. “hello gerlee how are you na?” another number said. -_- ><’ “hi, boyee, Im okay lang, how is you na?” maybe I should have said that. Lol.

Karaoke ~

I am officially 99% good of a singer according to timezone. LOL! They have Karaoke in timezone! LOL! HAHA. It’s hilarious they have their own little cubicle sort of thing/ room. With a limit of four people only. HEHE. It was embarrassing as the walls were glass -_- everyone was staring at my tonsils isn’t that great? LOL.
