Tapas

Had a great night out with good friends last night, over wine, tapas, coffee, and cheesecake. Honestly, my own diet hasn't been the best over this long weekend, since Friday.

First time I had a dinner of tapas, at Barcino in Global City—sure, some of the items were chorizo in oil and cheese, but since we were eating just little bites, it didn't feel like it was going to be something we'd regret. We were surprisingly full from the tapas, and we only had one glass of red wine each. When we split the bill, our food only cost 250 pesos per person. Not bad! I paid for the bottle of wine myself (a Malbec from Argentina that I chose), as a treat for my friends.

Now, this coming week, I'm looking forward to behave, to make up for the weekend's excesses (read: curb down dessert!). It's going to be a drag to force myself to exercise, but I just remind myself to take advantage of the cool air, both at night and in the early morning.
