T.G.I. Friday’s on a Saturday: Adventures at Kalokohan

Last Saturday, pumunta kami sa tita ko sa Fairview para kunin yung longganisang uwi ng mga pinsan ko galing Ilocos. Grabe the best yung longganisang yun, yummy! Doon na din kami ng lunch sa tita ko. Nandun din yung mga pinsan ng mama ko. Hindi ko nga sila kilala e pero nakakatuwa, ganoon din kaya kami pagtanda? Hehe, ang weird kasi ng dating nilang magpipinsan, parang mini-reunion na din. Ang sarap din ng food dun, andaming crispy pata, huhu food na naman. At inallergy ako afterwards sa crispy pata na yan ha.

Sandali lang kami dun. Pagkatapos pumunta na kami sa Makati para bumili ng pillow covers para sa 1^st year death anniversary ng tito ko. Well, akala ko pillow covers lang yung bibilhin nila mama, but no. may kasama pillows talaga. Pretty ironic kasi sobrang dami na ng throw pillows namin. More than 20 siguro, na natatabunan na yung couch at hindi ka na makakaupo pag ginamit ng sabay-sabay. Pero sige yun yung gusto nila e, e di go. Kami nila kuya(cousin) at ej(bro), pumunta sa Toy Kingdom. Nagtingin kami ng gameboy ang liit nung micro na gameboy, ok lang. Maganda yung Nintendo DS Lite. May wifi ready ekek na siya at organizer. Basta cute siya, gusto ko nun!! Kaso nakastylus yun kaya nagdodoubt din ako kung mabilis ba talaga yung DS, baka kasi maghang. At etong si kuya parang praning. Matapos pahirapan yung saleslady sa pagsasalestalk sa kanya e bigla niyang tinakbuhan. Actually, babayaran na lang talaga yung gameboy, nasa counter na nga at nasa kanila na yung card ni kuya. Kaso ang tagal kasi talaga grabe as in dumating na sila mommy(tita) galing sa home stuff section e wala pa. Kaya yun, sabi niya sa sales lady hihiramin lang niya muna yung card may iswiswipe lang muna siyang iba. Syempre di na namin binalikan. Nakakakahiya talaga, madalas pa naman akong dumadaan dun from UP para magtingin-tingin ng laruan. Nakakatuwa kasi.

Syempre hindi pwedeng umuwi ng hindi kumakain. Kaya yun, NagFriday’s kami. Si Mommy nagpappicture kasama yung server, nakakatawa. Sabi na lang nila kuya e balikbayan si Mommy, halos maibuga ko na yung iniinom ko, hehe. Syempre nagpicture din ako ng food. Nahirapan lang akong kumuha ng magandang angle kasi tinatago ko yung phone ko sa ilalim ng tissue, hehe. Hindi ko din nakunan yung malalayo sa akin na food. Masarap yung food nila, lalo na yung chicken salad. Ok din yung fillet at camaron sa fisherman’s platter, di ko alam kung anong fish yun e. Masarap yung sauce ng baby back ribs nila. Yung fries, parang sa Max Brenner, hmmm good, good. Yung pasta Alfredo medyo bland para sa akin pero sabi nila mama masarap daw. Here’s the shots:

southwestern chicken ceasar salad

chinatown imperial ribs

At, ako mukhang malungkot pero ang totoo e busog na! hehe.

Halo-halo, Labu-labo…

Household chores rants

I really hate washing the dishes!!!! Ewan ko ba kung bakit sa tuwing naghuhugas ako e nagiinit din ang ulo ko. Most people would prefer washing plates than any other domestic chores but I really despise doing it. It’s just so sad that this vacation, as it has always been, e magiging official katulong ako sa bahay namin and washing the dishes comes with it. Arrrrgh….

Obesity and Allergy

Hehe, ang taba-taba ko na talaga. Maybe this is the fattest I have been in 20 years of my life sa mundong ibabaw. I was watching my cousin’s wed video yesterday and oo nga, geesh. I better go on diet na kasi lately e bombarded ako with allergies. Either my fingers or my lips swell. Sabi ng nanay ko e allergies can cause heart failures, e nafefeel ko rin tuwing nagkakaallergy ako, setting aside my panic attack, e I’m also having this difficulty in breathing. I’m not ready to die. Not yet. So what should I do??? ANSWER: diet!!!! *wink*

Cramming, MP and the Grade

One of my theories why I’m having these unusual allergies is because of academic burn out, hehe wala lang. Nahaggard talaga kami sa paggawa ng MP grabe. Sobra kasi kaming naintimidate sa Machine Problem noong una that we usually end up staring blankly at each other. Actually relative to other CS 150 groups, we started earlier pero un nga dahil feeling namin na the project is too  big and hard e we learned and did it in the hard way as well. Hirap magdebug kasi umabot na sa 1000 lines ung code namin e hindi pa masyadong functional. Kaya prinint ko yung code para matrace, yun pala andaming unsued codes dun. After redoing the program, almost half ung na faced out namin. That’s when I started to understand our code, and mind you, that was the day before the submission. Nakapag overnight din ako kila Tina, it was fun experience for me. Pagkatapos nun e halos hindi na kami natutulog. We had passed the MP by Monday, 2 days after the deadline and it was rejected, what could be worse? Akala ko nga maiincomplete pa kami, pero mabait talaga si ma’am siguro hindi siya nagsubmit ng grades nun kahit na deadline na talaga nila the day na nareject yung MP namin.

And the verdict?

I was not really expecting for a very high grade since we passed our MP2 late, plus it still has bugs on it. I’m happy just by the fact that I didn’t get an INC mark on my class card, but no, I got a pretty good one, as in flat 1! I can’t believe it myself. Don’t know how it happened. Million thanks to Ma’am! And of course to God for making us get through this tiresome MP!

Summer Mis(sed)adventure

While I was painstakingly doing my MP2, my family was out there on some beaches enjoying the summer heat. They went to three beaches or so in Ilocos, they also visited the windmills and (gasp) the old lighthouse featured in Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho show. This is the second time I missed our vacation, arrggh. My first was way back in high school when I was supposed to join a CAT I quiz bee a day after their trip. And with the Murphy’s law working against me, the quiz bee was rescheduled. The contest resumed days after my family had gone back here in Laguna. I swear, there won’t be a third time. By the way, here’s a picture of Pagudpud… never been there, sad :c   

Nga pala, my cousins who also didn’t get to have their vacation in Ilocos had their fun in Tagaytay. Syempre di rin ako nakasama due to my MP, hehe kawawa talaga. Pero ok lang yun kasi malapit lang Tagaytay, madali lang pumunta dun. I missed the Starbucks’ Caramel Affogato, I missed Sonia’s and Leslie’s food, yun lang.
