Battle of Soda Crackers

A saltine or soda cracker is a thin, usually square cracker made from white flour, shortening, yeast and baking soda with most varieties lightly sprinkled with coarse salt. It has perforations throughout its surface, to allow steam to escape for uniform rising, and along the edges, as individual crackers are broken from larger sheets during manufacture. It has a very dry and crisp texture, as it is made with less shortening. - from Wikipedia

Yesterday, I've changed the blog background layout. It looks like soda crackers, and some said that they feel hungry whenever they visit my blog. So why don't we talk about soda crackers? Well we usually eat some when we feel a little hungry. Also when we don't have enough time to prepare for a heavy food, we grab soda crackers on the sari-sari stores right? My classmates usually bring one, as a substitute for breakfast. It's really cheap and good. Usually, it does not require you to drink water after eating, because it does not taste very sweet or salty.

What soda cracker do you usually eat? Here are some of the available brands in the Philippines:

Brand Name: Sky Flakes

Manufacturer: Monde M.Y. San

Manufacturer's Description: "A snack, a lighmeal alternative, a travel companion, diet food and a lot more."

I tried this one, it's one of the oldest brands here in the Philippines and up to now, my mom looks for this in the supermarket.

Brand Name: Magic Flakes

Manufacturer: Universal Robina

Manufacturer's Description: "High-quality, crispy and tasty soda crackers with a lighty flaky texture"

I love the peanut butter flavoured variant of this product. But the soda crackers, never tasted it.

Brand Name: Blue Skies

Manufacturer: First Choice Food Corporation

Manufacturer's Description: "Crisp, tasty, premium crackers. Very affordable. The right snack for the on-the-go consumers!"

Well, the spring onion flavor is good. Currently, you can see a lot of this on our ref.

Brand Name: Rebisco Crackers

Manufacturer: Rebisco Group

Manufacturer's Description: Big in size, big in taste plain cracker. It has six perforations that can be turned into crunchy and meaty bite-size pieces.

Ahaha! Never tasted this before. But it's famous because of the endorsement made by Michael V.

What's your soda cracker?

Battle of Pinoy Energy Drinks

In 2006, more than 3 billion Red Bull cans were sold over 130 countries. Here in the Philippines, we are advised to refrain from drinking the energy drink within the past few weeks because of the said risks of heart attack and stroke in Australia. Even young people might be affected. The energy drink is popular in Australian Universities because they say it gives them "wings" which causes the blood to become sticky, a pre-cursor to cardiovascular problems such as stroke.

Red Bull products here in the Philippines were manufactured in Thailand. But the government says that we are not sure that the products do not come from Australia. And because of the cocaine controversy, Red Bull is on hold in supermarkets and stores.

There are a lot of energy drinks in the market as of today. But here are three of the most popular:

Extra Joss: You can avail a sachet of this energy drink in any stores nationwide. Just dissolve the powder with one glass of cold water, and you'll have an instant energy drink. Cost: P5 - P8. Well, my dad prefer drinking extra joss instead of red bull. Hehe.

Sting: Usually, sting energy drinks are bottled in softdrink bottles. Also available in cherry flavor. It costs P8 - P10. My friends usually drink this after our soccer games.

Cobra: This energy drink also costs P8 - P10. Has a great taste, as what I have heard from many people. And its now popular in TV ads.

What's your energy drink?

Jaywalking in the Philippines: The Best Solution

Every day when I go to school, I step out of the doorsteps, ride a jeep and walk in minutes to go to EDSA-LRT station, Pasay City, Philippines. I usually ride the train to go to school and before I climb up the stairs of the Metropoint mall, I don't know if I'm going to call myself lucky or whatsoever when I encounter different road incidents ranging from theft, car and motor accidents, and most of all: pedestrians being hit by motorized vehicles. It's really a sore in the eyes, when I see people being hit by cars and motorcycles. Even though I am a big fan of violent movies that showcases blood and death, it's still disgusting to see a guy full of blood, seizing and struggling to death. I can't help but wonder why jaywalking occurs. Well, I guess everybody becomes a reckless pedestrian even once in their entire life. On our way home from school, me and my friends usually enjoy crossing the highway even if it is not allowed to. We usually laugh and have fun after successfully crossing the highway without even using the correct procedure by the means of going through the underpass.

Well basically, anyone who has the sense of sight can see the pink signage posted by the MMDA (even when you are colourblind). Mostly, the sign says: "Danger No Crossing."

But I guess, everyone doesn't think of what might happen. The risks of jaywalking: pain, blood, broken bones, and uh oh! Death! Believe me! It's really true! Sometimes, we risk our lives just to save a little time instead of using the overpass/underpass. We disregard what the government says, and we love to ignore laws and policies. If it's hard for us, the citizens, to obey rules, what more to those who implement the rules? Imagine what they feel when they discover people offend the law, when they only try their best just to inform us for our own safety? They even give efforts to tell us everything that is surely beneficial to us. But instead, we take it for granted and go on our own way. How sad!

So how about this one?

I can't help but laugh all the way, when I see this photo. Imagine what might Metro Manila roads look like, when the pink signage of the MMDA transforms from the simple "Danger No Crossing" sign to the disturbing "Go on Motherfucker, Cross." Ahaha! Well I guess, this is effective to kids. I know children are scared of their parents when they hear them speak foul words. Or probably not. What do you think? Is there any difference among the two? Which is better to use and what is the best solution for jaywalking in the Philippines? Cool eh?

Ako Mismo!

Have you seen the commercial ad "AkoMismo" which is currently airing on Philippine TV stations within these days? Well now, it's online. You can visit the site here and you can submit your own "Ako Mismo" pledge. Well there's nothing special there. It's just fun to write your own pledge on what you can offer for the country. There are thousands of pledges and I really hope those promises may be done right. Well, as you can see, I did not pledged anything that might be broken, so I simply said "Ako mismo ang magsusulat ng magagawa ko dito sa akomismo.com."
I really hate promises. FYI.

Cheating Has Never Been This Good

If I'm gonna ask you who doesn't cheat, and someone says "I've never cheated for the rest of my damned life" well that's a little (or too much) shit! Now here's a little video I found in YouTube. Some of the schools or universities allow plastic softdrink/soda bottles around the classroom during an examination. So here's the thing: you replace the cover of the bottle, scan the whole tag, edit the input image using an image editor (MS Paint will do!), change the "nutrition facts" into "cheating facts" and attach the thing to your bottle of soda and there we go! Oh by the way, if someone of you guys, have been caught, we'll have an agreement that you shall not blame me (*lol)! I also want to hear success stories, so don't forget to write a comment. Happy cheating!
