more on the latter (since i'm pretty sure you're fed up with all about my studying). last feb22, we held our first ever club event, the 'tasting the world: international food bazaar". haay. it was a success. i'm still in shock and in joy just thinking about it.
let's see. here are a few details. we were supposed to open at 11am, but people were already lining up. one hour into selling the food, we were already having our first sold-out dishes (ubos!). an hour later, we were running out of almost all food in our table, and we already made above $460! ok, that might not seem a lot, but we had a lot of good feedback. by far, it was 'the most successful fundraiser ever in the history of hacc clubs'. the cafeteria that helped us out with the dishes, utensils, etc said we were the 'best and most organized food sale'. we deserve a 'fundraiser award' (this was said to me part jest/part serious by a student government friend of mine). what else - oh, we had a lot of people asking for ANOTHER bazaar, how awesome is that?
on top of it all, i got a lot of compliments from my advisors, fellow club members and friends about how well i pulled it off, good job daw. haaay. grabe. all i can say is, me being the event organizer in landco really paid a lot. i mean, the event itself was really a group effort, but it warms my heart that i had helped make it happen. d sa nagmamayabang ako. but really, it was a lot of hard work on my part as well, and i'm just so glad it all went well. plus the fact that club has a lot of good people who helped out, grabe.
i cooked my only specialty - carbonara. other dishes included, aah, pancit bihon, chicken curry, pastillos, brownies, texas sheet cake, some 3 african dishes, a romanian dish, african tea, sushi... ang dami!
