Central London

2 weekends ago, there was a Dutch Trade Fair in Trafalgar Square. Since it was my day off and baby's too, we decided to go. To go with the theme, we wore our orange shirts of course.

it was a bit windy when we went out of the house, but when we got to the Square, it was very hot! We had to take our jumpers off for more ventilation.

Indeed it was a well attended event. Food, music, people, everything in Dutch. It felt like home for baby.

that same day, was the big game for our favorite team, Arsenal Gunners against Chelsea. We just had to watch it. Honey looked for pubs around the area that shows it but had a hard time finding any. So he decided to just go to the big Sports Bar nearby. It was absolutely massive. By the time we got in, we couldnt find seats anymore, so we stood up while watching the game. The guys to our front right were so loud! One time two men wrestled and they hit the man who stood just right next to me. Thanks to the man coz it would have been me. Silly immature men! Anyway, it was a good match but Arsenal lost. It just wasnt their day. Huhuhuh!

Since I havent been to Soho, my baby took me there. It was the gayest area of London. Everywhere you look they are there. I even saw men walking hand in hand. So sweet! We went into this gay shop and to my surprise, they have a DVD of "Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros". Amazing! The shop had everything really even the really sexy ones, from videos to gadgets. All in there!

While walking on the streets, I had the shock of my life, when my baby suddenly gave me a kiss on the lips. It was public! I never thought he could do that. But he was so brave! It was the sweetest!

We got tired of walking, our stomach was complaining already. Baby said that we eat at Belgo, which was a Belgian restaurant in Covent Garden. When we got there, it was so full, the receptionist said that we have to wait for 30-45 minutes to get in. Since we really wanted it, we waited until they had seats for us. The entrance is very dramatic. It was like a bridge. And you have to go downstairs where the main restaurant was. We both had mussels and beer which were there house favorites. After the waitress got our order, I couldnt help myself, I almost broke down to tears. I was ever so grateful to baby for showing me the beautiful things in life. I would never ever have experienced all these things if it wasnt for him. I felt so blessed and at the same time special. He held my hand while tears fell on my eyes. I am just very amazed of how someone can make me feel something like this. So loved and wanted.

He's got so much effect on me, he managed to make me smile, especially when the food came. It was very very delicious. We enjoyed each of the mussels to bits. Hmmmm.... When he said that this was the best restaurant in London, I knew then what he was talking. And price wise, it aint that bad. It wasnt very expensive at all. We had desserts right after but again I couldnt finish mine because it was just a lot. Not that i dont like it, i just couldnt eat it anymore.

I had to work the next day, so we parted ways in Tottenham Court Road station. Another lovely weekend for us. Cheers baby!

  1. I just wanted to say how much I admire you. You are making a really good effort to move away from the care home in Epping, where they are treating you so badly. And every interview you go for, you have success, which have now landed you 2 jobs to chose from! Amazing!!! And in between you had a really hard time missing your loved one whilst he was away for 12 days! Believe me, every moment of those 12 days, I was missing you like mad as well. I was constantly thinking: o, I wish Myk was here to see this, and that. On Sunday, I felt so bad; I have never ever felt worse. Even lifting my head up when lying in bed, made me see black and stars and the ceiling turning fast. I was even too weak to say to you that I need you....
    Well, I can tell you that tonight, face to face, at the Mika concert. :-)
