napapagod na ko sa 7am classes ko.. 3 times a week ganun first class ko! nakakatamad na talagang gumising ng maaga! :P
naantok ako ngayon,, napagod ba ako today? hmm.. medyo. naghanap kasi kami kanina ni aisa ng plants for the function eh (yeah, puro function na lang kwento ko,,) at narating namin ang UP diliman nursery! ang layo sa sibilisasyon, swear! nakakatakot pa yung place kasi parang ang daming lamok.. uso pa naman dengue. nung finally narating na namin ni aisa yung place, wala palang tao. :P sa umaga lang ata tlga may tao dun eh.. so plano namin 2m morning pumunta, before 109. so ibig sbhin, maaga pa rin gising ko 2m,, imbis na 8:30am class sa 109, magkikita kami ng 8am ni aisa. hay,, napapagod ako just thinking about it.
nag-bonding kami nila steph and jozy kanina. we were supposed to watch a movie pero hindi natuloy kasi may exam si steph, so dun na lang kami sa bahay nya. usap lang, balitaan, kain ng isaw.. ang saya! :)

a lot of things have happened since the first function.. kaya lang ang dami masyado para ikwento. i don't have much time today xc may exam 2m sa 104 tapos ako assigned sa group paper sa 109 lab due on tuesday. i didn't have the energy to do much yesterday after the divi trip (as usual, for the function) kasi talagang nakaka-drain siya, plus pag-uwi ko natalo pa UP (saying goodbye to a final four stint).. tsk, tsk.. medyo masama pa game ni.. nilang lahat actually ;) but the halftime presentation was pretty interesting. UP lang ata nagpapadala ng drummers para sa halftime presentation eh. astig! saw some familiar faces too.. ;)
now back to: poultry, egg, menu pricing, menu engineering (huh?!), foodservice revolution etc.. ayyy-ya-yayyy! :P heehee.. ^-^

smoked: a grillicious explosion of flavor!
*smile*
Good morning ma'am/sir. I'm Valerie and i will be your server for today. Welcome to our function entitled "Smoked: a grillicious explosion of flavor".
Today you'll experience 5 delectable dishes, starting with 'Think Pink' (made from pink lemons daw hehe) a refreshing glass of pink lemonade. Then for your appetizer, we present 'Squashed Soup' (a blend of squash and herbs with a swirl of heavy cream). For your main entree you'll be having the 'Bawk-Bawk-Be-Cue' (grilled chicken marinated in our top secret barbecue sauce) served with the 'Smashed Potatoes' and the 'Avocango Salad' (mixture of avocado and mango drizzled with olive oil and citrus juices). And last, but definetly not the least, we present the 'Crr-appumble' (chunks of apple, stewed in sweet cinammon sauce baked in layers of crumbly crusts) as your dessert.
I'll be back with your drinks in a while.
*huge smile still there* --> motto for the day? Grace under (enormous?) pressure!
The first of series A's (our class) four functions is finished! Whew.
I think each one us really needs this long weekend to recover..
The past few days were about long working hours, few to zero hours of sleep then waking up (really) early in the morning, standing for more than 3 hours while balancing heavy plates, subjecting oneself to the scrutiny of HRIM teachers,,,, and the list goes on. Sabi nga ng mga taga-higher years, just your typical function talaga.. We were warned early on. =)
Our group was the dining room crew at yesterday's function and that little number up there was our 'script'. We had to present each food as we serve it and we had to do it with a smile on our face. Kahit pagod na, puyat, mabigat ang dala, pagod, nangangawit, pagod at pagod, grace under pressure pa rin! Like we said yesterday, being tired is not an excuse anymore! Lahat ng tao pagod talaga.. Walang mas pagod sa kahit sino.. We just had to survive the culmination of all our efforts that 11:30-1:30pm period, then we're done..
I think mga 1:45pm natapos last customers namin, that's the only time everyone got to sit down and felt the exhaustion.. But at the same time relief! Tapos na! Wow. Hehe. One down, 3 more to go.. gogogo!
^Every 2 weeks ganyan kami from now on.. fun ^-^

for the record..
hindi ako marunong masyado ng html.. kaya seperate entry na lang itong kwento about the pics =) hehe..
HRIM 104 - Food Management laboratory class
Pastries na-assign sa group namin, at meringue naman samin ni donabel (my kitchen partner! we're fierce, i'm telling you.. hehe). Masaya namang gumawa ng meringue pero super DAMI lang talaga nya na halos 2 oras na namin siyang kaharap! Ang hirap pa kasi walang piping tube sa NIML.. so ayun, super improvised kmi. Pero i think nagustuhan naman ni mam bunagan yung meringue... well.!!! hehehe :D
Some more foods na kinain namin nung time na yun: cream puffs, different sandwiches, pineapple pie, veg salad, fruit salad, chocolate fondue ..etc -->yup, nang-iinggit lang ako :P
HRIM 105 - Beverage Management laboratory class
The five S's of evaluating wine :).. Nung monday, fortified wines yung topic namin so tinikman namin nun: Sherry, Port and Madeira.. actually, hindi ko sila masyadong type.. i still go for sparkling wines!
Balik AS trip kahapon!
Wala kasi kaming HRIM 106 class lab (1pm-4pm), last class namin 12noon pa, tapos next ay 5:30pm! Kamusta naman ang more than 5 hours na break? So ayun, nagpunta kaming AS nila tina, jozy and tope. Nag-food trip lang kme! Ang tgal-tgal na kasi naming hindi pumupunta dun! Ang daming new faces.. hindi katulad sa CHE, halos lahat kilala na.. hehe. Kakatawa nga eh, kasi parang nung nasa AS kami, nalimutan namin lahat ng problema.. nawala sa isip namin ang function, reports, exams, papers, org stuff etc.. Na de-stressed kahit for a while lang. Galing!

yeah! minsan, may sarili talaga akong mundo..
yung ang dami-dami mong iniisip all at the same time kaya mapapatunganga ka na lang sa isang corner hindi mo na namamalayan na mukha ka na palang ewan sa ibang tao.. yup, parang baliw.
anyway, kakatapos lang ng eat out ng UP SHARP kanina. sa BLU FINN katips na nga siya naganap at super stressful siya.. ewan ko ba. parang feeling ko kasi ang daming mali o ang daming pwede pang i-improve sa nangyari. maybe i'm just being hard on myself.. ewan ko. masyado lang siguro akong idealistic na nag-iisip na magiging perfect ang lahat. kaya kahit may onting mali, feeling ko big deal na. pero sa totoo lang i'm getting sick of this kind of attitude.. lalo lang akong nagpapahirap sa sarili ko eh.. i have to accept the fact that things don't really turn out as planned, or if ever, super dalang lang! lagi pa rin talagang may biglang susulpot na problema.. things like this really strengthen one's character.. next time mas magiging okay na ko promise! hehe... hindi na ko matataranta (masyado!) at mas mage-enjoy na rin..
i feel guilty pa kasi i knw may na-hurt akong friend kanina.. kahit hindi naman ako yung mismong nag-snap sa kanya kanina, feeling ko malaki pa rin ang contribution ko dun eh. basta.. mukha namang okay na kami ni said friend pero wala lang.. feeling ko hindi naman magsasalita yun eh, pero alam kong na-hurt.. tsk, tsk..
