Relishing the Chinese Food of Wok Mandarin Sky

My friends treated me and my barkada to the delicious Chinese food of Wok Mandarin Sky in their new branch here in #27 Panay Avenue, near Roces Avenue.  It's very near my house as well.

The place has a nice ambience with beautiful furniture and exquisite lighting. The food though is a bit pricey yet was very tasty.

Our deepest condolences to the Thai people on the death of their King

In a sad coincidence, I wore this shirt to work today, only to find out later that the king of Thailand, King Bhumibol Adulyadej passed away.

We bought this shirt during one of our Bangkok trips because we noticed that there were so many people in the city wearing yellow.

We learned later on that it was the 80th birthday of their king, and yellow was his colour, so we bought this shirt as a souvenir.

We offer our deepest condolences to all our Thai friends on this day of national mourning.

Congratulations Bob Dylan!

Thanks to the 1995 movie Dangerous Minds, I was introduced to the poetry of Bob Dylan.

In the movie, Michelle Pfeiffer's character, who was a real-life teacher named Louanne Johnson, taught these kids, the beauty of the protest songs of Bob Dylan.

I learned later on that many of my favorite songs were written by Dylan like Adele's 'Make You Feel My Love' and Sonny and Cher's 'All I Want to Do".

I remember using Adele's song as a love letter to one of my ex's since I am not a poet. The simplicity and directness of the lyrics were what I was trying to say.

Make You Feel My Love by Bob Dylan

"When the rain is blowing in your face,

And the whole world is on your case,

I could offer you a warm embrace

To make you feel my love.

When the evening shadows and the stars appear,

And there is no one there to dry your tears,

I could hold you for a million years

To make you feel my love.

I know you haven't made your mind up yet,

But I will never do you wrong.

I've known it from the moment that we met,

No doubt in my mind where you belong.

I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue,

I'd go crawling down the avenue.

No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do

To make you feel my love.

The storms are raging on the rolling sea

And on the highway of regret.

The winds of change are blowing wild and free,

You ain't seen nothing like me yet.

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.

Nothing that I wouldn't do.

Go to the ends of the Earth for you,

To make you feel my love

To make you feel my love"
