I Tried

I tried the wrong way and, of course, I got burned.

 I tried the right way and it fizzled, no matter how I fanned what little imaginary flame there was. 

Yes, Lord, I know: "This is all there is to it so quit thinking otherwise."

Gryn Wasabi's Sushi


Rating:★★★★
Category:Other
Okay, I'm not exactly an expert on sushi or sashimi or maki, but I do love eating those. So far, I haven't died from mercury-poisoning yet ;p

That aside, I really recommend Gryn Wasabi Sushi Bar. Why? Lemme start with the How.

It was my officemate's -- Kti's -- birthday on May 7 and mine was to be on the 11th. To make the story short, we decided to share in the expenses and, by my suggestion, we thought of treating the office to a package-order of sushi, for the sake of veering away from the usual stuff. Good thing was Kti remembered the sushi ordered by a friend before that only cost P450+ per package, with 80+ pieces already! Comparing it to better- known "brands" offering as many pieces, we more or less saved half of our money! Sure, we're cheapskates (LOL), but we're wise cheapskates *wink*...So needless to say, I got to order.

It was a really good buy, so to speak. I ordered mixed sushi (which was mixed maki and sushi really...I did wish for a sashimi) and it didn't prove to be of low-quality, even given the price. In fact, I loved that unlike most sushi's I've tried before, theirs didn't crumble at the slightest pinch of the chopsticks or pierce of the fork or scoop of the spoon even. Looking at the bilao, you'd think you've been had, but no, start counting and the number does reach 80+ (well, with some simply crab or whatever-seafood-they-were pieces).

Delivery was just on time, I think, and the presentation? Lovely, as you can see from the photo here. You've got a BIG mound of wasabi in the middle, too. Hotta-hotta!

If you want to order a family- or office-size sushi package then, I recommend Gryn Wasabi Sushi Bar. Nope, I am not affiliated with them. I don't have a friendworking there. And I'm not earning anything from this endorsing. Just sharing.

One minus-factor, though, is they don't have a website where you can view what they offer and see pics. The good thing is, they do have a Facebook account. I don't really like LIKE-ing pages that much, so don't expect a LIKE click from me.But I do like them. Another minus-factor, too, though, is I don't think they have big enough images presented in Facebook. In fact, my other officemates wanted to order something else from them but there were no big enough images to visually show what they offer. So no more new orders, thank you very much.

And so, if you find yourself in the mood for some Japanese food, think Gryn :)

At least

It's April. One year after I began. It really started as an experiment, but who am I really kidding, really? 

It has gone on long enough and yet, here I am. I began my goodbyes a few months back and it's been alright enough. But some goodbyes have been too hard to give. One goodbye, I've done over and over and yet I come back. This time, I hope it's for real. The last goodbye, I don't know if it's coming soon. Or at least, I'm just delaying the inevitable. 

My friend says that at least, I went through it. I really am not sure if I should be that grateful. But then, I got that advice from someone with a more whacked sense. She also says that at least I've made some people happy. Well, that is my only consolation. At least, it's what they know and I have to say that I, indeed, sincerely wanted them to be happy, made efforts even, because I am that kind of person.

It's been only a year but why do I feel like it's been several years already? What a phase it's been. 

When I finally say my last goodbye, I'm gonna miss this. I'm gonna miss them. But I have to.

I have to.

"Whatever it takes. For the love of films."

These were the three short films created for the 5th Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival that ran from July 17-26, 2009.Some might not understand and find them silly. But then, that just means you don't really dig indies.

Is it possible to elbow one's self?

YES. I tripped the other day on hard concrete, sideways, and elbowed my lower left ribs. Ouchie. I don't hurt easily but this one really hurts...

My Artist Friend

Surprised to find out my friend did the layout for PBB Commemorative mag (yes, I watch the show, so sue me). Checked when I got home and lo and behold, it IS his name there. To think I remembered him while browsing. No wonder!
