Foodistas in Antipolo

The Foodistas went to Antipolo today to do a little project (feature on street food) for Table for Three, Please. The place we went to is just outside the Antipolo Church, where the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage is at. We all entered the church, and Joey took some shots. I prayed for peace of heart and mind for my friends and for myself. We proceeded to business after - went to the Pasalubong Center, where all the manangs are selling Antipolo and Philippine products.

After buying food, interviewing, taking pictures, we decided to dine at Vieux Chalet for lunch, since we were around the area already. It was a road trip! :3 We didn't know where it was. We got lost (slash) felt we were lost, but Vieux Chalet was worth it and all that! At the end of the trip, we hit two birds with one stone - the feature and the resto review. I had a great time :)

After everything, I got off at Katipunan, had my hair cut (my hair's not ugly anymore Achi Denise) and waited for Aldwin at Ateneo before going to Earl's house for a little class reunion. Earl just got back from Cornell and we had dinner at his house; plus we played Wii (Super Smash Brothers and Mario Party for the win). Too bad I didn't get to take pictures. Good thing Alex Uy brought his camera...and took all the shots.

The beach was great. The place was great (except for the overly priced food). The company was great too. I would love to go back there some time. I love the beach :3

Surprise, Surprise!

Patrick was really stressing out since weeks before about his 3 exams on his birthday. So just days before, I thought of surprising him. I got in touch with Joey and Hannah, and came up with a fantabulous (fantastic+fabulous) plan. I got Sheena and Tiffy too with the letters. Got help from Ces, Yao, Pam, Renz, Harrell and Maxi too♥

Sarah, Renz, Annabellee, Pao Pei, Merri, Harrell, Hannah, Joey, Tiff and I waited outside the Math building for Pat and Yao to finish their Math 17 exams. And then, we surprised him. :)) We kidnapped him and ate out at Pino Bar after (just near U.P.)

One Half and One Fourth Love

"Appear disappear, one half, one fourth, one fourth, one half, disappear, appear."

All photos by Tiffany Chua, using her new MacBook :)

I was with one half of the incoming execomm (Alvene, Tiff, Thea, Merryan), and one fourth of the outgoing one (Kim, Laureen), plus Chris and Harrell, at Fazoli's Eastwood for dinner. We bonded over stories, food, and "ducks" instead of bridge (woah), which is the perfect CSA Bonding Experience (CBE)

This duck?? o.O

Nah, not this rubber ducky...but a board game:P

I was as excited as Tiffy for her new MacBook! Welcome to the club new MacHead! Newb! (joke!) And now Kim, Laureen, Alvene and P want one...convert people, convert! :P

Behind the Face. Behind the Scene.

I went to school at around 9am, just in time to meet Ria, Dom, Tiff, Mark and Tim at the Aldaba Hall 10am to get the panel boards to be used in the UProject exhibit. We transported the boards to the College of Engineering using a truck, which we rented.

Tiff and I rode with Tim to Engg. Upon arriving there, Tiff had to leave because she had this batch shoot to attend to. We brought the materials (tarps, etc) to the Eng'g Lobby - where the setup is going to be.

Tim and I helped out until around 11:20, and headed back to AS after, in time for our 11:30 classes. We left Ria, Dom and Mark to set-up. Migs and Sean came later to help in setting up. I went back at around 1:10 with Hannah, and staple gunned the remaining tarps.

UPROJECT EXHIBIT ROCKS!!! ♥:)


THE EXHIBIT WILL RUN FROM MARCH 10-14, 2008. COLLEGE OF ENG'G, MELCHOR HALL LOBBY. SEE YOU GUYS THERE! :)

Stop. Look. and Listen.

This Ad from the Concerned Artists of the Philippines says it all. :)

Tiff: "Bong bong tanggalin mo damit mo."
CSA people: "Tiff ah!"
Me: "WHAT?!........."
Tiff: "Hindi hindi I mean 'yung jacket mo!"

B. C. P.
Stoplight.

I call for PGMA do to the right thing.
Resign!

Fire Away!

And so yesterday was Valentines Day. They say that it's only as good or worse as you make it. Yes. Flowers, chocolates and all these gimmicks filled the academically hallowed halls of the premiere state university.
Joey, Mik, Hannah and I attended Ariel's buffet lunch function at the College of Home Economics function room. I love the carrot soup and the chocolate fondue!
I found this around the Chinese Student Association's tambayan at AS 101. I find it really amusing. Good one, I say. :))

That evening, I had a very good talk with Don about life. Haha! I should talk to you more often. And, lets plan that road trip real soon..Yea?

Went to the fair with Don, Charles, Ainna, Thea, Tiff, and a lot more CSA dudes.

SISFIRE - UP FAIR!

• Dalandan Soda rocks! Love the Sax!
• Bought two shirts from Pepetees.
• Watched Ainna, Tiff, Thea, Chris have henna tattoos.
• Rocked with the crowd until around 11:30.
• Chitchat with The DonTCha on the way home. (I hope Charles' friend wasn't weirded out with us...)
• Super Duper Thanks Don, again! (I'll libre you next time!)

Rakestra 2008

And so last night marked the first UP Fair that I ever attended! :) Alvene, Charles, Chris, Clea, Don, Thea, Tiff and I went last night to Rakestra: Lost in Oblivion, the UP Fair, sponsored by Beta Epsilon.Alvene, Chris, Clea and I went ahead of "The DonTCha". We ate a very sumptuous dinner: 3 Liempo, 1 Chicken BBQ, 1 Siomai, 1 Calamares, very refreshing Buko Pandan juice, and NY Fries with Garlic Parmesan and Red Chili Pepper dips. (Oh, not to mention, they ate KFC while waiting for me)

This is one of the moments when we all hoped we've brought cameras with us. In the end, we just settled looking for a very bright place to take our photos with Clea's camera. Sad. But it worked, at least.

Charles, Don and Tiff and Thea followed after. UP Fair Shirts are cool!

It was definitely way better than Xavier fair. It was way better than ICA fair. It's just really different. It rocked! We all joined in and tried to squish our way among the crowd, to go near the front. The bands were okay, but what really struck me the most, and made my night was Urbandub, accompanied by no other than the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra. This is the celebration of music. I love it!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the JJs (Jumping Jologs) really enjoyed themselves. Sheesh. First time to see them in action. They amuse me! ;)

We all went home after (a little before 1am), except for Chris, who "attended a meeting", and went back 4am. What a night! :)

Thanks Chris for the birthday libre!
Thanks Don for the ride home!! :)

What better way to spend UP fair, but with CSA! :)
