Mahal Kong Sisig. September 13, 2006
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , trackbackLagot na.
My MP deadline was 5:00 am. My MP is now 19 hours late. I don’t give a fudge. See there’s this 10 day thing where I can still get at least half of the maximum grade + bonuses. So there’s still a visible chance that I will pass CS21.
Anyway.. The Y4it Congress started today. Call time for us volunteers was 6:00 am. But of course since I stayed up past 4 am this morning trying to finish my MP, and assuming wrongly that I could just “nap” for an hour, I overslept. When I woke up I immediately checked on UVLE to see how many had submitted the MP. 22 uploads, it said. Damn. There are 23 of us in our class. LOL. I Don’t care. Since I was already late for the registration thing at the UP Theater, I just tried tinkering with my code for a while. Then I just waited for Joelle to get back from her apostolate thing. We went to the Bahay ng Alumni at around 1pm. Turns out the free lunch was already gone, so we went to the Shopping Center and had lunch.
I MISSED PAPERCUP’S SISIG.
So I shall narrate how I fell in love with Papercup’s Sisig last year.
Setting: First year of college, First Sem, a Tuesday.
My schedule on Tuesdays/Fridays:
8:30-10:00 Nat Sci 1
LOOOONG BREAK
1:00-2:15 Math 17
2:30-4:00 Philo 1
See that long break up there? Well. During that time, I was uwian.. I did not dorm, nor board anywhere. AND! I was org-less. So.. during those liesure hours of mine, I was left with nothing to do. Nothing. And I had nobody to bug because all my friends / acquaintances had classes during my break. Lucky me. So I usually ended up wandering around campus, really having nowhere to go, or going in and out of Palma Hall, sitting down somewhere, watching people pass me by. Pathetic, i know.
It was then that I had decided that I would try to find a decent restaurant or something within / near campus. And after a not-so-long time of exploring, I found the perfect place to eat a plate of sizzling sisig.. Papercup. For those who don’t know Papercup, it was this pathetic little stall in the UP Shopping Center which was not that busy on a regular day.. and even less busy when not meal time. But I liked not-busy places.. so I went in. Ordered a plate of sizzling sisig (yes! me! alone! pathetic!) and stayed, wiled the time away, reading readings of no immediate importance.
And that is how I learned to love Papercup’s sisig.
But then during summer break, they closed, and some new restaurant opened in its place, Ersao. I thought I had lost my sisig forever ’til today when Joelle saw the bond paper they had stuck on their glass window, “Sizzling Sisig”, it had said, as an addition to their computerized menu. Oh the simple joys we enjoy. haha.
So anyway, back to my day. After we had eaten our sisig, we went back to the Bahay ng Alumni and did whatever we were told to do there as volunteers. At around 5:30 we proceeded to the UP Theater for last-minute reminders and stuff. Then they gave us our FREE Y4it shirts! Yay!
Hai. I have an exam in Math 54 tomorrow.. Quadric Surfaces and Conic Sections and all that. Ick. I have to study now. (Right, after that looong entry) Goodnight for now. =)
