Bouncing Neutrinos

Paul invited me to eat
lunch at the Tea Room Restaurant in his college since he was going to be a
waiter there for his lab work (’cool-ness’, no?). Since I would be coming from
the CSRC from my own lab (which is by the way duller compared to learning cool
stuffs about fine dining -even if it WAS interesting: I made a program that can
compute for the area of a circle! Yay!). I went there with my Physics friend
Jeremy, the master violinist; fun conversation over physics and the pretty
waitress-classmate of Paul (hahaha, I literally can’t stop smiling, she - was -
SO -PRETTY).  Lunch was good although not as exciting as Chocolate Kiss
but it was -in my opinion- better and cheaper than  at Oz Cafe
(Note:  Take-out iced tea worth only 10 pesos!), I had fish (again!) while
Jeremy ordered chicken. We left the place satisfied with the food and the
eye-candy and headed straight to our homes to take a nap since our next class
would still be after 2 hours.

While walking on my way to class from the dorm, I met a batchmate of my kuya:

Me: <Nods head as
greeting, smiles>
Kuya’s batchmate: "Oy, tumataba ka…"
Me: Ah… <smiles, thought bubble: "Salamat ha…">

Kuya Jordan who we will
henceforth call "Mr. Big Shot" treated me to lunch at Chocolate Kiss
this afternoon, our late celebration of his leaving college (I’m so proud!). It
was only supposed to be a "Rodic’s level" lunch but thanks to
Pacquiao and his 3-round KO win against Morales, Mr. Big Shot lost to a bet we
had and we decided that instead of having two lunch-outs we would just raise
the quality to "Chocolate Kiss level" which is WAY better (for one,
you don’t leave the place smelling like ‘tapa‘).
Conversation was light and friendly. The lunch was delicious! (Notice our empty
plates) Mr. Big Shot ordered Penne with Hungarian Sausage while I had Tuna
Steak, I totally recommend the fish steak, the sauce is fantastic. We had
dessert, it was my treat this time; he got Devil’s Food Cake while I ordered
Chocolate Chip Cheese Cake, I made the better choice, the cheese cake was to
die for! Mr. Big Shot however didn’t finish his cake which he found too sweet -so I ate what was left.

Oh well, there goes all my efforts in jogging. Sigh.

O Love that wilt not let
me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
that in thine ocean depths its flow
may richer, fuller be.

O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
my heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
may brighter, fairer be.

O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain,
that morn shall tearless be.

O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red
life that shall endless be.
