If You Like Chocolate You Will Like This

(I came across this fun post by Pinay single mom through Ungkutan blog. I tried it and it works. If only they give out chocolates as a prize for doing this quiz. Enjoy!)

Check this out!!! This is fun!

Don’t tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway but the Hershey Man will know! YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH

This is pretty neat.

DON’T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!

It takes less than a minute .

Work this out as you read .

Be sure you don’t read the bottom until you’ve worked it out!

This is not one of those waste of time things, it’s fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50 — I’ll wait while you get the
calculator

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759. If you haven’t, add 1758.

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should have a three digit number. The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).

The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

London: O2 Arena

Our short tour in London was capped with a dinner at O2 Arena courtesy of Clark, who celebrated his birthday the week before our visit. Tired from the tour I didn't manage to have pictures taken with the arena as background. We went straight inside to have a look around.

Clark treated us at Nando's, a Portuguese restaurant specialising in chicken (reminds me of Max's in the Philippines). It was obviously a favourite among diners as there was a long queue when we get there. Clark told us to have a look around the arena while he queued.

We walked around until we saw a dome with the sign "O2 fanspace" and went inside. It is supposed to be a place to chill out which I welcome very much. The kids does not understand the word chill out obviously, as they treated the place as playground.

No To Con-Ass!

I have not lived in my home country, the Philippines, since 2002. However, I still maintain very strong ties with the country since most of my family and friends still lives there. Being away does not make me less informed about the country. Thanks to the Internet, I am even more informed about the Philippines now that I am living abroad than when I was there.

What happened in 2 June did not pass me by unnoticed, for it was a sad day for Philippine democracy. On that fateful day, the House of Representatives approved House Resolution 1109 that would convene Congress (House and the Senate) into a constituent assembly (ConAss) to amend the 1987 Constitution.

I have been closely following the events on Charter Change on the internet for some time now. I am against any form of Charter Change, whatever the positive argument for it, if it is done under the present administration of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (GMA). It will always be interpreted as a tool to perpetuate GMA's power. She should just go out quietly and save the Filipino people from more hardships. But she can't, mindful of the wrath that awaits her.

Because of this selfish and shameless act of the House, I believe it's time for the Filipino people to really wake up and be outraged. This post is my way of saying that I, too, stands up to be counted for the fight to save Philippine democracy!

SHAME on all the (dis)honourable Congressmen who voted for the passage of House Resolution 1109!

London: City Hall

After our sightseeing of Buckingham Palace, we went to London City Hall. Not only is the city hall a great space to enjoy it is also close to two famous London tourist attractions. Opposite it is the Tower of London, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Near it is the Tower Bridge.

Here are some pictures taken in the city hall. The kids had a great time frolicking around in the grounds outside the city hall.

London: Buckingham Palace

A week ago, we went on a tour of London together with Clark, who is Daisy's cousin, and his family. Since it was a short tour, we only went to see Buckingham Palace, London City Hall and ending with dinner at the O2 Arena.

Here are some pictures taken from Buckingham Palace. Pictures from London City Hall and O2 Arena will follow in the next posts.
