Recently, I noticed, iba-iba pala ang presyo ng gasolina per gas station. Sa PTT along South Super Highway (between Pasay Road and Magallanes Interchange), the unleaded is Php 43.37.  Sa Total Merville, Php 44.57. 

Pero, what got to me is, iba-iba rin ang presyo even though pareho ang brand!! And big difference ha. 

For unleaded ng Shell sa may Macapagal Ave, Php 42.xx (the cheapest).  Along Quirino Ave, Php 43.150.  Sa Magallanes, Php 44.57. 

Ever since i’ve handled Wudju and Xwind, isa lang ang gas station ko — Shell Magallanes.  For consistency, conveniece, and loyalty.  Now, i realized…for more price din pala.

What gives?

yes, it is just January 2008, but i guess you can’t blame me for looking forward to this year’s Christmas season again….

FRIDAY: wow, officially, gym buddies na kami ni Julia!  I just hope I can build enough stamina to run the mini-marathon with Abel in two week’s time (if ever).

SATURDAY: Went to my officemate’s birthday dinner at their house in Las Piñas.  What a surpirse to see Pam Guiriba there.  Gosh, the last we saw each other was during HS graduation 12 years ago! She is good friends with the family of my officemate pala. Ang liit ng mundo.

SUNDAY: waaah, our baseball team lost to UST last thursday; and to NU last Sunday.  Kirk Long didn’t play ‘coz I heard he sprained his ankle playing basketball (?). 

MONDAY: haynaku, maski gaano ko prinaktis basahin out loud ang Panunumpa sa Watawat,* na-ngarag ako seeing the justices at my side.  Jackie and I represented our office in leading the institutional flag ceremony this morning.  Mental note to Ria, "katapatang" not "katapangan."  Bwahahahahaha!  Ride the shuttle na lang, ma-co-complete na namin ni Jax ang whole SC-employee experience! 

*Ako ay Pilipino
Buong katapatang nanunumpa
Sa watawat ng Pilipinas
At sa bansang kanyang sinasagisag
Na may dangal, katarungan at kalayaan
Na pinakikilos ng sambayanang
Maka-Diyos, Makatao,
Makakalikasan at Makabansa

UAAP Baseball season kicked off last January 13, 2008 at the Rizal Memorial Baseball stadium.

Unbelievable, Kirk Long, the Blue Eagles’ starting point guard in basketball, is playing with the team!  Wow, hindi lang pang-basketball, pang-baseball pa!

Go, Blue Eagles!!!

Note: unfortunately, we lost to Adamson University last Sunday.
