pic a plate: Sampan, Philadelphia, PA

lets toast with some Sampan!

lol was that stupid? i guess. then i again i guess it would make more sense if the reference was understood. caught up with an ex-friend, hopefully now we can maintain a normal friendship if she doesn't fuck up again, last night a this place call Sampan in literally, the Gayborhood of Philadelphia on 13th st.

it has been literally 10 years, a fuckin decade, since i've seen her. i always knew that if we ever bumped into each other that we'd be able to just hit it off again without a hitch because our personalities were so twistedly similar. she has her own life, own relationship, own goals and ambitions, all of which i'm extremely happy for her. she seems to be in a good place with a healthy state of mind. it was 3 weeks of planning but we spent a good 4 hr at the bar catching up on practically everything. i was glad to see that some things haven't changed and some things did, for the good. but let's cut to the point because as great as it was that night, that's not why i'm here

besides that last night, i found out something that made me felt uneasy about my Wonderwall. i was always under the impression that she was a good church going girl. now i heard that she was...promiscuous? *sigh* that's the last thing i would wanna hear. granted, i would rather find out for myself. not in that way but more so by taking the time to talk to her to get a sense of how things were. i know a person shouldn't be judge by their past but they should be held accountable for their actions presently. if old habits die hard, then how much of the same old is still reoccurring? i am willing to overlook all that, but how,  when i can't even get an opportunity to get close?

should i keep bothering my Godsis to be the middleman and keep relaying wooing words to her? ask a friend of a friend of hers? it's such a huge obstacle track to get to know her. i'm not saying that i'm backing out anytime soon. at some point, wouldn't i have to move on even if there's no one packing with me? even when i thought of just putting her aside and let me be free of the spell she got on me, it still rears it's ugly, beautiful head...

ps - pic a plate: Sampan
it was ok in food if you're on a diet for expensive 2oz food and just looking to get some expensive drinks. their specials/happy hour was ok. drinks were delicious though. their "life changing" brussel sprouts were ok. my life is still the same. their some type of beef satay on a stick could've been sniffed up it was so small. their shrimp dumpling is mediocre. the pork bao bun (*sigh* Americans...) were ok.

overall: 3.5 out of 5. unless their dinner menu is better, happy hour is the only way to go
