days...

It's been busy weeks and days. Well, I wasn't that busy, though. Only my schedule is busy and working at the kitchens was busy. From Friday to Monday, I'm at Veritas and rest of week, Tuesday to Thursday, is for Anthos. I like both restaurants. Each restaurant has different cuisine and ingredients since Veritas is very classical French and Anthos is modern Greek. Even though the hours at Veritas is at least 10 hours per day, it's been enjoyable to work there. One very interesting thing is that I haven't seen any chef use so much Foie Gras, Truffle, and Caviar. Chef Gragory has really good knowledge of use these ingredients to blend with many other things, like a magical potion.
Anthos is also a good place to work; people are nice and menu is very interesting. only one trouble is that I don't have regular schedule because Chef de Cuisine, Constantin (I hope the spell is right), couldn't have chance to talk the owner and Chef, Chef Constantine call me sometimes when he needs extra help. I am not officially, hired yet. Since he graduated CIA and liked how I work in the kitchen, I always have a chance to work there as long as he needs my hands. I was supposed to work yesterday and today at Anthos. I've been waiting for a phone call from Anthos, yet I guess he doesn't need me this week. Well, people always said "looking at bright side." The bight side of this week was that I actually have a little vacations for three days, so I have time for my lady. She will leave New York next month. Since I've been working so many hours, I couldn't spend time with her much. Last two days, she was happy to be with me all day long. Today, I have a surprise for her. I knew that she will not have a chance to see this blog until midnight so it is okay to write on blog about my plane for tonight. Three weeks ago, I booked a dinner reservation at Gilt, which is two Michelin starred restaurant. Fancy fine dining but romance place for young couple, of course for everyone, was the reasons to pick this place. I gave a few clues of where we going to have a dinner, but she still has no idea for tonight. I just told her to wear something nice. I believe tonight is going to be a best night for us.
It's been while to write something on my blog due to fact that I always tired and had to stay with her after work. After I came home, we always talk each other for couple hours, talking about the day we had. I sometimes so tired and had to do something, so I couldn't pay attention what she was talking about. She really hate me when I act like that. I really tried not to do like that, but it happened. Sorry baby, I will try harder.
I think I am really a workaholic. Without doing absolutely nothing for two days made me to look for a job on Craiglise.org again and think about doing something. I guess too tight with my pocket so I am not feel comfortable to being nothing. I wish I could have a relax off duty day without worrying about anything. My day is just started now. Nothing is related me with Jesus's B-day tomorrow, yet, what the hell, it's holiday!! Loving and Giving is all about the day. That is what I got to do with my lovely lady.
