Haven't you notice that manhole in Manila is looking differently on the year 2012?

Before, when we talk about manhole, the first thing that comes in our minds is "open manhole" or "missing manhole cover." This is the common concept of people living in Metro Manila. It is because there are a lot of recorded incidents of pedestrians, motorists and light vehicles that fell into it when they passed by. Round manhole covers are primary target of men selling steel. Those persons who tries to earn money in the wrong way by selling government properties like manhole covers.

Raised Manhole Cover

But now, when we talk about manhole, the first thing that comes to my my mind is those round thick metal on the road, bulging, raised up to 3 to 5 inches tall. 

That will make you fly or your vehicle to ramp when passed on it. This usually happens when you drive at night time or you are following another vehicle at short distance.

The Mistress - John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo movie

Today, my wife and I watched the movie " The Mistress " at Cinema 2 of SM San Lazaro. The movie stars John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo with Hilda Koronel and Ronaldo Valdez.

I left my work at Isetann around 6:30 pm to fetch my wife from 168 Mall. It was already 7:30 when we started to travel from Divisoria to Tayuman riding a motorcycle. It was raining then, but was excited coz it'll be the 4th time that I'll be taking my wife to a movie. I'm not that romantic, its just that my wife and I have watched this beautiful movie trailer of john Lloyd and Bea. We're excited on the outcome of the movie.

Cobra and Nagaraya: Energy Drinks and Cracker Nuts

Cobra & Nagaraya

Break time is the time for us to pause in our work and choose a healthy snack to refuel. I am still working in one of prestige amusement center here in the Philippines. Here, I met a group of electronic technicians whose craving too much on eating Nagaraya Cracker Nuts (Hot & Spicy Flavor) and drinking Cobra Energy Drink on their break time. Break was in between 3pm to 5pm and consumption of this foods is from 15min to 30 min. Don't ask me why the consumption of a bottle of Cobra and 30 gms of Nagaraya takes at least 15 minutes. I have asked them also the same question and they just said: "try it and you will know why."
