dinner meeting at Bistro Mateo

The meeting was supposedly after lunch but I haven't got a call from the person I'll be meeting until 5pm. So when he called me to confirm, he's already at our meeting place, while I was still home and haven't even taken a bath yet. haha! Well I didn't hurried myself too much 'coz I knew he'll be meeting someone else as well.

So I prepared myself for less than an hour and took a cab to Tiendesitas. Travel time was about 30mins, including some traffic. Actually, when he called me, he said he's at Mario's Cafe in front of SM Hypermart so that's what I looked for when I got at Tiendesitas. I wasn't able to receive his text message saying he's at Bistro Mateo 'coz my cellphone died (as in nothing appears on the screen, which means it has to be repaired). Good thing I asked the guard in the parking lot, and he told me that Mario's Cafe was replaced by Bistro Mateo. Thank God, or else I'll get lost haha.=P

There were only a few people there so it's easy to find out who he was. Oh I forgot to tell that it's my first time to meet him 'coz he's a brother of my previous employer, and we're meeting up for a marketing job he's offering me. Anyway, when I got there, he was with two other men, and he informed me that he's in a meeting so he ushered me to a table at the other end of the room and asked the waiter to give me the menu.

The place was nice and cozy. Most people there were business people, more of mid-30s to mid-40s, more especially because it's a weeknight. Anyway, I ordered the Ines pasta, which actually tasted good; and a strawberry lemonade. While waiting for my order, I browsed my Cosmo Date Book to check my schedule and to list some of the things I have to do.

After finishing my meal, he asked me to transfer to their table so we could start the informal meeting, or should i say, the get-to-know each other meeting. haha. The other man already left so it was only the two of them, and I got introduced to this lawyer who's a manufacturer of local firearms, which actually is the product I am supposed to market for this job. Wow, sounds interesting. It's gonna be me, in a business with a market of mostly men. I think I better practice my shooting skills now. haha!

After the meeting, I took a cab home; and we actually took a different route since there's this traffic in Libis caused by a huge trailer truck that got stuck there.
