bury me in this dress

twinkie

I miss them. A lot. They’re not sold in my 3rd World Country. A few years ago, a local brand used to sell a similar version but they pulled if off the supermarket shelves. I have no idea why but I think it’s a big shame. So now, I’m craving for twinkies and couldn’t find any, not even in S&R. Anybody wants to send me a box or more of the yummy treat?

Now that Philippine television is airing Ako Si Kim Samsoon and My Girl, 2 series based on popular kdramas, are we going to see better original Philippine drama series? According to PEP, Ako Si Kim Samsoon is getting high ratings. I hope the networks follow this trend and apply this to our own series. I’ve never seen the originals of the 2 series but I’m really curious about the Kim Samsoon adaptation.

Today is Philippines’ Flag Day.

This flag was designed by Emilio Aguinaldo and was secretly sewn in Hong Kong by Marcela Agoncillo, her daughter Lorenza Agoncillo, and Delfina Herbosa.

Did you know that its official Pantone colors are 286 (blue), 186 (red), and 116 (yellow)?

Our flag signifies our democracy which our ancestors gave up their lives for. Therefore, we should respect it and value our independence in whatever way we can especially during these trying times. I’m so saddened by the state of our country especially how we are lagging behind our neighbors when a few decades ago, they were the ones looking up to us. I really don’t know how was as a nation can reclaim our former glory but I’m sure there is a way…

One thing I miss about US is their hundreds of TV channels. I read that I can watch over the internet real time US shows if I know someone with a slingbox. Problem is, I don’t know anybody there who has one. Maybe someone out there is feeling generous and will give me free (or really cheap) access to their slingbox *ehem*. I could offer Philippine cable tv (Sky Cable or Destiny) but I don’t have a slingbox of my own. Any takers?

There will be a Hot Air Balloon Fiesta on Feb. 10 and I want to go! Pucha malapit na pala ito and I should have planned the trip earlier. Our Awesome Planet posted a food/travel tour for those interested. I don’t know how much it is. I hope it’s for free :P

Obviously I hardly read lengthy entries. It says pay as you order. lol

I don’t read dates either! The cost is P4,800. And the correct link is www.ourawesomeplanet.com/awesome/2008/01/up-up-and-a-awa.html#more
