Dining out is one of the best ways to build good relationships with fellow co-workers. Though in normal days, we could usually consume our breaks in different time with our usual circle of friends.
Thus one Saturday, we agreed to dine out in the nearest mall in our office, Ayala 30th. It was only a walking distance but they realized it wasn't that good idea as the sun was striking hot!
Past eleven in the morning . Yet, we just wanted to celebrate as after more than two long years, finally we are back to our normal working schedule. Reason to rejoice as that means additional income. Two more days or work was already a material amount to be added in our payslip (we are working on a per day basis.) Downside was, previous compress work week wasn't approved so we have to report. 8 hours per day, days per week.
Though this was a few minutes away in our office, I seldom drop by here. I just don't know, perhaps simply not used too.
This actually happened last Saturday of December so there was still Christmas décor.
Seems like I'm not the only one who is not used to roaming around here as there are only a few shopper goers. Yet, there was a renovation, extension of the LRT line so for sure in the next year, the market will boost.
What I like here was, there is an open area at the center of where a stage was set up for any event. Then, nearby were several restaurants with alfresco dining. Probably best to dine here at night or twilight for colder weather.
When the time I passed by, there is a schedule performing group.
Since some of my officemates are health conscious due to issues like cholesterol but at the same time we wanted an affordable meal, Kenny Rogers was the choice.
Unlike in other fast food chains, chickens here are roasted not fried. Even though I don't started to tone down eating deeply fried foods. Ah, just what my companions at work told me, learned from us.
Not only that but there are several menu which they called healthy plates.
Two of them ordered, no rice, just meat, some fruits and vegetables for veggies. Of course the muffins.
I also love chickens here, this is actually my favorite fast food but kinda pricey so I seldom dine here . Not on random normal days .
I was already pregnant during this time so these plates weren't enough for me. I need a cup of rice! Definitely.
Honestly, I find my order here too little . It feels like there is still available space for additional serving of.
Caught up in the thought, should I order an add-on? Yet my stomach was already grumbling! Besides, back in the days I had peaky tastes buds due to morning sickness.
So, I decided to settle on what I have on the plate. Well, I can buy again anything later ,
The lunch went well and we spent hours more than our breaks. We know that it will happen. That is why we chose Saturday as only a few concerns from Stores and Branches received.
While writing this blog, I came to realize this is one of the escapades I would miss in the next months. My Boss told me the other day how lucky I am to have another chapter in life. Yet, some thoughts lingered, doubting if that would really be the best? Should I make it? Hope so as what the husband said not all woman was given a chance to experience to be a Mother.
Thanks for dropping by till on the next blog.
