Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...
Two days ago I was talking to my friend and she had mentioned to me she woke up having a dream.
In her dream she was a successful lawyer and when she woke up she felt her current job had no challenge to push her forward in looking into her work daily.
Do you think it is too late to go back to college when you’re in the half of a century?
Does anyone you know have place themselves to school at an old age?
My friend felt she wanted to go back to school even if she had counted how many years it would take when she would graduate.
Sometimes in our life we choose a major that we’re unsure what type we wanted and only went based on who we’re dating during our college years.
We never consider or look ahead to see what we’re actually good at when we’re young.
Or who knows we had parents who had meddle in our own career choices saying you’re not good at that field.
Either way we reach a turning point in our career where there is no challenge and direction to go forward.
We put ourselves to think further to see whether the thought of becoming a lawyer would have been a better choice if they had decided upon it years ago.
Or is it just a phase in our life where we’re just not happy at our current employment.
My friend whom I have spoken on the phone is not the only one feeling this way. I’ve come across a lot of my friends they felt they made the wrong choices by working in a company or career they fell for during that time.
When you’re older it is hard to decide whether to stay at you’re current job because you begin to think when you start to retire will you be able to have the savings and earnings till the years to come.
You tend to withdraw from what you want from yourself and confuse whether if you’ve made a wrong decision.
I have friends who have told me that Carmina you’re wasting your time from all the English you know you can be using it somewhere else where you can have an income from it.
I guess I never consider myself lucky to have English my first language and Tagalog became my second.
