Lunch at Omakase

Cheers to that lunch day at Omakase. Stress and long due unhappiness were shooed away!

Kakiage

American Dream

Tofu rolls in beef strips

Philadelphia rolls (most favorite ever!)

A sumptuous treat that left me full until late dinner time. But really, I don't care how full I am as long as I pig out at Omakase - Ayala triangle branch. They have the best service and yummiest food ever. A slight hello to "Chi", please give your simplest smile while asking us for our orders, alright?

Hello to YELLOW nails!

After the sad ending of 2011 UAAPCDC, I was a bit depressed and I really wanted to go out with my friends. But due to time and budget constraints, I decided to pain my nails YELLOW.

Rock on UST! :)

2011 UAAP Cheerdance Competition

It's been a bad UAAP cheerdance year for UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe as they finished 4th this year.
Just when you thought na kayang bawiin ng Salinggawi ang korona after 4 year title drought during UST's 400th year celebration, dun pa napunta sa 4th place. I actually hate number 4 now! :(


I am all HANDS and FEET up for UP Pep Squad. They really nailed it this year and proved that they deserve to defend their title from last year's championship. FEU actually did, "so-so" hence it's fine to be placed 3rd but for UST having missed out on the top 3? That is not acceptable.


Okay, bitter na kung bitter.. but UST Salinggawi should be given the place rightful for their performance. I mean, it's not really the "WOW" and "OMG!" factor of performance, but compared to other teams.. they should have placed 2nd or 3rd. NOT 4TH!



Infairness to UST's flawless and clean routines, amazing stunts and props - they are still my favorite! And in order to give myself enough reason and justice for this blog post / rant of mine, I made a bit of analysis on why UST landed on the 4th spot and why they should have been on the top 3 instead.
Reasons why you just have to give UST the 2nd or the 1st place:-clean routines-crisp stunts and uniform movements (walang naliligaw or nagkakagulo during their performance)- cool props - the kind of props none of the other universities have used during the past years.- Who would have thought they can bring in UST's Main Building inside Araneta Coliseum? Plus the dominican priest at the end part was cool and fun as well!- Energetic cheerdancers, all out performance.NOTE: Please be guided that these reasons are the same reasons why UST should be in the position of the team who placed 2nd this year.
Reasons wht UST didn't win:-maybe the judges are a bit racist? Because of the cross thing in front of UST's costume - the judges might have some issues about it. Take note that the chosen judges are not here from the Philippines. If I'm not mistaken, most of them are from other countries who excelled in the field of gymnastics, dancing and the likes. (JUST AN OPINION)- UST's performance was honestly boring during the beginning. I myself was like "yun na yun?" but they nailed it on the end part.- Maybe the judges didn't get what the 400 at the end part meant. They should have researched or something. Judges might be a bit lost? (JUST AN OPINION)- The chosen music was not really cool. I don't like the music at all.- Salinggawi's movements are a bit slow. Not unlike UP which has the aggressiveness and "oomph" factor from beginning til end.
So okay, I'm having an open mind here and I can say that UST did a far better job last year than this year. I felt like they performed quite safely today - the aggressiveness and fast movements were all gone. How I wish the same old Salinggawi troupe will come back next year. The years where Non-Stop ice cream was still the sponsor, the years were Espana always has the glory. 
But with all these, UST should have won at least a place. I'm not contesting on UP's capabilities. They deserve to be on top. But for others, I just can't really say enough!

Color Me Badd / All 4 One Concert

I know this is suuper late, but still worth to blog!


Born in between late 80's and early 90's, I can say that I know some songs that surfaced the music era way back my childhood. All I can remember is that my Mom used to turn on our radio cassette and switch to her favorite FM radios station where all the latest (and maybe some of her favorite songs that time) are playing.  One thing I'm sure of is that songs those years are mellow with a pinch of pop and fast beat. Now kasi, mostly songs are not that good to listen too. Most of them are just plain noise.


Last wednesday, September 7, is the concert of Color Me Badd and All 4 One at Araneta Coliseum. I'm not really a fan of them because in the first place I;m not familiar with their bands but I know quite well some of their songs most especially those that really topped the music charts.

They did some tribute to Michael Jackson as well. :) But still, MJ will do the best performance ever! 

We did something really funny during the concert. Due to some boring moments brought about by the fact that we don't really know some of their songs, we matched their faces with the music videos that we're shown on the wide screen at the back - meaning music videos way back 90's, the era where girls are all screaming for them. Some of them REALLY changed A LOT -  in terms of weight and appearance but their voices still remained the same.


And this is us. ENJOYING! :)
