I was at Lucky Plaza today to remit some money and take advantage of the P28.53 to a S$ 1.00 rate because at the rate the Peso is appreciating, who knows it might go to P27 soon. Huhu kawawa naman kaming (actually si Jor pa lang) mga bagong bayani.

While I was there, I thought I smelled carajay (lechon kawali) so I went up to one of the restaurants (more like carinderia in the mall) in the 4th floor and had late lunch. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any signs of carajay. It might have been on the restaurant one floor up. Yes, I’m one of those who don’t mind eating alone. I had beef caldereta and pakbet tagalog and even though it looked like it had been reheated ten times already, it was actually quite comforting. The beef caldereta tasted like the beef caldereta they served at the canteen in Pisay.

I gained quite a lot of weight when I came home to Manila last Christmas. Right now, I can’t wear my jeans because they don’t fit. I just hope I’ll fit into my bridesmaid’s gown for Rose’s wedding.
