My alma mater, UA&P, had its Grand Alumni Homecoming the other night. I had to be there as I had happy memories there both as a student and as an employee. It was also a great time to catch-up with friends! I had a fabulous time and I will surely be back.
Stability Eats
Yesterday, I experienced driving through really strong rains. By the time I parked my car, I was starving! I decided to eat breakfast at Jollibee while waiting for the P2P bus to take me to Ortigas.
I enjoyed my “stopover” meal of breakfast burger steak and coffee.
I also bought hot calamansi juice to sip while inside the P2P bus.
I got some work done in the morning, then I went to UA&P to check out the new caf inside MPC.
I had chicken siomai with java rice.
And I also had my favorite Chillers fresh avocado shake!
For early dinner, I checked out Ça Va at Podium. It’s a newly opened creperie and floral atelier.
I invited Anne, the lady behind 11*11 Handmade to join me! I really enjoyed catching up with her over good food and coffee.
My sriracha meatballs rice bowl was amazing! It went well with my flat white.
Food is my love language, but I prefer to eat it rather than cook it! I find joy in comfort food and coffee. I know that even when the skies are not blue, I will still be okay for as long as I know what truly makes me happy.
32!
I turned 32 yesterday! I started my day by crocheting...
...getting work done...
...and hearing mass at my alma mater’s beautiful chapel.
For lunch, I had this chocolate cake and latte from Starbucks.
I was able to spend lunch time with Karen, my friend from work.
I also received a small cake from the office.
I managed to crochet a bit in school before taking the train back north.
Then, I had this delicious violet bread for snack.
And before I knew it, it was time for dinner with my family and friends at Botejyu!
I had an amazing day and it was fabulous to spend it with the people I love and the food I enjoy. Here’s to more beautiful memories as I embark on my 32nd year of life!
Determined to Succeed
I started work the other day, and I was warmly welcomed by the team. I am ecstatic to work with a motivated workforce, and I can’t wait to grow along with the company.
I started my day with prayer and thanksgiving at UA&P’s chapel.
I had breakfast, got coffee, and crocheted while waiting for my workday to begin.
It was inspiring to see this on our office wall.
And it was also bittersweet to see my uni and former office outside our window.
I am very excited to begin hustling with everyone, and I am happy to belong to a young, dynamic, and helpful group. I will surely be integrated here in no time, and of course, I will keep you posted here as I speakoutsam in the office!
Thankful for UA&P
Yesterday, I visited my alma mater, UA&P. I was in the area to settle documents with my new job.
But first, I needed to say hello to my uni and former office.
I was happy to find more PC workstations at the CAS library.
I crossed the street for some Food Channel shawarma rice.
It’s still delicious!
I dropped by my former office, the School of Sciences and Engineering.
After chatting with old friends and sipping UA&P’s famous milk tea (which is still yummy!), I went to the mall to buy myself a new watch strap.
I rewarded myself for a year of work and blogging.
As I begin a new chapter with my new employer, I look forward to more rewarding experiences.
I ended my day with more adulting at a nearby hospital, with a charming chapel.
I prayed for better days ahead, and more opportunities to spread my wings. I am thankful for UA&P, and it’s time to apply all that I have learned both as a graduate and a former employee.
It’s time for me to speakoutsam and rock on!
