Carmina's dad was craving for Vietnamese and wanted to bring his family have a meal. We are in the area of Brentwood, my dad remembered he used to dine in at CreAsian Wok 'n Roll . Upon entering there we're a lot of customers and the person asked how many we are seated at the table. The server handed us a menu asked us what we would like to drink. They brought out pitcher of iced water with glasses for us to pour our own water. My dad ordered a grilled lemongrass chicken combo with egg, shrimp, and an egg roll . Family member ordered basil leaf with chicken and garlic rice . Another family member had ordered a large Creation Special soup to share with everyone. Carmina wanted the banh mi sandwiches but unfortunately it wasn't available had to pick something else to eat. I decided to try the string beans with shrimp and included is the plain white rice. Service is fast and food is served at your table. Those who cannot finish their food they will provide take out c...
I don't understand why people like to ask something from someone
when they already know the person is coming over to visit you and inform you
last minute what they request you to bring for you.
This is what I hate the most
when they we're informed one month ahead that you will be coming over to visit
them.
Later you are talking to them
and letting them which hotel you will be staying at during your stay and where
you would like to spend time with them. As you have been conversation with them
as you give your agenda for your upcoming trip and give all the details where
you will meet on that certain day.
Everything is all planned up
for your venue you than hear can you do me a favor sometimes you are hesitant
to ask what they favor maybe. You don't want to be greedy because that person
will be showing you around where you have no clue how to go about in their environment
that they live in.
You say, sure what is that
favor you want me. The person tells you they miss the food in the Philippines
and would like you to bring some snacks for them.
The hardest part when you are
not familiar in what they are asking for because too much brain storming in
your head.
My family back home does that
too often ask me to bring stuff for them and I only have one week to look for
what they want.
The worse part when the item is
no longer available and the only thing you can tell your family to just buy it
where they live.
I have also encounter my in-law
asking me to buy something from California and they knew I have been away for
more than a month yet they think buying something out of the blue is easy to
purchase right away.
This all becomes a headache
when you have shipped out boxes ahead of time and thinking you would have space
in your luggage for recent purchase you have already made.
This is why I can understand
why I have relatives who decide not to tell us when they are coming and just
surprise us from their arrival. They too have to deal with family members
asking them to buy them certain stuff that they too have no space for what they
are asking for.
It becomes a pain when someone
doesn't think ahead of time and you get all stress for something that seems
already planned in your head.
