Wagyu Beef + Sides

New type of post. I'm going to start blogging about food. The weird ones only. So today the missus and I went to Las Vacas. Not to be confused with Vegas. This place is a butchery that serve premium meat. We ordered a wagyu ribeye steak 7 250g. 

Wagyu steak is undoubtedly very tasty. The texture is good. The garlic bread and salad are just mediocre 

What's not that good

- the price. They don't tell you the price of the whole package. The raw steak is different. On top of that the charge and extra. So that's just false advertising 

Verdict: Good food. Bad price

There are better steak joins than this. 

Day 162: Finally the weekend

Yesterday I was alone. Most of my friends were off on leave. Good thing there was one other guy who is there. We went for lunch together. He then spill the company secrets on how the company has favoritism and how some people are better notice than others. I do notice that every company needs someone to blame in their department. I do believe I am the guy for my department. Probably because I am new l. But I usually cover my basis. After lunch, I left since I don't think my work will be different If I do it from home. And today is the weekend. Yay

Day 161: Today is a bad day

Got to work, got hassled by office mates. I know they all just do it for good fun... So I really don't care that much. Sometimes I wonder is it my responsibility to get the final tender done? I would say its a team effort since everyone needs to pitch in. After that from 3pm til 630pm I went inside a meeting to finalize the points to make for another tender that is due in next 2 weeks. This one looks bleak since there is one key component that is not met and it is a big chunk of the report. And we only have less than 10 days to compile the massive document. I know on Friday next week I'll be doing an all nighter at the office . Man Im so tired and wish I didn't have to go to work tomorrow. But I hate to waste my holiday and I am not sick enough to warrant leave. I do know I am solo tomorrow since all my friends are on leave... Yay...

Day 160: Work went smoothly today

Everything went ok today. All my checklist was met. I send my stuff before I head home at 5pm. Besides that I found out my peer evaluation from my colleagues. Out of 10 im in the middle. So I am average. Which is good since I'm not that bad and not that good. Try again next year 

Level up: +1

Current level: 32

My kid got bullied

My kid is in a new school. She loved the old school. But she is being brave for us in the new school. Since the new school has redneck kids who doesn't understand the value of being nice. They keep teasing her to the point that she cried for hours. I wish I could ground pound the kids. There are 3 people to blame in this situation. 

1) The parents - for not instiling good values to their kids

2) The teachers - for taking this as 'kids will be kids attitude' and not solving the root cause 

3) The kids - well you can't blame the kids. They are just kids... Man beating kids is not recommended but I really wish I could do that 

Met the principle this morning. Principle said she will look into it. I'm not holding my breath. My wife said that she cried again this evening. If tomorrow she cries again the gloves are coming off.
