Our school is now celebrating Linggo ng Wika, a week dedicated to our national language, Filipino.
Within this week we will be doing all sorts of activities. Each batch is assigned a certain festival for which they will present a dance. Our batch’s festival is the Panagbenga, or the flower festival (in Baguio). We have quite an exciting dance prepared with plenty of stunts and props. 
Besides dancing, there will also be group contests for singing and reciting poems. For the singing portion my class chose the song “Sandalan” by 6Cycle Mind. We decided to give a story to the song by dividing the class into different stereotypes (geeks, jocks, cheerleaders, etc.) but leaving out one person who plays the misfit new student.
Here are a few pictures from our rehearsal:
Guess who the misfit is!

Okay, this is one very belated post about a very belated party. Last August 2, I finally celebrated my birthday with my dearest orgmates—yes, FINALLY, because my birthday’s on May 27! Hahaha!
As early as March, I already knew how I’d celebrate my birthday with my college besties (karaoke!), but I practically swore that we wouldn’t have it unless we were complete. After weeks and weeks of postponing—one or two couldn’t make it at a time, and I’m a birthday brat, I wanted complete attendance—I finally got to celebrate, 68 days after I turned 21! 
We went to Red Box in Greenbelt, and we had so much fun singing our hearts out! Here are some snaps:

I love cars. I love looking at them—the form, the shape, the price (if it’s cheap enough for me to buy). Yesterday I went to the Manila International Auto Show at the World Trade Center, against my will at first. But after having been talked into it by my friend, I figured, it might be good for viewing pleasure. Mind you, I would have much rather wanted to watch a movie in Mall of Asia.
It wasn’t as interesting compared to the previous one I’ve been to. There were not much cars, although, there were a few that caught my fancy. I even saw a few friends who modeled for the event (They didn’t see me). Anyway, I was waiting for freebies, like, loot bags and stuff—I totally forgot that it was a show and not an expo! Nonetheless, I had so much fun taking photos of cars that exceeded my expectations of a car.
Iron Man’s Car! Super hot!

Hey, everyone!
It has been such a busy week for me—scripts, midterms, recitations, and Chapter Three of my thesis were due this week. I am so glad I survived! You know, whenever I study or do something school-related, I see to it that I have food to keep me awake and yes, motivate me to study some more. Haha! I couldn’t have survived this week, if it weren’t for these food: (They’re not necessarily my comfort food but they helped me pull off all-nighters.)
- New York’s Finest Pizza of Yellow Cab
My brother, Kuya Brian was in the mood to eat pizza on one school night. At first, I was annoyed that he bothered me while I was typing my assignment but when he told me, “Bea, pa-deliver ka pizza,” my mood instantly changed. Haha!
- Cheetos and Act II Butter Lover’s microwavable popcorn
These are definitely part of the grocery list every week.
- Koko Crunch and Cowhead Fresh Milk
Ahh, my favorite tandem for midnight snack and breakfast
- Barbecue-flavored cornick
Some of my blockmates went to Laoag for their thesis immersion. One of them bought cornick for me as pasalubong. Thanks, Kitch!
- Sweet Home BBQ Burger of Bubba Gump
Just last night, Kuya Brian brought food from Bubba Gump. By the way, he works in Bubba Gump Greenbelt 3 as a chef. He brought Cajun Shrimp for my mom as well.
These are just some of the food that I ate randomly this week. I know they aren’t exactly energy boosters, but it just so happened that these helped me de-stress somehow. I’ll try to eat a well-balanced diet, which includes lots of fruits and veggies in the coming weeks to keep me healthy as I pull off all-nighters.
You know, Candy girls, we all deal with stress differently. It is important to find ways on how to reduce your own stress level. So how about you? What do you eat when you’re stressed or when you’re studying? Let’s compare!
Enjoy the long weekend girls!
Knows what to do when stressed,
Bea
P.S. I know this post would have been better if I had pictures but sorry I forgot to take photos of me eating all these. Hehe!
I have always loved Pixar animated films and my two top favorites would be Meet the Robinsons and Finding Nemo but this movie definitely climbs up to the top spot. The movie is none other than Wall-e! I bet everyone who has watched it would agree with me and to those who haven’t I’m sure you will right after you get yourself a ticket!
My family and I were in SM Mall of Asia last Sunday figuring out what to do because it was a late celebration for my sister’s birthday. So, after shopping through some stores, we went to Tagaytay Highlands Steakhouse for dinner, which was a restaurant that I think would have the best ambiance and setting in the whole Mall of Asia. If you haven’t been there it’s located at the very end of the mall, parallel with the bay and near the IMAX center. The food is pricey but the meals are good for two and besides if it’s a special occasion (my sister’s birthday) then it’s okay to splurge. After a delicious dinner, we were thinking of a “family” movie because usually every Sunday we would watch a movie. Our family is composed of movie junkies. Then, we heard good review about Wall-e and decided to watch it! Luckily, our parents were game for an animated film.
For a robot, Wall-e is so adorable! (from http://www.robotwall-e.com/)
