Untitled Upbeat Post!
I’ve been straddling between exhilaration and exhaustion lately. I’ve written about the things that stress me on the previous post, so here’s a look at what I’ve been upbeat about.
* My new Nintendo 3DS! I almost forgot how much of a Nintendo fanboy I am until I went out to get this last week! Been playing Super Mario 3D Land and Pokemon Black and I have to deliberately limit myself from playing too much so I could still go attend to other stuff, haha!
* Weekend cooking adventures. Over the past few weekends, I’ve been whipping up dishes from the big kitchen at my Manila residence. The stuff I’ve made thus far include: tuna and mountain rice meatballs, sugar-free garlicky chicken longganisa, flatbread lasagna, herbed tuna spinach fettuccine, sweet and savory roast chicken, and herb-roasted liempo. For desserts, I’ve made custard bread pudding and Ferrero ice cream.
I love to cook! And the best thing about cooking in Manila (as opposed to in Eastwood) is that somebody’s there to clean the mess up after me :D
* Panel season at the Ateneo. While it does steal my leisurely Saturdays away, I’ve always welcomed paneling for student projects, as I get to meet and encounter brilliant minds both from the student groups and my co-panelists. Panel season started last Saturday with LS127 (Business Plan Strategy Implementation), and will continue weekly for Strategic Audit, ComTech Thesis, Marketing, and Opman.
* IBM’s stock price has been surging! A big portion of my forced personal savings goes to the discounted purchase of IBM shares, so its good performance at the stock market is sheer good news for me.
* I don’t want to jinx anything by writing about it further, but suffice it to say that something else is going well in my life — and just thinking about this makes me smile. Hope it goes well. :)
