ran away from a very expensive restaurant

Haha. I'm alreaady smiling and laughing a bit by just remembering the situation that I'm going to write about. Writing has become my passion these past few days. So here goes. After we had submitted our bound thesis on the last week of March, my adviser and all of her advisees, (which includes, me, thelaundrybuddy and madmarycash and other good friends of mine) decided to go out and celebrate. When we were all there, our adviser asked us where we wanted to eat for dinner. We couldn't decide until finally one of my friends suggested FishNChips (or something like that). My adviser agreed and so we went there. When we arrived, we were still so happy and very talkative, excited to eat to our hearts' content. We even asked the waiters to put together the two tables so we could all fit in. Of course, after that the waiters gave us the menu. Before this all, I actually had a hunch that our adviser would be the one paying for our food so I looked for something that wasn't really that expensive. During that time, I think others were doing the same. Minutes passed and we continued flipping the pages of the menu over and over again. Haha. As you have already guessed from the title of my discussion, there wasn't anything that was considerably okay in terms of price. So when our adviser asked us what we wanted, we couldn't give her an answer. Of course, we wouldn't let her pay for a very expensive meal. Just the soup alone costed around more than 100 php. Oh wait, actually, one of my friends didn't think that our adviser was going to pay so she casually said "something something salmon", which alone already costed 500 php and was good only for one or two people. We were kind of in an utter disbelief at her but we just kept silent (right the laundrybuddy?). Deciding that I didn't want our adviser to pay for such an amount, I gathered up my courage to be the one to suggest that we go to another restaurant (less expensive ofcourse). My friends and adviser all agreed. The dilemma was, we didn't want to go out of the restaurant because there were only a very few people and it would be quite embarrassing to do so. We were kind of scheming on a plan about how to go out of the restaurant. Some of us even joked around that we would excuse ourselves to go to the CR one by one. haha. Anyway, me and my two amigos decided to start it off and as we stood up, I kind of felt like my face was getting warm. Without warning, we sort of rushed through the door and ended up laughing when we reached the outside. It was kind of embarrassing to be honest, but IN NO WAY WERE WE GOING TO LET OUR ADVISER PAY FOR SUCH AN EXPENSIVE RESTAURANT. Remembering it just really makes me laugh. If you're wondering where we ate as an alternative, we ate at a Thai restaurant and the food was really really good and not much expensive. Haha.. Have you had a similar experience? Common, tell it and keep me posted! :)
