LATE NIGHT SURPRISE!


After posting my previous blog post, my sister (miraculously) arrived home, holding a container of French Macarons. I immediately screamed because it's my favorite pastry! At first, she teased me by saying that they weren't for me and pretended to give me the container until I calmed down a bit.


Turns out that it was a gift from Ate Nique! It's so awesome that she knows what I like. Thank you so much for the surprise!

Now I don't know if I should eat these now or patiently wait until tomorrow morning~

Punishment or Blessing?

Just trying to avoid cramming (again)

My Friday class is usually from 9am to 12nn but today we were dismissed an hour early, so I had more time to stay in the library to work on my report for TQM. I worked on it for a while, then I took a nap and then I went back to working on it. Later on, in the middle of the process, I got bored that I stood up and started browsing through some baking books for a good baked cheesecake recipe but I couldn't find any so I went back to working on my report.

At around 2:30pm, my adviser dropped by the library and was surprised to see me. She then told me to go to the Demo Lab and assist Chef JA into preparing the ingredients for tomorrow's activity; even though I was in the library "studying." As I was getting my things from the desk, she asked why was I still in school, I frankly answered her "I don't want to go home." with that, she immediately asked "Why? Is there a problem at home?" realizing that my statement sounded as if I was upset, I defended my first answer by saying "Nothing is wrong. I just get so bored staying at home all day." (It's true!)

I was planning to leave school at 4pm but it felt embarrassing to tell the chef that since my plans weren't that important and urgent to do, so I just dealt with helping out until the end.

This was the only time I could take a photo of what I was doing

The preparation ended at 5pm and I was hoping that my purpose for staying in school, all day, would still happen. I rushed to the lobby as fast as I could and when I entered someone was shocked to see me and asked "Why the hell are you still here?"* I explained to her that it was a funny story of how I ended up this way. She looked like she was still in shock.

I finally left school and went off to the MRT station, forgetting to pass by Gourdo's to check the prices of some equipment I need to make a cheesecake since I was feeling quite tired from "studying" and the sudden food preparation. As I arrived Makati, there were so many places that I wanted to go to namely Dairy Queen, Tea Farm, The Market (for Sebastian's Ice Cream) and FaBurrito but I didn't want to spend, so I rushed going home, hoping for good food to be found in the fridge. Thank goodness that there were good foods at home and it got better when my grandmother brought home more food!

So was this day a punishment for me because I didn't want to go home or a blessing because I didn't stay at home for the whole day? I would say it was a blessing! Though the miracle I prayed for was a fail... No need for me to explain it.

Have a blessed weekend everyone!

* Unlike the students from other colleges/universities who still stay in the campus to hang out with their friends, the students in my school like to leave immediately after classes. (Long story) So far, I'm the only student who stays in school the most. (Yeah I'm a nerd but not the brainiac type)
