Apol Jagger and Star Apol ♥

Holla! How's everything going? I hope all is good with y'all because with mine, I am really in great joy and happiness with everything I am having and achieving right now. 
Wanna know why? Read on! :)

Being a HOTEL AND RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT student, one of our major subject is Bar Management. As part of our final exam, we are instructed to make our very own cocktail with a section-wide base, Basi wine, and our choice of modifiers, garnish and glass. Sounds good, huh? Yeah, it really is. I enjoyed the whole time I am conceptualizing and debating with the different ingredients I will be using and the supposed-to-be appearance of my work. It came out really well and I am really pleased with the result.

Before presenting my cocktails, let me please remind you that:
The choice of Modifiers, Garnish and Glass are based from my preference. No hate! ♥


Apol Jagger ♥
I named it that way, all because of some trip by my friends. I heard it sound well and decided to use it instead. But I really thought of naming it Apol Jagger, not only it was my Facebook name, but because it gives me this unique identity that will put some great move with my soft and subtle name, Apol. Also, every time I hear "Moves like Jagger" by Maroon 5 on a bad day, it will really put a smile on my face and every thing will straighten up and move how it was supposed to be. :) 



Star Apol ♥
Yes, just like my blog, instagram and twitter accounts; I called my second masterpiece as Star Apol. I really love hearing those words. Why? As my constant explanation goes; 
Just like the stars up in the sky, hard to reach, -- goes like my dreams. I may not be able to have it today or tomorrow; but one thing's for sure: with pure love and effort, I'll be able to reach it one day. ♥ 



That's it! I hope you had fun reading this. By the way, I am really happy that my cocktails were approved and the one that I'll be making on Oct. 19 is "Apol Jagger", my first cocktail. ♥ :) Catch my update about my finals! Yeeeaaayyy!! 


All about the Bar

It's been so long since my last update/ blog post. Yeah.
School was, as always, busy, nerve and head wracking. So many things to do at school plus the requirements. *breathe in, breathe out* But, as always, I am really enjoying school. Since, I already experienced a good Flair Midterm, Declamations, Bar Tour and many many more. You know you are learning, when you are going through different activities and seeing to life how you see yourself putting way too much effort just to get this grade or maintain your academic excellence.

My nerve-wracking Flair Practical Midterm ♥
Got a 71/100 grade. 
Not bad for a *puchu-puchu* Flair Routine.
Out of the few blessed and lucky people in our class, 
I PASSED!
Our Flair Practical Midterm goes this way;
  1. You have to pick from the fish bowl, a piece of paper which contains a cocktail. There are 120 cocktails in all. (You have to memorize all 120 cocktails! or if you are lucky enough like me, I got what I knew.)
  2. You will be given a minute to familiarize the cocktail. Think about the ingredients, procedure, glass and garnish.
  3. Next, you'll be getting the ingredients you need and you must put it in the table.
  4. FLAIR ROUTINE *2 minutes*
  5. MIX your cocktail :)
Although, I wasn't able to make the cocktail perfectly; I forgot to put ice and wrong position of garnish. But still, I passed and that's what is all about. My midterm grade or half sem grade is 2.0. :) Not bad, really!

Bar Tour @ Area 05 Super Club

We went to Dad's/ Kamayan/ Saisaki/ Sambokojin for our eat-all-you-can buffet lunch :) I was super full and really, really, really satisfied with the desserts and different cuisines I saw and tasted at that place. But just to be sure to fit my outfit for the Bar Tour, I already worn my stuff and had a cover up (sweat-shirt) just so it won't reveal my clothes for the night. The picture above is what I wore during the night. 

OOTN:
Cover-up: Vixen
Statement Necklace: THERAPYBAGS
Skirt: Greenhills

In the name of the Bar,
I am loving my HRM life ♥
