the city was unusually quiet. it might have been because it was just after the TUC protest rally the day before.
the church was so beautiful drenched in sunlight, which i wasn't used to for the 5:30pm mass (normally when we go to this time schedule,its dark outside). (imagine the priest at the grand altar, spotlighted by sun streaming through the cathedral's colour-tainted windows).
my family who have been here can attest why when in the philippines we detest being in the throes of humid-heat, while here i adore the unusual sunny-ness. its because, when its sunny here, there is no humidity, just perfect temperature (you wont get sweaty) and the beauty of england shines under the glare of sun.it signal's the start of spring-summer.
after church, i had to buy my supplies of phonecards at a filipino store,and a dinner at a new found restaurant.
some photos of the day.

waiting for 5:30pm. this was about 5pm.
so he thinks he's cool, let him believe it (because i do too). i love him to pieces.
i always remember my sister Ana whenever i have a Victorian sponge...its (one of) her fave cakes.
i love Costa's coffee..they always have two espresso shots as minimum
one of Costa's branches just at the square across Westminster Cathedral

went to the filipino store. adrian and i thought of going to earls court Zizzi branch for some pasta.
when i was inside the filipino store buying my supplies, he passed by this hidden thai restaurant just near the store.
he suggested we try it.
so we did.
the yummy yummy starters
he was chatting and telling me about finding this nook. it was hidden and quaint. he felt good about finding it:-)
fried crispy fish in sweet and sour sauce (L) and king prawns in black and bean sauce (R)
mixed vegetable stir fry and special fried rice for adrian
our favourite pad thai..this one was one of the best we've had
pork in ginger, coriander soy;-)
fried banana's for dessert (mine)
lemon sorbet
he said to me he missed going out on regular dates with me eversince i became a student.
we both look forward to the coming months as we both know i will no longer be a student soon (who feels guilty being away from her books).

I like small restaurants with good food--the latter being the more important. It feels just like eating at home.
I am glad to know that Adrian likes Asian food. :-)
