FOOD IS LOVE

We all love food. That's a fact because no one can resist them right?

Food is to be savored ; but there is something in them that is meant to be appreciated before they serve their purpose. I love to eat, but first i like to entice my senses with their color , aroma, and texture. And here,  i will share some of my favorite foods of all time. 

I love apple pie.  An apple pie is a fruit pie in which the principle ingredient is of course, apple. I don't know why but i just loved it. I'm really not into pies but apple pie is an exemption. Maybe because i love apple. There is something in it that makes me go crazy when i eat it especially when its served with whipped cream or ice cream on it .

Also one of my favorite food of all time is ice cream. An ice cream is a frozen dessert usually made from dairy products like milk and cream and often combined with fruits or other ingredients and flavors. I know almost all of us really love it because no one can resist them. Children and even adults love it. Especially me because ice cream is like my best friend. Because it comforts me all the time. I don't have a specific favorite flavor because i eat them all. 

Admit it or not, we all scream for ice cream!

If you don't like these foods, hope you try them because they are really delicious and it will not leave you any regrets at all.  :)

Last october 26, 2015 the school of management prepare something for every student that belong in that school. We have many events like sports fest, games, quiz bees, movie marathons , Mr. and Mrs. SOM pageant, and the som night. 

Every event we had was wonderful and fun. We get excited cheering for our chosen teams in the sports fest, We also join games that is fun and we really enjoyed it. I myself even join a game called "TMysteries" and luckily, we won the first place! We felt nervous at first because we thought we will not finish the task but because of our unity as a team, we are able to solve the mystery case. It was so overwhelming. 

I also joined the quiz bee but i didnt make it to the final round. Im still happy because of the experience and also i gained more friends. I also attended the SOM night and it was fun. I just enjoyed the whole night with my friends and my classmates. It was so worth it. I also watch the SOM pageant and i enjoyed it. The candidates were all good and deserving of the title but unfortunately, one should stand out. Congratulations to all the candidates that joined the said contest.

The SOM week was really fun. I enjoyed the whole week with full of fun and enjoyable events. I hope there will be a lot more events like this to happen in my college life. It was truly a week to remember.
