Chapter 20

After my two hours class for marketing, I have an hour lunch break since it is already noon and just the right time to have some lunch, I'll skip my office tasks for now and just finish it before I go home today. After my lunch, I have to attend my second subject for today, the organizational behavior, it was schedule from one - ten in the afternoon until two - forty in the afternoon. After twenty minutes break, it would be followed by the third and last subject for today, the introduction to computer applications. It was scheduled from three pm to four pm.

But for now, let's go to the restaurant building since it is located near my college building compare to the mall which is located opposite to my location right now. Maybe if I have more free time, I will take my lunch there, I liked the food they served me the last time I ate on that place.

I tidy up my things and fix my hair and put some lip gloss first before I took my phone from my pocket, activate my bluetooth headset and open my spotify app then press shuffle play before I leave my seat. I may not be a glam girl type or person but I still make sure that I look presentable and neat.

* Pretty Girl by Maggie Lindemann *

"I can swear, I can joke

I say what's on my mind

If I drink, if I smoke

I keep up with the guys

And you see me holding up my middle finger to the world

Fuck your ribbons and your pearls

'Cause I'm not just a pretty girl

I'm more than just a picture

I'm a daughter and a sister

Sometimes it's hard for me to show

That I'm more than just a rumor

Or a song on your computer

There's more to me than people know

Some days I'm broke, some days I'm rich

Some days I'm nice, some days I can be a bitch

Some days I'm strong, some days I quit

I don't let it show, but I've been through some shit

I can swear, I can joke

I say what's on my mind

If I drink, if I smoke

I keep up with the guys

And you see me holding up my middle finger to the world

Fuck your ribbons and your pearls… "

This song is one of my current like song list in spotify, although I like the Cheat Codes X CADE Remix version than the original version.

( AN: oh me too, it is also one of my favorite songs right now )

( E: oh yeah? )

( AN: It is true, it is one of my liked songs right now, to be honest, I just heard this song today when my co-worker played it while we are sitting on the staff room and I liked the beat although the lyrics is kind of expressing a bit of rebelliousness but I kind of relate a little bit )

( E: I really don't care Miss A, and can you pleas stop interrupting my story telling? It is my story not yours, I don't want my readers to abandon my story just because you keep interrupting our time )

( AN: I'm sorry, I ... I don't mean to interrupt you * sulking * I ... I am just excited to know that we kind of similar from each other. I ... I am really sorry * cries * )

( E: stop it you make me feel guilty )

( AN: I am really sorry, don't worry I will disappear from now on * turning back and leave * )

I am sorry about that readers, let's just continue the story okay? Please don't abandon me because of being interrupted by the author.

I have different song lists depending on their genres, the old songs, opm songs, love song, pop songs, sad songs and religious songs. I played them based on my mood, I also used music to express my thoughts and feelings most of the time. So if you really know me, you will easily determine my mood and what I feel based on the song played when you hear it.

* After 15 mins *

I just entered the restaurant building and still thinking what kind of food should I eat for lunch. Maybe something easy to digest and won't take a lot of time because I only have less than an hour left and it would took me another 15 minutes if I walk in normal pace or less if I run but I don't want to have appendicitis just because I hurried to attend my next class.

I went to second level and just order a cup of rice and one order of chicken adobo as my main dish and I also ordered leche flan or custard cake for dessert. I just order a small amount of food because I am in a hurry and I can't enjoy the taste of the foods if I order a lot and trying to finish it all in a fast manner.

Chicken adobo is one of the popular filipino dish and it is a favorite of all. Almost all filipinos knows how to cook adobo. Adobo is a type of filipino dish cooked usually in soy sauce and vinegar with the addition of garlic, peppercorn and dried bay leaves. We have many different kinds of adobo. Aside from chicken adobo, we also have different kinds of meat adobos like pork, beef and goat meats that we commonly used. We also used seafoods like fish, vegetables and rice as the main ingredients in adobo dish.

There are more than thirty adobo dishes that we commonly know and aside from that, almost all filipinos have their own version of adobo dishes based on their preferences. I may not be a best cook but I do know how to cook adobo and my favorite adobo dish in seafood category are squid and octopus tentacles adobo, in vegetable category is String beans adobo with any kind of meat then on the snack slush finger food category is the peanut adobo.

If you haven't tried any filipino dishes, you should try it, I promise you, you will love it and it might be your top favorite of all. It lives to its name and popularity, you won't regret trying any filipino dishes. If ever you will visit the country, don't forget to try famous dishes and delicacies of every provinces and islands that the Philippines has to offer. * smiles * I may not be a pure filipino but I am proud to say that I AM A FILIPINO.
