Restaurants To Try Before You Die

It has been a practice of mine to visit Yahoo.com and check the news and articles everyday both internationally and locally.  My day would not be complete without reading news and interesting articles from Yahoo.

Today an article which bears the title "Restaurants to Try Before You Die" caught my attention. I actually appreciated the writer for coming up with such a catching title.  Who would not want to read such!  As a food lover myself, I'm interested to know what these restaurants are. I was hoping there's one in the list from the Philippines since it's much easier to visit and try...before I die(hehehe) but I know there's a very slim chance for my wish, knowing there are a lot of great restaurants out there.

As what I expected, restaurants from France and Spain made it to the ultimate gastronome destination(I so love the term!) as well as from Japan and Hongkong.  Reading through the article is such a torture, as I read on the superb and detailed description of the food and drinks from the restaurants listed, I was thinking when can I have a piece of this!

I don't know how and when will I have an chance to visit and try these restaurants that secured a spot on the food lover's list and gastronome's map.  I surely wish it will happen, before I die.

Random Thoughts

My thoughts just keep on wandering, randomly.

I think of what to do at work, what to eat, what to wear, when to sleep or what worthy movie to watch.  I think of former President Gloria Macapacal-Arroyo and her neck braces, I think of Supreme Court Spokesperson Atty. Midaz Marquez and Piolo Pascual, I think of DOJ Secretary Atty. Leila de Lima and Senator Meriam Defesonsor Santiago(will they cross roads someday???), I think of the price of gasoline and public vehicles fare, I think of the monthly taxes deducted from my salary and the hospital ambulance that we have to pay for gasoline.

I think of the kids sleeping in the streets and the kids sleeping in a soft bed in an air-conditioned room, I think of the children who goes to school without breakfast and the kids who don't eat because they don't like the food on their table.  I think of the parents working abroad, longing to hug and kiss their kids and the parents who are with their children, forgets their kid's birthday and remembers only after it's over.

I remember Alanis Morisette's song, "Isn't it Ironic?". "Traffic jam when you're already late, ten thousand spoons and all you need is knife, won a lottery and died the next day".  "It's meeting the man of my dreams And then meeting his beautiful wife. Isn't it ironic, don't you think?". 

Yes it is, life is truly ironic but it makes life exciting, challenging and at times funny.
