Teriyaki and Nuggets

Am home alone this weekend. Chief is spending the weekend at her home in Cavite. Me? Thesis sessions with my CFAD students tomorrow and some blogging tonight. And will watch the anniversary episode of “Bubble Gang.” Hehe.

Manny picked up Chief at our Greenhome in the heart of Legazpi Village. They dropped me off at McDonald’s Greenbelt 1 where am now having dinner. Having Chicken Nuggets and Spaghetti and Coke Zero, without ice, inside the “Hamburger Room” here at McDonald’s. But the lights are much brighter here to get some online work done.

Really would have wanted to eat at Teriyaki Boy tonight, but Chief and I have eaten there lately… most recently, last night. Like before, I got Ika Fry... really just deep-fried squid. Guess, we just miss having lunch at our favorite “Sushi Bar” a Japanese restaurant in Saigon, where one could have unlimited miso soup. At Teriyaki Boy a cup costs 40 pesos. We would rather buy the frozen soup at a Japanese store at Waltermart. Hehe.

I know I have not seen Chief’s parents for the past couple of months nor have visited my own mom for the past few weeks. Work should really not be a reason to spend time with our parents. Really do need a better work and life balance. Plus, exercise too!

But by Sunday morning, I promised to take Chief out for a date.
