UST Paskuhan 2013

Hi guys! I want to share what happened during PASKUHAN! And man I tell you! It was not glamorous at all. Not pretty! Like, quite messy but fun in some ways. I have been attending Paskuhan for quite a while now and I think this is not the best that I have been. Let's start from the start. We arrived really really early for the occasion. Say, 4 pm? The Paskuhan is not until 7 so we really tried our best to beat our own record. I think our earliest time is around 5 ish. So since we were early, we decided to have merienda first.

sister dear

We went to Santorini! Again, that might not be any News to you at all since you probably know by now that I love going there. Also, we had some milkshakes from Indulgence.  And then we went back to the field. I tell you it was rather a very rainy Paskuhan. Like to the point where we weren't able to use the newspapers (to sit on) I prepared. It's just a floody/muddy mess.

It all started with a mass and during the mass, I was really hoping that the rain would stop immediately. It didn't fail me. That much. It continued raining for a while after the mass and stopped for good after probably an hour.

 I really really feel so bad that we left during the mass but we didn't really mean it. We're just avoiding getting wet and probably sick. We didn't leave as in leave though. We stayed on the pavement where there are trees to shelter us sort of. 

this is all we get

And this Paskuhan is really different because there's no fireworks and stuff but the priest told us that it wouldn't be a Paskuhan without Fireworks so this happened.

HAPPY US

Main Building is Gorgeous!

After the mass, we gladly went back on track. And what's nice in this year's Paskuhan is that there are few mono blocks and I guess we were lucky to be able to get some for ourselves. One thing I really wanted to achieve each Paskuhan is to get closer in front. Like, god knows how far we were on stage for like 4-5 years and yeah this Paskuhan is the closest we were on stage and yay for us!

this is how close we were

I would still prefer us being at the center of the field though but this is a lot better than being at the back or somewhere not in front. Quite an achievement. Can we just take a moment and appreciate the beautiful but awkwardly positioned chandelier.

Danita Paner

People would probably say Joyce Pring but I'd say Danita is the most gorgeous person I've seen on stage that night. Irrelevant information.

My favorite performer? RICO BLANCO! Like, it's not even debatable. He's just so good! The rest was also good but he's just the best. The performances were great! I don't have anything bad to say about the performances but man they really started too late.

 I think it's because of the rain or something but still, it was annoying. I think they started at around 8:30 and the thing is we weren't able to finish all the performances and stuff because I was expecting a 12am wrap up but this time around they still have 2 bands on queue at 1:30 in the morning. Also, they were cutting performances. I mean, the host would come out all of a sudden during a short pause thinking the performance is done but yeah I think they were rushing things already. Oh well.

who's haggard?

I have duty in the morning so we really have to go home so we did.  That's about my Paskuhan experience guys. See yah!

Office Christmas Party

This might be a little boring but I just want to share with you guys our little Christmas Party. Mostly pictures because I don't really have much to share well except for a crazy taxi ride on our way there. As I was saying guys, we rode a taxi from the City Hall to the venue and although it was a struggle to find one that would lead us to the place, we managed to ride one but this is what happened. Let's just start this blog with a picture for featured photo's sake. LOL.

So I am quite familiar to the place since we've been dining around the area quite occasionally and this taxi driver agreed to take us to the place, right? He was going to the right direction at first and I actually kind of remember the exact place of the venue but when he passed by that place, I was like, okay, maybe I was wrong and then he went straight somewhere and I was like, bitch wait! I asked the driver ever so politely if he thinks we already passed by the place and he was like " where are we going again?" and I was like, somebody stop me! LOL. 

who run the world?

It's probably a tactic. He probably thought we don't know where we're going and he's gonna roam around so that the charge meter would go higher and stuff. So that's the story folks. Anyways. It was relatively a short night. We basically had dinner. But they did give the 13th month pay that time which was unannounced and they said it would be given some other day so that was a surprise. 

Photo bombing fail (sort of)

giving my gift

receiving my gift 

Also, we exchanged gifts which was also a highlight. I mean, we have wish-lists though. I don't like the idea of wish listing. It's like having someone buy something for you. Why don't you just buy it yourself then? I know it's a guarantee that you'll like the gift but the essence of giving is lost along the process. Somebody stop that shit. Okay that's all I have for this post guys! Expect a lot more Christmasy thing and yeah see yah! Merry Christmas!

Everyday Cheers!

I look very pale nowadays. But that's besides the point. Hello there guys. 

Recently, I got a recommendation from my sister about this tea place near her school. Well my previous school too to be proper. She said it's pretty nice and somehow hidden. That I like for sure. First thing she recommended me is their Smores! I have been looking for a place that serves this for so long and I'm just lucky to be able to find one.

SMORES <3

It's a pretty small piece for what it's worth I think but whatever. It's quite good. Not good as in GOOD but uhm good enough. And also, not that expensive actually.

My cousin who doesn't really like marshmallows enjoyed it too. So that's nice.

Oh I'm pretty disappointed with their teas though. We both had something from the Rock Salt but yeah it was such a disappointment at some point. I mean, not really that good. Not even average kind of.

My cousin got the Dark Chocolate and I got their Wintermelon tea. I wouldn't recommend either of it.

What I liked though is their Waffle. Blueberry Cream Cheese to be exact. Will review more flavors soon but yeah definitely try this out if you may.

Their fries is okay and they serve it i this mason jar kind of thing and yeah nice one. I think it's pretty small for the price though. Anyways. That's all I have for you guys. See yah!
