Barbie's Surprise Kiddie Birthday Party

December 04 - Barbie's Birthday! The day before, Nico Martin planned a surprise kiddie birthday party for the barbie girl, rather "Barbie Kaye." But before that, it was all drama from the moment he contacted me (he didn't know how to reach me because I lost my globe phone number), to our supposed thesis group meeting, how to distract Barbie (oh by bringing her to Eastwood, buying stuff like 1 kilo of rice which costs 80+ pesos?, etc.), and finally bringing her to her supposed NCPAG Student Council meeting in McDo Katips, where she was already half and hour late (and they have a fine per minute late for the meeting). SURPRISE! :) Oh, the surprise of the night are Ronald McDonald and Grimace. They remind me of my 1 year-old Mcdo birthday party (as if I remember what happened).

P.S. This was supposed to be a long post, but I decided to delete all the other details, and stick to the bigger picture :)

Asian Dragon @ Trinoma

Asian Dragon celebrated their latest issue by having a themed fashion show and an exclusive The Mummy screening last Aug 1, in TriNoma. With an effort to bring TriNoma closer to the Chinese-Filipino crowd, they partnered with the mall and its various shops in making the event possible.

And finally, with more or less two weeks in advance of planning, BFFL was complete. First time? :P Also, Delaney and I did some buddy activities :) Go buddy!

Chillax with BFFL

I had a great time with BFFL minus Rog, and Kent (aka. Mr. Sasaki). Barbie, Reg, Tenai and I pushed through with The Dark Knight yesterday afternoon at Trinoma. The last movie/escapade/outing we did was Cloverfield, which wasn't a good movie by the way. This trumps that over more than a hundred times!

If only we discuss this kind of stuff in Ethics and Accountability in the Public Sector, instead of some stuff we were discussing, I am sure that more people will get to recite. We may not be able to discuss this movie in just one class meeting. This is a perfect example of Ethic of Justice and Ethic of Care. Ah, but I digress. This movie is so mind-moving and really awesome! I'm glad we pushed through. You guys should really go and see the movie.

After going around, then eating dinner, and meeting up with Janel, we headed to Dencio's to chill and bond and eat and drink. Yesterday was a great night. Thanks guys! :)

P.S. Rog ha! naks.. ;) Kelan tayo makokompleto? And Mr. Sasaki too, you really should have watched with us! hehehe
P.P.S. Grabe bilib ako sa mga babaeng to.. basagan! :))

Celebration!

• 121 went just like a breeze. It's the first time I didn't feel like sleeping in class.
  
• We rushed (5-10 mins) a report of a classmate on income taxes and other taxes because our teacher wanted to watch the Lozada Senate inquiry/hearing. Yes, we all went to the CPAGE downstairs to watch it in their TV. Perfect timing. I don't know with you, but this is why I hate the Arroyo administration and especially Abalos and FG! (what "colorful words" I can say of them)
• It was my lucky day. JACKPOT! First, it was like I was the only student in about 30-student filled room. "Marami pang vacant seats dito oh..Mr. Ong, transfer to the front. Pati yang katabi mo. Nakoo..I'll call you first sa recitation." Second, quiz! Yes. Internal Revenue Allotment (I think I got the answers right) Third, "Mr.Ong, please collect the papers of your classmates" Fourth, "Di ka pa tapos Mr. Ong. Akala mo ha.. So Mr. Ong, What's IRA?" O_O My God! This teacher really LOVES me! Fifth!!! Akala n'yo ah, pagkatapos ng 151, gigimik kayo...lagi na lang kayong gumigimik, diba Mr. Ong?" WTH! Haha! "Mayaman yang si Mr. Ong. Akala n'yo kita naman sa mukha sino 'yung magimik." I just felt really loved that time! :|
• College Electoral Board voting was postponed to Monday. I have to make my essay now. Pray for me.
• Barbie, Reg and Rog forced me to go to Trinoma and finally have a complete BFFL outing, "where it all started." Lets just say I gave in? (I know! I repent!) Kent went with us. Too bad, Tenai wasn't able to go, so in the end, we weren't complete.
  
• We watched Cloverfield. It was one hell of a roller-coaster ride. Literally? My head spun and I felt dizzy after. Don, if by different you mean it makes your head spin round and round the whole duration of the movie, then yes it's different. Sorry Kent..next time would be better. :))
• CSA Org Picture Taking! Take 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
  
• Lion Dance, Wushu and Fireworks...Fireworks was REALLY GOOD! Pao Pei, next time warn us when lighting fireworks, ok? Dangerous much! And don't light the finale first? But it was all great! Yehey! :)
  
• Ate dinner with Pats, Sarah, Mark and Merryan at Max's QC Memorial Circle since my parents suddenly decided to eat out and pick me up at around 8pm. o_O But, thankfully, people were up for a dinner, even if it's just Jollibee? :P

pictures will follow soon, hopefully..

Red Shirt Day

• Gong Xi Fa Cai!
  
• UPCSA Org shirt arrived today. It's more than what I expected, which is good. Cute!
• Tried to do Accounting 1 HW with Barbie, then Tenai...but failed.
• Lucky Coleen already did her HW! What a relief! o_o
• ArtStud - continued to dissect and discuss "Greenbelt" and "SM Megamall" and their meanings. Played with toys. Yes, small wooden blocks and action figures. Val Fig kinda got the hang of it. Wow! Fought with Joyce, because her action figure was copying my action figure's wardrobe! "Gaya-gaya ka kasi! Suntukan na!"
• Ate 2 monays for lunch.
• I went to NCPAG to pass my Accounting HW, and to look at the SC room for my name in the College Electoral Board nominations. Vote for me! :)
• Went back to AS to play Frisbee with Tim. I miss Frisbee! Maxi and Pats followed. I haven't played for quite some time! (And I'm not as good as you say Tim) Let's do this again! Enjoy!! Let's form a team! Yeahboy! 3 more girls! Anyone interested?:P
  
• Kakarmahin ka rin! Enough said. Reminder: CSA: Please be careful where you leave your stuff at the tambayan! I can't emphasize enough. Take care of your valuables.
• UPCSA had its Dimsum-Eating Relay around a little past 4pm. It was a success!
  

Congrats Cul-Soc, especially to Krisha and Cherrie! Thanks to those who've helped a while ago!

UPfied

Clea, Carlo, Sarah, Sheena, Chris, Mark, Me

After the "God of Gamblers" UPCSA film showing, I decided to check out UPfied and the launch of AdHoc. I was convinced by the CSA people in UPJMA to stay for the night, more so when Chris told me that he'd bring me home. (Thanks a lot man!)

It was really fun to set the record, and form "UP" using people who were holding candles and sparklers. It was even better when the Centennial band played "UP Ang Galing Mo", while we were all singing along with them. Oh, did I mention that the camera of MTV was focused on us that time. Oooh! :)

The fireworks went off at around 11pm, after Nescafe Soundskool band played their last song.

Chris Ng: "Mosmordia!"
Tasha Teh: "Expecto Patronum!"
Bong: "Levicorpus!"
