Rainbow - Southborder: Take a li'l time baby/See the butterflies' colors/Listen to the birds that were sent to sing for me and you/Can you hear me/This is such a wonderful place to be/Even if there is pain now/Everything will be alright/For as long as the world still turns there will be night and day/Can you feel me/There's a rainbow always after the rain...

Whasup!!!!

I thought this was gonna be the longest week of my life ever... I was assigned at the Cold Kitchen...a total opposite environment from the Pastry kitchen! They were quite serious, i don't think I have seen them smile..Hahah..The Head chef was a female...She looks like our former maid..heheh. And almost has the same personality as the latter...Arrgh! I still had to ask them what I should do! Man... This was the longest day evah! I just helped the other trainees on what they were doing, and of there really isn't anything that should be done, I just sneak out and go to the pastry kitchen to kill some time and chat with Jamia.... The sous chef in the kitchen (2nd highest position) asked for one extra person to help him, and the head chef in the cold kitchen had appointed me to go to him... I went to the hot kitchen where he was, and I was scared of him...heheh. He's the person that everyone fears after the executive chef...If he catches anyone eating in the kitchen, then that person's dead meat..heheh. But I have proven that he is not that bad at all! We're close na nga eh! I have been with him for quite some time, and I have to say that he's a good person...anywayz, He seeked for my help, and guess what we had to do...We had to break whole eggs! Well I have to say that this is the most number of eggs that I have opened! there are 30 eggs in an egg carton, I counted the cartons, and there were 60+! So that's like almost 2000 pieces of whole eggs...Imagine that! But it was fun though! Hahah... But still I thought that the cold kitchen sucks big time...

May 25-28, 2004
Okay, there were some changes! I've been enjoying my stay in the cold kitchen! It's because they already noticed that I exist! And the head chef wasn't at work for 3 days! She went to China for this food festival! Hahah! Glenda paid a visit in the cold kitchen (I told her how I felt about the peeps in the cold kitchen 'cause she was previously assigned there)...She talked to the peeps and told them we're friends, and even told them that I knew how to sing! Now peeps there wouldn't stop annoying me unless I blurt out a song! Hahah.... I think they like my voice! Haha! Why did I say that? Chef Ampy went online to get the lyrics of rainbow so I can sing it fully! I was laughing out loud when I saw the printed copy of the lyrics! Hahah! Well, I got pretty much some rewards for singing out a few lines! I had free pizza for two consecutive days...One was supreme and I had a seafood pizza the next day! Yum Yum!!!! Chef Jun went to work on Thursday, and I was able to work with him for 2 days...He's so nice to me though he keeps teasing me about my height! Hahah! He filled my stomach with a lot of yummy foods - tuna kilawin, danggit, yogurt, california maki, and he even gave me a free lunch stub! Yey! He isn't using his free meal so he gave it to meeh! I've been so full when he was there in the kitchen! Well aside from that he taught me how to make a more sophisticated california maki...Imagine a maki with a flower design on it! cool huh?! Chef Jun is really way tooh nice! And Chef Ampy is tooh! They appreciate the work that I do! And they like my voice when I sing...heheheh.=p Tooh bad Chef Jun isn't going to work on Saturday...No free lunch..ahahah..=p
I had the most wounds/cuts ever! I had 3 cuts last Monday, then 2 last Friday...One was a bit fine 'cause it didn't hurt, but it won't stop bleeding! I got that cut from Chef's Jun teeny weeny but way tooh sharp carving knife. I was trying to hide it from him because I was embarrassed but this trainee (whom I think is a screwball) told him that I had a cut...he told me to go to the clinic but I didn't know where it was so he took me there...So embarrassed.heheh. During the afternoon, the sous chef asked again for my help, and this time, it was to cut and deseed red and green bell peppers...There were just too many bell peppers! I was trying to work really fast so that I can go back to the cold kitchen and get more free food (heheh), but it was already 3pm and Chef Jun had to leave...I was still trying to work really fast 'cause I was almost done when bam! I had already cut myself...I think it was pretty deep 'cause it was bleeding more than my other cut... This time I already knew where the clinic was, and all I can say was "aw aw aw" on my way to the clinic...whatev... The nurse took care of my "boo boo" and everything was fine again..I can feel my index finger beating... Went back to work, but my speed got affected because of my wound...Both of my 2 index fingers and thumbs are the ones that are only wounded..Aww...

Since Tuesday and up to today, I've done nothing but making California Makis....Damn..hahah. If I see one more california maki, I swear I'm gonna barf...heheh. But I have to say I'm proud of making makis...If I weren't that good, they wouldn't rely on me making makis everyday...Galing kase ni St. Benilde magtrain ng students eh! Iba to! hahah..whatever! But imagine how many makis can be made throughout the day...I also cant believe how fast I can make one...I'm so proud..heheh
Tonight is the celebration of 150 years of Tanduay (Lucio Tan also owns this)...So obviously there will be a big celebration...I helped my superiors plating the salad (diff. kinds of lettuce, fish terrine, peppered tuna)...Imagine preparing for 920 guests...There were just plates everywhere in the function room...Just a function room full of plates (where the waiters will be getting the food)..I did not find it difficult to do...My superiors gave me a funny look 'cause they heard me say "this is so fun"...hahah. It was tiring but it was really fun and I really enjoyed it...They told me that I should stay so I can see what's gonna happen through the night but though I really wanted to I cant 'cause it'll be really late...(",) It was also pretty nice to sing a bit in the function room...Yeah, they asked me to sing again..hahah. I think I am really destined to be here, 'cause I having way too much fun... But next week I'll be the Public Relations assistant (gulp.) Wish me luck. (",)

And toohday!
Slept at 3am because I had to do my weekly report for my practicum...I started at Century on May 3, and I had 4 weeks already - that means I had to make 4 weekly reports... I had time during the previous days, but I was just way tooh lazy, tired, and sleeeeeeepy so I wasn't able to do it! I slept at 3am but I still wasn't finished! Woke up at 8am and continued doing the weekly report...Finally finished it by 9:30 and went online to pass the report via email... But it hasn't stopped there yet! I still had to burn cds! Oh yes, I have buyers again for my pirated vcds! Money for meeh! Kuya and I went to SM to meet the buyer... I was in SM, and spent not more than 10mins there...I met the buyer right away, and kuya told me he couldn't find any parking space so I hopped in the car right away... Went around Quezon City to look where to hang-out and eat..Kuya went to his friend's house to discuss about some pc stuff...Then we went to Hotshots to grab some humongous burgers...Yum yum!!! Didn't care about the fat contents...heheh. It was just way tooh yummy! But now I can feel the guilt! Hahah......


I'll be the Public Relations Assistant tomorrow at Century...I hope Toti Palileo will like me! I hope my ass wouldn't get in trouble! I just hope I would do just fine there! Waaah! I'm gunna miss the kitchen! But I promised them that I'll pay a visit, and I will! Goodluck to me tomorrow (Gulp)!!!! See ya fellas!
