SNICKER-DOODLE

I got my first taste of this delicacy when I attended the Seminar on LOVE & COMMITMENT, as per invitation by my good friend Edz. At first, you'd think its an ordinary pancake or the native palitaw [grind rice cake, sort of] topped with cinnamon powder. But this one is more like a baked biscuit.

Anyways, we had a short meeting [Shane, Edz and I] for the upcoming Alumni Homecoming of our dear Alma Mater. Edz served some coffee and that started a long way of our conversation. From the arrival of Shane's vacation from an Asian Escapade, matters of the heart follows 'cause of his post on his Facebook account, [hmmm...well, on my part, can't relate too much excitement since we're not in good terms right now with my honey but surely i miss him so much..], work loads, relevant stuffs and this blogger and Edz were in total excitement when Shane mentioned we can set foot to Asia or have it call an Asian Escapade too, at a very affortable cost once the right time calls for it. Weeee!!!! He's got some ideas kasi, wait niyo na lang, ok? I'll be posting some pictures, of course! hehehe :B

And...the main highlight of the meet up was the upcoming graduation ball. We still have few more weeks to prepare and we do hope everything will take place as planned. We are crossing our fingers.

Anyways, Shane and Edz will meet up with the School President on Wednesday to talk on important matters. Can't go with them since we're a bit busy at school setting up for the inspection which will be conducted by TESDA. Our school applied for the accreditation as Assessment Center for Health Care Services NC 2, Computer Hardware Servicing NC 2, Bartending NC 2 and other competencies from the HRM Department. Hopefully, approval shall be granted. We'll pray for that.

Thanks, guys! It was a good coffee-bonding. A single cup or should I say MUG [hehe] of coffee goes a long way of chitchat and exploration of brilliant ideas and visions. Looking forward to the fulfillment of the group's plans. Thank you for the SNICKER-DOODLE, Edz. As promised, I extended my gratitude on my Facebook account. Pres, thanks for taking me home :)

Goodnight :)

competent!

First batch were ready at 8am..the earlier, the better ikanga. The Assessment venue was ready. They have prepared an array of equipments which we will utilize during the Demonstration. Nerve-wracking, yes, especially for those first-timers. This is my 2nd Competency Assessment, the first one was in Health Care Services NC 2 and hopefully, this one, in FBS [Food and Beverage Services] NC 2.

Most of us were holding on their notes, murmuring, some opts their quiet time under the mango and santol tree while some gathered themselves as a group sharing thoughts and ideas.

When the Assessor arrived, Representative from TESDA and School personnel followed. Then, started the introduction, orientation and began filling up some paperworks.

Pass 11am, half of the group took the written exam, including myself and the other half started demonstrating. It was around this time that I noticed something is hanging on my foot only to find out that my shoes' sole is beginning to separate from its heels. Ewww..embarassing, looked for something that could paste on it but to no avail. Nobody could actually help me. Gosh, I still haven't performed and my shoes bothers me. Its a good thing I brought a pair of sandals so I changed my footwear for the meantime.

12:06nn..Lunch time, I went along with Aileen and some of my classmates to have lunch at Mang Inasal, which just opened few days ago. While waiting, I bought a Super Glue at CWC. There, worry no more. I just had to fix it at school.

Before our names were called, my shoes were on its stable condition (or so i thought). I was confident demonstrating when in the middle of the scenario, I heard a terrible sound somewhere. Shaks, my shoes is at it again. Imagine you were like wearing a wooden shoes. I wanna laugh and scream 'cause of undue embarassment but I manage my composure, I manage to walk slowly. Darn! My partner was keeping herself from bursting with laughter. Me, too.

Right after the assessment, we took pictures as remembrance while waiting for the release of our allowance. And then, Aiza Mae, Jeanalyn, Kring2x, Mavic, Jeanebel had a tummy-filling meal at Chicken Ati-Atihan. Waiting for our meals to be served, Junar, Knowles, Herwin and some friends joined us. We were the coolest group. Our table was filled with so much fun and laughter. I will be missing these faces, my new group of friends, my endearing classmates.

Meet up with Chem before going home. Related to her what we've been through. It will be their turn tomorrow. Break a leg, chem!

Got home around 10:35pm, tired and exhausted but I won't let this day pass without having to post what we have accomplished today so I turned on my PC, still on its malfunctioning color of the monitor. My friends suggested to have this replaced. Maybe, soon. As the budget calls for it.

Thank God for this day. I could now sleep well. Goodnight, everyone! ?:-)

long yet productive day

"Home", uttered myself when i stepped on the premises of our place.  I missed everybody, my sister, our dogs, people back home.  As if I was away for days though its just quite a while. 

Our pets were in their houses already but they saw me entered the gate. 

Today is the last day of our 1 week TM-AM Seminar conducted by TESDA. Our Assessment day for the two methodology course, as well. Unfortunately, due to limited Assessors who will supposedly conduct the assessment for the day, only 4 of us were assessed. Three from UM-Matina and me from PITS, each from different trade areas.  Luckily, we all passed. Thank you to Engr. S.C., the person who assessed us. 

When asked to describe how did it go, i said "nerve-wracking". My co-participants patiently waited for their turns but since the time runs in a flash, they cut-off the time. The 2 assessors still has to go back to their work, training another batch of participants for the seminar. I'd say their job is very demanding, but as they say they love what they were doing and its their passion: TEACHING. Thumbs up to them. I admire their dedication. 

We were told the assessment will continue on the 22nd and 23rd at KORPHIL, somewhere in Tibungco. The group decided that we should all meet up infront of the ADDU. Text brigade na lang. I have learned a lot from these people. Was able to find new acquaintance, as well. 

As a photo fanatic, I won't end the day without pictures so our group has remembrance. Ma'am Cheery informed us they would post some videos in YOUTUBE..char! She has brought her Digicam on Day 5. I had all of them signed my manual and was flooded with signatories and contact informations, the future  assessors of TESDA. [chuckles]

Pass 4pm, we all parted ways. Ma'am Anne and I took a tricykad [a bicycle with a side car] hanggang kanto ng Magsaysay, her going to Joji Ilagan and I going to NCCC to meet up with Reina, I shared with her the good news while enjoying our snack. 

My day isn't over yet, I received a text from Lalai inviting me over for a dinner but the message was sent by Romy. So, I replied asking where she was and the occassion they were celebrating. Oh, I see it was a welcome back party of Marianne pala, Lalai's younger sister who worked overseas. 

After buying some home stuffs, we meet up with Ate Shine and Malyn. My friends way back in College. Haven't seen these fellas for a long time. Goodluck sa June NLE!! 

On our way to Ecoland Terminal, tawa kami ng tawa sa jeep. Si Malyn kasi eh, salamat ngapala sa libreng pamasahe ha? hehehe.  Gimingaw jud ko sa akong friends ai. 

Ate shine, reina and I took an airconditioned Holiday Bus going home. Sa pinakadulo kami at don din nilagay ang kahon ng electric fan na binili ni Reina sa NCCC. May pagkakaskasero din ang driver, para kaming nakasakay sa rollercoaster. Murag ning untol na uban pasahero sa kakusog sa iyang padagan ba. 

At one point, kami pud sa likod ning untol na pud apil ang box sa electric fan intawon natabunan kadali ang beauty ni Reina. Yes, mga friendster nadat ugan jud siya. Nakuyawan gud mi ni ate shine. May na lang nasalo namo wala nilahos sa bata na natulog sa ubos namo. Amaw jud nga driver ba, nangatawa na lang gud mi pagkahuman. 

Gisungog pa jud mi sa driver pag naog namo. Pagka na lang jud. Diretso na din ako kina Lalai, where dinner is waiting for me. hehehe.  I hold back for a while outside texting Lalai then went inside. So glad to see Romz. Greeted everybody pati na si Marianne. 

10pm..Thanks for the dinner, lai! Also, I had a good chat with my long time no see friend Romy, a College buddy. Mouli pa gud ni siya ug Padada taz duty pa siya ug 7am ugma. Ingatz kaayo!!

 

11pm..after watching CSI: NY, took a half bath.  How refreshing! 

There, turned on the PC, waited for the display to occur and began tapping the keyboards again relating my experiences the whole day.

1:30am as i check our wall clock. I just yawned. My body wants to rest na, as my mind follows. My eyes closed a bit, it's bye bye time for the meantime, dear friends.

goodnight!!
