Mesa


Uncle Marcus, Auntie Aster and Malaya came to visit the Philippines. We had dinner last night at Mesa, Filipino Moderne in Greenbelt 5.


They serve the all time favorite Filipino dish. We ordered Pomelo Salad and baked scallops for appetizer. For the main course we had, sisig with egg, beef two-way, crispy hito, chicken binakol, laing two-way, and the best seller 1/2 crispchon two-way. Bagoong rice. Lahat masarap! Notice the two-way on some of our orders? It's called two-way because they are two dishes in one order. So the beef two-way was cooked in two different ways. One is crispy fried beef while the other one is beef cooked in coco nut. The crispchon is a MUST TRY! It's two way because half of it was chopped while half of it were wrapped in pandan crepe. You know what they do with pecking duck. The meat, strip of crispy balat, strip of cucumber, and some herb all wrapped together using the pandan crepe. Very delicious! Add to that the three kinds of sauce to choose from, the usual mang tomas gravy, white sauce used for shawarma, or teriyaki sauce. I give their food a two thumbs up!
Here's a picture of the crispchon.


The interior of the restaurant was very nice and elegant. You'll see the touch of Filipino in the furniture they use and even their utensils. Makes me even prouder of being a Filipino. There are also function rooms there for big occasions. So if you plan to have your birthday celebration, it'll be the perfect place. For reservations call (632) 728-0886.

Food price is affordable. The crispchon though is quite expensive but you won't regret when you order it.

How to get to Mesa? From EDSA, turn right to Ayala Ave, left to Makati Ave, then right to Dela Rosa St. (it's the first right turn after taking a left to Makati Ave) At the corner of Dela Rosa st you will see Ayala Museum, beside it is Greenbelt 5. First street to the left is Legazpi, find your parking there. Mesa is located at the second floor of Greenbelt 5.

5am in the morning we arrive at SM Mall of Asia (MOA) parking lot. I was with Phoebe, James, Jedd and Jay, who drove us. There were already a lot of participants roaming. I got off the car and started securing my toe nails with band aid! Ayokong matanggalan ulit ng kuko. Dalawaang beses na kong natanggalan. By 5.15am we were with the rest of the UP MBS runners. Yeahay! It's my first ever 10k run. 5.30am the event began. RUN! The MBS pack run All of us running together. I couldn't have finished 10k without the MBS support. I really can't believe I made it! I'm so proud of myself. An hour and 15 minutes of running. Whew! Now we have a time to break weee. My legs and feet are still aching! But the whole experience was worth the pain. Here's to more runs and a healthy lifestyle! More Photos

Short Lived 2 of 2

I learned and discovered things about myself and about relationships that I wouldn't have known without having gone into that short lived relationship. Lower the tone of my voice. He's the first person who told me that I talk as if I'm angry or picking a fight. And then I got it validated by a colleague who told me to hear myself when I speak weeks later. I'm very cautious now. I believe I have the sweetest voice already! Be vocal of how I feel . There's nothing wrong with showing your vulnerable side to your partner. Trust that your partner wont judge you or belittle you .  Be open and honest with everything. No secrets. Your partner has the right to now after all he's the one who should be able to listen to you and help you. Getting into relationship means hard work . It's not always fun times. Be ready to battle with different situations. Not everything is about YOU. Don't be self centered. I learned I have insecurities I need to fix. I nee

3 1K LOSS

 Today I lost 1K USD. It's the initial amount I invested on XTB. I'm now left with 223 USD, which is the total profit I gained since the day I started trading for real (Sept __, 2023).  Here's what happened. I mistakenly opened a wrong position. I checked long frames and they seem to be down trend. I put a trend line on h1 frame and it's also going down with 3 candles going up. I figured those were negligible and will eventually go down. I went on to check m1 frame and as soon as it went down trend, I clicked red for sell. And less than few minutes, trend went up. Increasing my loss too. I couldn't look anymore so I logged out.  My strategy was to let it open overnight, thinking it will eventually go down to the set TP. Hours later, XTB automatically closed my position at -1023 loss. I couldn't believe it. 3 weeks worth of trading with consistent gains, now all gone in just few hours and one single mistake.  Ok I understand now that it will take forever to get b
