Yummy Weekend

The semester resumed about a month ago and it was terribly cool and exhausting. The schedule was quite hard because I have my morning class every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for my TESDA Certificate and evening class from Monday to Saturday for my Bachelor's Degree. It was fun making my self too busy but of course sometimes it's tiring. Lucky enough to have a Mom who LOVES to cook,she always make simple dishes special. She was currently enrolled into a culinary arts class 'cause she wants to improve her cooking skills though it was already good. From time to time she was cooking/baking different specialties and we really love to eat those yummy foods. It was the best medicine for our tired body. This time I do not know what the word DIET means, all I know is to EAT.

This afternoon we baked Chocolate and Raisins Oatmeal Cookies and Vanilla Chiffon Cake, at the same time we found a time for bonding. It was fun to mess our dining table with flour, sugar, choco chips and butter, and many more but we made a great output. Here are some pictures that will make you crave. LOL.

Last week's menu was my all time favorite Pancit Malabon and Chicken Pastel.

I am excited to taste more of my mom's recipes. Wanna know her special ingredient? LOVE is the answer. hehe. Tiring days has no place when you taste foods that was sauteed, simmered, baked and boiled with love.

Last May 29 I went to Cuenca Batangas with my group of friends. It was a once in a lifetime experience to be with them, We all had fun, every thing was full of adventure and excitement. Or just simply we are OVERJOYED for what we experienced there. On our fist day, we bathed on the nearest spring. The water is very fresh and cold it soothes our tired body from a long ride.

On the second day, We climb a mountain for about 1500 feet high. It was so cool, specially when we reach the top of the mountain where we can see the great scenery of Batangas.

It was a PRICELESS happiness and experience. We had a great bonding that made the foundation of our friendship more stronger. Till the next time.

Thank you guys.

I'm craving for these drinks that I first tasted in Vietnam and Cambodia. I want this to cool my body from this dying heat!

This is cafe sua da or milk coffee with ice.

And this one is nuk mia or sugarcane juice.

Both really tastes good.

Happy mom's day MAMA. I love you so much.

Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love.

Bloated

Since vacation has come, all i do is eat..rest..eat..sleep..eat..surf the net..then eat again. and now I feel bloated. I don't have any activity to lessen my weight. All I do is adding fat to my body, I don't sweat. So I'm going to try a regular exercise to start losing weight, I will also lessen my food intake though it's quite hard.

I researched some info that can help me and I hope it will work. I'm gonna start this as soon as possible. I feel conscious about my body weight. I don't want to look fat nor chubby. My pants already fits my legs and it sucks. hehe

I will do jogging at the nearest park, early in the morning. Drink plenty of water, food diet!.

If you have suggestions that will help me to lose my weight, feel free to write it.

Earning money is NOT that EASY

Yesterday, me and my friends went out to seek for a summer job, we went to EPZA (Philippine Economic Zone Authority) in Rosario Cavite, a place where thousand of people in Cavite works. But unfortunately we don't find any 'cause hiring has been stop and there are no slot for teenagers like us. The positions they are looking needs experience that we do not have for now. So we decided to go into a mall somewhere in Rosario just to relax after long hours of walking under the sun. And luckily we saw our former classmate who is working on a fastfoodchain inside the mall so we took the opportunity to ask him if there's a hiring. And we're lucky 'cause they are searching for applicants so we don't hesitate to pass our resume and after passing..wait for few minutes..take the exam..interview..and finally the result..YAHOO!!! I passed them all but unluckily my friends do not.

Feeling? I am surprised and shocked 'cause I'm not expecting it.hehe, after the briefing I am so happy but not today when I started the training in the Counter Station, It's not easy, I do not enjoy what I am doing like what I thought, It's a hard job, you are holding lot of money,you are the one to complete the order of your customers, you do not have any assistant, you are doing all of that by your self,you are talking while doing something, standing all the time of your duty,it's a multitasking work and yet you'll get paid for a cheap amount. Not worthy to pay your exhaustion. Unlike cashiers in supermarket who are sitting while punching and swiping the items of the customers and wew they also have assistants to plastic the items.

I decided to quit these kind of job and just concentrate with my studies,'cause after experiencing the job I knew it was not for me, it not suit the job I really want. And the most important of all I value more and understand more the essence of being educated. We need education in order to improve and excel our skills, in order to have good jobs,good positions,good salary that will worth the trouble, time and skills we are exerting. I also realized that you need to be more patient and more diligent to earn money. You need to exert full blast of your energy and sweat to stand on your own feet.

Just aim high and reach your goals!!
