Only a month left 'til my grad photoshoot! [Yikes!] I better go on a diet. I know I gained a few pounds over the few months. Guess all the cake I've been eating are kicking in. At first I thought it was a good thing but now I feel the opposite.  Ugh. Why do cakes have to be so good?! That oreo cheesecake from Starbucks and that triple decker cheesecake from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. [Curses! HAHA!] All for the sake of my grad pic...Let's see how long I will last.

I've been hanging out in CBTL with a friend. She We did some of our assignments, read books, and from time to time watched shows in our laptop. Got a lot of free time when I'm too lazy to do my org work. Feeling day off lang. HAHA!

Onigiri charms

Here's a craft update for you people! It's just simple. Hey, I am no expert. I'm still trying. :) 

Most of the time, I watch anime. If not, I read manga (Japanese comics). HAHA! I often see onigiris/rice balls in it so I tried making one out of clay. Yeah. For those who don't know, that's an onigiri which is a common food in Japan. The pink-and-white version isn't the usual color. I just used these colors coz I think it's cute. And because I think Mr. Onigiri from the left needs a partner. [Whatever] HAHA!

School is about to start so it will take some time before I make more charms. I tried making other charms a few weeks ago but it's just so hard to condition the clay! AAaargh. That's what I get for storing the clay in my closet for more than a year. Don't know what happened to it but I'm pretty sure I need to buy new ones if I want to make it easier for me next time. HAHA!

BTW, these are currently not for sale. HAHA! Who knows? If I made too many, I'll sell it or perhaps do a giveaway. :)

Next time I'll try making one similar to this...

Danbo

I'm still working on the pastries. HAHA! 

Two days left before school starts! [So early!!! Coz I study at a trimestral university] 

Gotta enjoy my summer!

Loving Alabang Town

Field trip's one of my favorite activities and we just had one today. I won't be talking about where we went and I'll save you the "what-happened" talk. HAHA! My only highlight for this event is our stopover for lunch in Alabang Town. :)

Although the place isn't that big, its got this ambiance which attracts me. It was my first time there and sadly, I did not fully enjoy my stay because we were only limited of 1 hour. We can't forget that we were only there to eat.

And exactly where did we eat?

We ate at a Japanese restaurant called johnandyoko. Our friend, Ana lives near Alabang Town and often visits so she knows it well.

The restaurant was a bit expensive for students like me. Good thing I prepared enough cash with me. HAHA! If I remember correctly, I ordered Tori Kawayaki and Gohan rice. There's California Maki in the pic because that's what my friend, Jeth ordered. I forgot to take a picture of my food because I was so hungry that as soon as the waitress served it, I instantly digged in. HAHA! I had the same food order as my friend, Winnona. It tasted good. HAHA! Arvie [yes.. another friend :)] told me I've got some weird appetite. HAHA!

Right after eating, there wasn't enough time to go shopping so we headed back to the meet-up point. On our way, I found several nice clothes I wanted to try AND buy! It'll be nice to visit Alabang Town again. I wonder when will it be though? HAHA!

Celebrating at China Town

October 7, 2011 ▬ I just got back from dinner outside. We celebrated the 18th birthday of our friend, Jesson though he had his birthday last October 3. He treated us at a certain chinese restaurant in Binondo. We ate a lot and when I mean "a lot", it's really a lot. HAHA! It's been so long since we had fun talking, discussing whatever comes to our mind. There were some dead air but there's always someone who will start a new topic of conversation. There were five of us. Other members of our group weren't able to come. Some of the reasons: they have class, they live far away, they'll be going home late. Still, the fun won't stop just because we're missing some people, but it would have been better if they were there.

At first, I was in a bad mood because we took jeep as a means of transportation and smoke I inhaled made me feel very uncomfortable. I don't mind using jeep instead of taxi. I just don't like the smoke. Not only that, I was being secretly emotional. HAHA! It was obvious that I was on a bad mood and I felt so embarrassed with the way my friends were behaving. I didn't really care at first, but people started staring and... it didn't feel right. Then suddenly, it started raining. Just a drizzle though. So we searched for a suitable restaurant, but most of it are already closed. It was around 8pm when we were strolling around Manila China Town. 

After eating, then we started talking more about philosophy, beliefs, love, relationships, kissing, and many other things. It was a fun and enjoyable, yet sometimes confusing conversation. Confusing at least on my part. HAHA! I hope this will not just be the end of it. From time to time, we'll be having this kind of dinner among friends and enjoy ourselves. Besides, we're not doing anything bad. We don't drink alcoholic beverages nor do we smoke. We just talk. I don't see any harm on that.  It's also good for the mind. We relate our conversations to different topics of our subjects. :)

Seeing that we were the only ones left in the restaurant, Jesson paid for the whole dinner which amounted to Php1500. I think it was worth it because seeing how many dishes were served, we were able to finish it. That's how we love food. HAHA!

Next is the penthouse above our friend, Kierby's home. We also went there to talk. Yes, we just talk about things. I also asked some of their insights or opinions about my current position of whether the current course I am taking is the right for me. We weren't there for long because our friend, Kim's mom is worried. We don't blame her that the evening had to end like that. We understand and it's no big deal. We all had fun. I'm sure of it. I really wish we'll do this again. 

Oh! And this time, I insisted on taking taxi, but the inside of the vehicle smells like smoke from cigarette. HAHA!
