What one item can you buy for P100?

An internet card -- in my case, one that gives me 20 hrs. of online time (the better to research materials for my blogs).

An original VCD on sale -- the latest I purchased is "Freaky Friday" (entertaining though not exactly relaxing about half the time due to all the "you're-ruining-my-life" type of teen angst that Anna displayed; still, it's a good take on dealing with generational differences, and the soundtrack is quite interesting).

A book titled "20 Speeches that Moved a Nation" -- haven't read it yet, but check this out: Andres Bonifacio, Ferdinand Marcos, Joseph Estrada and Joker Arroyo all in the same book. Other featured speeches are by Jose Rizal, Joaquin "Chino" Roces, Cory Aquino and 13 other figures who, in one way or another, influenced the course of our nation's history by their words.

  • hmm speaking of beer, i didn't realize P25 for a can was considered cheap. many koreans drink like mad when they're here, partly because they find the beer here so cheap so they take advantage of that before heading home to their country.

    yeah, nice surprise indeed, asian. for a change i'm reading up on what the country's forefathers stood for. btw, besides cory aquino, there's another woman included in the book -- CLEMENCIA LOPEZ, described as "suffragette and patriot". here piece here is called "women of the philippines," an address delivered at the annual meeting of the New England Woman Suffrage Association, in 1902.
