I woke up around sunset, as usual. It's Sunday - no work, no responsibilities. I usually celebrate my Sundays with my partner eating out, oh wait lemme correct that, eating good food that would make my weekend complete and be refreshed for the week ahead.
I was bugging him to eat at Outback Steakhouse for weeks now. It's expensive but I really wanted to taste their tasty BBQ ribs again. Imagine my joy when he said we'll eat there today (today in this case is Sunday).
Immediately I freshened up, put on my best clothes, and in a flash, I was ready to go. He, however, was taking his time but he told me we'll leave at 8:20 PM so okay, I was willing to wait.
8:20 PM came but he's still not ready. At this point, I figured we should take a taxi to go to Ikebukuro, where the restaurant's located. The taxi's on me, after all, it's me who really wanted to dine there. We left at 8:40 PM, took a taxi, and arrived at Ikebukuro at 8:59 PM. Looking at the store time, the restaurant will close at 10 PM and the last order is at 9 PM.
Took the elevator to the 7th floor, entered the restaurant and the staff said, the last order time had passed so they could not accommodate us anymore. Checked my watch, it said 8:59 PM. WTF?
A minute too late 😵
I'm not really the type of person who will contest the decision of other people unless I'm in the mood to fight.
So yeah, I went back to the elevator without saying anything. My heart was too broken to say anything. Sure there will still be more chances in the future but my mind was already set to eat there at that time. It's not all the time that my partner is willing to go to Ikebukuro to dine, he said it's far from home. And I paid for the taxi fare!
Who should I blame? What should I blame?
Should I blame my partner for his actions causing us to leave the house late? Should I blame the taxi driver for not speeding up? Should I blame myself for waking up late? Or should I just blame myself for not going there alone and kept convincing my partner to go with me?
I don't really like to play the blaming game. So I'm trying to accept this as part of fate. And well, it sucks.
Thanks for reading!
See you around! じゃあ、またね！

Was the reason of your partner reasonable enough for him to not yet be ready to go as planned? If yes, then you just have to let go and try again next time. If not then IDK. Hahahaha! Pag ako yan Away na lang. Yung kain na kain ka na tapos waaaaaa! LOL
I feel you @wittyzell my fellow foodie buddy!
!PIZZA
Iba kasi pag foodie noh, parang naguguho ung mundo pag di ma satisfy yung cravings mo! charot di pa naman ako umabot sa ganung point 😂
My partner just don't want to be rushed all the time kaya ayown hahaha
There is no one to blame in such situations. A little bit of bad luck and a little bit of bad timing. I mean, it's his fault if he says we're going out at 20.20 and your partner isn't ready yet. These things always disappoint me a lot too. Because I like to make plans and it really bothers me when it breaks down. Especially when your partner or your friend doesn't care.
That's true. That's why I hate making plans with him in advance. It's always impromptu when I'm going out with him. I always need to adjust my thinking whenever I'm with him. That's okay with me sometimes, sometimes it's not.
Next time, plan everything yourself and ask him to follow it. Maybe things will work out that way.
I did that before, and still got disappointed 😒
How? Didn't he fit into your plans? Or is he late again ?
Couldn't remember but most of the time, the plans I make failed
That makes me sad. I hope everything will be as you wish. Have a nice day!
That's sad. To not satisfy your cravings are truly disappointing and annoying. Perhaps it happened because there's a good place much better than the Outback Steakhouse.
Love your mindset miss!
Aha! Watch out for part 2. The disappointment didn't end here.
What mindset? 🤔😏
awww... Make plans to go with your girlfriends next time 😉
I guess I should do that.. I just really wanted to bring my partner there.
Hope you and your boyfriend didnt have a fight after this Miss @wittyzell . . If it were me, mag-lood2x jd ko ug maau.😅
It could have been a great date. ☺️ Set nlng mu laing date Miss @wittyzell .
We didn't fight about it but nanglood ko nya on other things 😅
Yeah no choice, next time na lang jud. Unta maka adto
OMG, that's quite sad, there's no need to blame anyone, next time you could plan to go alone, snice your really the one craving their BBQ, ❤️❤️
It's nice to go alone too but I really like to bring him there~
Hello, you are my new friend. I wish you'll have a great dinner with your bf soon
Thank you! We went to another place but it's a story for another day~
I will blame fate in such kind of case to console myself if i were you .
It's part of life and such kind of incident occur with us several times . we need to accept it.
Anyway what does "じゃあ、またね！" mean?
Yeah in this case, no choice but to accept what fate brought to me
じゃあ、またね！ means see you around 🙂
Ahhh~ It was frustrating. I can feel it while reading the article. There will always be a next time witty witz!
It's really sad and what will happen next (abangan!) is also frustrating 😒
Imagine day dreaming about eating those juicy steaks, the burst of flavour all over your mouth. Literally like a pregnant woman's craving and you don't want to disappoint this craving.
Yeah sure, I find it hard to believe you're ever in a mood to fight. You always happy😂🎊
On the bright sideyou both spent some quality time getting ready and shared some moments in the Taxi. Let's dwell on that positive note.❤️Another weekend approaches, this time it'll work out🍖🥩
It's okay, next time, I hope there's a next time though.I was already ready to eat like a madman @queenstarr 🥲
😇 The mood to fight happens so rarely.
Aigoo..kakastress yan...ikain mo na lang yan without jowa...(para fair saming single 🤣)
But wait, wake up at sunset? So panu yun? Gising kaluluwa mo buong gabi kc hndi kna makakatulog nun? Tapus work the next day 😅 .
Hahaha! Lagi akong mag isa kumain actually, kaya gusto ko naman mag date kami dun 🥲
Yeah I'm awake the whole night LOL
so my sleep is so messed up 😁
Ako nga nilibang nlng online..mag isa din kasi haha
Ganyan din naman ako hahhaha
Wow thanks sa pa tip @jane1289 💕
Ako naman ang nagutom wanting to see that Bbq Ribs nila huhu. Maybe there's better for you next time miss witty. Ika nga mapaglaro ang tadhana.
Pero sayang talaga haha. Tagay nalang yarn😅
Tagay na lang talaga 🥲 Sayang talaga pero sige na lang. Di talaga itinadhana e
May part 2 papo pala yan😅..
Hahaha uu meron
It happens sometime !
Life is like that - sometimes it doesnt work smootly according to our plans .
But whatever happens , happens for something good .
Don’t worry , I wish you have a chance soon to eat there!
😀
Yeah I sure hope so! It's just sad it turned out like this.
Yes agreed ! But yea next time it would not happen probably !
Good luck✨😊
Same here, I will be heartbroken because I am all set for that specific time, the thought of going back again is not very much welcome. And yeah, just accept it as art of faith. Imagine, nasa place ka na tapos ganun and mangyayari, lalo na gustong-gusto ko and food, nakakainis na nakaka-disappoint, managing laman sya ng isip ko for how many hours pag ganun, managing masaya lang ulit ako pag naka-kain na ako dun sa place na gusto ko.
TRUE! Kaya next time, if there's a next time hopefully, aagahan na namin para d mataboy~
Ouch! All the excitement, the craving, and in the end it was 1-minute too late... That sucks big time!
It was really unfortunate but well, hopefully next time we won't be late~ if there's a next time
Sorry to hear that! Thanks for writing. I learned a lesson.
Nevertheless, have a wonderful week!
It's okay. Hopefully there would be a next time~
Thanks! You too, have a wonderful week!
U woke u0 late and suddenly asked ur partner to go to Ikebukuro. 😂 I ain't pointing fingers but there's a saying "The early bird gets the ribs" lol
HAhahaa! Noooo that's not what happened. Woke up late, he also woke up late. I didn't tell him about Ikebukuro. He brought it up. But I've been telling him for weeks about it already. 😂
But yeaaah we should wake up earlier next time
Really nothing could have been done. Just bad luck😢💔
That’s true. Just one of those sad days.. 🙁
Haha all the blames game, at first i thought about blaming your partner for. Not keeping up to time, but on second thought nahhhh i think if you want something you gatta go get it.. Try taking yourself out to dine there alone instead of waiting for your partner to take you there.. If you want something done you gatta do it yourself...
That's true too but I always do that when he has work. I really want to dine there with him because I have tried going there with a friend and I want him to experience dining there. 😅
But yeah next time, I'll go alone~
If he's on a day off, maybe I could convince him again but maybe I'll not force him
Well I get your point you just want to spend sometime with him at a fancy restaurant 😉 yahh I do that too..
Ouch! Reading this was really heart breaking and there seems to be do many factor to blame. However, it won't solve anything, so it's better to just accept the fate, get something somewhere else to eat and if you still crave that BBQ, you can find time to go there more earlier. Smile!
It has been a while 🙂
Aweee thank you! Indeed, blaming won't take me anywhere and won't satisfy my cravings. I should probably go there alone next time but I really want to bring my partner there so I hope there's a chance to go there again, and this time we would be early.
Yeah, it would be great if you guys went early 🙂
