The Cliff walk

I finished one of the books that I read today. This book told me the story of the author who belong to a middle class family in America. He was a professor in English, married with three children and currently his wife was pregnant when he received his pink slip. It was really a great blow to him because as a father, he was expected to provide the needs of his family. Unfortunately, due to the economic recession in America, he couldnt find any job which was the same with the previous one. As a result, he was depressed and his confidence hit the bottom. The story ended when he became a construction worker yet he was happy of it because he found the grace and dignity of that job.

When I finished this book, I began to relate it to the plight of workers in the Philippines. According to the new statistics there were 13.8 million people who are jobless. Today, some college graduates cannot find a job. I really wonder if the K+12 education system is applicable nowadays. Majority of the parents send their children to school to study so that someday they can find a job to support their living. But with this situation, is it important to extend the number of years just to study in a school?

I hope that our government made a good decision with this law.

A simple deed

I really had a bad week today. Aside from running in a taxi just to see the face of my longtime crush (hahaha!!), the sandal that my sister gave to me got broken. When I was about to ride in a jeepney, I felt something odd in my feet. There, I realized that the strap of my sandal was ripped. I just told the driver nicely to pull over the jeepney because I forgot something. When I removed my sandal to examine the strap, I could feel the hotness of the cemented road because it was already 12 noon. I havent been a stagy but it was really shameful to walk bare feet at Matina, one of the busiest road here in Davao. There I just asked the owner of the newspaper stand to let me borrow his slippers so that I could get another sandal at my boarding house. Since he has been my friend, he let me borrow his slipper without any doubt.

I just realize that a simple deed can be a great help to others.

Starbucks in Davao

When I am inside a mall like SM davao, I use to eat a lot of foods. I really love eating especially if the food looks good. However, this kind of practice would lead me to stomach ache.Hahaha..

Thanks to God, there is a newly opened Starbucks in SM Davao and Abreeza Mall that can help me in this kind of problem. Starbucks is a kind of restaurant that is offering coffee and some desserts. Coffee is a good laxative which means it causes one's stomach to exhibit wave-like movements which helps in emptying them. Thus, it can help us when we are constipated.

When my friend and I visited that place, the ambiance was really good. Sometimes, I wonder what makes a restaurant really have those kinds of atmosphere. Moreover, you could find people who have an average and above-average income dining in that restaurant. When I was young, I was not entering those kinds of places. Because of this I thought that price of one commodity would range from P300 to P500. But I was really shocked because the food ranged as cheap as P95 to P275. The waiters and waitress are also friendly and accommodating.

Madarin tea garden

My friend and I used to dine a lot of restaurants such as Mandarin Tea Garden. Well, I am not an avid fan of Chinese cuisine nowadays because of the recent escalation in Scarborough shoal. I think the incident is an insult to Philippine sovereignty.

However, my friend has a Chinese blood and he loves to eat noodles so we went in that Chinese restaurant. I was really shocked because there was a change in the physical appearance of the menu.Furthermore, the prices became more expensive than the old one. Before, I would feel satisfied if I ate P32 of siopao. But now, that kind of food was abolished replacing a much smaller siopao with a cheaper price. I also ordered chicken mami because I already tasted all the noodles in the menu but I felt gross when I ate it. As usual, I felt like vomiting inside the mall. I realized that siomai and ravioli were the most important ingredients of noodles soup.
