Sunshine and smile, Hivers! I'm back again for another blog post for this week. In this blog, I'm going to share with you all how I and my friend celebrated the Valentine's Day last 2023. Let's get started!
Last 2023, one of our professors gave us an activity in the art appreciation subject wherein we will make a rose made of a glue gun and glue stick. As you can see in the picture, this is us waiting for our professor at the stairs so we can make it check our rose creations. During this time, some of my friends decided to finish their rose since they didn't finish it on time. Some of them bought a floral wire for me; that's why they didn't finish it on time. When my professor tells us that he can meet us in the afternoon so we can pass these flowers to him. My friends decided to go to the mahogany tree, where we usually hang out and chill.
When we got there, Trisha took pictures of our rose flowers. As you can see in the picture, these are all of the flowers that we made for the compilation for the activity that was given to my professor. Some of my friends share with us that it takes more practice to make a perfect rose, and some of them are having trouble making it because the glue stick keeps sticking to the parchment paper. That's why they didn't sleep the whole time because of making those roses. I also didn't go to sleep because I made those roses before the deadline. Well, that is my problem. I was also worried because the paint of the leaf that I used is acrylic paint, and it didn't dry all the time, causing it to smudge if someone touched it. We use a makeup palette in coloring the rose, making it more realistic and beautiful.
After that, we went back to the office of our professor, and then we made a line outside since it is individual to go inside of the office because our professor will ask some questions regarding our rose. When it's my time to go inside, he said that my roses are very realistic, but the paint that I used for the leaves is not a good idea. Overall, I got a good grade for my roses, and I was happy with that. My friends also keep talking about how our professor appreciates their work and how they correct. They even tell us that our professor gave big grants even though their roses are not perfect; that's why they are very happy.
After we pass our roses, I decided to give my friends a crochet flower as my gift for them for this Valentine's Day. They were surprised when I gave it to them because all they think is that all of the flowers that I bring are my clients orders. That's why they are very thankful and, at the same time, very excited to take a picture. These crochet flowers that I give to them are some of them are extra supplies for my business, and some of them are freshly made. I make sure that all of them will receive flowers for this Valentine's Day. I also make them choose what color of the flowers they want, and they were happy with that. We decided to go near the Kadasig gym so we could have a picture as a group of friends.
As you can see in the picture, these are the pictures that we took that day. We are very happy, and at the same time, lots of excitement because they were surprised by me. I was also happy because in that picture, we are complete as a group of friends. It was very rare to have a group picture that all of us were complete. Sometimes, when we took a picture, some of us were not present, or all of us were present, but one member of our group was absent.
They also took a picture of the circle we made with flowers. They also took a picture of me inside of the pictures, and at that time I kept laughing because I didn't know what I was going to do when we took a picture. That's why I just smile and then close my eyes because that's the only option that comes to my mind in doing poses.
After we took a picture, we decided to go back to the HM Lab and then wait for the next lecture. The package that contains bar tools has arrived, and as you can see in the picture, that is April unboxing the box and giving it to my friends who are pasabuying to her. At that time, we are in need of bar tools since we still have a bartending course. The bartending tools that they bought are very affordable; that's why the majority of our friends are pasabuying to apparel.
I, Joshua, and Fhaneza took a picture while some of my friends were busy unboxing their bar tools. As you can see, we are very happy at that time and a little bit bored because our professor has not yet come to the room. After the class, we keep chatting until we decide to go home and say goodbyes to each other.
And that's the end of my blog, hivers! This kind of Valentine's Day celebration with my friends is wholesome. My friends deserve to receive flowers even though it is not from their lovers. That is my way of giving affection and love for them as a friend. I also do that because the majority of us don't have a lover to give them a flower; that's why I initiate to give them so they feel loved and appreciated. I was also thankful that I'm not the only one who gave flowers, but also my one friend, which is Samantha; she gave us a handmade flower that truly captures our hearts. It's really sweet, and I appreciate those people who will give handmade crafts because those kinds of gifts are made with love and a lot of effort that was put into that gift.
Thank you for reading my blog, Hivers, and see you on my next blog post! Ciao!
