That's an actual school!!! yup, formerly CRC, is UA and P, which i visited today. well actually i just had lunch with my highschool friends in Pearl drive, but still i can consider it visiting the school.

As I commuted and was dropped off infront of Richmonde, I walked to Pearl drive, and met my friends. wow, first of all, wearing Havs(havaianas) made me and another friend from Benilde, out of place. The school had a dress code. Much like the one we are about to have this coming term. Wow, I cant survive without my FlipFlops! 3 years of wearing them almost everyday, then all of a sudden..these rules would change my 'look'.

Back to today, being obvious visitors wearing Havs, we grab something to eat at ofcourse, THE VENUE. what i've been missing in Taft!!! our favorite lunch place when we were Frosh (maarte, big spenders, and naive) and didnt know better (AGNO, DUH! shoutout to Ate Rica's Bacsi!)

Catching up with friends always brings the good in me. Most of them were also Communication students of UAP , but it was more of management adver kind of comm. I wondered why they didnt have any production based courses, but I kinda liked that they didnt cos then i would have more competition in the field. Eavesdropping into UAP comm students' world, i realized they also had similar 'lecture' based classes like ethics in comm (which we took LAST YEAR).

off topic: i am so glad i am done with my majors. i grew a lot, learned a lot, and experienced a lot in Org Comm. words cannot express.

going back....today, i realized that i would not exchange my college life (even if there were more negatives than i expected) for something different (like going to UAP to study, which is only 15 minutes away by one ride).
even if i had to commute so far,(COMMUTE takes away 2 hours of my daily life. that's 10 hrs a week, since i had m-f classes, ONE class per day, thanks to acad assistant!) the Org Comm program in DLSU is very very very fulfilling.

Being about a day or two days old, the Tokyo Tokyo beside DLS-CSB (formerly Charlie Brown, formerly Chowking) was expected to be filled with hungry and impatient students and other customers. Entering the store at around 7pm, my friends and I expected a long line, and a long wait for the food service. This was true, but acceptable.
30 minutes later we ask for a follow-up.
10 more minutes, ditto.
4 more minutes, ditto.
1 more minute, i began waving the number for serving food above my head for the waiters to see.
the manager approaches and 2 other waiters to again follow up.
after 5 minutes, the food came.

eat eat eat.

RED meat. my order was raw!!!
another waiter passed and i told him i wanted a new one.

they replaced it well, quickly and hot.

eat eat.

my friend wanted more rice. so vito cruz branch had P5 per order of rice because it was 'thai' rice. so he paid.

rice came, it was WET as hell. (raw again)

new rice came, wet again. strike 3.

manager came making excuses, i said he should have told us that excuse in the first place so i would have waited patiently. they gave us 1 free rice.
rice was still wet. had them changed already. but it was eat-able, so we managed.

eat eat eat,
after 10 minutes, manager apologizes with free DESSERT. he says that he wishes us to come back, he apologized because it was their first day (a lie, it was their second or third) blah blah.

im not sure if we're ever going back. we werent even full from the price we paid. maybe when a new food business will open at that unlucky place.well, i might have already graduated then!

daily encounters of the first kind
