Farewell

Ahn nyung hee ke se yo

by witsandnuts on January 27, 2008

I am taking the littlest break from my last minute preps to blog.  Every minute counts and I got only an hour sleep the past couple of days.  I only have less than 24 hours and there are still loose ends.  I can not really be superwoman. 

The dusting of my personal stuff went several stages.  It was like that because I could not let go of so many things.  My going out is sooner than expected and/or planned -  I realized that I have accumulated several stuff that are all precious to me.  And it was hard sorting them as precious versus less precious… but that would be incorrect, rather, “must bring” versus “give it away to others” and “till we meet again, stuff”.  The sorting also let me realized that I accumulated so much junk in the past.  Those that I bought in impulse, but I enjoyed that time, and those that I should not have bought in the first place.  The dusting also allowed the reappearance and surprising done by those I thought I never had and still have.

I have no unmet craving this minute and that feels good.  As always, everyone who leaves work would always have unfinished business – not that having not turned over loads, but the feeling that you wanted to help and still be there, but can not anymore simply because you now have to go.  The meet ups and send offs were overwhelming.  My excitement to blog about each of them won’t seize but I don’t have much time to do it at the moment. 

I was reporting for work till midnight yesterday.  Hence, the meet ups and send offs happened in squeezed.  All worthwhile.  I am restricting myself to look at the many photos we/ I  captured lately to sway away the nostalgia.  Most of them are the busiest people in the land and they took time to see me.  They really made a means when it became so impossible to meet up.  Despedida at 7am, lunch, dinner, midnight to 3am… , and those that I begged off (sorry, if only I can be in one place at a time) due to errands and all that took time to make surprises, catching you at work and home unexpectedly.  I will leave to your imagination how little sleep I had lately.

Preps were stressful.  But the meet ups, bonding and rekindling outweight everything.  To those that I didn’t see no matter how they tried and vice versa, we owe each other big time!  Hehe.  We will see each other again.

Piquant

by witsandnuts on November 5, 2007

Piquant is known for healthy food especially for its intelligent, affordable and delicious South Beach menu.  We recently dined here and tried the following:


Honey-mustard pork loin, PhP170.Honey is on top, with sweet potato cake at the bottom and mixed with apple sauce.  Not as good as its name. :p

 


Eggplant parmesan, PhP175.Layers of eggplant filled in between with lean ground beef and tomato sauce topped with grated parmesan cheese.  Tastes so healthy.

 


Roasted vegetable in wheat pita, PhP225.Inviting, isn’t it?  It has eggplant, sweet peppers, and zucchini with frisee lettuce, feta cheese and sweet potato chips.  Must try!

 


Atkins/South beach menu, PhP185.This was my meal.  In the mood for fad diet. :p  This is grilled rosemary chicken with roasted tomato and cucumber sauce.  This is one of their bestsellers and most ordered for delivery.  This is a guaranteed yummy and healthy food!

Green mango, PhP85@.They use brown sugar, hence, the color.  You can taste the pulp.  Refreshing. :p 

Aside from Piquant’s meal for the day, they offer breakfastm salads, soups, several entrees to choose from, Pinoy meals, pastas, sandwiches, executive meals, take-out toppings, desserts and beverages (which include freshly squeezed orange, carrot, carrot and apple, CBC or carrot, beet, celery) and many others.
