Sunday - April 20
Yesterday, Leah and I gladly took up Carlos’ offer to bring us to his family’s private resort in Antipolo. We both had a stressful week and leaving the grind for even just a few hours was too tempting to resist. Plus, it’s been a month. :)
It was a nice place...understatement of the year again…very peaceful and relaxing. It was fun clowning around in the pool although Leah’s idea of fun was making me swim from one end of the pool to another. Being out of shape, I paid for it the next day (ouch). The food that Carlos prepared was so good. Chicken, pork, fish…I ate everything…screw my allergies…they don’t exist. :)
Carlos then brought us to Mabini, Malate to eat Persian food in one of his favorite places. This guy has been going on and on about this particular food find so we were really excited. In the car on the way to Malate, Leah realized she brought not one camera but two cameras and we neglected to take pictures. There’s always next time.
So we get to Malate and it was Persian food heaven. We ordered food good enough for a party of six and there wasn’t anything left when we were done. The different kebabs were terrific and the hummus was good. Hell, I even went ga-ga over the tea. The servings were huge and it was a good thing we were all hearty eaters (nice way of saying matakaw…hehehe). We made sure to take a few pictures and I’ll be posting them in my Multiply soon enough.
After one of the best dinners I’ve had in a long while, Leah and I just stayed at the condo to hang out. It’s been a month and I have to admit, it’s been going really well (I seem to be fond of understatements today). Despite our busy schedules, what we have is actually working out. I think it’s even getting better over time.
But back to the real world. I need to go back to work.
Until next time…
