Retreating to the retreat

Before somebody who’s logically lacking studies for her Statistics test about the mind-boggling probability cases, I finally decided to post some random pictures from my camera. Exactly a month ago, some of the SSE girls went for a full-scene (by means of that, I say a lot of plants, trees, mountains and even the Laguna de Bay) and very fulfilling retreat at Tanay, Rizal.

Hello there, craters on the right side of my nose!

The picture shouts, “We are the dorks!”

“We are dorkier!”

I do those kinds of faces a lot, don’t I? :P

Set the Program

Pre-caution: IT allergic people are forbidden in this post just in case. Haha, I’m kidding :D

Believe it or not, it’s already been my second day of figuring out how my programming project will turn out --- at least for its user interface. Anyhoo, it was such of a big help since I get to skim through the other codes for Java. I’m pretty proud of myself, though, because I got to accomplish stuff and learn CSS!

 

Here’s what my program looks like as of the present :) I wish to finish it in time… meaning, before the sem ends.

I won’t leave this entry with that, though. Who wants sushi? They’re from Tempura, a restaurant just beside Gerry’s Grill in TriNoma. Their food are more than just deliciously, mouth-watering- looking. Here’s two of what we ate for our dinner celebrating my father’s birthday!

My Second Death

Months before, one of my friends tweeted me about having a Super Show III: Manila. I know you could guess my expression and what I exactly felt by then. Giddy, happy and at the same time determined to reach a whooping P10,000 for a VVIP seat. Some of you, though, thinks that it’s too much to spend for a three-hour concert. It was also the reason why I’m kind of not open to tell anyone about this fact because it’s either they comment “Ang yaman!” (which, of course, is a total false statement. I had to enormously hunger myself and avoid eating what I want in school) or “Grabe! Sobra naman!” (yes, that’s how I love this 13-3+2 all-boy Korean group). Nonetheless, I think the three hours was completely worth the wait!

Since words are less these days, here are photos from the concert itself. It was really nice to hear nice feedbacks from the people who see your photos regardless if they’re only interested about the boys’ pictures or if they actually like them. But, yes, thank you again! :) (I had to resize all photos XD)

MANN MANN... HANN-ey!

Early in the morning of the bright, shining day of February 14, 2011, my mother asked me out of the blue of where we should go to eat later that everning. I asked why, it did not even cross my mind that it was already Valentine's Day. Roses? Nah. Chocolates? It'll just make me fat. In short, that Monday was a day like any other. I'd rather stick with non-chocolatey food. Haha :P

Anyway, moving on to my point... despite the business (it should be read like, busy-ness) of my life as of the moment juggling studies, extra-curricular but school-related activities and the Korean fandom, I forced myself to have dinner with my parents. Just to share, over the last week, I mostly spent my night out the our lovely home that I never spent any meal with my family. Breakfast? Very seldom since I wake up earlier than them.

On my way to school, I was endlessly thinking of a restaurant where we can spend dinner aside from the infamous Pancake House. Then I thought of Mann Hann, a what seems to me a restaurant with very delicious menu since everytime I get the chance to walk by that place, there's always people lining up for their seats.

Indeed, my expectations did not fail. They really have awesome food!

How was your Valentine's Day? :D

Korean Food...again.

So I had yet another dose of Korean food a while ago but, tada! I'm not with friends this time but with my parents. I guess they got too overwhelmed with the food they served us since it's their first time to taste the very hot Korean cuisine.

Like the usual, I ordered for them a platter of Samgyupsal (Grilled Pork) which one of the waitresses grilled in front of us. The side dishes were totally rejected when the main dishes were served and, yes, we swam with kimchi --- three kinds of them. And we ate this dish... I just can't remember what it was but it's kind of like a rice topping.

Next cuisine to try with family? Middle Eastern, perhaps?

PS: I'd love to turn this blog to where I can post solely about food.
