My bestfriend, Beth, celebrated her 31st birthday last July 12, 2010. Before the said date, we participated in the 34th National Milo Marathon, where she sprained her ankle while running. She had to walk the last 3 kilometers because her ankle was already painful. After the marathon, she went into numerous visits at the hospital because she did not only feel pain but also developed allergy from the meds she took. When it was the day of her birthday, she did not plan anything special, so I and the other girls decided to surprise her. When her meeting in the afternoon was cancelled, she immediately texted me to meet up with her at Bonifacio High Street. She waited for an hour at Starbucks, while we waited for Ghel who will be coming from Pasig.
We entered the coffee shop singing the Happy Birthday tune with the box of cake on our hands. Beth flushed upon seeing us. She kept on saying, "Ay, Nagba-blush ako! Nagba-blush ako! Na-surprise ako! Ghel bakit andito ka?! Bakit ka naka-red?!...." She never expected that Ghel would come, too. She was truly surprised.
Of course, with our frappuccinos, we gorged on the chocolate mousse cake. We didn't bother if they would add up to our calorie intake. Everyone was so happy that we forgot our diet!
Beth-Day turned out to be a really sweet day with a sweet surprise for a sweet lady!

Grilling the Tomato
Friday, July 2, 2010
I am now a sucker for kebabs!
While I was surfing channels I chanced upon MYX's feature of an eating place at Tomas Morato. It was called, Grilled Tomato, which offers another Persian-inspired cuisine.The name of the place sounds good, so I decided to check it out if the food in their menu also tastes good.
My pretty cousin, Alyssa, agreed with me to have dinner there. She ordered the Keema, and I went, again, for the beef kebab. The pita bread was also delicious, especially if you dip it in the curry sauce. I have never liked the idea of a bread being dipped in curry. Because when I visited Kuala Lumpur a few years back, the strong smell of the curry in every dish they served wasn't that pleasant to my nose.
The prices at Grilled Tomato are very affordable. Ambience though, is far different from Persia Grill. If you are looking for a place to eat where you get to enjoy affordable and tasty kebabs, then visit Grilled Tomato. But if you opt to be in a cozy place with that touch of Mediterranean feeling, go to Persia Grill.
