Strolling through a tiangge style of booths at a mall, I spotted an item that caught my fancy. Asking for the price, I was informed that it was the familiar 3 for 100, i.e., get 3 of the items for the price of Php 100. Then I posed the usual follow up question, “Magkano pag isa (How much is it if I just buy one)?”
Getting frazzled by the Christmas rush? Do you want to cut down on your gift list? Well, you can start by crossing out your closest friends. ‘What?!?’ you might say. It’s pretty simple really. Just warn your friends that you want to give gifts whenever you want to, but the timing will not necessarily coincide with a special occasion or a traditional time such as Christmas.
Depositing at the Rustans Cubao ATM branch in the mid-afternoon can be quite excruciating because the setting sun hits it directly. When I went 05 December 2005, two clients were already at the ATM machines, so I presumed they were online as I prepared the deposit envelope.
While waiting during an audition, a friend couldn’t help overhearing the following story of another actor due to the small confines of the room.

1. The most visually striking color combination I’ve seen on a building is maroon and orange.
2. You can’t use the same stored value card for two people riding the LRT or MRT at the same time.
3. If you use your LRT 2 stored value card accidentally for the LRT 1, there’s a good possibility that it will be accepted. But, just to be sure that it’s still okay, have your card checked afterwards at the Customer Assistance desk. (This happened to me once.)
4. I am legitimately contributing to the earth’s environment by taking public transportation.
5. Going to and from the stations can be done with jeepneys, in which the minimum fare is P7.50, while students pay P6.
Chicken Little proves that Disney is sorely unprepared for the departure of Pixar from its stables, which will come to pass on 09 June 2006 with the release of the feature film Cars, the last picture to be done under their 5 original feature film agreement.
Legally termed as the Co-Production Agreement, the contract states that Pixar has, “on an exclusive basis, agreed to produce five original computer-animated feature-length theatrical motion pictures for distribution by Disney.”
I’ve noticed that I have the tendency to change my mind about the posts for the week, so instead of doing a pre-writing announcement, I’ve decided that a post-publish reflection might be more appropriate.
Thus, instead of titling the weekly post ‘What’s Up THIS Week,’ I’ll start writing the posts under the title ‘What’s Up LAST Week,’ giving a background on what happened that led to the week’s choice of posts. I won’t be changing the numbering though, for that would be too confusing.
