So you're persimmon, eh?

It’s my first time to eat a persimmon fruit. I’ve heard of it before and just drool at the thought of it. I saw it at the mall today and snatched the chance to satiate my curious palate.

I actually love the taste beacuse it's so sweet.

Aaaah~ hohoho (^o^)~! ♥

Eh-eh eh-eh-eh eh-eh I'm 21: A post-birthday update

Well, I was actually hoping that no one would remember. Honestly, I didn’t want any celebration to occur. I confess that the delight and anticipation for my birthdate was dwarfed by my anxiety for the upcoming boards. hohoho~ I actually thought to myself that I have no right to be merry or be cheerful at all, especially this early. That’s the primary reason why I wasn’t so excited to cause for a celebration.

Every time people try to ask me about my birthdate I just attempt a modest smile and politely look away. I initially try to deny if someone guesses the right date until someone said, “Hindi kapasa sa board ang mag-tinikal!” I was caught off-guard with that statement and, of course, with nerves running through me I told them that it’s on the 28^th this month. The board exam is everything for me. It’s as if it’s between life and death, it’s everything or nothing at all. I have to and I need to pass. Nevertheless, I believe in myself and my capacity.

So now that everybody knows ‘when’, the next questions are ‘where’ and ‘how’. [I was undeniably right!] Although it was obvious I have no escape. I offer no affirmation to their suggestions but a beam of shy grin.

Coincidentally, St. Jude Thaddeus’ feast is on the 28^th as well. So we went to church and pray to the patron of the desperate and the lost. Still hoping that their insistence would die a natural death. I told them that I’m bargaining for a sign if I was to treat them. But the sense of right and wrong streamed a bright light. >.<

I gave in to their demand and we went to a local all-you-can eat buffet. Though to think that I could have bought a pair of jeans and shirt from a high-end store with the money I spent. I  hope that somehow I imparted a humble amount of happiness to them.

This years’ celebration is different from the previous years. Nonetheless, I consider this a special one. Moreover, I would like to thank these people for surprising me on the eve of my birthday. Especially to those who came up with the idea. It was a first and it touched my heart. Thank you. ♥

Pizza, Carnival and Bargain Escape

When it comes to snacks and foodstuffs my friends and I wouldn't miss it for the world. There's a new pizzeria established at our hometown a few weeks ago. Tia Nina is the name of the latest eating place, and aside from pizza they also serve pasta, refreshments and the likes. Actually, we've heard of the place only by ear but we were amazed because they served larger size pizzas. It caught our interest straight out. Sure as can be, I was more inclined to see how it looks than how it tastes. (^o^)~

Quite a few people were there probably brought about by the T'nalak Festival. The place is relatively closed in but nonetheless accommodating. The staff prepares the pizza upfront. Though like any other business establishments serving foods and drinks it takes a while until what you ordered is served. Funny how I can picture my friends' faces for some modest stomach grumbling. I actually came after them because my family and I had our dinner from somewhere, somehow I was satiated when I came.

While waiting, we spent the time for some small talk and of course some dissing and mocking like we always do. ~~ and DOCUMENTATION. (^w^)~!

 They ordered an extra large sized pizza. A thin crust pizza with 16 slices, though I don't exactly know what flavor/recipe it was. It tastes really good minus the slight burns in the crust.

The evening was still young after our pizza experience and besides it's the eve of the fiesta. We decided to head to ProTech Center for some entertainment. It took us a long time and some cash at the carnival because we were caught by the heavy rain. After the rain, we went in to some stalls stationed outside ProTech Center. Moreover, we also went to some bargain stores fixed alongside the streets.

I really had a fun night and enjoyed much of it. Thanks to my friends who keep me company always. ♥
