After school today...two of my classmates, Pao and Noel, hitched a ride with me going to Glorietta ...during the drive we were talking about the upcoming exams...school...our classmates...ourselves, etc...its funny on how they reacted when i told them im gay...

me: oh yea...im gay..
pao: gay? yea, yea!! gay ka!! lagi naman eh..
noel: oo nga! you're always happy!
me: no, dude!! im GAY!
pao: gay as in happy, diba?
me: hindi!!! i like girls!!
noel: kaw pala yung chickboy sa 'tin eh!!
me: chickboy?
pao: kasi di ka naman yung tipong gay eh...pwede ka para sa chicks...pwede rin sa mga boys!!
noel: kaya chickboy ka!
me: ahahahahahaha!!

i couldnt stop laughing, i swear!! those two are always so funny!! ^___~

so...if you've noticed...im pretty much open to the whole conversation of my sexuality! (not just to my own family though.. >___<) and ive noticed...compared from before...people nowadays are far more open and accepting to the whole idea....im glad!! ^__^V

anyways...aside from that...i finally got my knife set engraved with my name already!! wuhooo!!! ^_________^ i always worry someone might steal it whenever i bring it to school and leave it even for just a minute...but now it has my name on it!! bwahahahahaha!! though im pretty sure i cant be sure with just that....still have to take good care of it. ^__~

i dont have school tomorrow and wednesday...as mentioned before...they gave us 2 days off to study for the exams this thursday and friday...so...im off to study now!!

wish me luck guys!!! ^______^V

surprise!!

me and miren planned a surprise party for k8...which was held yesterday at italiannis!! ^___^ im glad she enjoyed the night!

the apprentice begins her training!!!

for the past week i've been standing in the kitchen for more than 5 hours with only 2 breaks that last for only 10-15 mins!!!! the chefs (my teachers) always tells the class that the career we have chosen is not an easy one but nevetheless if one has the passion and perseverance for it...the rewards are always fulfilling...and i wasnt really sure what they always meant by that till we worked in the kitchen!! it IS HARD!!! standing while wearing those painful kitchen clogs for more than 5 hours kills!!! ive never felt so exhausted in my life (aside from ACP)...but last thursday and friday...we cooked our own lunches!!! it was so goood!! and i can say that those 5 long painful hours are worth it!!! im so happy!! ^___^ next week, tuesday and wednesday, i dont have any classes for preparation for my preliminary exams which were moved to thursday and friday..to give 2 days-off just to study for exams must mean its really hard!! so i'll do my best and study!! just because i get tired and exhausted wouldnt mean im giving up so easily.....things are just starting...and i havent even tasted anything yet!!! ^___~

im actually cooking for my family this sunday!! im going to make the Pork Emincer with Button Mushrooms.. ^__^V right now, im waiting for my Brown Beef Stock to be ready which will be used for tomorrow's lunch....i'll let you guys how it turns out...this would be my first attempt...well ive cooked for my family alot of times already...but this would be my first time cooking something which ive learned from school...so im nervous and i hope it turns out alright!!

here are some pictures taken last week...

Chef Uli always have time to take pictures with the class no matter how busy he is with the stocks!! LOL! ^___^
