May 6

Today was the last day of instruction. It was a rough semester for me due to my schedule at work, but I made it. It wasn't as smooth as last semester, but I actually developed a friendship with some of my classmates. So yeah. We didn't really do much today; we just went over O day last Saturday, as well as the upcoming finals next Friday.

I feel bittersweet because I'm certain that I won't be enrolling next sem. I have work as a priority, but I know I know I'll finish this programme eventually. The TIM school at UH-M has been nothing but wonderful to me. Since undergrad, I've been meeting the best in the business. I owe a lot to them. It's where a got my fundamental skills in hotel management. I'm honoured to have been taught and schooled by the very best!

Anyway, today was also Tita Ime's birthday. After class, I headed to the Spalding from George. There, a mini handahan was held (I really should have not stopped by at Paradise Palms to eat Saimin Burger Haha). There were trays of pancit, spaghetti, cakes and the like. I was just sad that some faculty didn't show up. The FIL Programme at UH is so different now. But I don't wanna get there. Hehe. Anyway, Happy Birthday Tita Ime. I've know you for almost 10 years now, and I just want to say that you've guided throughout my college life and now as your "pamangkin." Haha. I wish you more birthdays to come :)

After attending her celebration, Joelyn called me to go gallivanting at the mall to kill time before her 4:30 review session. She bought a dress, while I dragged her to high end salon (where kuya gets his haircut) where I bought a Shu Uemura hair wax. It's amazing at how time flew by because before we knew it, it was already 4ish. . .so we headed back to UH.

She went ahead and attended her reviewer session all the way at the BioMed building, while I went back to Spalding at the FIL faculty's office. There, I ate some more pancit and made kwento's with Tita Ime, Tita Letty, and JB, tita Letty's son who is studying political science.

I met with Joelyn again after reviewer. Siguro, mga around 6pm na yon. Left the office, and headed back to Ala Moana to do some toiletry shopping at Wal Mart and snack at Starbucks. Went home shortly after, and am currently complaining about my tired feet.

It was a good day! :-)
