Kanina sa Ticketnet outlet...

-
Tagalog naman ngayon para maiba naman (salamat kay Bob Ong... binabasa ko kanina yung isa sa mga librong nilathala niya).

Nakabili na ako ng ticket para makapakinig sa talumpati ni Al Gore sa Leadership Conference Series 3 na hatid ng SM Prime Holdings (Yehey!). Sa Ticketnet Outlet sa loob ng SM Makati ako nakabili. Bago ako bumili, kailangan muna syempre malaman kung may nabibili na nga ba... 

Rochie: Nagbebenta na po ba ng ticket para sa "Al Gore Live in Manila"?

Tindera sa Ticketnet: Oo, mayroon nang ticket. Ito ang seat plan. (iniabot sa akin ang isang papel)

Rochie: Magkano po ang pinakamurang ticket? Ito pong bronze?

Tindera sa Ticketnet: P1,056 ang isang ticket sa bronze. P5,280 naman ang silver. Ang mahal naman ng platinum ticket, P15,840! Sino ba si Al Gore? 

Rochie: Dati pong bise-presidente ng Amerika si Al Gore. 

Tindera sa Ticketnet: May concert siya? Anong kinakanta niya?

Rochie: Naku, hindi po! May lecture po siya kaya siya pupunta sa Maynila; hindi po concert.

Oo nga naman, ang pamagat kasi ay "Al Gore Live in Manila". Kung hindi mo kilala si Al Gore, natural na aakalain mong concert ito. Parang "David Cook and David Archuleta Live in Manila" at "Kris Allen Live in Manila and Cebu" lang yan e.

Tindera sa Ticketnet: Pero paubos na ang ticket. May isa pang bakante sa harap. Gusto mong kunin?

Syempre, kinuha ko na. Front-seat ticket na mura lang. Nasa gilid nga lang ng lecture hall, pero pwede na... nasa loob pa rin. Sa wakas, matutupad din ang kagustuhan kong makapanood ng lecture ni Al Gore. Sa susunod, sana mapapunta naman nila sa Maynila si Steve Jobs, and CEO ng Apple.

    Hi Sylvia! Nagtataka nga ako bakit hindi masyadong advertised yung lecture niya sa June. Pero kahit konti lang ang ads, halos fully booked na. Balak ko sana magpa-autograph pagkatapos ng lecture =)

    Nood ka na din! Baka may ticket pa sa TicketNet =) Wala sigurong front act, pero sigurado mahaba-habang forum pagkatapos ng talk niya.

Skyflakes

One of the more famous Philippine exports is Skyflakes , a wheat-based, salty cracker. It is one of my emergency food items: I typically have some stocked at home and in my handbag in case I become hungry (like in traffic jams). When there's no electricity and it's impractical to cook rice (because the leftover would spoil), I'd open a pack of Skyflakes and generously coat each cracker with Cheez Whiz... if I had a bottle of it within reach. Anyway, each time I spent more than two weeks outside the Philippines, I'd be elated to see boxes of Skyflakes inside Asian stores (particularly when in I was Australia and in the USA). Back then, I took it as a sign of homesickness. When I moved to California, I didn't miss Skyflakes because Mommy made sure that there's a steady supply in the house. Skyflakes is embedded in Filipino gastronomy as a snack, a panawid-gutom , that anyone who reacts positively upon seeing Skyflakes outside the Philippines must have spe

10 things I learned while driving on Marcos Highway to Baguio City

-
I went on a day trip to the City of Pines, which was around a 700-km drive from my house. I drove  going up there and then from the city to Victoria, Tarlac. After that, my dad took over the driving duties. It was day trip with Tita Ising and Tito Sibing with us. Anyway, this trip was my first time to go to Baguio City with me behind the wheel. As everyone who drives up knows, there are three main routes to Baguio from the lowlands: Kennon Road, which ascends from Rosario, La Union. It was out of my options because it's too dangerous to use that road in the rainy season. The second route is via Naguilian Road, which makes my trip a lot longer because the beginning of the ascent is in Bauang, La Union (further north). The last route, and the one I took, was the Marcos Highway, now known as the Aspiras-Palispis Highway. This 47-km road starts from Agoo, La Union and is touted as the safest route among the three.  As I drove up and then down (on the same day; we were in Bagu

Surat Mangyan

In high school, part of the Filipino curriculum was learning about one of the country's ancient native scripts called Baybayin . I learned back then that this script was eventually abandoned because the Spanish, and eventually the Americans, encouraged the use of the Latin script for written communications. But that's in the lowlands; the rules were different up in the mountains. In the lush mountains of Mindoro, groups of indigenous people called Mangyans  live largely in isolation away from the Christianised Filipinos. This isolation has led to the continuous development of the Mangyans' old script, Surat Mangyan . As I walked inside the Ayala Museum , I saw this bamboo tube (I'm not sure if it's an instrument) with Mangyan script written all over it. I suppose that this was equivalent to a book or a song. But I haven't figured out what's written yet, despite the translation guide provided. What I can do, however, is write my name in Ma
