Sunday Delight


       Chill time! Ashley invited me to go out with her. Yay! Bestfriend’s Day Out? Absolutely, Yes! I really missed her so much. And I think it’s been a month since the last time I visited her at their place. L  Anyways, what’s the treat?

Dinner at Sbarrow.

              “Is this a pizza house?” I asked myself silently. But I left hanging seeing all those pizzas being displayed. No wonder I answered immediately, YES! IT WAS!

                Wandering at the place, I was amazed by these gigantic and bulky pizzas displayed near the counter. Big enough to feed hungry fatty pigs, aren’t they? *Big smile* But aside from that, they are also catering pastas like spaghetti and lasagna. Honestly, prizes were a little bit expensive. However, you will never regret to purchase one because everything is worth it. Asking why? A slice of Sbarro pizza is enough to load your empty stomach! J
               

Movie Treat: Snow white and the Huntsman

              I love fairytales! Since I was a child, I’m kept on dreaming to become a princess, live at the castle, served by millions of servants and praise by my own people. However, dream is a dream. And that dream is bursting merely at my fancy world.

                After our dinner at Sbarrow, we watched Snow white and the Huntsman. Yay! We got a free Nestle Krunch! I think it’s there new product in the market. Yet, I tasted so good! It’s like a magnum ice cream. Filled with chocolate inside but coated with krunch (I don’t know what they called it). Well, talking about the movie, my verdict: the story line and the characters were good as well as the setting. But it’s just that I don’t like the ending. Bitin! Snow white became the queen and what’s next? What happened to the Huntsman? How about the love story between the main characters? Phee!I can’t answer my own queries. Perhaps, the director left the ending-of-the-story to the audience. At the end, it’s like the struggle and challenges that Snow white faced during her vengeance to the Evil Queen.

Hungry yet bloated




Fettucine Ala King


Today is what I called a very special day! Want know why? Eheeeem! I’ll share it maybe later. *Big smile*
I ate oats early this morning, but I suffered from gastric upset too much. It was nearly a day. That’s why, I felt too much weak. I want to pica yet my tummy gets irritated. So what I’ve done? Water therapy.
After the consultation, the boss and I went to pizza hut for lunch. I want to eat pizza, for real. But I ended up eating Fettucine Ala King. I ate a little bit but my stomach starts to twinge again. Oh crap! It causes me a lot of trouble. Damn! I felt so weak. I’m hungry yet bloated. I really want to eat!

Coffee Break


*Lex Cafe
  I HATE COFFEES! Guess why? It causes me insomnia (difficulty of sleeping at night). As a result, I got dreadful head ache the next day. So I decided not to sip any coffees anymore since then.

                Last month, I was at El Bajada Hotel waiting for my interview. Sir Aries was next to me (who was a completely stranger to me). He approached me and talked a little bit about networking business. Then, suddenly, he brought two Lex café sachet and offered me some. I told him that I’m not drinking coffees anymore. He asked me why, and so I told him about my story about it. But due of respect, I accepted his offer. Nakakahiya naman kasi eh, right?

                Come to think of it? It’s been half a month since I’m drinking Lex Café. Honestly, I really love its taste. And this coffee is extremely healthy made out from richest herbs all over the world. What are the contents? Trans-Resveratrol, Goto-Kola Herbs, Guarana Extract, Coral Calcium, and L-Citrulline. It makes you younger and healthy every time you drink it everyday!

                Why I kept savoring its taste? Simple! I got a better sleep at night. No headaches for the following day. Try it! It's very healthy and good for our health!

Farewell? Or Hello to Real World?



SPARK Casual Photo Shoot 


              
This is what I wore during our photo shoot for SPARK 2012, our official yearbook for this year. It’s been three months ago but memoirs were very fresh. It’s a very long story truly. However, I really thank God for all the blessings He gave me. I also appreciated the help of my friends and classmates during my difficult days. For my parents, who worked so hard just to send me to school. For my dearest sisters and brothers who always there for comfort. And I cannot also forget those advises and words of encouragement from my mentors and advisers. It's a long quest after all. However, I am proud that at last, I surpassed my college days! I am stronger than before. 

I am recently working as a company nurse. Fortunately, I enjoyed here very much. Truly a blessing, isn't it? Life is really amazing! Just don't give up no matter what! Say HELLO to the REAL WORLD!


Until next time....
Ann
 

PS: welcome back to the bloggers' world, Ann. 
Been busy lately.

A Night to Remember: Gawad Pedro!

Gawad Pedro is an annual celebration of recognition and appreciation of different outstanding leaders, athletes, clubs and club moderators who have done their best in different fields of extra-curricular activities every school year. The nominees were chosen by club presidents and club moderators and screened thoroughly by SALIGAN council through interview. The event was held at the Pennacle Hotel and Suites (located near Gaisano Mall of Davao)



stolen mask I used during the event
Peace! I forgot to bring mine. :)

OUTFIT
        The concept was Mardigra. Actually, it was known a cachet festival somewhere at Brazil where hue violet, green and gold are frequently used. Since I don’t have enough money to buy new clothes, I just sneak inside my old closet and search for something-to-wear. Since its Mardigra, I’m thinking of something metallic-based and sequined-material. Luckily! I find this fascinating stuff! 
Here take a look!
 
Top: White, fully sequined sleeveless
Botton: Metallic, lengthy kilt.

I really love this chocolate fountain! The choco was so yummy! If I have only known earlier that there’s an appetizer delight of various cookies outside the hall, I really want to stay there and eat these yummy treats!

And what’s for dinner?

Smiles! Our last backdrop for this school year. Kudos!

Me, keith-chan, and Don

So vain! even inside the elevator..tsk!

These two idiots told me that my long skirt is like a blanket. :(
They really love to bully me.
the outgoing seniors and student leaders who made their best to make this school year productive!
CONGRATULATIONS TO US!
Remember, we were making an application for some awards at Kasagingan, Torres? Unfortunately, the visual arts club didn’t make it this time. However, the mere fact that we were recognized is already an honor. Our hardships of labor, effort and time were truly paid off. Indeed! Every SPCian has a noble love of endless compassionate service to the San Pedro College community and adopted-society - “LOVE SERVES.”


PS: I thought we were late for the said event since we attended the blogger's meeting with Vern and Vernice at Abreeza Mall. Luckily, it didn't start on time. I met also a new blogger friend during the Gawad Pedro, ate Kyza. I'll post some pictures of her later. :)

Rush Hours

Wew! I’ve been so busy lately. I think I could already feel the pressure prior the graduation. 
Tomorrow will be our final exams but I’m not yet done with my clearance.
 Shall I study or not? You know, it’s a little bit tiring when you're studying.
Most of the time, I was in front with my notes but making some sketches. 
I really don't want to study. It made my head aches.
Besides I have many thing inside my mind. Requirements and school stuff.
 
    Meet the place – Kasaginan.
It is located near the Holiday Gym, Bajada, Davao City.
 Sorry if I don't have pictures to share with you guys 
the interior designs of the place.
 Rush Hours!
Me: Working with the Gawad Pedro application letter. Stressed mode!

Me: Blueberry Cheese Pie
               
It's not good to work without anything in your stomach! 
Ian, Vice president of the Visual Arts Club, treated me Blueberry Cheese Pie.
I like the melted berry on top. The taste was like a champagne but with a twist of sweetness.

After few hours, my head aches. 
It was already drained and  i don't know what should I included in the explanation.
We were working with our application for Gawad Pedro Awards.
The deadline was yesterday but then, we were given an opportunity to submit it tomorrow.
However, there will be deduction of points in promptness.

I think it's better than nothing, isn't it?
 This is for our club -  the Visual Arts Club.
 We are aiming for these following awards:
Most Outstanding Club
Breakthrough Project
Project of the Year

I'm still working with the Breakthrough Project. 
Wew! Rush Hours!
I hope we can make this tonight.
 I'm so stressed!

I'm so Blessed!

"I would always remember this night!"
I told myself.

9:00 am
I woke up late in the morning.
So I decided not to come to our school for this day.
What I did, I prepare all my stuff for the ramp later.

Three ramps,
Three different clothes,
three different heels/shoe,
twenty contenders,
but eight of us will be chosen. 

But actually, I have a strong feeling that I'll be not one of them.
It's not that I'm losing hope but it's actually my intuition.
However, since I decided to join, I must not quit until the end.
It's always my motto.
"Never quit until the end."

1:00 pm
I asked Tating (common name used to her/him) 
to fix my hair and for the make up.
while waiting for the others, Titz and I had a small conversation.

3:00 pm
Snacks time!
I would always tend to stop my work for 
FOOOOOOD!
Don't tell me you're not going to eat 
when there's so much food serve to you?

4:00 pm
Final touches for the make-up and my hair style.

4:30 pm
Travelling towards the school.
Thanks to kuya Jason for the ride.
Soo lucky. 

5:00 - 6:00 pm
waiting at the dressing room.
I got so nervous.
But thanks to my classmates, and friends 
who came there for the support.

7:00 pm
EVENT PROPER!

I never thought that some of my classmates made a banner for me.
I never saw this during the ramp.
I was so surprised when I saw this photo at Alma's photo album.

Lovely banner made by my classmates and friends
Thank you so much, guys!


For the first ramp, it's FASHIONISTAS!
Actually, I really don't know what to wear.
I need to wear something ORANGE.
I opened my closet and so what I found
was this orange skirt.
I just paired it up with printed top.
I know, sometimes, I'm not a good in terms of fashion,
but it's the only thing that I have. 
Vintage style
top: Krizia (printed) / below: old orange skirt
My make up was too heavy!


For the second ramp,
it's CREATIVE WEAR!
INDIGO
So I made a gown with use of  rice sack 
and smoke cellophane
with colors of blue and white.

My creative wear made up of smoke cellophane.
Thanks to my dear Karl and Val for helping me 
making this gown. 

And for the last but not the least,
the FORMAL WEAR!
ORANGE.

white and silver long gown/ orange satin cloth/ black top
I know I am not a good stylist. 
but did I make them blend?

Passed ten, perhaps, the declaration of top 8.
Everyone was cheering for their bets!
I have my own bets too.

As I expected, I am not one of them.
But I'm so happy to be part of the ROCK'S FACES year 2.

It would always be a good experience for me.
To ramp in front my schoolmates, classmates, and friends 
is not that easy for me.
Because I'm shy and I felt uneasy.
Because I maybe fail their expectations to me.
But still, I'm proud that I overcome this kind of feeling.

"I would always remember this night!
I may be not one of the top 8 finalists of Faces year 2,
I'm so proud that my father is one of my audience."
I told myself.

This is the first event that my dear father watched me.
I was surprised when my sister, Valerie, told me that his there near the
aisle watching. I felt so blessed! I felt so happy but then again, I wanna cry.
I really love my father.

I would like to thank my dear sponsors:
Karen Sy,
Karl Jason Alve,
Dennis Sarmiento and family,
Kuya Jason for the transportation,
ate Tating (hair and make-up)
and of coarse, to my dearest sister,
Valerie Mati-ong.

I would like to thank my classmates, and friends for supporting me during the show,
for the words of encouragement, and for always there when I need help.
Thank you soo much, guys!

This night will be a special night for me!

LOVE,
ANN
