Jeff.Prudencio.Lovewright.: For About A Month.. →
jeffprudencio:
For about a month, I’ve kept everything to myself, barricaded inside my room, confined at my apartment, all by my own discretion. Developing in SF, i realized being away from home or just from people in general really leaves you contemplating. I’ve noticed all the bullshit in society and…

The Bonfire
It’s going to be Fourth of July in a few days and Beta Theta Omicron celebrated a tad earlier with good friends last night at Ocean Beach. Everyone brought food, chocolate, graham, and marshmallows for s’mores, pizza, soda, fruit platters, double stuffed oreos, and cake of course, for the lovely birthday celebrant, our amazing student body prez-elect, Heidi Hansen. We all know a...

The BB Torch and My BQO Girls
While dSLRs and upgraded lenses do capture the nicest photos, it doesn’t mean regular cameras like the one on my BlackBerry can’t take good shots. I left my Nikon d5000 at home this morning, so I was left with no choice but to put my BB Torch’s 5 mega pixel phone camera to the test! It wasn’t too bad after all, and actually managed to focus into some of the elaborate...

Kani Kosen Celebration
I turned 19 last Tuesday, the 28th, and life has been nothing but great to me. While I intensely miss my family in the Philippines, there still remains two factors that really simply make my day: good food and good company; and I was blessed to have both! We wish Uncle John was here! Mama Julie surprised Papa Cali and I by inviting Tita Kaye, Amber, and Johnny to dinner with us at my...

Why I Love Cafe Reina
If you’ve been following my blogs for awhile, you’ll know I am a mochaholic! Problem is, coffee shops like Starbucks and Peet’s are just too expensive. Imagine ordering a large caffe latte everyday, and let’s say you also wanted a pastry for the sake of having something solid in your stomach so that’s going to be 4 + 2.25 bucks, multiply it by 30, you’d have...
Winter Fancy Food Show
It was a tiring seven hours at Moscone Center today, nonetheless, the convention if I should say so myself, went great! There were over 5,000 stalls, composed of a variety of food businesses and services that catered to the attendees’ different gustatory preferences. This was my first ever Fancy Food Show, and I deem it an honor to be invited as press under my editor Kaye Cloutman and Lulu...

The Simple Joys
As much as I hate cliches, I’ll be repeating one right now. Christmas season should not be that wherein gift giving and receiving is most important, nor it be mainly about decorating houses and flaunting who has the nicer tree. It is a time of love and appreciation. So what, if you went to Europe? So what, if you were given a new Balenciaga? Christmas is finding pleasure in the simple joys...

Merry Christmas!
Christmas has always been a time of love and thanksgiving for my family, so every year is equally amazing for me. However, I should say 2010 is most memorable we’re finally in tact! As you all know, I just moved here around four to five months ago, and being very family-oriented, it was pretty difficult for me to be so far away from my loved ones. Fortunately, I had Papa Cali and Mama...
My Coun100 Pamilya
Today marks the beginning of the Christmas holiday! Everyone at home is still asleep. As y’all know, my family flew in last night, and it was pretty surreal for me to see all of them again. But anyway, what I want to talk about was the perfect end of the semester I experienced yesterday at our Coun100 class with Ms. Mariano.
It was the last day of finals for some of the students, so we just...
Swollen Thumb
It was Christmas cleaning at our home today as preparation for my family’s visit this Friday. I had a fairly difficult time scrubbing the tiles, brushing the toilet bowl, and wiping the glasses and mirrors of our bathroom clean, as well as help Keanu vacuum the house. I never imagined how big an impact my swollen thumb would have on my daily activities. I can’t even wash the dishes...
Site Counter
Hi, I have a view counter finally up and running! Anyway, school is officially over. I am just currently reviewing my notes and hand outs for the finals next week. How are you all keeping up? I’m actually kind of chill, and I’m loving this stress-less weekend! I hope everyone’s doing good as well.
☮ and ♥, Denice.

Coffee Confession
I have a confession, although not many of you know this, I am absolutely, outrightly, seriously, totally, completely a white mochaholic. This all started when Mama Julie brought me to my magandang Tita Reina’s coffee shop in ParkMerced, Cafe Reina. I was never a coffee drinker, but that day, I decided to try her white chocolate Mocha. It was pure heaven. I would go to Cafe Reina every single...

Cloutman Thanksgiving
It’s been an incredibly busy week for me, so I’m glad to have finally gotten myself some spare time to blog. I am, at this point in time, sitting on a meeting table at the living room of my Tita Kaye’s house in Tracy. I am loving the ambience of her beautiful home, the friendly and peaceful neighborhood, and of course, the great company of good friends and family the...

School, Friends, and Home.
Do you ever feel like nobody appreciates your efforts? School’s been really busy only because finals are coming in a month, deadlines here and there, and short quizzes given almost every single day. This is probably an attempt to help raise or maintain our grades, it is, however, still tiring and stressful.
It’s not too difficult for me to balance my academics and social...

All About Love
Do you fear the darkness? Do you seek the light? Would you choose to love, or to always be right? To be always angry, To be always mad, Yes, you got your way now, Does this make you more glad? We are made for love, We are made to love, Love has captured me, I have captured love. Materialize life, Disregard what matters. You say you know truth, But you are no better. We are made for love, We are...

PUTOL
It was just last August 2009 that we started packing some of our things and move in to our Antipolo home now, but even before it was built, Putol was already roaming the area. Putol is a street dog, black, with a very short tail that looks to have obviously been cut off— which is why we named her what we did. We adopted her as she was very lovable, adding to that, our German Shepherd,...

Meringue
We sat at our designated seats, At Miss Remy’s tutorial session; She arranged it that way. I was in fourth grade. And looking at you, For the first time, I felt Butterflies in my stomache. A child, what it was, Why, how, I had no idea. Twinkled my eyes, Didn’t know I was Flirting. You smiled. I giggled. Truffled dresses, Suddenly, Seemed more attractive than The twirling slides At our...
