Dinner at Il Pirata
February 12th, 2009
Two weeks ago, we had a dinner at Il Pirata in Eastwood. It’s our fourth time to dine there and I really liked the food. I love Filleto Alla Griglia Gorgonzola (Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Gorgonzola sauce served with baked potato or fries) but we decided to try something else. We ordered Penne Alla Matriciana, Pizze Morgan and Filleto De Pollo Gratinato (Baked Chicken Breast Fillet topped with vegetables & Mozarella Cheese).
This time was different because a group of musicians were serenading the customers in each table. I thought that wasn’t a good idea, but when they started to play, we were really impressed. At first I thought it was only a recording. They asked what songs we like. We don’t have anything in mind so we just chose from what they offered – ‘Til There Was You’ and ‘Ikaw ang Miss Universe ng Buhay Ko’. Marlon even joked that he should have worn one of his silk ties to match the ambience.

A Ride To Remember
February 12th, 2009
I was browsing the net and came across an article about a road accident. The injured victims needed the assistance of legal representative, like a Lexington personal injury lawyer, to help them get justice and the right compensation. This is a common in practice in most countries.
Speaking of road accidents, last weekend, we were riding a cab home from Makati. We were a bit tired, that’s why we somewhat fell asleep along the way. When we reached the highway, Marlon noticed that our taxi was trying to change lane when in fact there’s no car in front of us. That’s strange because we could have accelerated straight ahead. Speeding vehicles on the other lanes are beeping their horns as if saying “Hey! Watch where you’re going!” Marlon got my attention, and that point, I was looking at the driver through the mirror. I was surprised to see that the driver was hardly opening his eyes! We quickly woke him up because we still want to live. We could have been injured or worse, dead. Thank God, we reached home safely. Honestly speaking, I wasn’t mad at the driver since he’s an old man and I understand that he’s tired.
