currently in RedHours with few of my friends, I just noticed they have wifi so I asked the attendant for the network key...
ME: May I have your network key?
ATTENDANT: drink responsively all in lower case:
ME: (Typing "drinkresponsively" for the password) i cant connect no matter how I try..
so she wrote it in a paper:
damn it!.. see what alcohol can do?

Halo-Halo or Banana con Yelo?
Certifyd Maldita was craving for something cold and sweet,
so we went to Razon’s Filipino Restaurant since her officemate have mentioned that they have real
good Halo-Halo.
We ordered a meal and ordered the regular halo-halo with
extra leche flan.
When it was served, I got confused. It didn’t look like
halo-halo to me. I thought that maybe the waiter served us the order for
another table. So, I innocently and confusingly asked,
Me: Excuse me, is this halo-halo or banana con yelo?
Waiter: Halo-halo maam.
Me: Huh?! So, what are
the ingredients of your halo-halo?
Waiter: Banana, macapuno,
milk, ice and leche flan
We got disappointed. It sounded and looked more like Banana con Yelo to us. It tasted good though, it
tasted real good for a special banana con yelo. Seriously, the local snack house in our
small town has way better halo-halo with more ingredients mixed for only 35php.

How Do You Pronounce Route?
I just recently noticed that some of my friends pronounce the word "Route" as rüt while I feel more comfortable pronouncing it as rau̇t just like how I pronounce "router" (rau̇-tər). Consistency issue perhaps and besides, I use American English and have a neutral accent. I just discovered that rüt is a British English pronunciation while rau̇t is American English Pronunciation.
Bottom line, both are acceptable. Its just like with the argument of the pronunciation of tomato and potato.
