Something "Nice" about June

      

One weekend night out, after hearing the Sunday Mass, we had our dinner at Tia Maria's Restaurant inside Festival Supermall in Muntinlupa City.

Nice place. Good ambiance. Fast service.

It's our first time to try their Mexican Menu... "Plato Gordo paired with mexican rice and a bucket of beer" as suggested by our table server.

It has grilled shrimps, chicken, beef strips, spareribs, onions and lots of spices. It includes also tortillas and three kinds of dips. Among the three, I liked the cream cheese dip because it neutralizes the spicy taste of the mexican rice and the grilled dish. Harhar!

Ow.. I forgot about the beer! I drunk a bit! Nah.. The beer is just for picture taking.. :) Anyway, If you want to know more about the place, you may go to their website, www.tiamarias.ph

Basta... Dine in! It's worth your money! Your taste buds and stomach will surely love the food. :)

June 30, 2008-Philippine Time


This month has been so rough for me and my loved ones. I've been visiting the doctor almost trice a week and my expenses for medicines and treatments are unbearable. But is not that.. My undetermined medical state is what troubling the family. Though I can hear no complaints, I know, deep inside their hearts, they are so worried about me.

It started last May 28. It was a hot and tiring day.. I have no car that time. It was broken and had to be brought in the car shop. Anyway, for my schedule, I have a lunch meeting with a Mindanao-Project Consultant in QC, so I have to take a 1-hr long bus-ride from Muntinlupa City and ride the train after reaching EDSA. But, during the trip, I had this terrible headache. Then neck and chest f pains followed. I had few black outs while on the road, too. I really thought I'm experiencing stroke!

But, hey! I'm only 26! I thought.. It's probably the heat.. So it must be heat stroke! So dumb of me.. But who knows?! I have never experienced that! To my luck.. and relief that the end station of the train is a mall., "Trinoma". I feel so saved! They have a clinic there, too. So, I grabbed something cold to drink and went to "The Medical City Clinic" Slowly... Walking very slowly.. 'coz by this time, I'm already feeling very dizzy that I thought that I would just loose consciousness just before reaching the clinic..

At last! The Trinoma Clinic! I was asked to fill up the form. They got my blood pressure.. Then told me to wait. They have a long list of patients that time.. Haay.. Too bad for me! While waiting, and I could not bear any longer, I called up my mom and told her my situation. Syempre... She worriedly yelled at me telling me to go to the ER!

Then, I took a cab and told the driver to bring me to the nearest hospital, which is the "Capitol Medical Center". And there the tiring doctor-treatment quest begun. ( I'll post the results next time)

But "Tomorrow" is a another day.. another month.. a new adventure! Hopefully its a HAPPY one.. So I'm driving my way into it! :)
