Those Bump and Bounce

1. I have been sick for weeks because the freakin' flu vaccine triggered a bunch of bacteria hanging out in my system. It was a struggle because it happened just in time when my focus and attention is greatly needed at work. Honestly, I want to pat myself on the back for the good fight. I used to be very stubborn with my medicine but this time, I had to follow the timeline. I even use alarm to make sure i take my meds every four hours. i'm becoming a grown up woman. cheers! 

2. finally, it's back to school program kids! i am so excited to be coming back. i hope everything works out just fine this year. I might still have a problem with my schedule for the second semester but for now, I'll enjoy this sem mingling with the undergrads, feeling like an undergrad myself. Haha! can't wait to pay the jeepney saying "estudyante po!". AND IF someone ever begs to disagree, i have an ID to back it up. (etong sayo, bitch!)

3. Everyday is a hectic day at work. I'm finally done being a trainee. I am now a full-fledged process expert. chos! My shift sucks. the pay sucks. but i like it here and most of the people. 

4. Remember when you were younger and you always tell yourself that once you grow up, you wanted to do this and that. And then one day, you wake up and you're already a grown up. But then you realize you don't really want the things you thought you like. Like what they always say, change is inevitable. But i'm happy with this kind of change. 

5. And just for fun! Here we are in a sort-of-a-family-dinner. 

Mi Casa Su Casa

One of the things I secretly wanted to become someday, if heaven forbids, is to be an "interior decorator." I have always been fascinated with furniture, colors, and house design. 

Probably, a huge influence comes from my father because he teaches industrial arts in high school. That is sort of like engineering, drafting, estimation and etc. I used to play with the house models (projects of his students) as my doll house. It's so cool because I have so plenty of them i can just choose whatever house i want. 

And when we were just starting to have our humble abode built, I was my father's assistant in checking out home depots for the lowest price of construction materials. I  would always accompany them in choosing the tiles, color of paint and the likes. I would always give an input as to what i think suits better. Of course, at that time, i was particularly interested in how my room would look like. 

I used to always rearrange my bed and post stuff on the wall like how I see it in movies where kids put posters and their favorite artist. When I sort of moved out when I studied here in Manila, I never think i somehow lost that urge to decorate my room since I was only home for the summer which last for about three weeks as the longest. 

Now that I'm working, I look forward to having my own place. And here are some of the few things I always check out for in Stumbleupon and Tumblr. And maybe someday, things I would like to include in my own home.

Yay for the FREE porkchop! 

Just because it's too hot at home, we couldn't help but go to the mall to relax. I'm not into window shopping anymore because i always end up feeling bad when i see something i really like and i can't afford it. So, the next best thing to do inside the mall is to eat. 

In selecting a restaurant:

Rule #1: It must be somewhere I haven't tried yet (which is plenty). 
Rule #2: It has to be yummy! 

Rule #3: It must be light on the budget. 

So, just when we strolling from one resto to another, a young girl handed me a stub for FREE porkchop. Yay! Of course, it's not entirely free, we had to order a minimum purchase P30+ worth of the main entree. And it's a deal! It's not a problem if the first one we order is a little expensive since we're getting the second one for free. 

They have plenty of staff to accomodate the guests and they are all amiable. I appreciate the fact that if you ask for anything, it wouldn't take too long to get what you asked for. When you don't worry about your meal or it's not taking too long to wait for your water, you get to enjoy the food more.

Yay! for the FREE  Grilled Porkchop + Mixed vegetables + Cajun rice. 

As for the taste, it's super YUMMY! The steak was very juicy and the porkchop was saucy. I like the right amount of yumminess in your mouth. Hindi nakakasawa. Even the veggies are awesome. Tamang luto lang. Hindi hilaw, hindi rin overcooked. It's sweet and buttery. Yung tipong wala ka talagang ititira sa plate mo. 

Well done! Here is the Steak and Grilled Chicken. Super Yummy!
