Tomorrow's Excitement And Yesterday's Kebab

I've been busy dealing with paper requirements for my new job. Wait, have I mentioned I got in together with Randy and Bobbhie? Yep. We're all in the same company. I'm starting with Randy tomorrow (wish us luck!) while Bob's currently on the resignation phase from her current job.
Anyway, I'm feeling very positive about this one. I don't want to say more because I might eat it all up in the end but really, it's good that I now have I job that I can dedicate myself to. I really hope this all works out. I'm already 23 and should be starting to get a stable life but I'm not. I'm disappointed but I have to do something about it so that's why I'm quite excited for tomorrow. Plus, I need money. Let's get real. Of course I'm happy I'm with Randy and Bobbhie. Save us all the first day humiliation, please. At least I have friends already. But of course, I'm always open to meeting new ones.

Met up with the gang minus Ella, Aika and Jess last night for dinner. I heard from my brother that there's this little Shawarma hub in the middle of Malate that we should try.
Now, welcome to Shawarma Snack Center. There are two establishments of the same name but according to some people, the fancy one, which will capture your eyes instantly once on the street, isn't that good so we choose the other one with the canteen-ish ambiance with smoky grills outside.

I ordered the Kebab with rice (250 pesos) and the rest went with their Special Shawarma (75 pesos).

The packed Kebab and Shawarmas together with the condiments which are the garlic and chili sauce, sang beautifully in our mouths. Not a huge fan of the garlic sauce though as it has this mayonnaise texture but the chili sauce killed it. Fong even ordered an extra pita bread (10 pesos) because there's still some Kebab left and we all shared it.

is located at Salas St., Malate, Manila.

Just 2 streets away from 

Robinson's Place, Ermita's Adriatico Wing.

Of course, we headed to Starbucks for dessert and late night Latte's and cigs. Their new Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino is a win, btw.

I remember this conversation I had with Randy and Ella way back when I was feeling really down. I told them how I feel like I'm wasting my life away and disappointing people in the process. They both disagreed with me, saying that I should be thankful that I have the time to do the things I want, like, watch all the movies and read all the books in the world, because not everyone can just put down whatever they're doing and do what I can do. And that the lowest point of my life will teach me things that happy days couldn't. 

I may be a 23 year old with no money but I believe I've felt things only a few have felt and some couldn't even think of. I have seen things in a much broad perspective. I'm mature and secure. I'm mature because I was able to get up and shake it out from falling down and I'm secure of myself because, who cares what other people think? This is my life. I should be busy pleasing me.
