YES!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for this day. March 15, 2014... is officially the start of our SUMMER VACATION. Meaning? I can finally have fun every Friday night without thinking of my Saturday Class. However, it would be for three weeks only because my plan is to enroll for the summer class. That's my plan but I'm still deciding...
My group mates and friends in Entrepreneurial Management; we passed our business proposal to our professor and this is us with her.
(Coftea.org; Business Proposal, we spent a lot of time, effort and MONEY for this proposal. There's a trade-offs between benefit and cost. The Cost is the money we spent and the Benefit is the friendship we made during the course.)
(My Entrepreneurial Management Professor and I. She worked in Japan (Corporation) for almost 7 Years so we can relate to each other.)
After class, we decided to eat out. Luckily, one of my friends brought her car. Road TRIP!!!!
(In the car, where we sang, laughed out loud and talked about the future.)
We went to Teacher's Village (Near UP Diliman), my friend suggested the place. Some of the restaurants inside the Village were already featured in Television. My girlfriends and I wanted to eat something healthy and fortunately we saw this place.
Fresh Selections. We parked just in front of Ministop. I got so HAPPY here because we're going to eat healthy food.
I like the interior of the place. Very simple, cozy, relaxing and the foods are so GOOD! and yes... AFFORDABLE.
I ordered Lumpiang Sariwa and Stir Fried Tatsoi.
So GOOD! We're planning to come back here... in the near future. I wanna come here with my cousins next time. :)
And since most of us are Accounting Graduates, we are very strict when it comes to money. This is us while discussing the division of our expenses. To be honest, I don't spend too much on eating out but today's an exception.
After turning the place upside down we decided to have some Tea and Coffee. My stomach ached so much and I didn't know why. Suddenly I felt so much pain. One of friends suggested this place. A Sweet Spot. I think the owner is a Japanese Enthusiast because I saw a lot of Haruki Murakami's books, Anime posters and Doraemon. For my friends, Japan = Erica... nowadays.
I love this place. Definitely, I will come back here. Their Green Tea Latte was very mild and I think it didn't contain too much milk which is good because I am currently reducing my intake of dairy products. Aside from free Wi-Fi connection, the songs played inside the café were very relaxing. The lighting got me in the mood to write on my notebook.
I still feel the terrible pain in my stomach in this picture but my friends made me laughed. Really, I'm so lucky to meet them. I hope to be friends with them forever...
(Mark Twain quote on the wall.)
After that, we decided to go to Araneta Center Cubao because I want to buy some teas. I want to buy Authentic Japanese Tea but the shop is located in Makati City, so maybe next time.
We ate our Dinner at Araneta Center Bancheto. There was a Dance concert during that time but we didn't know the group who danced on the stage. There were a lot of girls who were screaming and my ears hurt a lot. haha!
The ambience was so nice. It was windy and the music was good too. There were a lot people and I surprisingly enjoyed the night.
I had FUN today. I want to thank all of my friends who treated me well. :)

Drama Part
Last week title was "A Week Of Disappointment". I waited for a call and message but I haven't received anything. ZERO!!!! As in NOTHING. How could that be? I was so depressed and I asked myself "Why are they so CRUEL to me? What did I do to deserve this?" My students noticed my "DARK AURA" and they tried to cheered me up which they really did because the only time I felt happy last week was during class discussion. I got tired from pretending that I am okay, fine and happy... the muscle on face felt so stiff every time I go home.
In my room, I always find myself staring at the mirror.
"Clearly, you are trying so hard again. Why don't you take a rest and do something new? Why don't you try to set aside your feelings for someone and think about the beauty of your surroundings? Don't waste too much time thinking about someone who clearly don't think about you... you are being so pathetic. You have a lot of things to do, to organize, to study, to learn... you have a lot friends... you have a lot chocolates to eat... you have a lot books to read. Spend your time on things that will help you grow and not on things that will pull you on sadness... please... have mercy on yourself."
That's what my other half told me... Since I am sad. I tried to make everyone happy. I love surprising people with simple notes. I left messages on my colleagues table. They told me that I am such a sweet person. I was so happy because they became happy too. Seeing the smile on their faces, I couldn't help but to feel good. Somehow, the sadness disappeared.
So today is Sunday... I will play guitar, drink tea, write on my notebook, clean my room, dance Zumba, cook, watch Tudors series and movies... etc... maybe by doing them, I can SET ASIDE.
Things that made me happy:
- Road trip. I miss going out with friends. I miss thinking about nothing but good things.
- Healthy food trip. Every time I eat healthy food, I always feel that my body is clean.
- Eating out.
- Green Tea Latte.
- Tea shopping. I bought Organic White Tea, Oolong Tea and Peppermint Tea.
- Strawberry Facial Mask. Since I want to pamper myself this Sunday, my girlfriends and I bought some facial mask and other feminine stuffs to relax ourselves.
- Laughing with friends.
- My students. I received a lot of gifts and letters. I feel so overwhelmed and I thought that I always received gifts... no matter how simple the gifts are... they MEAN SO MUCH TO ME. Every candy wrappers and containers of their gifts... I keep them in my treasure box because Every student is IMPORTANT for me.
- MBA Good news. So, we went to MBA Office yesterday. We were told that after getting our MBA Degree we are allowed to teach. So, which means I can finally become a REAL teacher in the future. If this is true, I don't have to study again to get 18 teaching units after graduation. It would be nice... I want to teach Literature in College...but let's see.. because my plan is to work outside Philippines... For now, I will have fun. :)
Have a great day everyone!
