Thursday night, after my WD 210 (Feminist Theories and Movements) exam:
At dahil nangalay ang kamay ko sa dami ng sinulat, nagpa-hand spa ako after supper, hehe. Sarap!
Saturday night, after my last exam (History and Perspectives of Gender and Development)!:
“Support for both family planning education and for passage of the RH bill is very high among both Catholics and non-Catholics,” it said. “Regularity of church-going, and trust in the Catholic church, have no effect on support for the RH Bill.”
About 71 percent of surveyed Catholics and 68 percent of non-Catholics favor its passage.

Cocoy: Tita Cy, draw an ocean!
Cy: Okay *picks up crayon, draws*
Cocoy: And a fish!
Cy: *draws* (Nagpapa-uto talaga ako, pero sa matatabang bata lang
)
Cocoy: One more, over here! *points*
Cy: *draws* This one’s Nemo. What’s the name of the other fish?
Cocoy: *thinks* Underthesea!
Cy: Haha.
Cocoy: Draw a shark!
Cy: *draws* Oh no! The shark will eat the fishies!!!
Cocoy: *stands up, gasps* Run, fish! Run!!!
Cy: Run!!!

Pao and I were in the den (I was studying, he was zoning out) when we heard Cocoy singing in the dining area.
Cy: Anong kinakanta ni Cocoy?
Pao: Hindi ko alam.
Cy: It sounds familiar.
Cocoy moves closer to the den.
Cocoy: Figaro figarooo…
Pao: Potek ang coño ng pamangkin ko!

I drink milk. Milk is strong! *flexes muscles/fat*
One of the things that I love most about my Women and Development classes is that I get to know women of different ages, with different backgrounds.
Take my WD 201 class, for example. We have a former executive director of an environmental organization, a teacher, a social worker and an economics graduate of a university in London. Our ages range from 23 to about double that.
The great thing is we treat each other as equals (but of course) and as friends =)
As a sem-ender of sorts, our prof, Miss Natsy, took us to her new house in Ayala Heights. We toured the place, then discussed environmental, economic and other important issues (like lovelife, hehe) over pizza and fruits.
Twas a good way to end a good semester =)
Thanks to yeeeee for posting this comment:
I wrote an article about them some time ago (http://www.pickyguide.com/features/bucking_the_starbucks_experience_feature.html). They also have issues about the quality of their milk, unfair labor, and unethical business. I like Figaro more, really.
May Figaro atang malapit sa amin. Lipat-bahay na ito. =)
According to this article, Starbucks wastes 23 million liters of water a day.
