saturday started off really bad for me cause england had got kicked out of the world cup. afterwards i tried calling someone for a full 45 minutes but wasnt able to connect. pehaps due to the fact that it was during world cup time, and we all know how europeans are crazy about that sport. lolz. the rest of the day was spent chilling inside cause i was having some pains and also due to it raining outside. about 8:00 pm i took about 5 painkillers and dragged my lazy ass to take a shower. felt in the mood for some korean food so headed off towards my destination. i hate going to the korean restaurant alone. its such a nice restaurant and i always feel uncomfortable having to go out to such a nice place all by myself. this particular restaurant i havent been to in almost a year so was quite startled when an old friend i knew worked there. talk about major discomfort! fortunately it was quite busy that night so we really didnt have time to talk. i have been craving for squid stir fried with vegetables for about 2 months so ordered that. to my surprise my friend brought me a platter of sushi and told me its on her. i thanked her sheepishly and began eating cause i really was quite starved not having eaten for the past day and a half. thru the middle of my appetizer she brought me a plate of fried dumplings called mandoo. she still remembered that it was my favorite appetizer. i was shocked and extremely embarrassed cause i hate receiving free food but she insisted. after many thanks i knew there was no way i was gonna finish all of this food. prior to the main course, she brought over all of the side dishes. in authentic korean restaurants u are given many vegetable side dishes that accompanies your meal. typically around 5 side dishes. she brought 7 side dishes and my table was literally covered with food! there were small bowls of seaweed, squash tempura, kimchi, pickled sesame leaves, mochi rice cakes, fish cakes, fish mochi cakes. that is alot of food for 2 people so u can imagine how it looked for a table for 1. lolz. i was very full by the time the dish i ordered arrived. taking a couple of bites i was too full to finish so asked for a to go box. i thanked her again for everything and told her it was nice to see her again. after promising to come again i prepared to leave. the bill was so small compared to the amount of food i received so i left her a 95% tip. don't know if it was the right thing to do or not but like i said, i hate receiving free food. thats one reason why i dont go to a few reataurants where i have friends that works there. same thing with gifts, i hate receiving them. i love giving but am always so embarrassed to receive them. damn i'm weird.
well its a rainy sunday so it looks like i'm gonna be stuck in the house again. have a wonderful weekend everyone!
