Random Thoughts

After buying a few stuff for the house at home depot a couple of weeks ago, Hubby and I decided to have dinner at Persian Square. We were hesitant at first because it looks expensive but our minds were somehow made up already that we're going to have Indian food, so we pushed through.

I'm glad we did!

Not only because the price was not too expensive but also because the food was so good too!

(Pardon the photos because it was a little dark inside the restaurant and these photos were taken using my phone)

We started off with a Persian Square salad (PHP 165.00). This salad consists of crisp romaine lettuce, cucumber, tomato, corn, carrot, bell pepper, kalamata olives, croutons with our chef secret dressing. It was a little heavy for a salad, good thing we were really starving!

For our main meal, we had, Joojeh Tandoori Kabab (PHP 295.00), a skewer of charbroiled slices of chicken fillet marinated in tandoori masala, saffron, onions and lime juice.

It was sooo good that even if Hubby and I shared this meal, we were very satisfied and full too.

I'm not allowed to drink coffee nowadays, but I just had to try their Arabic Coffee after a heavy meal.

It was just ok, nothing special but I felt better after drinking it.

The ambiance of Persian Square is nice and perfect for date nights!

I would definitely go back here again! And hopefully soon!

I'm sure you already know by now the passing of the great Steve Jobs. It's all over the news. I wasn't really a fan until I got an iphone. He really was a great inventor and a genius!

I didn't know about his famous speech On June 12, 2005. Steve Jobs delivered a commencement address at the Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.

It was a straight forward and brilliant speech. So I'm sharing here a few points that I really like, so I could read it all over again. There are just days that I need these kind of words. Read on...

"Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."

"I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life."

"I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle."

"When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."

"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true."

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

Thank you for these beautiful words, Mr. Steve Jobs. May you Rest in Peace.

I've always love the distinct taste of milk tea, ever since I had Nai Cha from chowking. I know not most people like the taste. Hubby is one of those people. He just didn't get the combination of milk and tea in one drink.

I discovered Serenitea a few months ago and so far I'm so loving it! When I read that ChaTime opened a branch near our place, I was ecstatic! I just have to try it! And so we did, a couple of weekends ago...

Too bad, pearls were not part of the drink and you have to pay for it. I didn't know so I wasn't able to order, which made my drink a little odd. I ordered Roasted Milk Tea which I found it just ok. The milky taste of the drink was very powerful, I couldn't barely taste the tea.

Oh well, I will give this a chance and order their best seller hopefully next time.

Yes, finally!

Ever since Ate A started Kinder 2, I was getting nervous if she would be able to keep up with her classmates. She doesn't know how to read then! But thank God, after practicing, she now can read phrases and sentences.

Good job, Ate!

I'm tempted to watch the Peter Pan play at the Meralco Theater, Pasig City.

I've always wanted to try Yakimix but we never get a chance until we were invited by BIL to celebrate his birthday a couple of weeks ago! I knew it was a buffet so I was excited to try it out.

When we arrived at the top floor, we immediately saw this at one of the posts, which made us even more excited! (*grin*)


When we entered Yakimix, we immediately saw the buffet station. It looks glorious! (If that's the correct term for it)

After we settled down in our tables (reserved by BIL), we immediately went to get our food from the buffet. Here are my choices...

I realized that I didn't get to take pictures of my next plates anymore. I was already enjoying my food! HA!

Hubby on the other enjoyed "cooking"...

I would say we all enjoyed our Yakimix dinner. Even the kids had a grand time!

Thanks again Kuya for the wonderful dinner at Yakimix. Definitely yuuuumy!
