Ministop Pasta = Fail
I heated the paper bowl for a few seconds and let it rest for a few minutes so my tongue wouldn't get burned. Unfortunately, when I opened my meal, I was very disappointed.
Mini-Stop Baked Macaroni
The serving is VERY small! It didn't even reach half the paper bowl! And the taste is disgusting. I thought I had a sulit meal, a meal where I got good value for the price. But I think I got the opposite. Oh well, I'm never buying pasta from Mini-Stop ever again.

BBQ and Isaw
This is our Pork BBQ and the isaw. For me, the most delicious part is the grilled fat. Have you had some today? If you're in the Philippines, this is a must-try. There's usually one BBQ vendor every other street (except maybe in high-end areas), or you may order them in any Filipino restaurant. But the authentic ones are just around the corner. For a better isaw experience, UP (University of the Philippines) Diliman is the best venue.

Ganito kami sa Makati
Anyway, before I turn this into into a political rave and rant, I just want to share that last month, we received a birthday cake for Manang, our house help! And I thought those were just rumors. Here's proof:
The birthday celebrant with her alaga
Haha, they say there's corruption behind these cakes. But we don't really mind, Manang didn't really mind. Our government was able to make her birthday extra special with an extra cake. Ganito kami sa Makati.

Science Discovery Center Manila
Well, it wasn't really what I hoped it would be. Not even close enough. In terms of space, the local science center is probably only a quarter of Singapore's. The facilities aren't as updated and as many. And you can probably finish wandering the place in just 3-4 hours (In Singapore, it took me a whole day to discover the center, my curious mind was just too engrossed with what they have).
Fortunately, though, the Manila Science center has something that Singapore doesn't -- the Planetarium. This is where you'll be seated looking at the sky and watch a short presentation about the stars, the moon and other space objects. Very nice for the little kids, especially since the show is about Elmo and Big Bird of Sesame Street. LOL.
Anyway, here are some pictures I took. The lighting wasn't good so the pictures didn't come out the way I wanted them to.
