Globe Lumpia - Quiapo's Special Treat

There are a lot of places to see in Quiapo. It's a hobbyist heaven whether it be music, arts and crafts, sport, photography or whatever it may be, Quiapo is the place to go because of the affordable price of the things here. You can explore the whole district and wont be able to help yourself in shopping. But if in case that you get hungry from your trip, I highly recommend on eating at Globe Lumpia House in Gonzalo Puyat street. It was established in 1956 at Globe theater in Quiapo. The theater/movie house building is already closed for decades but the lumpia store survived the test of time. They served freshly prepared lumpia made of vegetables, peanut and lettuce and a special sweet sauce. The taste is so good that they are always featured in different television shows. The long queue at their store is another proof that they are serving delicious food. Just imagine for less than PHP20.00 you can order can 1 serving of their famous lumpia. 

Try it out and tell me you're experience at Globe Lumpia. 

A New Start

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end" Closing Time - Semisonic

True to the lyrics, we needed to end something before we can start on something else and I just did that. I just left the company that I had been working for. I know I will be leaving a position that I had for almost 4 years and by all the benefits that goes along with it. Some ask me if I have any regrets with my decision. I tell them that there's none. If there is, maybe I should had left sooner. But then again last year when I was about leave the company my mom got sick and I needed to step up again as the breadwinner in the family. 

Will I miss my coworkers? I certainly will, somehow we were able to create some connection. But I can't stay in a place wherein the needs of an employee are not being heard. When the one you expect to support you becomes overbearing. No amount of money is worth the stress and pressure that I felt  for the past few weeks. 

I may have join the big bucket of people who are unemployed but I'm hopeful, no make that I believe, I believe I can find better work than the previous one. For now, I will use the time to go back on the things that I love to do before all the stress happened since last december.
