Why am I blogging about a restaurant? Well Romulo Cafe have placed a mark on my heart. Two days ago my mom together with my sister and I went to Romulo Cafe to pick up the Chicken Relleno my mom ordered which will be served on New Years Day. I was playing Snoopy Street Fair on my itouch while waiting for the Chicken Relleno. It was the only thing I was holding because I decided to leave all my other stuffs in the car. When I went to the comfort room I placed it on top of the toilet bowl. Everything was going fine until my sister came in telling me to hurry up because my forever impatient mother hates having to wait for anyone adding to my other worry that I might already have a stain on my outfit because it's the time of the month and I'm on my second day!!! So I went into full rush and panic mode and immediately left without checking whether I left something or not. My mind was just on my period and my VIP mother but this time more on my mother. Once I got home I decided to go to the mall and buy new jeans which I haven't done since senior year in college. That loooooong. I told my mom about it and she said she'd come with me since it's hot at home. While we were both walking on the way to the car, it hit me. I forgot my itouch at the comfort room in Romulo Cafe. I asked my sister to phone Cafe Romulo to check on it. Half of my heart wasn't expecting anymore that I'd still get it back. It's not just any gadget and in most cases when a gadget such as an Apple itouch is left behind chances are the person who finds it first will take it for him/her to use or sell for cash. However, Half of me also still believed that I might still get it back. Not that I'm being a hypocrite but Romulo Cafe is not just any restaurant. It is a fine dining place catering to middle to upper class. They can afford these things and wouldn't need to steal. But then I was leaning more towards the side wherein I'd never get it back anymore. It saddened me so much thinking how I wouldn't find my itouch anymore. It pained me knowing how much I loved my itouch and how I always seek comfort from my itouch in times of stress, sadness and even happiness. It placed a special part in me just like anyone who had an itouch and loved it as much as I did.
And then, my sister called while my mom and I were on our way to Romulo Cafe and told me the best news I have ever heard in months. They have it with them and I can claim it from the manager. Once I got to the store the store manager raised his hands to signal that he was the manager and he's got my itouch. I dashed towards the manager who for some reason knew instantly that I was the one he was waiting for. I thanked the restaurant staffs and left feeling light. I was so close to tears knowing that I got my itouch back. This thing has a sentimental value and that it served as my companion in times of distress and joy. It's been for me throughout my entire journey in my senior year in college and through all of my "first times". I can never lose this thing EVER.
Anyway, another point I am trying to tell is that through this experience, it made me believe that we still have hope. How many times in a day do we think or say out loud that the world is f*cked up and we're all hopeless or things will never get better because the damage done is already too deep. I guess, we don't have to look too deeply into things. Overanalysis ruins. We keep on focusing on the bad side of things that leads us to think that we can never rise from the ground anymore. All we have to do is to look on what's there and go along. Yes, we may have dropped to the ground but it doesn't mean that all the good things have stopped happening. We just have to allow our eyes to see things we don't bother to look at in most days.
Thank you to all of the staffs of Romulo Cafe, you will all be blessed. By the way, I highly recommend you to dine in there. I had their Chicken Relleno last night for New Year's Eve dinner and it's heavenly.
