I’m a bread-person. Who said no man can live with bread alone? I can! I can eat bread (and peanut butter) for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Haha. We always buy Gardenia for our staple household bread. It’s tastes good. But it isn’t the best bread for me. When Le Coeur de France is having their but-one-take-one promotion on almost all bread products, my mom does not fail to buy Pan de mie. It costs PhP 105.00 a loaf. But since we could take two for the price of one, it appears that one loaf costs PhP 52.50 during their sale period. It’s the bread that can induce orgasm. Haha. If you like Gardenia, then this one’s 100x better. :) So what’s with it? Unfortunately, I am having troubles translating the language of tastebuds to the language of humans. But I suggest you try it! :)

I still remember a specific NSTP class meeting during my first year stay in UP. Our professor let us watch a movie (Desaparecidos?). After the movie concluded, she told us to treat the closing credits as part of the movie. Meaning, we shouldn’t have our after-movie-affairs after the movie itself. Instead, we still need to wait until the last line of the credits to disappear. She told us that these people included in the credits deserve recognition.

I apppreciate those people who contributed to such work but I believe that this is not the best avenue, if not the proper avenue, for them to be recognized. I mean, how many reads the credits verbatim? And would those names retain in their minds? Moreover, these closing credits aren’t made to be readable most of the time, are they? ∞

I and my friends have unconsiously chosen Baker’s Passion at Midtown, Robinson’s Place Manila to be our favorite tambayan. Snacks? Drinks? Lunch? Dinner? Booze? Wi-fi? A need for electric socket (Laptop/mobile phone/PSP charging; PhP25 per hour)? Baker’s Passion seem to have everything except the key to world peace. Its less stressful Bread Talk appeal and atmosphere is a bonus. Anyway, we have been ordering pastries food and drinks (Try their Homebrew iced tea! It’s like teh best!) here lately vis-a-vis doing our stressful academic workouts. And of course, we are given receipts for the products that we have ordered.

Well, it’s just your ordinary everyday receipt. Except

“Total Item Count=2.00″

Hmm, is it possible that my Total Item Count is 2.52? or maybe 3.01? Haha. I know this is trivial but I just find it weird. Hehe.

At long last! A Nike Free for me! Err, actually this is my dad’s. But I told him that he should buy something that I could wear too. And with sole little powers of persuasion, we have a pair!

2008 marks the 100th anniversary of the University of Philippines, by any measure one of the most influential institutions in the country.

University of Philippines was established in 1908 by the American colonial government to provide quality education to deserving students of all classes. UP treasures its institutional autonomy and nurtures excellence in a climate of academic freedom. Throughout its history, UP has played a leading role in the nation’s life.

Today, UP is a university system of seven constituent universities and one autonomous college, with eleven campuses strategically located across the country.

In commemoration of this, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas has issued 100-piso banknotes with the overprint of the UP Centennial 2008 logo.

The logo, overprinted on the watermark space to the right of President Roxas’ portrait, symbolizes 100 years of “academic excellence and service to the nation.”

The purple and white 100-piso note is the most commonly used purchasing bill. Its fron features the bust of Mnauel Acuña Roxas, the first president of the independent Republic of the Philippines in 1946. To the right is the flag if the Philippine Republic rising as the American flag is lowered symbolizing a new dawn. The back of the note depicts the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas buildings. ∞
