Since my entry about Henny Penny Café seems insufficient, I asked my colleagues yesterday to have lunch there. They agreed and tried other dishes other than their usual, but not me. I ordered Fettuccini Carbonara with grilled chicken.
Fettuccini Carbonara with grilled chicken, Php188.
They served the free bread that I mentioned. The margarine has a hint taste of garlic.
German Beef Goulash with Mashed Potato and Vegetable Medley, Php168. Colleague said that the meat tastes like beef stew, and the taste changes, in a good way, as he eat the veggies by layer with mashed potato. He said he was very satisfied.
Henny Penny Chicken (half), Php155. Two colleagues ordered this because they agreed on a chicken challenge. The person who can eat most of the chicken wins. The guy in a red shirt won because the guy in blue shirt left a spoonful of rice in his plate. LOL.
Chicken Yakitori, Php168. It’s like chicken sate of Thai cuisine.
Pan Seared Chicken, Php168. He didn’t much comment on the food but he said he was happy about it.

Henny Penny Cafe is a restaurant along Quezon Avenue. Their menu caters breakfast, desserts, and lunch/dinner. They also sell different types of bread, cakes, pastries, and imported coffee.
I eat here whenever I feel stressed or if I want something tasty that’s beyond my meal budget. You must try their roasted chicken since it’s the house specialty. I can’t quite figure it out why their chicken has a very distinctive taste. It’s either the chicken itself or the sauce that comes with it.
The Carbonara Fettuccini with grilled chicken is my all time favorite. I consider it my feel-good-pasta. It’s quite expensive if you’re dining on a tight budget. It costs almost P200 including taxes. Sorry if there’s no picture. I forgot everything else if it’s in front of me.
With almost the same price, there’s the meaty lasagna. This is soo good. I seldom order this because it’s too delicious for my taste.
The most affordable pasta in the cafe is the spaghetti, P120us tax. Well, the spaghetti is definitely worth the price. I’m not rich so I spend money according to my means. I’m no longer in the phase of wanting branded things, gadgets, and anything that glitters. My only vice is eating out. Having said that, sometimes it makes me feel guilty to spend so much for pasta. If I am feeling guilty and wanted to have something nice to eat at lunch at the same time, I order spaghetti and extra dinner roll.
Did I mention that most of the time I dine alone at Henny Penny Cafe? Not, when my fashionista friend at the office is around. She’s the only person who can afford to dine at the cafe daily and more than 3 times a dime.
The ambiance at the cafe is relaxing. The color of the walls matches the furniture. They also serve free bread with butter for waiting, granted that you order rice meals. Once you’ve tried eating at Henny Penny Cafe, you’ll definitely keep on coming back to try their other dish.

my extra freakin’ mile August 4, 2009

If we find out something on the product that we support that the subject matter experts haven’t discovered yet, we (moderators) get extra points in our performance score. There’s a technical term for this but moderators call it extra mile. The highest score we can get in the metric related to this is 3 (granting that you do not have deductions because you would definitely get lower). But if we suggested something that works and isn’t in the process, we would definitely get 4.
I’m totally angry. A point was deducted my QM score for the second week of July because of incorrect branding. I’ve been appealing for this QM attribute for the last three weeks. Finally, the product manager from the #1 computer company in the U.S. confirmed that it’s not incorrect. QCs used to ding all moderators on this QM attribute. Moderators appeal only to the QC who monitored the session but when I was dinged on this attribute, I escalated this to the higher gods. Now the process is corrected but the QC won’t retract the deduction.
And now my point is, are you kidding me?!!! The process was corrected at my expense? QC said that we still follow the previous (incorrect) process since the time I responded to the client it’s the existing documented course of action. Really now! They came up with the correct method because I appealed. I should be getting an extra mile points on this. I know it’s just one point but three points deduction in a month is considered failed for that fiscal month.

Have you ever been addicted to something good (literally) that you have to give up?
Exercising has become my religion. I have been a devotee for the last two years. Honestly, I go to the gym more frequently than attending a mass. Going to the gym is part of my daily routine but I have to give that up for something more important.
I miss the physical activity. I never break a sweat before but after a year with personal instructor and following his recommendations I feel a lot healthier. I could RUN now without the heartburn. I watch what I eat and it made me learn to disciple myself. I can now resist chocolate cakes. I have become focused and motivated.
There’s a phrase on the wall at the gym, “motivation is what makes you started and habit is what keeps you going.” It’s true. Now I feel I’m getting sick if I didn’t workout or attend a spinning class. My body’s looking for the activity.
There are times that I feel sluggish when working out. It’s like I can’t finish a track or run for another mile but when I’m at the gym, I don’t think I just go for it. I don’t entertain weak thoughts. Sometimes I just do what the instructor says but most of the time they’re encouraging and contagious. They love the exercise they’re teaching and you’ll end up working out effectively. At the end of each class, you’ll have the feeling that you had a blast; you had fun even you don’t know anyone at the gym.
I’ve have been doing for two years yet I don’t write about it. Well, it’s personal for me. It’s private but I miss Fitness First so much that I can’t contain it to myself anymore. Last week I tried running at the oval track and I feel like I was flying. I was jogging with a smile on my face. As much I want to go back to my routine, I can’t. I have to give that up for while.

Bagong Stress April 14, 2009

Nakakastress pa lang magdrive. Ngayon confirmed na mas gusto kong maging passenger na lang. Well, siguro nasasabi ko ito kasi wala akong alam tungkol sa sasakyan.
Nag-aral ako magdrive ilang taon na nakalipas pero pagkatapos ng isang linggong pagda-drive ng manual sa kotse ay suko na ako. Ngayon may auto na ako uli, automatic at di hamak na madali i-drive kaysa sa manual transmission. Ang problema, paranoid ako sa mga ilaw sa dashboard. Nung Linggo nagpunta ako ng Sta. Lucia Mall at nakailaw sa dashboard ko yung (!) na sign pero kapag yung kaibigan ko yung pinagmaneho ko eh wala naman nakailaw.
May nabasa ako sa forum about Mazda 2000, ang ibig sabihin daw nun eh may leak na hangin or faulty yung computer or transmission. Haayy,
kailangan ko pa atang ipagawa yung auto. Kapagod na nga magdrive iisipin ko pa na baka itirik ako sa daan.
Di ko na maintay yung sagot ng pinagtanungan ko through text kaya pasimpleng nagtanong ako sa isang officemate. Yun pala ang ibig sabihin ng (!) na sign ay handbrake. Eh nakababa naman handbrake ko nung nagmamaneho ako, sabi nya dapat daw babang-baba. Oh no! Di kaya mapudpod yung diskbrakes ko? Napupudpod ba yun? Masisira ba yung auto ko dahil dun? Waaa! So, may bago akong isipin ngayon. Kailangan ko na bang dalin sa mekaniko yung sasakyan? Baka itirik ako, di ko alam gagawin ko kung mangyari yun.
Nakakastress pala magka-auto tas wala kang alam dito at lalo na kung binili mo ito galing sa sweldo mo. Pwede na pala akong hindi mag-gym dahil mangangayayat na ako sa kakaisip sa sasakyan ko.
2008 Christmas Party @ Guilly’s December 31, 2008
Posted by inferior_poet in Random Thoughts.add a comment
Our account’s Christmas party was held at Guilly’s Tomas Morato. For the first time in my almost 30 years, I won in a raffle. I got a microwave oven!
The party was fun but it could be a blast if I got drunk. Hahaha! My guy friends were kinda guarding. One said that I shouldn’t start drinking early because he saw me tipsy last Christmas party. Another warned a friend because we will share a cab going home. But what the hell, I only drink at least three to four times a year and during really good parties.
I’m really decided to have real good fun but I won the raffle so I ended up going home early because no one will carry the oven if I got drunk. Anyway, it was ok. It was clean fun not that I’m prepared to get my hands dirty. I was home by 11 pm.

I never liked Korean novela. I really don’t get it. I didn’t even watched Meteor Garden even the time when everyone was so crazy about Dau Ming Sz(?).
In my attempt to get into the craze, I borrowed my friend’s copy of My Girl. It was her favorite Korean novela. I haven’t finished it yet, i just seen 3 episodes. This was a year ago. I really lost interest, maybe because of the subtitles.
It’s not that I don’t like the TV series. I love Ugly Betty, CSI’s, Desperate Housewives, House, etc. I’m just lazy reading subtitles. Now I’m running out of TV series to watch. So, I promise that I will try the Korean novelas. I told myself that I have to watch first Meteor Garden before I try to watch other series.
I have been looking for Meteor Garden in Tagalog version but still not lucky to find one. Monday was my rest day and I do not have movies to watch. I’m getting desperate so I bought Lovers In Paris since my aunt loved it.
Lovers In Paris erased all my negative thoughts about Korean novelas. I love it and I want the whole world to know. I have been converted. Oh lord.
I love the plot. They didn’t have sleazy scene. The series focused mainly on emotional aspect. There were corny scenes when Carlo and Vivian are together but those scenes were not annoyingly corny.
I fall in love with the actor Park Shin-yang, not with Carlo the character. He looks like Jet Li. Ahh… Do you guys know that he has his own website? I have read in wikipedia that he’s an ambassador and he had won best actor award. He’s now 40 years old.
He’s so cute! Isn’t he? His smile is heart melting. Anyways, I got the pictures from an Asian forum.
He has an official website. I think he’s the one singing the background song. I really don’t know what it means but he has a calming voice. I visited the gallery but I can’t seem to view the pictures. I tried to join the site but I don’t have the time to view the terms or use or policies. I’ll try that when I got home.
Now I cant get enough of these series. I’ve watched it twice and I’m beginning Meteor Garden series. Maybe its because all my friends are not so into them anymore. I never liked things that all people are so crazy about. Now it’s my turn to go gaga and I love it!

I had the chance to talk to an old friend through e-mail. The typical “hellos” and “how are you’s” were exchanged. I asked him to have dinner when he comes back. I even told him to bring his family so we could catch up. He asked me about my love life, career, and finances. Finances?! I’m not denying that I’m a little bit appalled by that question. We were close before, during college and few years after but I don’t think it’s appropriate that you just ask long time friend about their finances.
If you just get in touch with an old friend, how long should the friendship inactivity be for that friend still have the right to ask you questions about your money?
They are young professional and titled men. People at their work look up to them. They have succeeded in their field and now they are capable of buying things we used to glance behind the glass window. They are now “somebody” and they sure know it.
What makes me say that? He said that he’ll pay for the dinner although that dinner will take place a year from now (I guess). Is he saying that he can now afford? Damn right! If you ask someone to dinner, you do not say who’s going to pay for it, unless that person said that he or she could not afford to have one.
How are my finances? Is he expecting that I have a dead-end job with minimum salary? That I would be in the same level with them “financially” if I have man beside me? I don’t know why he asked that, is it because I am a woman? That I would only be financially stable if a husband works for the family?
I think men still think that women should be dependent with them, like their wives. I know it’s mean but it makes me grrr…
Newsflash, I can afford to buy things I want and eat at a fine restaurant before he can. I’m sure he didn’t intend to insult but I am. It’s like as if he is waiting for an answer that would say that I’m just making ends meet. Well, I have my own house, I pay my own bills, and I have insurance.
If you measure success with your savings account, you can say that they’re successful. But then again, so am I and I’m not going to apologize for it. They worked hard, I did too.
Oops, I forgot. I have friends, books, and shoes!
***They – the friend and his best friend(?).

I really love this picture.
I won’t edit or delete the water splash because a friend just jump infront of the camera. The splash of water was him ;o)
