Marc Anthony&J.Lo - No me Ames : Dime porque lloras/De felicidad/Y porque te ahogas/Por la soledad/Di porque me tomas/Fuerte, asi mis manos/Y tus pensamientos/Te van llevando/Yo te quiero tanto/Y porque sera/Loco testarudo/No los dudes mas/Aunque en el futuro/Haya un muro enorme/Yo no tengo miedo/Quiero enamorarme/No me ames, porque pienses
Que parezco diferente/Tu no piensas que es lo justo/Ver pasar el tiempo juntos/No me ames, que comprendo/La mentira que seria/Si tu amor no merezco/No me ames, mas quedate otro dia/No me ames, porque estoy perdido/Porque cambie el mundo, porque es el destino/Porque no se puede, somos un espejo/Y tu asi serias lo que yo de mi reflejo/No me ames, para estar muriendo/Dentro de una guerra llena de arrepentimientos/No me ames, para estar en tierra, quiero alzar el vuelo/Con tu gran amor por azul del cielo

Gosh! I missed doing this! hahah! I've been wanting to post a lot of things (as what I always say...) Well well, even though i am soooo freakin' sleepy and tired right now... im gonna do this nOw... 'cause i got a lot of things on my mind....

May 3-8, 2004
I'm gonna start off with what has been happening with my practicum... Well that's what's practically I'm doin' all these time...
I started last week (may 3) and I was assigned to be a patissier (pastry chef), at the pastry kitchen (wherelse?)... The first time I entered Century park...I was having cold feet... a really cold one...heheh. It's a new thing for me, and I dunno how the peeps there are going to treat me... I was looking for the kitchen...geez, i didn't know where it was...i can't know everything in just one day ya know! hahah! and when I found where the kitchen was, there I was soooo damn nervous... I entered, and asked the first man I saw there... His name is Chef Charlie. I didn't know his name until the next day..hahah. Because he was joking and fooling me...he said that it was also his first time there just like me! Then he introduced me to Kuya Mike, who first told me the stuff the I should do... I was doin' pretty well until I got woozy...so embarrassing! I hate it! hahah. They told me to rest for a while to recover... then after 15mins. or so, I went on to work again... Man, time flies so SLoW when you want to go home already! I was feeling really odd, because I'm the only girl in the kitchen! Yeah all the peeps who work in the pastry section are men! hahah. Isn't that cool? (",) Then I met King, he was nice and told me other stuff about the kitchen, and tagged me along the buffet section, and stuff like that. Then I was watching Chef Charlie making a cake... it looked really neat! I didn't want to leave but it was already lunch time... instead of leaving right away for lunch, I took a break by 12:30... I was headin' to the cafeteria when Criselle called me up... She was accepted too at Century park, but she had an interview that day at manila peninsula, so she was goin' to Century by 1pm... She told me stuff about the interview and she was really tensed and pressured... same as for my first day! hahah! I told her stuff about what's been goin' on with meeh...that I'm the only female working in the kitchen! hahah... And I still haven't had my lunch! And then she told me she neither has she... We met by almost 1pm at century and told each other that we didn't really feel like eating lunch...so we just talked and talked until 1pm... I was already feelin' really tired during half of the day... You can't sit in the kitchen while workin', so that's really tiring! I was not really doin' a lot of things, but I was really tired because I was standing the whole time... When I went back to the kitchen, I met a couple of new peeps there... there was a girl there but we didn't talked 'til later that afternoon..hahah. I was shy to talk to her... but then she approached me so we started chattin'.. Her name was Ivy and she's from St. Scholastica..a practicumer too. She's really nice, and I found it cool 'cause I won't be the only girl anymore... 'til Wednesday. 'Cause that's her last day at Century... Finally the day ended and I had to go home...Yipee! hahah... I was so freakin' tired man... never been that tired before... Felt like my legs needed to be amputated! Criselle and I went to Seattle's Best to have sumthin' to eat first before we went home... Chatted a lott.... Then went home... Man I was really tired....Went straight to bed.... Woke up by 9pm to eat and watch tv... Surfed the net 'til 1.30 am... hahah... and I still had to work the next day!
Okay, the next day was better because aside from me and Ivy, there was an addition to the kitchen and she's a girl too! She's older, and a regular at the hotel. Her name is Chef Lil... She's really nice, and outspoken, and loud, and tackless, but nevertheless, she's really nice! The pastry section is the happiest place in the whole kitchen department because all the peeps there are sooo wacky, especially Kuya Mike, he brings the laughter there all the time. So I was already havin' a blast already! But I was feelin' sad because Criselle had to leave me...She's leavin' Century for Manila Pen, she got accepted there... When I was about to go home and meet Criselle first, she pointed at someone and I looked at who it was... It was Karlie!!!! She said that she was goin' to work at Century too! I was happy 'cause I wasn't gonna be alone after all! Hahah! Well we already met a lot of cool new people, but I think it's different when you're with someone you really know...ayt? hahah. We went home after that...
The next day was Wednesday, and Karlie and I met at the lrt station so we can go together at work...that'll be our routine every morning...we'll go Century together every single day..hahah. She was really nervous about working for the first time... then I remembered myself being like that last Monday... I just told her to relax 'cause it's really gonna be okay... I showed here where she was supposed to work... I told her to "jia you" (it's a chinese thing.) And told her to go to the pastry kitchen if she's not doin' anything... I was already at ease at the pastry kitchen...happy! hahah. But it was Ivy's last day so I was a bit sad 'cause I'm gonna be "alone" again in the kitchen... a bit nervous tooh, I just dunno why... hahah. During the break time, karlie and I had lunch together, and she was complaining about working a lot in the kitchen and she didn't like it...heheh. Went to the locker room and took a rest there... Went back to work...so on and so forth....
Thursday was another day for us...I introduced Karlie to my new found friends, and she was having fun with their company...and she was also having a blast in her work because she met some nice peeps and she was able to eat a lot of food! She met the peeps in the pastry tooh... That's what's been happening 'til Saturday, our last day in the department we got assigned to...

We didn't have work on May 11, Monday, because it was election day... woohoo! an extension of my weekend! Election here is quite complicated... Whole family went out to vote then went home right away to rest... Brotha' and I did nothin' but eat the pretty tiramisu cake I bought at Century hotel for mother's day... Chef Dario was nice enough to "overdecorate" the cake with a lot of yummy stuff! Yey! hahah.

May 12-16, 2004
This day was pretty much a new thing for us... new department to work at.. I was assigned to be on the housekeeping dept.... Karlie was on the laundry dept... we both wore black slacks and white shirt... a lot more body fitting than our chef's attire...But I was supposed to wear a uniform..it's a polo for housekeeping. Geez, they didn't have my size! It seems like im wearing a pea coat!! hahah. I felt funny, peeps are staring at me because of my big uniform! heheh. I was assigned to be with Kuya Donald Serafico... He was nice! He's assigned at the top of the Century, where the suite rooms are, and where Lucio Tan and Julio Tan's rooms are... Lucio Tan owns The Century Park hotel and is just one of the Billionaires in the country... Isn't that cool?! I had access to their rooms! I've entered the Presidential Suite tooh! I was having a blast there! Wee! hahah! Kuya Donald is a Christian... and he also got to share his stories with his life with God... I was interested to listen, and I also had my share of stories... I was a bit enlightened, and I wanted to know more about God.... Well about our work... I was pretty much just dusting the place... which was a really easy job...heheh. Kuya Donald knows how to play the piano and so he played in the Presidential suite... and I was singing... I loved the sound of the piano, and I loved the experience of singing! hahah. During break time, I told my friends where I was assigned, and they were surprised! Housekeeping department has the most breaks ever! Coffee break in the morning and afternoon, and lunch...hahah. So when it was my break time, I paid a visit in the kitchen... They missed me! hahah... I was able to eat there, because they were still nice to give me food! hahah! went back to work, and I was still having a blast!
Housekeeping was from 8-4pm... I wanted to stay 'til 5 so I spent the last hour on the linen area... didn't enjoy much because peeps there weren't as friendly as I thought. I was just happy that the day was over...heheh.

Paid another visit to the pastry kitchen before we went home, 'cause there's another shift of chefs in the afternoon so I wanted to see them.. i miss them! hahah! I was sayin' hi to everyone...But guess what. They didn't recognize me at first! Hell yeah..hahah. They asked me, "Patricia is that you?!" and I said what's up with that?! hahah. Chef Robert told be I was hiding some beauty and sexiness beneath my chef's attire! Hahah! I felt my cheeks getting hot...hahah. Blushing! I was just wearing a more fitting set of clothes than the chef's attire...hahah. It was funny, and I felt really flattered! Compliments coming from older people...hey, that's sumthin. heheh. Then Karlie and I went home....

I was having fun with my new friends: Cecile, Jamia, Jenea...and more! hahah.

Then next day was pretty much the same...I had fun in the housekeeping department... Kuya Donald is really nice to meeh... He's not only teaching me about housekeeping techniques, but with also sharing me a lot of stories....stories of the history of the hotel, about lucio tan, and ofcourse God...heheh.
Coffee break again... went to the pastry kitchen again to get some free food...hahah. People there especially Chef Robert are teasing me again...hahah. This time he mentioned about King...hahah. Whatever. He told me King has a crush on me...Whatever! Hahah... Now I'm really blushing...Cheeks really hot! Heheh... Been a long time since I last felt this... People really appreciate me herre! Hahah! Flattering experience! They keep bugging me about this.. Chef Lil said it's okay... Chef Robert gets impressed only once in a while...hahah.

Saturday was our last day in the department...Karlie and I went to Starbucks first before goin' to work...had Lemon passion iced tea...It tasted weird! 'Cause we just brushed out teeth that's why it tasted to weird! hahah! Then headed to work work work! (",)

I enjoy lunch breaks a lot... well except for the not so good food in the cafeteria...heheh. Well it's because I get to chat with my friends... I think the other employees in the locker room are pissed at us..heheh. 'Cause we're so noisy chatting and laughing there, wherein they take breaks there to take a nap and relax....heheh. So sorry! (",)

My experience at the Century Park Hotel is really sumthin'... I got to meet different kinds of people...young and old...with different experiences in life... I'm having a blast! And I hope I'll have fun 'til the rest of my stay there! hahah!

I'll be having my practicum orientation at school tomorrow and on Tuesday...Why just now? Oh well... We were really supposed to start on May 24... But Century told us that they wanted us to start on May 3...but it's okay.=) So Karlie and I wouldn't be able to go to work then... We're gonna be back by Wednesday.... Planning to go to Seattle's Best first thing in the morning before goin' to work... Well I hope so! I'll be assigned in the Deli by then.... Cool! Pay me a visit there guys! hahah!
