chad, libre imong kaon didto?

as in to eat nga kaon gyud sa sud? dili, pero naay discount.

pero if u talk about "kaon"... of course, kaon behind the scenes.

Just wondering.... what's the name of the place? Who's the head chef? High end places usually have chefs that holds some recognition and stature. I assume that you won't have any problem disclosing such info since that's free advertising.

Again - I still find your story fictional and very inconsistent.

A while ago, you stated that you worked at Mickey D's... then now you're saying that each of your parents are giving you 1k/month for allowance. Tell me, why did you even bother working at Mickey D's anyways? Why did you work for tips after the stint in Mickey D's?

You may have your reasons.. you know what, don't bother explaining them to me `cause you're not really obligated to.

By the way... I wasn't generalizing.. I was comparing you with my friend who works at the same industry. And as far as I know.. no matter if you're related to the owner or you're just an ordinary employee, the establishment would never pay you over-the-top wages that could offset the books.

Anyhow - again, you don't have to explain yourself. Let's just say that you're holding on to your statements and I remain skeptical about it. Copacetic?

only one anwer to this coz isa ra ka QUESTION nakapa-interest nako nga MUTUBAG --> OFCORZZZZ PRA NAAY EXPERIENCE BRAD..LoL unsa mana nga pangutana ui, FICTIONAL MAN SAD KAAYU... ikaw? nganu ni-trabaho man ka sa FIRST JOB NIMU?! pra mag DUWA2x ug JOLIN?! pagka nalang gyod, HUTDAN NAKA UG PANGUTANA JUDGE?!

Nindot nasad diri da ... hehe.... Ingon ana gyud na ang kinabuhi, kita ra gyuy nahibalo kung unsa gyud ang tinood nahitabo sa atong mga kinabuhi abroad, nagpakaaron ingnon lang ba ta, sakaysakay lang ba sa panahon, o unsa ba diha. Ang maminaw or nakabasa, katungod sad na niya iyang reaction. Anyway, libre man diri sa Istorya either tinood ang mga gipang-post or dili. Pero alegre man sad, makahatag man gihapon ug ideas sa ubang nagplano mo-abroad... hehehe

My first job was as a PT AID sa among Out Patient Rehab Clinic sa Florida. I was also doing the billing (medical billing) for the clinic.

Hutdan na kog pangutana? Dude, wa man gani ka mo tubag sa uban nakong pangutana. The simple question of your restaurant's name - you even dodged that. Your chef's name... High end man kaha inyong place?

Like I said... you were not obligated to answer but then if mo demand pa kag pangutana, you should answer the rest of the questions THEN you can have the audacity to ask for more.

Karon alibi nimo kay para experience, why did you stay at that job for two years? 2 Years flipping burgers and cleaning trays and tables is a bit too much just for the sake of experience.

By the way - you don't have to be such an ass towards me just because I'm questioning your credibility. I just find your story hard to believe. Ug ni ingon pa kag "Naa rana nimo bai ug dili ka mo tuo" - It would've made more impression on me compared to your being very defensive about it.

Pero bisan baya ang mga high-end restaurants, igo gihapon sa recession. Daghan establishments diri sa amo nanirado or nagka gidlay.. from diners to top shelf places. Ang diner tawn sa among tungod nga paborito sa akong mga anak ilang pancakes, nanirado lag kalit.

Oh well .... I hope everyone's taking advantage of this "fake" rebound we're having right now.

What do you mean aning "fake" EZRA? Medyo nalipay lipay na baya unta ko'g gamay kay ning saka2x ang stocks sa among company, I was hoping nga ang 201k basin ma upgrade gamay into 301k.

[EZRA]

Dorothea - sa ako lang ning opinion ha. I think it's not really a real bounce in the market. I think dili pa ni mao. Tingali kini nga bounce mo last ug pila ra ka months pero I wouldn't be surprised if mo naog nasab ug balik kay tan-awa, ga bounce lagi kuno ta pero nag sige gihapon ug foreclose unya nag sige gihapon ug declare ug bankruptcy or pang lay-off ang mga companies.
