eto po, mga pics!
some friends sa work ko -- julie (seated) - hk girl; yoko (with me, standing) - japanese
my room (in its non-cluttered state)!!! (i wish i could arrange the photos like thea did hers, pero tamad ako and pressed for time - gotta study soon!) check out my tambakan ng gamit (closet), shoe rack (kulang pa mga yan!), etc
ano pa ba... i went to a black black tie affair event last saturday. yes, the black black was typed on purpose. because, it was a formal event (hence the 'black tie') and it was predominantly in tribute for the negros (hence the first 'black'). it was in held in harrisburg hilton (hilton is a misleading overhyped word. half-expecting it to be this grand building, the hotel itself and the halls were so-so). thank goodness i didn't do the driving (an hour's drive on a highway!), moreso that it was night and raining really hard!
so my friend (Christian worship leader, btw, and wrestling coach!) got an award for being a black achiever. our school sponsored for 2 tables, so he invited me, and we also had some faculty with us. the good part was, it was Hershey (the chocolate company) that was responsible for catering on that night, so the food was great! the dessert, ironically, was the letdown. the chocolate mousse cake was 'airy' and unsatisfying, and the other fruit cake was, well, too sweet for me. but catering food, oks! ano pa ba.. the blacks really uphold martin luther king as their 'hero', which i will not comment on. the only thing i've heard about him was that he is a major plagiarist, but heck, if he inspires a whole race to be better people, then who cares if he was a plagiarist, right?
i also found out that there's a black national anthem pla. there was a production number which included mimes dancing and lip-synching to an amazing Christian music. galing! wish i brought my camera then. i'm glad i got invited, if only to relax and see some new things for once. life has been so monotonous lately that i needed some sort of spice in my life.
for those interested, here was my dress, though i was honestly insane to wear it at a 20 degree weather, not including wind factor (i brought a black jacket, buti na lang). my new black strappy shoes (pic to follow soon) were hot, tho! hehe
i'm set to go back to harrisburg again on feb19, for a honor's society thing. hope i can get in. i'm going this time with another friend. and yes, mengs, it's another guy. puti naman. i'll see if i can post pics of these people soon (they're all good people that i sorta hang out with and fool around with).
pish posh! much ado about nothing! what really needs focus right now, is my studies!!! kaya eto muna update ko for a while, but i promise to find time! next blog might be about our food bazaar. watch out for pics on those!
