Posible

I've been busy the past few days to write in my blog. I've been volunteering together with some people from school for the 23rd SEA Games.

It's really good news that our country's leading in the medal race. I'm sure all Filipinos are wearing a smile on their faces everytime they hear news of our athletes winning.

So far, the experience has been great overall. Of course, we still encounter glitches in the system once in a while (or rather, most of the time ü). It's rewarding to see the joy in the faces of the students when they tell us their experiences of the event.

As for me, I'm just glad I was here in DLSU when it happened.

Go Team Philippines!

Big (?) Mac

I dunno if you've tried eating a Big Mac lately, but I've noticed it's gotten smaller. It's been a while since I last ate one (as you can see, I usually go with the Double Cheeseburger), but I remember having to flatten the burger to make it easier to eat. But now it seems I don't need to anymore, and I can even hold it with one hand.

I guess it should just be called "The Mac". Either that, or my mouth and hands grew bigger.

It's a choice

I suddenly remembered something I've learned during our office retreat 3 years ago.

Love is not an emotion. It's a choice. It's a decision you make.

I totally agree...

Cheese galore

Whew! Guess what I had for lunch today:

Yellow Cab's #4 Chesse Pizza
Macaroni and Cheese

It's probably because of Iron Chef America's episode last Saturday... mmmm =P~

The start of my Narnia adventure

I recently bought the Chronicles of Narnia out of curiousity of what the story is about. There's an edition that contains all 7 titles in Powerbooks for P895. I've managed to finish the first title (The Magician's Nephew) in a week's time, although it could be read in less time with only 15 chapters with only around 5-6 pages each. The Magician's Nephew was actually written about 5 years after "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" but C.S. Lewis preferred that it be read first. Apparently, it's a prequel (the same way as in "The Hobbit" with "Lord of the Rings").

The book is a very light read. I'd probably say that it is more a "children's book" than Harry Potter (hey, don't get me wrong, I'm an avid HP fan myself). But I guess considering the time the two authors lived (Lewis and Rowling), there would most probably be a gap between their writing styles. Although I think Lewis' style has more "fantasy" and "imagination". You'd be surprised how a cabby can become the King of Narnia.

If you're a Harry Potter fan, I'm sure you've managed to read first 6 books already. I guess it's about time you go back in time and discover Narnia.

Note: This writeup is only based on the first book. It might change (or not) after I read the entire collection.

Pearl Jam

Rave: The band made a good concept of having the UP side (disc 1) and the DOWN side (disc 2). That means you can choose which disc to play depending on your mood. The UP side contains all the jumpy tracks you've headbanged along to such as Even Flow, Jeremy, and Animal. On the other hand, if you're feeling the opposite, just pop the DOWN side on your player and you'll hear Daughter, Better Man, and Last Kiss.

Rant: The packaging! I never liked cardboard for CD's. My discs even almost had scratches because of the adhesive inside the sleeves.

Judgement: Overall, the album's one of the best I've had. It is definitely a must on your collection if you're a rock fan. 5 out of 5 stars.

Round 2... Fight!

Ok ok, so this is going to be my second attempt at blogging.
You think this time I'll make it work? Hehehe, hope to hear your thoughts about it.
