#234 Taxi driver returned our stuff

We did swimming/camping at Nagsasa Cove in Zambales over the weekend together with some officemates and a Bulgarian boss. On our way home, we drop our foreign visitor at Holiday Inn, his hotel which is beside Robinson's Galleria, and  I forgot the Coleman tent that I was assigned to carry in the taxi in the passenger seat. I have no idea we have left it until we came out of the hotel and my officemate asks where the tent is. OMG!

So it was about 10 minutes after we stepped out of Holiday Inn, walking down the street, talking about how much the tent costs and me thinking how we will we pay for it haha (we just borrowed it), and just hoping for nothing. And then we saw the Avanza taxi and the driver stepped out of the car and waved at us. The taxi we rode!

The taxi driver returned our tent! I came rushing forward and got the stuff. The taxi driver told me that he circled around the Robinsons Galleria area hoping to find us. We gave the driver a small tip and a high five! Cool guy! Astig moment!

#233 Being able to cook your own food

I have been relying on home cook delivery for more than a year. Someone in the building has been cooking food and delivering to my unit and all the other units in the building. So it is comfortable and just a text away, someone will deliver straight to my door. It was a great arrangement and very comfortable for me, plus the fact that they are "turo-turo" priced, was quite awesome.

Until a month ago when the owner decided to call it quits.

I was off-balanced for a couple of weeks, relying on Chowking and Jollibee which were located downstairs. Then came a time when I was really fed up with the chicken and fastfood. I was just forcing the food inside just I can relieve the hungriness. Ewwwww. Just thinking about the fried chicken, braised beef and chowfan makes me wanna puke.

Every discomfort is an opportunity to grow.

So, there is no choice but to cook my food. Together with the help of my girlfriend, we came up with simple meals, checked the internet and do a grocery.

So for the initial offering, we bought a lot of vegetables, spices and seasonings, a kilo of chicken and a kilo of pork.

Also bought basic utensils, a knife, a frying pan and a skillet.

I was able to resuscitate my refrigerator as it has just been serving me as a place to put rotting foods for me before, and cold water haha. Cleaned up my ref and threw away those expired foods. And i have my ref back!

I also have a gas stove which I havent been using for quit some time. (The last time was maybe last November when me and my girlfriend cooked spaghetti)

Now there is a great oppurtunity to cook awesome meals and learn! And thinking about those nutritious meals, and how bout going vegan! haha

There are no accidents in life. Every challenge is an oppurtunity to grow.

I just finished eating my cooked meal. It was a pork giniling ala menudo. Awesome!

My first home cooked meal!

#232 A really comfortable chair

Got this office chair from Sanyang and man was it comfortable! Definitely a good buy. So comfy, so relaxing ! Hours and hours of gaming and watching movies!!!!

These type of chairs sells for unreasonable prices from other furniture shops but got it for only 4K at Sanyang. Sanyang furnitures who's website is this one: http://sanyang.com.ph boasts a lot of furniture in their array, at a lower cost than most of other furniture shops (maybe because they are made from China?). I bought some furniture from them already, so far they are durable hehe. I don't get paid to promote them so this is not an advertisement lols.

Anyway to complete my setup, here is my humble mini office I was able to assemble the past month. The chair being the centerpiece of it!
