im in love.....
pleasing to the eyes. rich. makes me happy. satisfying.
im in love.
who's the lucky fool?
name's max. max brenner.
im soooooooooooooooooo in love with max brenner's pralines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yesterday was the tym i fulfilled one of my dreams and aspirations in life (ang drama eh no?) - to be able to taste the chocolates of max brenner. not those in cakes or desserts or drinks, but the chocolate pieces themselves.
it was chocolate heaven........
i went to max brenner to have lunch after my interview. at first i was really undecided on whether to order a chocolate drink or eat the chocolate pralines. the pralines won! and i never regreted any single moment of it. i ordered 1 dark chocolate ganache with dark chocolate filling and 1 dark chocolate ganache with lemon peel. my god!!! they were soooo rich!!! i swear i have never tasted any chocolate that was that good!! although they were pricey, the satisfaction was well worth it!
now i wonder when i will get to taste max's chocolates again.... maybe when im earning a lot of money already hehehe
boots-a-thon
have you ever tried walking for more than 3 hours wearing shoes with at least 3 inch heels?
i have.
when?
today.
where?
along ayala ave and glorietta.
does it hurt?
oh hell yeah!
will i do it again?
probably! bt not voluntarily
let me explain.
i had an interview in a company at 10am 2day. since the fx from our place to ayala was limited, i decided to leave home early so that i wont go through the hassle of riding an fx to buendia then riding the bus to ayala. as planned, i arrived early and the fx dropped me off at paseo de roxas. since i wanted to have breakfast in makati, i had to walk to grnbelt. after brkfast i walked to the company which was near rufino. after the interview they asked if i cud go back at 530pm. snce i was already in the makati area, i said yes. i went back to gbelt to meet with eula. we watched "guess who" at g4 which was really funny!!!!!! tpos we ate lunch at fud choices.
then the walking began. usually im the type of reeeeeeeally loves walking (its a very good way to burn calories), but when you're wearing 3 inch heels and have been walking a lot since the morning, your feet will start to give up on you. at first it was fine, but as we walked, i felt that my feet already hurt. when i realized that, i had to go back to the company already so i walked all the way from glorietta to rufino... and i felt that the trip was reeeeeeally long and endless.... finally i arrived
u think that ended there? noooooooo... after the interview the bus that i rode was full, so i had to stand up. (and no guy there was gentleman enough to offer me a seat! so much for chivalry!) when we reached buendia lrt, i couldnt tolerate standing up anymore so i decided to ride the fx home
tomorrow im not wearing boots!
boracay babe

apr 16:
i woke up early dahl mga 6-630 me alis ng haus to go to grenblt kng san kme susunduin ni mark para sabay pnta sa airport. so del and i waited at starbux gbelt 1. maaga kme nakaratng sa airport so mtgal kme nagintay. nkta namin cna angelica panganiban n carlo aquino. grabe ang payat na tlga n angelica! pareho cla ni carlo na nakashades... cgro para d msydo agaw pancn. then we realized na delayed pla ng almost 1 hour yung flight (suffer.. PAL kc eh) so ung supposed flight namin ng 1240 e naging 135.
pagdatng namin sa kalibo ang naasign samin na mode of tarnspo papnta ng caticlan eh van so solo namin!! ayn we finally arrived in bora mga past 4 na. we arrived at sand castle beach resort. d place was really nice at ang ganda ng CR!!! (which is my main requirement sa pagsstayan na place) nagikot me sa d mall n had dinner with del n mia sa paradiso grill. we ate seafud pizza (thin crust!) which was really yummy and affordable!
after that we went back to the resort. eula mark kath and i went walking to station 1. we had our pictures taken in the sand sculptures made by the local kids (who keep on saying "donation ma'am, sir" whenever someone passes by) the structures were really cool and amazing! tpos we went back sa sand castle. tpos bumalik kme station 1 to meet up with katz n kentot sa cocomangas. eh acoustic ung msic ng mangas sa beachfront so we opted to tambay in club paraw instead. d masarap drinks nla! but the crowd and music were okay. mga 3am n kme bmalik (deprived kc eh hehehehe)
apr 17:
roz went to our room and woke us up because sb daw ng parents ni mia na its d best time to swim (it was around 8-830 am) so ayun gumicng dn kme ni del at nagswim. after that we ate bfast.
mga 1130 eula mia del n i walked to station 3 to shop. d hul time i was wearing a sarong over my head dahil ang sakit tlga sa balat ng araw! pnagtatawanan ba naman ako nla eula! grabe walkathon kme umabot kme sa station 3 talipapa! ang haba ng nlakad namin! pero in fairness ang dami naming nabli! from pasalbongs for friends and stuff for ourselves! ang laki ng nagastos ko! mga 230 n kme nakabalik ng sand castle.
ater nun we went to jonas kc sb ni katz super sarp daw shake dun. so we went there. del and i ordered mango milkshake while alvin had banana mocha. they were all yummy n sbrang filling d ko nga naubos ung akin eh! buti nlng andyan c alvin para ubusin hahaha! grabe sper daming nagoorder sa jonas as in abutin ng almost an hour bago daratng ang order. isa lng daw kc ang gumagawa ng shake so pila pila ang orders.
tpos bmalik kme ng sand catle at nagbanana boat where nakasakay kme sa isang parang salbabida tpos hinihila kme ng speedboat. grabe ang saya nya! kasama ko sa boat c del alvin and a guy n girl. while we were in the boat the guy was really shouting for the driver to slow down. ayaw dn nla pataubin ung boat, pero nung patapos na eh tumaob ung boat dahl na out of balance ata kme. grabe buti nlng maganda ung life vest na pnasuot samin! considering na takot na takot pa naman ako malunod dahl d ako marunong magswimming! the life vest served its purpose! nung tumaob kme eh sumipa-sipa lng ako at lumutang na ako! (yey!!!!) tpos kumapit na ako kna del n alvin! ayun nakaakyat kem ulit ng boat. napikon yung isang girl kc nawala ung shades nya e bago p sumakay ng boat sb n s knya na tanggalin. e pasaway, ayan. pero mas grabe ung guy. as in napikon tlga! galit na galit! nung tumaob kme d na cya smakay ng banana boat, s speedboat nlng cya smakay.

tpos del alvin n i walked to boracay regency and looked around. grabe hotel na hotel tlga! no doubt they charge more than 10k a nyt. may indoor pool pa (which is quite weird kc may beach lng sa labas pero sbgay useful cya for nyt swimming). ayun we took pictures in the place. after that naglakad kme to the other direction and walked hanggnag sa dulo ng station 1 and took pictures. once again we saw the "donation" kids. nakakatuwa c alvin kc lahat tlga ng bata bngyan ng barya. tpos dun sa last kid eh la na cya barya. so ginawa nagbgay tpos kumuha ng sukli hahahahha! pero grabe ang layo ng nlakad namin! ang gaganda ng mga resort sa dulo ng station1! after nun tumambay kme sa cocomangas inom lng chil out. pinuntahan kme dun ni tofer at nagkwentuhan sandali. tpos umulan nang malaks kya d kem nakauwi agad. nung pauwi n kme e bonding kme nila alvin n del

hahha it seems like patagal ng patagal ang intervals between posts ko... hahah busy kuno!
hmm so wat happned after holy week? waaah sa sbrang dami nalimutan ko na! il try to remember everything that i can
nung easter sunday we went to g4 (as usual). nagyaya c mama pnta rustans kc she knew someone that was able to buy a bestida worth 1200, which is really inexpensive considering its rustans. we were looking, and then something caught my eye! a blue swinsuit with flower print. i examined it and then my mom asked if i wanted it! i said that i would try it on first. so i did, and it was the right fit, so i told my mom. she said ok and bought me the swimsuit!!!!!!!!!! gosh i really didnt expect that from her!!
nung we submitted na our proj for biocol. nung biocom naman magpresent ung isang group. eh ang labas parang consultation ky sir dahl lahat cla nakatingin sa direction ng white board tpos c sir kausap cla.. e d cympre umingay na ang class. sb b naman smin ni sir na we're being impolite daw! heller???!!! e pano ba naman kme d magiingay e cla cla lng ang nagkakaintindhan eh d naman nla kme cnasama sa usapan no! tpos cya pa may gana magalit!
nung tues naman we had our exam for smaller n smaller circles! ay sus disaster!!!! ang papangit ng mga sgot ko! tpos we also submitted our dead stars take home exam. tpos we also had our groupings sa dramatic reading of ang paglilitis ni mang serapio. we grouped with del's group! buti nlng no! at least we are not groupmates with a certain stuck up conceited person
nung thur becca, ralph, gelsen, del, and i went to wah ying to have our late lunch! del becca n i shared on fried dumpling and fish fillet wd corn sauce. then we went to divisoria n tutuban to search for stuff or clothes to bring to bora =)
nung fri naman we presented our proj for biocom in class. then i had my exit interview. na-april fools kme. pano ba naman we were told that the interview was on william 2nd floor. when we arrived there, the sec said that the interview was in yuchengco. we went to yuchengco and saw mr molano. he was surprised because as far as he knew, students were not included in THEIR meetng. then we fond out that indeed, our interview was in william! i was joking pa naman when we were in william going to yuchengco. sb ko "pagdating ntn dn ssbhn nla april fools sa william ung meetng" ayan nagdilang demonyo tuloy ako!
nng sat we finalized the docus for ccs day. then we went to rp. i was able to buy shorts n a bag (all for our bora trip!) after that i started to work on our rels group report for the community service. i was really amazed with ms publisher!!!!!! it is so fun to use!! so un kinarir ko na ang paggawa hehe!
nung sun we ate at circles in makati shang for my mom's bday celebration. she asked for a cake, and they gave her a choco mousse. the fondue was really yummy!! other desserts were not as delectable. then we went to g4 again and i was able to buy my 2nd set of swimsuit!! we realy search a lot of stores. good thing i was able to find one. and it only cost 400 pesos!
mon we had our biocom exam! thank god i didnt study much for that exam (i learned already from the 1st exam that it wont do any help) because most of the items were really not tackled even in the stories of sir. then after that we aited for the binding of our ccs day docu and submitted it
tues: dramatic reading. i was satisfied and quite shocked with the grade we got because miss gave not so high scores for her other class. at least our hard work paid off! she gave back our take home quiz and i was very happy with the grade!!! that was the last class of my whole life in dlsu... after the class i really felt happy because we were going to have lunch in golden fortne and i was reeeeally hungry even before class started.... but after reading alvin's blog (
http://hellgod.blogspot.com), i suddenly felt kinda sentimental... but not too much.. i guess it hasnt really sinked in yet that i will be permanently leaving my college life and going on a new phase in my life... but im surely going to miss all my friends.... a lot say that high school is the greatest time of your life. well for me, it is college... i wont even attempt on going bakc to my high school, but ill fondly recall my experiences in college and would like to go back to lasal anytym. i really hope that i would still have the chance to get together with my friends after we graduate... i think that ill be more dramatic on ccard day.. but i dont think ill cry heheheh
going back, after our last class, we went to golden fortune for lunch. my hs friend haidee met us there. after that we went to dvisoria and tutuban again. i was able to buy shorts and a paid of shades!!
2day jj treated us to yellow cab. cympre yummy food! thnx jj! now im officially a bum and now im trying to download tutorials on abap (under sap) programming. it said learn abap in 21 days... but im trying to finish it on a shorter time hehe (asa!)
