SIGLO: The UP Centennial Collection (DESIGN SAMPLES)

http://arkirep.multiply.com/photos/album/12#
i drool over the jackets and the lanyard!

i have yet to find out the ordering process.
till then, drool with me fellow iskos!
hehehe...

all in a week's activity...

i've amazingly finished the clearance process in a day nung tuesday. and i saw jomie too (whom i can't pursue to attend the grad. toink. matigas ang ulo...haay). i was also able to pay for and accomplish the phi kappa phi requirements that day. though, yung picture ko the next day ko pa nabigay.

spent wednesday and thursday at Paranaque. hehe. watched dvds as usual. haha. amazing ang brand new flat screen tv nila jc haha, surround sound pa mhen! kulang nalang popcorn. laugh trip na naman sa White Chicks and Scare trip with Shutter (the Asian version). and i heart 27 Dresses...na-encounter ko na naman si Katherine Heigl...and yung crazy wife ni Ben Stiller sa Heartbreak Kid eh yung sister ni Katherine dun sa movie. hahaha. may crazy reputation ba xa?

heniwei. i suddenly constructed an "inspirational message" of some sort...for uh something, hehe. ewk, ang bulok ng message ko, but i did my best! hihi :D

then...tada! interview day nung friday. akala ko sandali lang, but no, tila 3-step process ang interview at iba iba pa ang nag-iinterview...pataas ng pataas ata ng posisyon. oh, i saw Kuya Jomar there..hehe, we said our "hellos"...at medyo chumabby siya, pero in fairness, bagay sakanya kaysa yung thin guy i knew nung first year college pa ko, hehehe. Thank God everything went well. May 5 is the day i'll become a member of the Philippine Labor force! yikes! scary yet inexplicably exciting...

hmm, what else?

i was able to meet jejo's co-workers. they were fun! haha.and very accommodating. Dagitab's office is cool. I guess Miko has an eye for classy interiors.

and PUPS! oohh.. i love'em puppies. dilat na ang mga mata ng tuta ni Plate. haha. Keyt, sayo na nga ang isa dun...

oh! i learned Poker today! had a fun road trip with my cousin para pampalamig ba. then visited her friend in Tiera Pura for fun. "Adaza" was super hospitable...we were offered ice cream then a friendly game of poker....hihi, it's like playing pusoy dos and bluff in one! fun fun fun! sa uulitin nga daw..

had a fun night too! late night! haha. chocolates! yum yum...na super milky. and the italian food was great. love the pasta.

haay...next week GRAD PRACTICE NA! rar!

atat nakong gumradweyt!

kumusta na kaya si Lique?

well, she's having the best and most restful vacation ever! AT HOME.
i know medyo weird pakinggan for some who feel like, ewk, "sa bahay lang ang bakasyon mo?"
well, kasi naman, dito samin ang place of solitude ko, away from the urban stress...hihi
aahh, i missed home so much..all the halabaloo of thesis has kept me from enjoying the warmth and quietness of our humble abode...plus the fact that i missed quality time with my pamilee...(the most important fersons in my layp, teynkyu, lol)

heniwei, before that....HOORAY THE SEM IS OFFICIALLY OVER!
i passed my thesis books wednesday last week, hihi. and oh, sweet sweet elation and bliss suddenly came over me after that....BWAHAHAHA! that explains the weirdness of the blog entry about feeling oh so i-wanna-hug-everyone thingy. you know? it's that feeling of accomplishment and pride...kinda like "OH MY GOSH, I CAN"T BELIEVE I'M FINALLY DONE AND ALL OF THIS IS OVER!" feeling...hehehe. well, not exactlly over kasi graduation day is still a few weeks away.

anyway,gusto ko na nung umuwi asap. kasi super namiss ko ang bahay...arf. kaso i couldn't muna...padaanin ko muna daw ang birthday ng aking "dear" lola...hehehe...and so by saturday, mama came and helped clean up the house para sa birthday ni lola the next day...ah, mmmhmm, the gist of the events that occured on April 6 shall be phlogged:

devouring the ever famous leonardo brownies.nyummy.

puppy caressing and tickling, hihi :p

and oh, the usual camwhoring...

and there was a lot of eating, chit chatting, PSPing, laughing etc... typical family reunion stuff.
too bad my sibs and my dad couldn't make it.

moving on, finally left for home on monday, pero shopping detour muna kami ng aking mudra para sa aking grad gown...sure na ito, sure na! ghad! we bought one for a very good deal kasi may maria clara type shawl na siya, may balintawak pa...both pinya husi and embroidered...just right for a two-day event that requires a filipiniana get-up. :D and if you know me(and especially my mom), the gown was cheap but pretty :D haha, we're total bargain hunters....

and so, arriving home was such a relief...diretso akong bed to watch dvd like there's no tomorrow! hehehe...

but i'm not a total bum...tuesday i accompanied my sister to school as she got her grades...this morning, i accompanied my brother naman para kunin niya ang card niya (segue, akala ng mga classmates niya eh magsyota kami, bwahahahaha! at mas younger looking pa daw ako! lol...ehem ehem)...and may i say that i'm proud of my sibs for having such good grades...wee! mana sa ate? hehehe, chorva!

hay, GOD is so good. kung di dahil sa Kanya, for His gifts of wisdom and strength, eh di ko matatapos ang thesis ko and i wouldn't have graced through college life courageously. ha! to God be the Glory! (and a certain professor has texted me a warm "Congratulations" that confirms "it") oh thank you Lord!

next week i'll be taking care of clearance, applying for the honor's society, and going to a job interview on friday...next next week, grad practice! i can't wait...huhu, ang tagal tagal pa ng grad...

and oh,i got a new cellphone, kanina lang :D grad gift ng tito art ni enok...straight from qatar...
nokia2630...cutie












PS. Jomie! loka loka! umattend ka ng grad! it's just a day! trust me, you'll be able to find a job asap. hay naku...nakakabaliw ka talaga. hamishu...
