Just how fast the time flies, I’m just sitting together with my classmates inside the classroom, chitchatting, laughing with each other, and getting crazy together with our rigorous paperwork and academic requirements. Yet now, we’re currently on our internship, and we barely or already don’t see each other at all. Ever since we started our on-the-job training, I haven’t seen those faces every day anymore, given that I work separately from them. To me, it’s another era of staying out of my comfort zone, given that most of my friends work for the same company while I don’t. Thus, this made me miss my friends. I don’t want to disclose this one because I’m sure they will playfully tease me again and again. But for the reason that it’s very obvious that they miss me too, a lottttt, (✿ ♡‿♡) and I guess they might read this anyway, so okay yeah, I admit it now. I miss my friends and everything that we used to do during the usual school days.
I have some of my friends working at an establishment that's a short distance from the company where I worked. Though my body’s already longing for bed, I sometimes would still ask them if we could spend time together after work, and what we did last time was eat burgers, then go directly home right after. That was just a quick, quality time, but at least they were able to see me. Hahaha, at least we saw each other again, even just for a few minutes. This time, we’ve met each other for Tuslob Buwa!
Our friend, Adahcakes, who’s almost becoming a regular customer here, has initiated cooking the pig brain gravy for us. It’s just a simple method, because you will just have to mix the ingredients.
I have actually tried this before with my cousins, way back in the pandemic era. That was my first time, and now it is the second time. I’ve been invited by my classmates to Tuslob Buwa back then during high school, but I apologetically declined because I thought I'd be like fully eating the whole pig’s brain. But it’s actually not; thus, the moment that I tried it once, I started to like it already, because it’s definitely yummy! Though I initially didn't like the idea, I realized afterwards that my first impression was totally wrong. Tuslob Buwa is delicious, especially when spent together with your significant others.
What you're going to do is just dip the hanging rice in the boiling stew.
Moreover, this Tuslob Buwa early nightventure happened on Friday, March 8, 2024, which is International Women’s Day. I treat this as our celebration of this special month for all women by gender and by heart. So, let me say HAPPY WOMEN'S MONTH TO ALL OF US!

A little trivia: What is Tuslob Buwa?
Tuslob Buwa, or, in English, “to dip in bubbles,” is a Filipino street food that originally started here in Cebu City, Philippines. This can be found on Cebu streets. If you might wonder, what’s this merienda or meal? It’s actually from a pig’s brain, which is made like a gravy where we would dip or “tuslob” the hanging rice, or what we call “puso” in Bisaya, in the brain gravy, which looks like bubbles or "buwa”.
Concluding the day with this kind of get-together with friends definitely made me so happy. Though we were exhausted from our individual work, we still made time to see each other, celebrate, and enjoy each other’s presence. I'm undeniably in my clingy era now, as they would always say. Hahaha, but yes, this short Tuslob Buwa hook-up with these lovely girls absolutely made my day.
This one clingy friend, @ikaycutie, has been documenting us as well, and I know she misses me a lot already. That’s why she’s probably taking photos of me. For sure, for sure. (◕દ◕)
Yieee, I told you. Photos captured by the clingy one, @ikaycutie.
