NOMNOMNOM Burgaaaar.

It's Sunday and tomorrow we have another big test coming up. Am I nervous? I'm scared silly. There's going to be a lot of problem solving and analysis on the exam tomorrow because last week was all about epidemiology. I don't know if I'm going to get a high score. I don't even know if I'm going to pass. :/

BUT being the optimistic person that I am, of course tonight wasn't just about reviewing for tomorrow's test! Arg, Joe and I scoured SM Hypermarket for this week's groceries and settled on having dinner at a very intriguing small restaurant nearby called Perri Todd's.

We've heard rumors from our classmates who live here in Iloilo that their burgers were epic, so we had to try them out. We bought the most expensive burger on the menu: a huge slab of beef, lettuce, bacon, mushrooms, and a special cheese sauce. The three of us just ordered one since the price was a bit steep.  Check it out though, it's awesome!

How many burgers like this do you reckon can fit it my mouth?

We also ordered a dish of spaghetti with meatballs. For a pasta-oriented person like me, it passed my easily pleased taste buds with a grade of A+. The serving was meant for one person only, but the three of us shared it too. (We are poor students, after all :D)

Joe and Arg. Joe says that he can finish everything by himself. I have no doubts about that.

It was a pretty stressful day, but thanks to this burger I don't care anymore. Hahaha! I'm gonna buy my brother this one for his birthday on October. :)

University Acquaintance Day

This week our class had to prepare for the "Pag-iririmaw" Event held annually at our university during the first month of class. Pag-iririmaw means "to meet" or "to gather together". I don't really know what language that is though haha. The university plans a parade (with floats), street dance, and a beauty pageant, with all of the different colleges joining. Actually the College of Medicine is autonomous from the entire university, but as tradition dictates the first years always join to represent the entire college.

Preparation week was hectic because we didn't have the time, energy nor the inclination to really win XD. The float, "costumes", yells, etc. were practiced just one night before Friday, the day of the event. Hats off to the med students for a job quickly done! :D

 My classmates slapping a carton pedestal together. And painting it white to cover all the little details.

I helped too by providing moral support.

On Friday afternoon, everyone of us were dressed and ready to march.  We had tarsier ears because the theme of our college was Bohol, a place famous for its tarsiers. We had tarsier "eyes" too, but they were too embarrassing I couldn't even puke after seeing myself in the mirror.

I know we look stupid, but heck, everyone's wearing it anyway.

And just before the parade actually started....it rained! The float was ruined and our walk of shame was agonizingly postponed for another hour. And so we took a lot of random pictures instead. :D

 

Our drummers. Supposed to be tarsiers but dubbed themselves as Care Bears instead.

Our small but spunky contestant for the pageant. 

The underside of her skirt would probably be a nightmare for laundromats, especially with all the rain.

Our male contestant for the pageant. Wearing "stage makeup".
This guy must have all the guts in the world to be able to go parading like this.  

 That's our float. Because of the sudden out pour, it sank instead. XD badum..tss!

 It was a memorable experience, to say the least. I don't think I want to do this again, though, hahaha. I'm looking forward to next year's first year batch. I hope they'll have more absurd outfits so we can all have a good laugh. :D
