Don't you just feel so useless when you're friend's clearly having the worst time of her life, and there's barely a thing that you can do or say that will make things better? I ran the scenarios through my head several times already, and there is nothing. If I give her advice, I won't be telling her things that she doesn't already know. If I tell her that I'll be there for her...how will that help? I want to give her a tight hug, but alas, no.
Anyway, yesterday afternoon, I posted something on Facebook and it received a lot of 'likes'. The amount of 'likes' took me slightly by surprise. I knew it was funny, but not that funny. Anyway, it received over 90 'likes'...but the sad thing is that it's not completely true. For the sake of completeness, I fabricated a part of the post...and no one knows about it. I'm feeling slightly guilty, but also mildly amused. I guess I am a born storyteller after all.
Today, I had brunch at this place called Strictly Pancakes. The clientele is too young for my liking - lots of teens, from the looks of it. They were very strict too, with our booking. All in all, the place didn't leave a very favourable image with me, because it seems like they're more concerned with getting lots of traffic, rather than giving customers a relaxing experience. They're stingy with the butter (they gave only a little, and charged $0.50 if you ask for extra), they clear your plates way too quickly, and the space was cramped as hell.
The pancake I ordered was above-average. Good, but not good enough to overwrite the other factors that I listed above. Today would have been the fourth time I'm visiting the place. I'm never coming back again, if I had a choice. Today was an exception because out of the 7 of us, I was the only one who had gone there before. New things are always exciting, so I agreed with their decision to go to a subpar place for brunch.
Going to Kith Cafe tomorrow. I'm quite excited. Tomorrow is shaping up to be really busy. Brunch, and then I'm off to sign my contract for my LOA, and then I'm off to get my visa for India sorted out. Busy busy busy. I'll log off here then folks. Have a good evening. :)
