When a different variety of wine is served with each distinct course, the classification is as follows:

  • With appetizer, sometimes a cocktail; oftener nothing.
  • With oysters, sauterne.
  • With the soup, pale sherry.
  • With the fish, hock or sauterne.
  • With the entrees, claret or Burgundy.
  • With the roast, champagne.
  • With the game, Burgundy.
  • With cold dishes and hot or cold sweets, champagne.
  • With dessert or cheese, port wine.
  • With coffee, liqueurs.

It’s a matter of perspective.

Life seems to be so complicated. How we look at things gives the difference. If we could make “things” answerable by yes or no, wouldn’t that be great? ;) no “or” or “maybe”s. If life is that simple wouldn’t it be better?

Hate it.

F’ng friendzoned. Or am I?

Just like that.

And just like that, a phrase ended it all. Damn.

Breakfast @ Stackers.

Ordered their stack burger (most basic among their wide variety of burgers) w/ fries and drink upgrade.

Not bad for the price of 170 pesos, 

Ther Review: 
Burger: 6/10
- the patty was dry, but the add on’s were great, specially their options on sauces, had aussie beef sauce. 

Fries: 7/10
- fresh, crisp and well seasoned.

Drink: 4/10
- had pepsi light, very bland. I don’t think it was because of the ice, drank it freshly served. sodas in can still wins.

Service: 7/10
-Well mannered, polite.

Overall: 7/10
- a go to place in cases of sudden hunger.

Will try their premium options next time.

In all seriousness, this winter storm has turned into a nasty one: three people are dead and there are millions along the East Coast are without power.
Got snow where you are?
