Hailing in Parañaque

I was like wow-ing when I heard that it was actually hailing here. A family friend of ours had told my mother that it was hailing in here. I woke up to a thunderstorm and a bit of rain then a blackout. I haven't heard of it ever hailing since I actually saw real hail when I was 8 years old, which was 20 years ago. Is it just me or I just don't see actual hail yet? hehe.

Update on the Maynilad Construction on Tirona St.

While I was trying to sleep in the middle of the afternoon, I heard this familiar sound of jackhammers punching through cemented roads. I just finished watching 22 episodes of an anime I wanted to review on my other blog site. While it's nice to hear that there are people actually giving a damn about providing water to our subdivision, I wonder what's taking to darn long! Sure the rains may have delayed the rehabilitation of our water pipes but sheesh, can't they do it a little faster? A little bit of rain and they stop working and delay it for as long as possible. If it were up to me they would've been done a month ago. It's taking them so darn long to finish ONE STRETCH of street. Albeit it's about a kilometer long but that's no excuse. But yeah, thanks for that Maynilad, at least you're in. Finally the smell of chlorine in my tap. LOL.

DOH says Dengue is Deadlier than H1N1

The global case fatality rate for A(H1N1) is 0.55 percent of the 25,288 confirmed cases in 73 reporting countries.

However, despite of the ballooning figure, DOH Undersecretary Mario Villaverde said there is still no outbreak of the virus in the Philippines. “There’s no outbreak because we can still trace cases. We can still find the index case and their contacts.”

DOH records showed that “some of these cases were related to the cluster of schools that have already voluntarily suspended their classes due to the novel virus.”

These schools are De La Salle University (DLSU)-Taft with a total of 15 cases; DLSU-St. Benilde College with two cases; Ateneo de Manila High School with three cases; St. Andrew School in Parañaque with one case and FEU-East Avenue College with two cases.

Looks like my hometown Parañaque is no exception to the H1N1 virus. Heh. Being that the darned airport is in Pque! So we should actually be ground zero to most of these infections since they come from overseas. But so far since there's only been one reported case of the H1N1 virus here, that means that our airport officials have been doing a spectacular job.

Shawarma Snack Center President Ave. Nightmare

My friend Mon and I had a late night snack at the local Shawarma place at President Avenue last night. And as usual, my glutonous self ordered more than what I could normally eat. I ordered the Deluxe Shawarma and the Shawarma with Arabic Rice. Loved the hot sauce. Their garlic sauce, though didn't stay the same over the years. It wasn't made fresh and it was made out of Lady's Choice Mayonnaise or the like.

Don't get me wrong, the food tasted great and I stuffed myself 'til I couldn't walk. But man today, I have been crapping my bum out. I dunno if it was the meat or just some form of indigestion. I had to go to the toilet three times today, and twice last night! I guess some of the stuff that my friend Race said about the food there that gave him LBM. Guess I'm gonna either eat less or not eat there at all anymore. But come to think of it, it's probably the mayo. I had a lot of the garlic sauce last night, and usually I don't put a lot because I prefer my food spicy. Hmmm.....

Just wanted to share my experience.
