A date with friends
Tuesday—we had an impromptu lunch out in the office. To the famous but “secret” quaint mini-restaurant just across the street—Casita de Viman. It took a while before our food was served but we distracted ourselves with picture taking all over the quite small venue. We were lucky though because we were the only group there. We had time and the place to ourselves. We had a chance to do whatever we wanted. And we did. So Kleng had a tryst with a ceramic chef. I ironed my clothes while wearing them. Pearl went ala-Rizal and read a book under a mini lamp (which wasn’t working). Pau served tea with a mini tea set. Jack wrapped a shawl on her shoulders and posed as a high-class shopper. Bambi tried out the merchandise all at the same time. Izza had feathers covering her eyes for Mardi Gras effects. And, Reezy stood as a de-masked masquerade ball party-goer. Our lunch of chicken in a pot, grilled chops, rosemary chicken and beef salpicao—plus extra rice servings!--was a success.
Our own little party of pictures and scrumptious food was a temporary reprieve from the monotony of work. But the hour-short lunch break was too short, as breaks from work always are. With heavy hearts, and apparent heavy tummys, we strode back to the office. But with big, toothy grins on our faces. Obviously very satisfied and happy with the short but wonderful lunch out with the girls. Another day almost over.
