Ice Cream!

I simply love ice cream. You too? Hehe. Then let’s head off to the nearest Mini Stop store to buy that big cone of ice cream that will cost you 15 pesos but would satisfy you for 15 minutes. But before these fast times I still remember the familiar bell clanging that will tell you that the “mamang sorbetero” is around and you would rush out and stop whatever you’re doing just to buy his delicacy- “dirty ice cream”. Wow, how I miss the Avocado flavor! Nah, who told you it’s really dirty? I haven’t heard of someone die because of eating “dirty ice cream"... yet. Hehe. It’s part of the Filipino culture, I should say. Family gatherings or birthday...

Sponge Cola Live in Eastwood City

The date is September 26, Friday night and its been awhile since I watched and heard some good headbanging stuff in Eastwood City, as Sponge Cola did their album launch for the self-titled album “Sponge Cola”.

Call Center Sa Probinsya

Mas prefer nyo bang magwork sa province sa mga bagong international call centers?
