"13 Things Your Waiter Won't Tell You"

Source: Reader's Digest Magazine

1. Avoid eating out on holidays and Saturday nights. The sheer volume of customers guarantees that most kitchens will be pushed beyond their ability to produce a high-quality dish.

2. There are almost never any sick days in the restaurant business. A busboy with a kid to support isn't going to stay home and miss out on $100 because he's got strep throat. And these are the people handling your food.

3. When customers' dissatisfaction devolves into personal attacks, adulterating food or drink is a convenient way for servers to exact covert vengeance. Some waiters can and do spit in people's food.

4. Never say "I'm friends with the owner." Restaurant owners don't have friends. This marks you as a clueless poseur the moment you walk in the door.

5. Treat others as you want to be treated. (Yes, people need to be reminded of this.)

6. Don't snap your fingers to get our attention. Remember, we have shears that cut through bone in the kitchen.

7. Don't order meals that aren't on the menu. You're forcing the chef to cook something he doesn't make on a regular basis. If he makes the same entrée 10,000 times a month, the odds are good that the dish will be a home run every time.

8. Splitting entrées is okay, but don't ask for water, lemon, and sugar so you can make your own lemonade. What's next, grapes so you can press your own wine?

9. If you find a waiter you like, always ask to be seated in his or her section. Tell all your friends so they'll start asking for that server as well. You've just made that waiter look indispensable to the owner. The server will be grateful and take good care of you.

10. If you can't afford to leave a tip, you can't afford to eat in the restaurant. Servers could be giving 20 to 40 percent to the busboys, bartenders, maître d', or hostess.

11. Always examine the check. Sometimes large parties are unaware that a gratuity has been added to the bill, so they tip on top of it. Waiters "facilitate" this error. It's dishonest, it's wrong-and I did it all the time.

12. If you want to hang out, that's fine. But increase the tip to make up for money the server would have made if he or she had had another seating at that table.

13. Never, ever come in 15 minutes before closing time. The cooks are tired and will cook your dinner right away. So while you're chitchatting over salads, your entrées will be languishing under the heat lamp while the dishwasher is spraying industrial-strength, carcinogenic cleaning solvents in their immediate vicinity.

My boyfriend played this movie when I went to his house today.





Basically, some chemists/ pathologists dumped stuff that they weren't suppose to dump in the sink and six years later, a fish got infected by the stuff and mutated to some freak monster, who learns to walk on land, then procedes to destroy the world.

Pretty chill S. Korean monster film. You should watch it!

Relient K - High of 75

We were talking together, I said "what's up with this weather?"
Don't know whether or not how sad I just got
Was of my own volition or if I'm just missing the sun

And tomorrow, I know, will be rainy at best
And the forecast, I know, is that I'll be depressed
But I'll wait outside hoping that I'll catch sight of the sun

Because on and off the clouds have fought
for control over the sky
And lately the weather has been so bipolar
And Consequently so have I

And now I'm sunny with a high of 75
Since you took my heavy heart and made it light
And it's funny how you find you enjoy your life
When you're happy to be alive

And the temperature is freezing
And then, after dark,
There is a cold front sweeping in over my heart
And we might break up
If I don't wake up to the sun

MLS > FTLY

Celsius drew these for me after I finished watching Fated To Love You. She's trying to convince me that it's better than My Lucky Star... but it's not working xD.

MLS will forever be my #1 drama <3



The following is an attempt to dethrone MLS.



Every baby is brought to this world hand-in-hand by God. And not a single one is an accident!



Little baby got called back to Heaven.



Xin Yi: A girl is innocent when she is fooled the first time. But she is naive if she is fooled the second time. And if she is fooled the third time, she is simply stupid.
Cun Xi: I only know that the first time is accidental. The second time is inevitable. And the third time is fated.



Anna: Within a population of 5 billion, you slept with the wrong person. Within a population of 5 billion, you met again. This certificate guarantees the love of you two.

Fated To Love You was great, but cannot be compared to My Lucky Star ;x

The drawings and quotes were lovely though! Thank you Celsius <3

Pop Pop Pop

My dad's music angers me. I can't hear my drama T_T;

I want to watch my Fated To Love You....



"Life is like a gamble. You can't win every game. But if the chip is in your hands, you will always have hope."

Seventeen~

Cun Xi: Chen Xin Yi, stop being so good to me.
Xin Yi: You got sick because of me. It's only right for me to take care of you. Don't make me worry, okay?
Cun Xi: Don't come near me. We have already decided to become strangers. I have already prepared myself to leave you. Let me tell you. We have no relation anymore. If you come in with me, I can't guarantee what will happen. You're still not leaving?
Xin Yi: I know you're just trying to scare me. You want to make me leave on purpose, right? I'm not afraid. I'm not the Chen Xin Yi from before anymore. You can't scare me.
Cun Xi: I'm not pretending. I really will dare to do anything. Are you leaving or not?
Xin Yi: No.

And then...



Wow, he's so bold ;D

Sigh... if only real life was like this.... dramas make me hate accepting reality for what it really is. They feed me with so much bullcrap and false hope. Makes snapping back to reality so much more harder than it needs to be.... and sorry, but it's true -- chivalry is DEAD.
