1. Kitaro, a fast food Japanese restaurant, makes a great meal out of their “Tofu Steku”, or what I believe to be “tofu steak.” Good stuff.

2. Bonnie Bailey’s “Ever After” is everywhere. I’ll post an mp3 when I have the bandwidth.

3. Speaking of bandwidth, it’s been a month since our request for a DSL line. All I wanted for my birthday was DSL!

4. Crispy pata, unfortunately, will make you fat.

5. Never wear baggy clothing in public transport. I witnessed my first attempted pickpocket when I was riding the LRT: as the train approached a station a man got up quickly and started pressing against another man from behind, presumably to signal (rather emphatically) his urgency to exit. There really was no reason to push, because it wasn’t a full car, no one was pushing the pusher from behind. In that brief moment, I saw the man from behind lightly tap both back pockets of his would be victim!

Finding nothing, within seconds he then perfectly timed his quick exit with the train doors opening. The would be victim looked around, possibly feeling the rush of air as the man behind him exited quickly. If he had his wallet in his back pocket (in his baggy jeans) it would have certainly been taken.
