CoffeeBreak

-
Daniel and I recently went to the Professional Regulations Commission (PRC) at Iloilo City.  Daniel was there to renew his architectural license, and I was there to have my subjects evaluated.  I am planning to take the LET (Licensure Examination for Teachers) and I need to know what should I major in.  I only have two options: Math or TLE. If I major in Math, I'll be a total Kumiko "Yankumi" Yamaguchi. Aw!

Iced Coffee, sans rival, and free Internet at CoffeeBreak
across PRC, Iloilo City
Anyway, Daniel and I decided to have a coffee break at around 10AM.  We were looking for nearby coffee shops and we saw a CoffeeBreak shop just right across PRC.  The place looks nice and cozy.  It has around 5 to 7 tables inside, plus 3 tables outside.  We chose a corner table, and ordered iced coffee and sans rival.  It's just funny because the waiter pronounced sans rival as SANS rival.  The "s" in the word sans is actually not pronounced.  To know the correct pronunciation, visit http://www.forvo.com/word/sans_rival/.  The food arrived in minutes (maybe 5 minutes) and everything seemed nice.  Daniel even said that the coffee he chose tastes like my coffee mix, which is quite flattering.  Yes, I have my own coffee mix and I use this mix every time we have coffee at home, and no, I am not going to share it here.  CoffeeBreak also offers free Internet to its patrons though it is not unlimited.  It's only for two hours, and the username and password are written in your receipt.

When we got back home, I researched about CoffeeBreak, and sure enough, they have their own website: http://www.coffeebreak.com.ph/index.php.  I give CoffeeBreak a 6 out of 10.  It's a nice place to visit in Iloilo City.

Childhood Rules

Yesterday, I read about Chelsea Clinton's childhood rules which were given to her by her parents.  One of the rules that she had when she was young was "no cartoon shows during weekdays".  Aw!  Good for her.  After reading the article, I also remembered a few rules that I needed to follow when I was still young. One of the rules I can distinctly remember is GO HOME RIGHT AFTER SCHOOL.  I went to a public elementary school, and our dismissal time was around 4PM.  Most kids would stay at school and play or hang-out with their classmates but I had to go home right away.  This rule, however, was only until I was in Grade 4.  When I was in Grades 5 and 6, I was allowed to stay at school until 5:00PM.  Hooray for that!  I believe that this is a pretty reasonable rule. It was for my own safety.  Also, when I was allowed to stay a little bit after school, it was as if my parents were telling me that they trust me to use the one hour wi...

SecPa Documents and the Obsession with Long Lines

Nowadays, most institutions ask for NSO (National Statistics Office) documents in Security Paper (SecPa).  Here in Bacolod City, you can acquire NSO SecPa documents by going to the NSO office and WAITING IN LINE for them.  Some people actually go to NSO as early as 3 in the morning because I think there is a limit as to the number of people that NSO can serve everyday.  Is it 300 people a day?  I'm not so sure.  But anyway, I cannot imagine myself waking up at 1 in the morning, riding a jeepney to the city at 2 in the morning and waiting in line from 3 in the morning until, probably, around 11AM.  And I don't think that there are jeepneys available in our area at 2AM.  Image from phlist.com I am in need of a SecPa document and I was thinking that there must be another option.  So I went to the website of NSO (which is www.census.gov.ph), and there I saw a link to http://nso.citizenservices.com.ph/  wherein you can acquire your SecPa ...

NOTES ON GENESIS 1

INTRODUCTION I am not a Bible scholar and I don ’t have a PhD in Biblical Studies.  I am just an ordinary person who studies the Bible.  I will be posting some notes and thoughts that I have as I study the Bible.  I am all for a healthy discourse, however, I will not be a party to bashing, destructive arguments, and the like. I am open to a positive learning experience.   NOTES ON GENESIS 1 1.   As I started reading the Bible, I noted in verse 1 that “God created the heavens and the earth”.  There was no mention of planets, galaxies, and the universe.  In fact, the words galaxy and universe are not in the Bible.  The word planet was mentioned only once in 2 Kings. 2.  The first creation of God was light.  There was already Light on earth BEFORE the sun and moon were created.  In other words, we cannot consider the sun and moon as the MAIN SOURCES of light because even before they were created, there was already LIGH...
