good decision...good decision...


moksha. october 19, 2003. 1130pm. great food. wonderful ambience. amazing friends.


and i almost couldn't join them for this late dinner. my face was still a bit swollen and bruised (medical reasons still inexplicable; i have to go back to the doctor). but i somehow sensed that the dinner would be something different and i had to be there. my instincts were right.

the food was enticing indeed! hats off to la ming (lee's dear sister). the place was very cozy, and i started to believe that we broke the warm and solemn ambience because we tend to be a bit raucous. =P favorite lines that night were enigma's "san MIGUEL light" and brat's "FF -- friends forever". my top1 was with us too...and of course...the teasing was endless. even if he weren't there, it wouldn't have bothered me...let's just say that top1 was the icing on the cake. =)

more than anything else, it felt good to be there when a friend needed a listening ear the most. it was a brief moment but we bonded profoundly. i sincerely hope that my friend will make it through..it takes time..but i know she'll be ok. she has to be ok - she deserves to be...

there have been some gimmicks that i had to pass up, and typically, i wouldn't regret not joining. but if i've missed this dinner, i know it would have been something i would truly regret...and i am so glad that i made the right decision that night. it was one of the most memorable yuppie nights.
