This is a Cocktail!

Of men and Ironies

I have stumbled across some interesting things today:

1. The most accurate clock in the Philippines is found in a PAGASA Observatory in UP Diliman! Yes people, it's in UP! the one near CHE and Reg. Apparently, this clock is the most accurate in the whole of Philippines that it defines the PST-Philippine Standard Time. How ironic noh? Consider the fact that Palma Hall has its own time, PHAN has its own time, Math Building has its own time, and apparently, so does the EEE Building! Talk about Filipino Time.
2. While thousands of Metro Manila Residents wait for water rations, while thousands of Metro Manila residents stand in line for a bucket of water, apparently, some dam near Manila is always in danger of overflowing, that it releases water every now and then, causing floods in the Nueva Ecija area. Tapos, there have been offers to connect this dam to Anggat Dam, the official water source of Metro Manila, pero MWSS pala isn't taking action. It hasn't for like 13 years! Grabe naman sila. They should think of the residents who, until now, do not have water!

An update on a friend's plan of committing dog genocide

After feeding the dogs with food stuffed with msg-- it turned out to be a failure, My friend actually tried mothballs naman. Grabe noh! Uy don't get me wrong, she might seem like a bad person, but she really isn't . She's really good. Yun nga lang, she doesn't like getting charged at by big dogs. Anyway, she tried mothballs nga pero apparently, hindi daw kinain ng dogs.

Now she's telling me she's giving up her mala-cruela de-vil plan. Dog-lovers out there, rejoice! hindi na raw nya papatayin yung 9 dogs!

A foiled scam

Believe it or not, a friend was accused of stealing a mobile phone at an internet shop. Two guys approached him kanina, and asked for the moblile. Of course, my friend couldn't show them anything kasi nga he really didn't do it--what's there for him to give? Anyway, that afternoon, he went to the internet shop and asked around. It turned out that the two guys were lying. So now, we see two scenarios:

1. The guys made an honest mistake in accusing my classmate
2. The guys are scamming.

What is it to be kaya? Here's the catch pa, apparently, these two guys are UP students rin. So much for the mabuhay ang pag-asa ng bayan line.
