Iced Tea or Coca-Cola?

I know. We can’t always feature food, we got to drink too, right?

So I am offering two choices for this FF post: Iced Tea or Coca Cola?

That is what we always have to decide on whenever we eat out. Iced tea or Coca cola?

Do these have the same amount of sugar? Even fruit juices served in restaurants are too sweet. Someone told me before that a bottle or a can of fruit juice has only a tablespoon of real fruit juice and the rest is just water and sugar. Ugh.

So would a glass of water be a better choice?

Greenwich Overload Pizza

Greenwich Overloadeded Pizza.

Tastes good though it feels weird buying that kind of pizza and paying more OR buying this kind of pizza and paying less than its competition. And I am talking about just for a slice.

On the other hand, I am used to paying less with their food offerings but less the taste and toppings 😀

I’m rambling. Ok,  its yummy but lacks that certain smell from other pizza offerings from other stores.

So You Want to Have a Motorcycle?

I have blogged about motorcycles in different circumstances:

  • This post had a photo about a family riding in one small motorcycle that spell disaster if ever a mistake is made.
  • What about the Ducati motorcycle of Yellow Cab Pizza post?
  • Some of the Batangas Racing Circuit photos that I posted? Yes, there were some superbikes there.

Motorcycles are here to stay, that s for sure. Nothing wrong there except some of the things that the riders do that get them in trouble. They ride fast. They don’t wear their helmets on their head but rather wear these on their arms/elbows (duh?). They ride with 2 other riders. They drive even if they are intoxicated,which is the leading cause of accidents in the country. They ride without safety gears.

So it is any surprise that in Asia, in the Philippines, motorcycle accidents happen day in and day out?

Commuting Along EDSA

Several weeks ago, I wrote a post about cars here, emphasizing on the color silver. Our family is fond of going to car shows. The children collect cars and they do not settle for those out of this world designs but get the real car designs. My son can name the different makes of his favorite cars and even calls these by their engine names.

Anyway…

City living (particularly here in Metro Manila) + having a car = getting an auto insurance. Why?

The roads are bumpy, and even the main thoroughfare called EDSA is one bumpy, rough road. One never knows what is on the road ahead and there have been so many accidents involving those little islands they have erected along this major road which should not have been the case.

Streets inside residential places have humps (placed by the homeowner in front of his home) every few meters or so. I kid you not. Poor vehicles have their suspension groaning. If it keeps the kids playing on the streets from getting hit, I understand.

The traffic is so bad, even with six lane roads, it IS very bad and slow moving. And when traffic is bad and vehicles are bumper to bumper during rush hour, just pray that your car…
