LESSON #5
When the inevitable traffic jam or Pinoy time puts you behind schedule, bursting into a restaurant while looking disheveled will do little to calm your impatient lady-in-waiting. We'll assume you've rung your date's cellphone to warn her. Now dial the restaurant and order that mushroom appetizer you know she loves.
