Luk for Foo(d)

I went to a dinner meeting last night, actually an overdue meeting but we couldn't schedule it during the Holy Week.

Anyway, we had been talking about it but there had been no venue for weeks.  Finally, yesterday morning, our coordinator Raymond announced that we would have at this place called Luk Foo at the Puregold building in Cubao.  That was convenient for me so I volunteered to be the advance party.

When I got there before 5pm, the place was almost empty.  It turns out they were quite new, just over a month old.  Besides it was too early for dinner and too late for snacks.  So I told the girl Amy that I was reserving for a party of 12 and that we would be arriving at 6:30.  She pointed out an area near the back.

She also asked if I was ordering and she showed me their menu sets for 10.  She insisted that the meal was big enough for 12.  Well, I could not order because I wasn't in charge of that.  Still, it was too early so I went off and did my own thing.

Amy prevailed.  When the others arrived, we chose one of the sets.  It turns out we had a small doggie bag when we left.

The food was great.  There was just too much of it for our group.  And yes, all 12 of us had full stomachs when we left.

Feeling Nostalgic

I know I said I loved you
And I really meant it then
But time has passed since
Now I won't say it again

Cause things have happened
That made me change my mind
Now all I want to do
Is leave that past behind

So goes the song that I began to write   And in my head there's also a tune.  But I can't make a refrain or another verse for it.  I know it's unfinished.  Right now I just can't come up with the tail part.  I wonder if this is another one that will take me years to complete.

There's another poem that begins

     I once had a love
      ...
     Now I make peace with my heart

I know what I want to do with it but I can't fill the lines between the first and the last lines.

What triggered these thoughts?  Usually I know the answer to what made me want to write something.  This time, there were several.  I was looking through old pictures the other day.  A face popped up on facebook that I thought I recognized.  I met with my old gang a few days ago.

So where's the love angle?

Any suggestions anyone?  No, not the love angle, the poetry please.

So Random

HAPPY EASTER!!!

I am aware I have this blog.  Sometimes I get the urge to post something but then I am nowhere near a computer or I don't have enough credits on my phone to connect.

Then when I am online, I start thinking that I should edit what I want to say.  Controversies and even scandals have arisen from irresponsible posting on social forums and I don't want to be the one to start that.  So I edit my thoughts until finally I don't feel like posting anymore.

I should discipline my writing some.
