Ladies and Gentlemen!

Tonight is the night. 


Anyway, correction, only a few friends made that demand. Like 2 or 3? haha!

A few friends requested that I should share my own love story in fairness to those love stories I published. Unfortunately, for me, I don't have any to share. Yeah. I've never been in love! (I guess) But anyway, that's not the point. Tonight, instead of sharing a love story that I never had, I will share about my first boyfriend.

Yes. I once have a boyfriend. I've got 4 actually but will only share the first one. ^_^

To start with..

Meet John..

I met him through a friend-Chris when I was 16.  I was naive. I was a senior in High School. He's from a different school. He's a year younger than me. He was like the "crush of the campus" in their school. He's good looking way then. He's charming and really handsome. But I was immune of his charms. I don't know anything about him. I'm intrigued though. Some of the girls were drooling over him. For sure, a guy like him will never pay attention with a girl like me.

Ola beautiful ladies and handsome men! Welcome to my page ^_^

Whoa. Too much for a warm welcome eh? hehe!

Yesterday, I read this blog from Matthew's Blog in titled Titles Are Tough and even posted a comment that goes like this "usually, I don't struggle with titles. hehe..Idk why? maybe because, I'm not too concerned whether or not my title is catchy or not at all. hehe! But I guess I'm wrong! nah. not guess. I'm very wrong. LOL!

Omg! what kind of an introduction was that?

Whatever! 

As for tonight, I will share to you these 3 ladies way back in my high school life who really made my life interesting and lot more fun than I could ever imagined :)

Without further ado, let me give you a little something about these ladies I'm about to feature.

Ready? Alright!

Beware of Misconceptions.Ü *MERELY*JÜST4FÜN*


Hello Bloggers, Readers and Visitors :)


Today is day 1 of Kumbira. Kumbira is a professional and student culinary show and live competition held in Cagayan de Oro, Mindanao, Philippines. It is the largest culinary event in Mindanao, lasting for three days.


As a Hotel and Restaurant Management student, we are tasked to assist the event for 3 days, also, this is in relation to our subject "EVENTS MANAGEMENT" and blah blah blah..


Whoa! As much as I wanna share to you all the things I did today, I can't. I'm too lazy to do that now. I'm so tired. My feet, my legs, my back are in pain :( huhu..I need a hug :( We've been standing from 7.30a-1.30p (I guess or more) because we are marshalls. We were guarding foyer 2 area where FILIPINO Carving in both professionals and students category are being held-live. So, we gotta control the crowd. As for me, of course, I did what I have to do. But guess what? I was even told I was snob and strict just because I did not allow them (the viewers, watchers) to enter the area, huh? duh. It's not like it was a restricted area actually, they're not just supposed to be there. that's it. I'm just following instructions. Was it really that hard to comprehend or what? It really pissed me off. Big time! But of course, I can't tell them I'm feeling that way. Part of being in a hospitality industry, I need not to show negative expressions, you know. I have to smile even if everything hurts. Life is like that. Life is mean. It's unfair. That's reality. Right? ^_^


But anyway (again),  I had fun today. And so, just a sneak peak of today's event =)) hope you'll have fun-too! =))
I will share to you everything after the event, maybe.Ü 


Here are some of the finished products (took these randomly) of the live competition in food carving.

 *LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE*

After our class Events Management today, Janine, Aiko, Princess, Dawn, Rhams, Estel, Mona and Myself decided to grab a bite at the store fronting our school. When we get there, it's full.

Rhams then said "hey! let's go to Greenwhich instead, there's a P299.00 good for two pizzas (not aware what size) already, we can split it out and contribute maybe 20-30 pesos only. And we all agreed.

Inside greenwich, we realize it's not a family size pizza (double-too small for us) and valid for take out only. So, we ended up ordering separately but with the same items-P59.00 (Pizza, spag and drinks)

what do you call this? -waiting number? whatever? haha!

Note: this is not about the movie (In The Name Of Love with Angel Locsin). LOL

Yesterday we (myself, Koting & why so random?) attended our friend's wedding (Jeff and Karen) @ Koresco Hotel.

killing time ^_^

*Surprise Surprise*

Have you ever had that experience where in you forgot your friend's birthday because you were too busy dealing with a lot of stuff in school and you only knew it's her birthday when you check your fb and it appeared in the "upcoming events" section -(Birthdays: Honey Love Sabandal)?

ugh! it sucks right?

Well, we do. Last year we missed our friend's birthday. 

Can you imagine that? We felt terrible. That's why, after that, we promised to ourselves to really make up for her next year-that's today :)

Yeah, today is her birthday.

What we did was, we secretly made a video (slideshow) of her including some clips of our classmates greetings and presented it this morning before our class started. 

Check this out. A more than 8 minutes presentation. Hope I will not bore you with this video. ^___^

Also, we printed a tarp for her and place it outside our classroom. 

thanks to Dwizzt for the layout ^_^

That's all.
Thanks for checkin' out ^_^
I hope you had fun watching ^_^

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YEN!!! ♥♥♥

High school for me was one of the most memorable part of my life. It brought me pain, happiness, craziness and enjoyment. I've experience so much fun. I've been through a lot of things. Fought over nonsense issues and got myself wasted. Also in high school that I made friends and established a bond of friendship that cannot be destroyed not even in distance and time..

What are you in high school? 

Are you the nerd type? 

the mean? 

the funny? 

the gossip girl? 

the saint? 

the KJ? 

the crazy? 

the head turner?

the crush ng bayan? 

the top student?

whoa. speaking of which, do you have any idea what happened to your classmates who made it to the top of your class way back? do you still keep in touch with them? are you still friends with them? lol. (of course, I am)


Now, let's  get to know those students in my class who were lucky enough to surpass my intelligence and made it to the top. ROFL


Anyway, get to know our top 10 students and a little bit information about them (courtesy of our yearbook :) and see the difference :)

Let's start with the VALEDICTORIAN ^_^ --------> CLICK IMAGE to view it clearly ^_^

BLAST FROM THE PAST
Note: I was bored and decided to post pics from my high school friends. take a look, who do you think changed the most?
I posted this photo already a few days ago in my post "DECADES" where I featured myself growing up..now, let's see where are these girls now after 9years..^_^
This was taken September of 2001. As you can observe on the photo, we're wearing our uniform in CAT (Citizenship Advancement Training), just because, this was after our drill presentation :)
Get to know them..let's start from the back..left to right..

-Esper 
*the top student of our circle. 
-Venus (the one wearing the cap)
 *the most shy and sensitive person I've ever known. 
-Margie 
*the artist..she does all the drawing projects :D
(front..left to right)
-Mielyn
*the singer..she's the striker, she says whatever that's on her mind.
-Mai (me)
*the mean..I was the snob and the most talkative of all.
-Anita
*the patient..she's the most understanding of all but careless. 


My circle in high school: of course, we parted ways after graduation. Esper and Margie stayed at our province and chose to finished their college there. Esper took up Computer Science while Margie chose Education major in General Science. Mielyn was an Accountancy graduate, I guess? hehe..I'm not too sure, among the others, she's the only one I didn't keep in touch with throughout college days. While and Anita and Venus decided to pursue their studies at Cebu City, Venus took up Mass Communication and Anita enrolled BS Commerce but later she (Anita) dropped out of school and went back to our province. As for me, in case you're wondering why I'm still studying when the rest of my friends already have their careers maybe 4 or 5 years ago. That's is because, I've been shifting and transferring from one school to the other. On my first year in college I took up engineering and education on following year then Chemistry where I lasted for 5 semesters but chose to dropped out once again and finally settled myself in Hotel and Restaurant Management and I'm so proud to say that I'm on my last term already. yey! ^_^
For what it's worth, let's see where are my girl-friends now..? what happened to them after 9 years? are they married? have kids already? where are they? -->check it out..^_^

-she finished her bachelors degree and currently working somewhere in Makati, Manila.


I saw her just last April, we actually met with Margie, we had dinner together and chitchat :D 
We had so much fun..^_^

Margie same with Esper is now living in Pasay, Manila and working somewhere in Makati. 

Mielyn is now in Italy. She decided to go abroad for her kid. I haven't seen her for a while now. All I know is that, she already have a little girl but not married though :)

Venus just resigned from her 5years job and decided to look for another environment. I was with her just last last week before she went back to Cebu for her exit interview.

And lastly, lastly because, I don't have a recent photo of Anita. I haven't seen her for a while now. She already have kids also, I mean kids..like 3 or 4 I'm not sure. Now she is living with her husband and the last time I saw her was 2 years ago I guess? and I wasn't able to take her a photo :D

Guess who? lol. that's me..with our circle, I'm the only one who is still studying :D Imagine that! lol. but anyway, soon..you'll see me marching and throwing that stupid graduation cap. lol ^_^

I was with Janine yesterday, we watched Harry Potter at SM mall. While I was walking going through where I should take a ride, I decided to take photos on the way..I know it's a little bit weird, I mean, taking pictures every now and then but you know..I love it :) Even though people threw those "crazy" looks at me like I'm some kind of weirdo..hello?! as if it's a crime eh?! ^__^ anyway..here's the photos on the way to the mall..it's only about 15-30 mins ride but since the road is under construction right now, we went to another way which was kind of narrow so it took us about 45mins just to get to the mall.

The photos are actually in order but I'm not too sure if you can understand it clearly. The last pic at the right was our ride. He was actually a cleaver and very responsible driver, he's doesn't want to take over because he hates to be the caused of the traffic nor to add more chaos on the road and doesn't drive carelessly because he believed that in him was the life of his passengers. cool thought isn't it? not all driver do actually think about that :)
In the mall there was an event..an audition for small kids..talent show something..

these kids went on an audition, it's something about little Miss SM Cagayan de Oro whatever..(sorry)
..only the first two kids we're able to watch because we're running of time since Harry Potter movie was about to begin.
The little girl in pink was performing ballet, and the one wearing black was doing a belly dancing.
It was actually the second one who really did caught our attention, she dances gracefully and moved like an expert. Really awesome!


The following pic are those cos players that we chased around the mall just to take them photos. hahaha

It was very disappointing because only one among them who did really stop and smile just to for us to take her a photo-can you see her? the one holding a balloon? the rest of them walk so fast that I find it hard to take them individually. urgh! annoying! hahaha

Anyway, After chasing them, we hurriedly went to the cinema because we're afraid to miss the trailers. ^_____^ and here's the pic inside the cinema...(we sneak out the camera) hehehe ^_^

Janine and Mai

And the last photo was taken when we're leaving the mall and we saw people waiting for taxis and jeepneys.

You can see an image of SM logo and SM near entrance (day light)




On the left of these pics were people waiting for jeepneys (including us). Can you notice it? no jeepney's visible..this is very unusual. usually, lots of jeepneys are waiting for passengers..this time, it's the contrary.
The last pic were people waiting for taxis. usually, the shoppers with huge bags of groceries :D

And as the Harry Potter journey ends..so as my post for today. Hope you had a great time reading! ^___^

Thank you for reading! Bless us all :))

Last Friday our group prepared the "Garithomakaronatha" or Greek Style Shrimp Pasta. Its main ingredients are pasta (precooked), prawns, olive oil, tomato sauce, butter, mustard, brandy, parsley, grated carrots, onions and garlic.

mise-en-place

*prawns (peeled off and washed with running water

*tomato sauce

*brandy 

*grated carrots

*mustard

*olive oil

*butter

*parsley

*onions (finely chopped)

*garlic (sliced)

*pinch of salt

(Blair) In an olive oil sauteed each side of the prawns. Later then he added the butter, spices, brandy (when it completely evaporated), grated carrots, mustard and mustard, parsley then is optional. Anyway, this is not the exact procedure, I just familiarized the way how we actually did it. 

tada! these are the products we made. the spaghetti was ours (group 1). The other foods were from the other groups, there was Carbonara and the rest I can't remember anymore. (sorry..^_^)

It tasteless actually, I mean, all you can taste was it's sourness and a little bit of alcohol, so with the rest of the products. oh! wait! there was this yummy chicken but unfortunately I wasn't able to take a picture of it. I went outside when they presented it and when I went back-it's gone! my classmates were really something, aren't they? :D know why? because we spent a lot for that and the only way we can get it back is to eat it all. By then, we won't feel bad about our money. hehe ^_^

these pics were taken during the preparation. still, same as the last time we had that laboratory, my classmates can't really get enough of their faces in every photographs. Whenever they sense that someone's taking them a photo they'll pause for a while and "SMILE" ..^_______________^

-that's why as much as possible, anytime, anywhere I would bring Digital Camera with me to take those happy moments. In this way, we can freeze our time and get back into it whenever we want to. Isn't that great?! ^___^

The miscellaneous..^_________________________________________^

-photos above are taken before and after ^_^ and a video of one group cleaning up..check it out and enjoy! this is a 3minutes video footage with lots and lots of us having fun while cleaning up. Some I tricked them that I'm taking them a photo but instead I'm recording it. haha! You will really know in this footage how they loved to smile. ^__^

And that's it! I hope you had fun reading and watching! till next time :D

A photograph of who I came to watched Transformers "The Revenge Of The Fallen" and Transformers "Dark Of The Moon" 
Transformers 2, I came to watched with them:

Janine, Nico and Nikki
