USTET and Goodbyes

Image
This is an excerpt from my blog dated April 2, 2013 about why did I choose Medical Technology and why did I end up studying in the university.  I’ve come a very long way from when I wrote this post. It’s been almost 10 years since freshman years. Goodness gracious.  And I don’t regret any second of it. It’s January 28, 2018 and today, my sister knew that she passed the USTET! Yas. Even though it’s good news, she said she’s not very happy because her friends failed. Man, if that’s how I looked at things way back then, I wouldn’t have entered the university as well but I guess I thought of my OWN future and it paid off. Come on, girl! It’s not that scary to be alone. And! College is a perfect time to be independent. Yun lang naman. You have to stretch your own wings and let your friends fly somewhere else.  Also, the reason why this is relevant is that my grandma’s sister died the other day. I will always remember her as the one who always root for me in my academics. She a...

My Kind of Fight

Image
Boodle Fight Set-Up Tortang talong, tilapia, bangus, sugpo, liempo, inihaw na manok, itlog na maalat, and sawsawang mangga. I can eat this everyday.  I really enjoyed the feast! My tita was like, this should be an annual thing for us.  See! My tita is also sucker for traditions. Because the generation before us doesn’t really have any so... Winner! Too bad my brother and lolo weren’t able to join us but it was fun! The last time we all did this is when I went home last two years.  Yas! chow time!  family The dogs came with us and they were just sooo cute. They ate some of the liempos! :) That’s all! 

Enchanted Kingdom 2018

Image
Old tradition that I made up 2 years ago. I wish this could go on for generations though because living alone really makes me want to value family.  We went to Sta.Rosa Laguna this time because we all know I’m a sucker for amusement parks and why not, right? The last time I went to Enchanted Kingdom was in 2011. The entrance fee for this park went very high from last time and I can’t say I’m very convinced.  cousins Anchor’s Away Space Shuttle Can I just say though that this ride got really better. The seats and all felt more secured. Also, I don’t know if it’s just me but the overall thrill factor increased. I think. Favorite ride.  We were so lucky because the park was not busy at all! I guess the longest we waited to get seated was only around 45 minutes. We were done with all the rides at around 7.  bumaba ‘ko sa jeepney. This ride had us all good. My bestfriend Nissan had it the worst though. And she was wearing a pink toned colored shirt that made it all obviou...

Watson’s Haul! New Makeup! 

Image
The reason being is that I had to dispose of all my makeup because they could cause infection for my new eyes. No face powder too because it might go in my healing eyes. And yes, ladies and gentlemen, as far as it may be to the eyes, lipsticks count. Maybe. This tip is actually something I’ve read of online so don’t copy. Also, I just needed an excuse to buy makeup! BB Cream + Concealer duo. I swear I’m almost done with the concealer. I don’t know if it’s the design that’s wasting the product or maybe there’s just not enough product in this one.  Also maybe because I have too much to conceal. Haha! The concealer is creamy and very easy to work with. The BB Cream, I’m okay with but nothing special about it. Also something I am not a fan of. I mean, it’s okay but it’s a little runny for me. For something that promises too much, it doesn’t do much. Sorry. It's very comparable to a tinted moisturizer.  I swear this is not a list of things I regret buying. More like, things that I ...

Barbara's Heritage Restaurant

Family My momma took us here a day after papa’s Birthday because I guess they were having their own party so they were closed. Something like that. It was nothing I’ve seen like before. My mom said it’s like the restaurant Zamboanga but I can’t really remember much from it except their Kare-Kare was good.  Lechon Belly  It’s only good if you’d have a piece and not a plate. Or maybe it’s just me.  The sotanghon was good! Or at least that what my momma said. The place was very nice. Ancient. Definitely something I saw from films and clips from the past.  our plates I have no idea who’s plate this was because it was my sister Mika who was taking pictures.  carnivore yup My favorite amongst them all. Seriously. I can probably eat the whole thing! Okra, talong, kang kong, and mangga with bagoong! FTW.  salad bar deserts cultural show The show was very pleasant to watch. Very refreshing.  We sold our sister Mika as well. They were like, “do you have a volute...
