I went back to my old interface in blogger and uninstall my blogger apps in my phone since it's been giving me a hard time posting, I landed checking my stat (which I seldom do for the last 6months, I guess?) and surprised to see that my most popular post A Table For Two (My Brother's Marriage Proposal To A Fellow Blogger) -that is (who) by the way you probably knew-again, a blogger who is obviously soon to be my sister, the author of this blog Diaries of an Indistinctive  :) has reach to more than a thousand views and it made me feel awesomely happy! *dancing* 


Oh. When can I get over this. HAHA!


Oh, by the way,


I was asked to share the best photo I ever took since I started blogging, I shared this already but it was way back in my first quarter of blogging so I bet you never got the chance to see this yet :D

Happy faces of children who asked me to take their pictures :D 

priceless smiles of strangers :)

construction workers :D

Suddenly, I wanna go out just to take photos of strangers :( 


hmm..


What about you? What's the best photo you could share to the world? If you can't share to me the photo, atleast describe it to me :)

As I was browsing my photo albums today,  I stumbled into this old photograph with my cousin.

Mitch&Mai

She is the closest person I have. We practically grew up together, although, I am 1 year old than her. That means, she's 16 at when this photo was taken. She's like a sister to me. We share a lot of things in common. We don't feel ashamed with each others dirty closet. We're so close yet so open at the same time. Whenever she asks for a favor, I don't refuse nor hesitate as long as it is within my reach. Like typical sisters, we fight-a lot.


So here's the thing..


She is getting married in two months to her boyfriend of 9 years. Imagine that? Ugh. How could someone stay in a relationship that long? All the while she's in relationship, here I am enjoying the life of being single :D I remember the longest one I had was 2months? although, I do had an on and off relationship with John, remember him? my first boyfriend that I shed tears with non-stop when I heard he's missing during the flood Sendong that ravaged the lives of so many in the city of Cagayan de Oro last December 2011. That was the most tragic event that ever happened in my family. I'm still not over it. I can't imagine what my family went through. I wasn't in the city when it all happened, if you remember, I was in Manila for my on-the-job training. But anyway, that's not what I'm supposed to share. Haha! I got carried away. lol..


So, anyway, back to reality now..


She's asking me to help in organizing the wedding, I'm in-charge with the song thingy! What do I put in my list? I have no idea about wedding songs. Ugh. Weddings are indeed the most stressful event ever! Do you have any idea? I mean, you might wanna suggest some songs? classic? or new or whatever that I could write down? Anyone?


hmm..let me know if you have songs in mind so I could present it to her, aye? :-p 


Thank You! ^_^


to wrap this all up.


this is us, 10 years after :) 

Can't get enough of a peace sign huh? :D well, that's just me.

Note: This is good for two days post. It might take a while for you to read this one. I hope you don't mind.Ü 


The past three days were the most tiring days ever in our college life but last night was a blast.

Wanna know why? 

Our school was the over all champion in KUMBIRA 2011  (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).Ü

Isn't that a good news? ^___^

Anyway, here's what happened for the last two days..

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.

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 ^_^

Beware of Misconceptions.Ü *MERELY*JÜST4FÜN*

As promised, here's a follow up from my prior post "PHOTOS OF ME (MAI SANITY)" http://maiyang1902.blogspot.com/2011/07/photos-of-me-mai-sanity.html ..I can't remember anymore the rest of the lines I typed. Omg! I'm about to finish my post for tonight if only I didn't reload the page! whatever!
Anyway, this post is all about my classmates (girls). You will be seeing lots of photos with a whole bunch of lady friends in it and a little bit of their profile :D I know, there's nothing much interesting about this, originally, I wanted to feature just three girls from my class whose interest is same with mine "self photography" but I ended up posting the rest of the girls photos in the class. Well, I just thought you might want to get to know some of them :) hope you don't mind..♥♥♥
Get to know the ladies in the class of BLA4.
So let's start with..ESTHEL ^_^

Janine says: Esthel is a happy go lucky girl who loves to take photos of herself-so much, I added.
She's full of spirit, she never gets tired of smiling (esp in front of the camera), laughing, and fooling around.
She's my friend's bff. 
I can't say anything much about her even  though we've known each other since first year because we kinda' started hanging out (I mean, we have this "thing" together with Janine) just recently and way then we don't talk at all. Just hi/hello's and nothing more.

She loves to eat.
She's taken.
She's funny.
She's smart and pretty.
She loves dancing, singing and acting.

              GLADYS

fondly called "Ms. G" by some.
the officer..
the e-loader..
the Ms. Yes! to all favors asked 
the secretary of BLA


the most supportive and most understanding person in the class. The one and only person who's always next to my name in any lesson plan from firstyear til' now and my partner in reporting (Training Strategies) next week.

the model ^ ^, ang sumusunod sa mga yapak ni Nikki ^ ^
the most artistic presenter in power point presentation
the most active HRM student in the class..
the one and only..Ü

JANINE

looks familiar eh? that's because she's mostly present in all of my posts especially in travel and fun labels.
She's the best buddy ever!
simply amazing like smart! haha!
Obviously, she loves puppy (dogs, whatever) and hates cockroaches (she'll scream to hell if she'll see one even if it's like a hundred meters away).
She loves almost all types of movies except "horrors", haha!
She's annoyingly nice for a friend and too nice for a girlfriend or should I say xgf? LÜLZ                                                                                                                                                                          

CASEY

She loves music so much and two of her idols are Alanis and the late MJ. She's my seatmate in PM class and lastly-green lover lady.Ü

MAE CLAIRE

Also known as PATITAY! that's all. haha! 

MONA

Lucky you to have seen her like this because for like three years, this is the very first time that I have ever seen her hair down! ^_^

JILLA

Jilla is the new found actress in BLA. Just recently that I've found out that she's the "JUDY ANN" in LC, ang mupalag-SUYA!

SHARISSE

Next to Esthel is Shar2x, like Esthel, Shar2x also loves to take photos of herself. She's sweet but a little bit shy. We're groupmates in Events and CA5. ugh! haha!

DAWN-AIKO-PRINCESS (the trio's)

Like most College Girls who have group of friends/circle of friends, these three ladies unfortunately became trio's when one of their friends (who's also a friend of ours) decided to dropped school 2years ago. Three of the most nicest girls for me :)

Lastly,

 SHELLA, NEREEN, IVY

wonder why these three were put into one even if they're not in the same group? It's because it's much cooler with them in my post. yey! @Ivy: please don't feel bad if I included you in this post because you know I love you..^__^ 

that's the BLA beauties ladies and gentlemen ^_^ take your pick now. jk :)

Beware of Misconceptions: MERELY JUST4FUN

I seem to be bothered whenever someone call me "vain". In my mind, how can I? Is taking a lot of photos of yourself will classify you as one? lol. It's crazy right? But anyway, hell I care :) 

Taking photos of me, I believe, do not make me feel conceited like everyone else does. I don't feel pretty or beautiful at all whenever I took one. I just love taking pictures with myself and everyone else :) Know why? So I would know which angle I look bad or good. haha! (Practice makes perfect, right?) ^_^ 

So, here it goes..

 -few of my hundreds of pics taken. haha! Now, guess I might reconsider being vain..? or not? oh! no! haha!

Actually, the "Me" is just a part 1..so, I won't say much anymore because, I dunno what to write anyway. 

I will be posting maybe 3 of my friends for follow up post so you would realize it's not just me whose legally inclined with self photography! (what a term!) hehe

Misc.

"Mai" Favorite Pictures ^___^

Notice something? 

Oh! that's me (white and black) using my friends mobile phone :) 

Close ups!

As the saying goes, beauty lies in eye of the beholder..♥♥♥
