celebrating with mer-nel's

Yesterday was my dad's 56th birthday so we had a lot of food in the house last night. And while I decided not to eat rice, I don't think I should be proud of having achieved that. 'Cause even though I did not have rice, I did eat A LOT. I had pancit canton + 2 heaping bowls of lomi + clubhouse sandwich(ES) + french fries + chocolates for dinner. Yeah. Glutton me struck again. Boooooo.

Oh, and to celebrate, my sister (who studies in UPLB) brought home a chocolate cake from Mer-Nel's. Mer-Nel's is popular for their heart-shaped choco cakes. I had a small slice and found that it was good but too sweet for my taste. (Pero mahina ang tolerance ko sa sweets so baka ako lang ung natatamisan masyado.) Anyway, Happy Birthday, Tata! :) (I call my dad Tata but my sister calls him Papa - thus the greeting on the cake. I think my brother calls him Tata too. Weird but that's just the way it is. We all - me, sis and bro - call our mom Mama, though.)

Gaaaah. I just realized that I missed today's episode of Junior Masterchef Pinoy Edition. I saw just the last few minutes of the show. :( (Mukhang sosyal ang mga batang contestants ha. :P) I was soooo looking forward to watching it because I loved JMC Australia. I wonder where I can stream this online...

Hmmm...

 **off to find a site that streams JMC Pinoy Edition. buhbyeeeee.~**

MOVE

And just when I've been patting myself on the back for not being travel-crazy lately, I find this video.

Gaaaaah! Must. Travel. Soon.

I have been busy as a bee lately. Pero ngaun pa talaga ko nagka-time magpost. haha. :) I thought my schedule will be less hectic now that my sister's 18th birthday is over and done with but I'm left with more things to do now.

1. I've been editing the pictures I took on her birthday. Ako ang official photographer-photographeran dahil nag-deal kami ni Mama na hahatian niya ko sa bayad ng DSLR basta ako ang magpipicture sa debut. Eh di sige! I will not say no to minimizing my expenses. Haha. But I do hope the amateur pictures that I took are good enough. :P

Anyway, I was planning on checking out the photo printing shops at Hidalgo to look for places where I could have the pictures printed on a photo book. But then I found a deal online offering a 6x8 hard bound photobook for only Php495.00 - delivery included. And they have a software that you can download for easier photobook creation and customization.The offer is still on at Metrodeal so go ahead and grab a voucher if you want one too. :) Sana lang maayos ang printing service nila. This is the first time that I'm trying their services out.

2. My housemates and I had to look for a new house because our current house is gonna be renovated by the end of this month and we have no idea what they're planning to do with the house. The renovation actually seems to be demolition of the current house and building rooms for rent instead. So we just decided to look for a new place. AND we found a GREAT place yesterday! Happy, happy. :) We're moving out on Sunday and we are just sooooo excited. :)

3. Because of the debut preparations and all the drinking I did last month, I have put off studying for my exams. Patay! Now I really have to study, study, STUDY! I have barely 2 months left to take my exams! :/

4. And because I've spent too much for my birthday, I need some moolah. I applied for a part time job around a couple of weeks back and I'm to go through a certification in 2 days! Wish me luck. I'm in bad need money right now. :P
