May nagshooting sa Maskom.

Fancy Cakes on Magiting

My blockmates and I went to lunch today in McDonald's Philcoa, but the uptight security guard told us we couldn't play cards (because "baka sabihing casino ito") or take pictures of the tacky wall photos (because "baka gamitin sa kalolokohan"), so we were like "We're outta here."

We went to Fancy Cakes, this nice little place on Magiting next to Moonleaf.

It's really tiny (about as big as the Moonleaf branch beside it, for those of you who have been there). It can seat maybe fifteen at most.

I had the chocolate smores cake (P70).

My blockmates had the brazo de mercedes (P50).

What's up with this cork board fad? Every other little pastry or milk tea shop has it. I suppose it's a way to build character and to get return customers ("Real people have been here!") but after a while it gets kind of boring.

It's a good place to play cards.

'Firefox' and 'Chrome' are just codenames for internal builds.

Where else would you find this but on a Maskom computer.

Susyaling empanada

Ken you beleb et? An empanada, a bottle of water and a bottle of Nestea = P70!

Maskom bathroom light switch is shocked!

The new CommRes lobby at Maskom

Fierce, diba? The first floor lobby of the Annex building (whose official name has been "Press Freedom Hall" since November of last year) is being renovated, too.

Overhead projection is the shizz.

The last time I remember seeing overhead projection (OHP) in use was in grade school, at a journalism workshop. It's no less cool four years later.

UPCAT!

The scene near my college yesterday. Exciting! I can't believe the high school seniors who are taking the test today are two years younger than I.

I'll try to take photos of the Academic Oval mayhem this weekend.

Dahil umulan nung isang araw, magpapaka-artsy fartsy ako.

Yet another storm on Tuesday. The rain started pouring early in the morning, but the administration didn't suspend classes right away, so students had to make their way through flood and unbelievable traffic to get to class.

Two sticks of Nescafe sugar-free and my last bowl of instant noodles (which came with a fork as advertised, unlike that other bowl of the same product).

And then at noon the Chancellor suspended classes and work, much to the chagrin of those who'd already gotten themselves drenched just to get to class.

Everyone went home. At three PM the sky was clear and the Sun shining.

On Monday night, UP students frustrated with the administration's uncoordinated information dissemination system turned to Twitter to look for announcements. People reposted the tweets of @CesarSalomaUPD, apparently thinking it was really the Chancellor who owned the account. After a few tweets the guy behind the account admitted he was trolling (successfully, might I add). He/she has since renamed the account to @NotCaesarSaloma.

The UP System (whose account is authentic, unless we're being fooled again!) tweeted a reprimand to @NotCaesarSaloma:

Renaming your account does not change your being irresponsible and unethical, a big disappointment if you're from UP.

Apparently the guys at Quezon Hall don't take too kindly to trolls.

OO NA HINDI NA KAYO PIKON.
