I wrote about this particular buffet in this post.

This got me thinking though, “How do they manage to do dishes, knowing that there are hundreds of dishes to wash? Do they do these manually or use a dishwasher? What happens should their kitchenaid dishwasher repair needs to be serviced? How thoroughly are the plates washed?”

For sure I wouldn’t want to be the one to do the dishes since I do not enjoy the task, even at home where I only have a few plates to wash. I’d rather cook than wash plates.

I never will tire of looking at the sky during sunset nor stop taking sunset photos.

What does buffet eating and shopping have in common? If you are to eat in a buffet style restaurant, you know, those all-you-can-eat binges that you have been invited to go to or you are paying for, you have to remember a few “rules” as as not to get sick after:

• If you are going to a lunch buffet, better have a little breakfast so that you don’t feel starved when you get there. Just like shopping, do not shop with an empty stomach nor start with a full one.
• Make sure you are not in a rush because buffets are best enjoyed slowly, like when you go through musical instruments for sale, taking your time to pick what you think best suits you
• Do not drink a lot of those artificially sweet drinks, better to have water (not ice cold water) and a cup or two or warm tea
• Sample a little from each food offerings
• Do a walk-through, looking at what the food offerings are, much like what you do at the clothes and shoes on display
• When you feel full, stop eating. In shopping, when you know you got what you wanted, stop. If you don’t you may have to pay for more than you bargained for.
• Save space, in your stomach and in your budget, for things may come up unexpectedly.

We did our annual Visita Iglesia last Friday. It has been a quiet Holy Week for the husband and I because the kids are vacationing with their grandparents, my parents and hubby’s mom.

It was a welcome respite to even not hear the children from the other side of the block playing on the streets. It was also a relief not to hear people from another street sing their hearts out like they are doing a demo at the ableton live 8 guitar center.

The coming campaign period is something I dread for all its pomp and noise especially the noise since these are just the times people “hear” from these politicians, until the next campaign period comes along.

The eldest daughter, when she was still at a young age, once told us that she wants to hear mass at the Manila Cathedral.

One of the reasons she gave was because she said she wants to know if the organs in the mezzanine are being played during the masses there. She said she would, for once, listen to music being played there. Most churches use speakers like exciting celestion vintage 30.

I for one would like to hear music being played that way too.
