Strong words

"Ano ba yan! Ang tanda niyo na ah, nag gaganyan pa kayo!"

"Deaf-mute yan eh"

"Say my name, Say my name"

"Nauutot ako!"

"Sorry, we're fully booked"

"Miss, why are you fat?"

"Na-ppressure ka ba?"

I know that there are so many quotable quotes, but thanks to the isoprophyl alcohol, my memory is a bit fuzzy.

Grape Champagne anyone? ;o)

Giving off bad vibes

Why are there people who, when presented with a great opportunity, find someway to shoot it down? Or you spend the whole time complaining, and saying how YOU would go about it, what YOU would do, what YOU would change, and how things would be so much better if YOU were the one running the show. You're always looking for the mistakes in everything. Why are you so pessimistic? You're not only ruining your day, you're also ruining mine and those around you.

Why? Why? WHY?

What kind of pyschological damage have you sustained to refuse to see the good?

I hate people like that. They suck out all the happiness in a room until it's dark and dank and smells weird.

What do you do with people afflicted with "defeatist syndrome"? Can we all just chuck them on to a deserted island somewhere and forget about them?

Melting Pot Aug 17,2006

I won't remember the stress

or the frantic search for recipes to be approved for the menu

or trying to get certain people to get off their asses and do their jobs

or running out of ingredients, utensils, and styro containers

or having to run out and buy the containers

or forgetting about the flyers

or worrying that we had too little or too much of one thing or another

or hoping that we'd at least win one award, but knowing that we won't

or that i, being a silly girl chose form over function (in other words: heels over flats) and had to endure consequences of my ridiculous choice.

or that we actually lost money by participating


What I will remember is that

we got through the whole thing

and that sassi and grace came to support it

and a lot of people liked what we cooked

and most of my classmates did more than what was expected of them

and we were still laughing and joking around by the end of the day

and how great everybody was

and most of all...... a wave that could mean a thousand different things or simply nothing

Just Breathe

I keep reminding myself to do just that. There are million and one things running through my head at any given time of the day, and it's driving me crazy!

Have our recipes been approved?

How about funds? How much from each student?

Who's going to do the marketing?

Who's house?

Omg! We need a car!

Schedule! I need to make a schedule.

Who's bringing what?

They want to change the recipes?! Ano ba?! Kayo nalang kaya maghanap! They complain about what you present to them, pero wala namang effort on their part.

What if nobody buys any of our food? and by the end of the day we get stuck with all that chicken? Ahhhh! i don't want to think about it!

What else do we need? Think! Goddamit! Think like your life depended on it.

Why are there people who will try and oppose everything you try to do? Bakit laging may pasaway?!

Why are there people who tell you what to do, even though you're already doing it? Do they think na hindi mo naisip yun?

Bakit ang mga tao, ang daming reklamo?

This is a great opportunity! A learning experience. Make the most out of it. Why waste your time and energy complaining?

I'll be glad when this is over, but at the same time i'll miss the chaos that came with it.

Which is really weird...

Add to the million things my insecurities...

Am i doing enough? too much? too little?

Kulang ba ako sa force? masyadong lax?

What am i doing wrong? Am i doing anything right?

Am i even really a leader? Would the class have been better off with someone else in my place? do i even have any leadership skills?!

What do they think?- this one is complicated. sometimes you're just better off not knowing. but i want to know! i need feed back!

I'm forgetting something....I know it. I just know it.....what?

Breathe in....breathe out....in...out.....
