Puto Bumbong
it's already available in the store beside a nearby church, and it is only Aug.30! i love this pinoy "Christmas food" (it's only available in the streets during Christmas season). i really indulge with this delicacy since i only get to eat this during the "ber" months (unless i go to a restaurant w/c serves puto bumbong all year-round). i really really love and enjoy the puto bumbong when it's newly cooked. i would put lots of butter and sprinkle it with sugar (i don't eat niyog/grated coconut) yum! yum!

23. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy fridge.
24. Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.
25. It's not the jeans that make your bum look fat.
26. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved - and never will achieve - its full potential, that word would be "meetings".

34. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
35. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
36. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status, and ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
37. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.
38. Your friends love you anyway.

Tornado in LB
Before I don’t really care much about these changes since our place don’t experience big floods, earthquakes, strong typhoons and other natural calamities. But now, even Los Baños, Laguna is experiencing these kinds of calamities too and worse, they’re strong and we’re not used to it. Usually, when there are typhoons in
On September 2006, super typhoon Milenyo directly hit ELBI. I can still remember when it had its landfall. Electricity was down. Our house was completely shut. I was doing a cross-stitch project in our living and I can really hear the strong winds whirling just outside the window. When the rain and wind subsided, we opened the doors in the dining room and we saw the treetop of our mango tree was hanging on the roof of our kitchen. The roof was renovated.
Super typhoon Milenyo was followed by Reming.
On Aug.7, 2008 an earthquake occurred at around 4:45am. They said it was strong, it woke my dad and a lot of my classmates felt it. But I guess I was too sleepy then and/or too busy looking for an outfit (it was our fieldtrip).
August 13, 2008 at 2am, it rained very hard, we thought there was a typhoon. It woke me up and I wasn’t able to sleep again. It lasted for almost an hour or two.
Today, Aug.14, 2008 a tornado was seen in LB. I saw the video my aunt took while it was forming and it’s quite big. My dad saw it first and called my aunt, she took a video of it. My dad said they saw debris flying beside the tornado.
My dad said the climate change is very alarming because only last week we had an earthquake and now a tornado. And one day, we might experience snow.

what is love?
"Love is a very wonderful feeling. And the pain it brings, the pain true love brings is very significant. No matter how helpless you are, in a different side, it will still make you happy. Above all, when you get to live with the pain and have let go, there will still come a time that you want to feel the significance of the pain true love have brought you."
