whew! after so long time of locking up myself in friendster and multiply blogs, i’m back. FINALLY. so cool that my mom gave me this laptop. that’s why i have more control over my pc activities. unlike before that i have to share the computer with my brother,. ah. that sucks dude! i thank mom so much for providing me this cool stuff as her bday gift for me. speaking of birthday, i just celebrated my 19th bday last september 4. yay! how i realize that another year was added to my aging genes. aw, i’m 19 which does mean that this would be my last year of being a teenie. no no… don’t want to think too much about it yet. nyehehehehe. but seriously, damn, i feel old.
my bday was such a blast. no parties were held,. no celebration grande or whatsoever. but hey, i did love my bday. why? it was very special for me since that day was our function in school. imagine, i fed 150 persons that time and the foods that i prepared were pretty much appreciated by almost all of our guests. nyey! it was so damn good to feel that that day was damn different from my previous bdays. my titas were there on our function. they went there to see me. eric was there to taste what i cooked. he was there to see me too, after 3 years. and after all, almost all of my friends were there to greet me. i was happy despite that fact that supposedly i share that special day with my boyfriend. but as expected, my boyfriend wasn’t there. he’s somewhere else. never did he plan to go here in manila to celebrate his bday with me nor did he plan to see me again. damn, para saan pa na naging pareho ang birthday namin?! sheessh,.,
FYI, my bf and I broke up after that day. nyehehehehehe… but it’s not related to his not being with me the day before. it’s about something else which bothered me days prior to that special day. i’d rather not talk about it here yet coz i don’t want to ruin the flow of my story.
that was also the time that i received my laptop together with a pair of white rubber shoes, dresses (i never thought my mom would give me dresses. mom, when did you see me wearing such? i’m not a girl mom, i’m not! ggrrr,,) and some chips and cookies and chocolates! hehehehehe,., i love the dark M&M’s she gave us. my tita added another pair of rubber shoes. skechers ragged shoes with open soles. whew! i was so happy to receive many gifts on that day. i was overwhelmed.
by the way, i was the executive chef of our function last september 4.

look how messy i was that day. i was not just messy but i smelled damn like inasal na manok. true enough that we served chicken inasal as our main dish, it went well with the kangkong with mango salsa we served as our side dish. that was a perfect match dude! many liked the combination of the salsa and inasal. so sad i won’t be able to show some pictures of our food. only if i have cam, i sure would be able to capture pics of them. (now i know what i want to have this christmas, nyehehehe…). In the picture was my production staff with me (third from left) and my sous chef (second from left, beside me). Look at my apron. Mukha raw akong matador. wahahahaha.. Hanep sa pagkadugyot ang damit ko. winner!

a pose with my groupmates (from left): camille parker, kat gesmundo, berna velayo, me, karen mercado, tonet sumampong and maio del pilar.
haggard-lookin’, isn’t it?
ma’am said she liked our function, that we went on the extra mile to go out of the traditional theme of a filipino function. yey! of course we’re happy to hear it. Being the exe cutive chef of course was a great pressure, same as with my other groupmates who did their job as managers (function manager, sales and marketing manager, housekeeping manager and dining room manager). all i can say is that at least all that we had worked for paid off. with dedication and enthusiasm, we made it! i was just so proud of my group.
I’m happy, all in all. i’m happy though my love life never bloomed. so the story just ended there. just one day i decided not to text him and he too didn’t text me. so coincidental it might seem.perhaps, we were just waiting for each other who’s gonna give up. ppfftt! we two gave up. understood na yun! yehehehehe. i’m not thinking of him that much though i’m sad that my affair with the boy just ended. first official boyfriend ko pa man din siya.
masaya naman ako, that’s what matters more. in three weeks, i’m going to perform in kontra-gapi’s this semester’s recital. yep, though oftentimes I rant about my heavy workload and hectic schedule, i still managed to join a performing org and i’m having no regrets at all coz i’m happy about it. it makes me complete.
