Last Sunday, I was finally able to make it to my personal appointment with the Lord. I have been re-scheduling Him and could not offer a time. But Sunday was a wake up call! I am finally able to make it to Church. I felt renewed after attending it. Though I have so much stress now, I felt really relieved. God was very personal and He was telling me how big a part I play in the lives of other people. Thank you Lord for imparting that message. I feel better now and a sense of purpose. Though i have been attending this church for the longest time now, I felt new again as i've been absent for months now.
Then, I went to meet Lot for lunch at Shangri-La. We were supposed to go to Bonifacio High Street for lunch but we decided to go back to this place we love dearly CAFE JUANITA. It was a pleasant surprise that we were able to get a table for us since we arrived quarter past twelve already. Though it was packed, food was its usual best. The Morrocan-Bohemian mood and tone of the place is enough to give you a trip! We initally ordered for fish, my all time favorite rich and delectable ox-tail kare-kare and Adobo served 2-way, we discovered that they offered buffet lunch set up for a very low price of 395+. I got a hefty serving of really good home-cooked food. I had three trips to the kare-kare pot, adobo, tilapia, lumpia among others. I have set my eyes to the kare-kare since I got there. YUMMY! It was a whole new experience to eat Kare-Kare once again, and this time to your heart's desire. The old house set-up with dark wood and decorations one can find in old Manila houses, how can I not feel at home and feel like it's mom serving the dishes. Grabe, i came out of Cafe Juanita 30million pounds heavier. In fact, my lunch lasted me till breakfast today!
While waitng for Pamps, Lot, Nessa and I headed to Valle Country Club for some camwhoring. We saw the see-saw empty, slides and this bridge right there. Though the place is old, it was a new experience for me because this is the first time I am really hanging out with Nessa minus the booze! And of course, when was the last time i had time to go to a country club, walk and just take a slowdown?
A roadtrip to Tagaytay ensued! But halfway through i decided to not go anymore and just look for DVD and get a massage. I went down at Metrowalk and scampered for new DVDs. I got Jericho the series (which is nice, by the way!) and Hostel part 2 (gore-fest again!) and of course IronMan. I was in Metrowalk last Friday whole day and Saturday (half-day) for our event, but this time around, I was there without a reason. I sat back, drank Coke light, looked at little mayas being chased by cute kids and expensive cars queueing. Nice!
Then i headed to this spa in Malate where the interiors are quite old and bings you a trip down to Old Manila. Ganda! The massage of course is just as good. For a change, I got a scrub and massage.
It was a Sunday Slowdown indeed. And more importantly, it was a Sunday full of new memories set in old places.
Wish you were there!
