A Story of Betrayal...and Moving On

I couldn't think of anything to say while he was talking to me. The first thing we did was to laugh it out, because even if it meant him having to re-tell his story, I could sense that he was hurting inside, the pain searing through him, obviously weighing him down that he's gotten pretty much skinnier after 3 years that we've had a close encounter.  I never had any problem with him since I did my graceful exit from his company. If there was a problem with him, it was work related. It was never on a personal note that I went away to find a better workplace. It was something that I believe was due to some bad company decisions that gave me a chance to find my own place in the sun after working with his company.

I've been hearing much about Sbarro and how good their pizza is. I am actually a pizza lover and I always make it a point that I get a slice of pizza whenever I can visit a joint. Pizza makes me want to curl up in bed and read a good book, while munching on it, enjoying the delish chhese that it is topped with.  However, in General Santos City, we don't have a wide selection of pizza joints. We only have a few to mention Shakey's, Pizza Hut and Greenwich, oh and also Giacomino's and some local pizza joints too which could be good enough for one who's interested in thin crusts.
