Casa Roces

Right after the board exams, Rudden fetched me and we met my family in St. Jude Church where a lot of medical students go during and after the board exams. It was raining so hard and we didn't know the disaster that was about to hit our country.
After the church we went to Casa Roces in Malacanang complex, the ancestral house-turned-restaurant is so pretty! It's so classy and nostalgic.

Casa Roces is managed by Cravings, which is a partner of Fraser Place and luckily, someone knew my mom so he toured us around the restaurant and gave us a history of the Roces family and their abode.

Boards and your weight

The exam is finally over but due to the typhoon and holidays, we are in agony waiting for the results to come out which is delayed probably for a week, boo!

I gained sooo much weight the past month esp as the exam approaches so the weight lost earlier was wasted, boo! I'm not a gym person so probably I'll start exercising again at home. Take note: one of our professors told us that the exercising in the gym for an hour is for WEIGHT MAINTENANCE, to LOSE weight it has to be one and a half hour!!!! Crazy! I'm so dead tired after 30minutes!!! Haha!!! How many pounds do u want/have to lose? Let's hit it! :p
