Sentidokomon

By Joy B. Miranda

It was an ordinary quite chilly evening in Boston but Costas and I were in the mood to go out for dinner. We went to the famous Legal Sea Foods restaurant and voila! the place was jampacked with costumers. Though we already called for a table reservation earlier, we still waited for about an hour and a half as there were plenty of people waiting before us. Anyway, it was a dinner I couldnt forget because I had only a plateful of lobster which looked tempting in the menu. Taste was good, alright. When the bill came, I wanted to puke. It said: 100 dollars for one plate of lobster! My brain went straight to converting it to Philippine peso: P5,000 or equivalent to more or less four sacks of rice! Oh well…I was feeling guilty for such unnecessary extravagance but it was a wonderful time being spent with Costas, perhaps he thought I was worth it! And so I was, indeed!
