Endtimes
The Israel-Lebanon war. Bombings in India. Tsunami in Indonesia. Mayon Volcano acting up. Hmmm...

Inconspicuous Consumption
Spotted on one of my grocery shopping excursions:
Green Teazzz
From the makers of my favorite C2 Green Tea drink come Green Teazz, Green Tea with a Fizz. I have a feeling this drink was designed for those undecided if they like iced tea or soda. Now they could have the best of both worlds in one drink. :) It comes in three variants, (I'm not really sure if there's more, these are the only three I found so far) Cola, Raspberry and Lemon flavors. It's a bit weird at first, you'd think you're drinking flavored green tea but when it hits your tongue, it fizzles. So it's probably more of a soda drink than green tea. It may not be to everyone taste since it took a while for me to decide if I like it or not. It's an acquired taste. It's a bit on the expensive side, the 500mL bottle costs around PhP25.00 in MiniStop outlets.
Glinter SOFT DRINK
What attracted me in getting this one is the fancy packaging, it comes in a transparent can. And its not really a soft drink, more like flavored sparkling water. It would probably be best explained if I quote from the packaging:
"Glinter brand peach (also comes in Green Apple and Lychee) flavour aerated water uses natural water mixed with artificially (sic) peach fruit flavour essence, refined fructose and CO2. It is the most suitable beverage for sports, work, meals and for making cocktails. Tastes best when chilled.
Ingridients: water, fructose, carbon dioxide, citric acid, malic acid, acesulfame
potassium, aspartame, sodium citrate, potassium sorbate, artificially (sic) peach flavour."
At around PhP29.00 for a 350mL can (in Robinson's Supermarket), I think its too expensive even for an imported product (it's made in Malaysia). I'd rather go for Summit's flavored water with several variants and cool packaging as well which costs around PhP17.00 for a way bigger bottle.

Fashionably Geek
Me & Ala Paredes for MPH Fashionably Geek shoot, March 2006. Photographed by budding (bading? hehehe, joke lang Jayvs...) photographer Jayvee Fernandez
Call time was 8AM at the poolside of the Hotel Philippine Plaza (formerly known as the Westin Philippine Plaza Hotel) at the CCP Complex, Roxas Boulevard, Pasay City. I was a bit late for some reason and Barney was already starting making Ala up when I arrived. Eva and Jayvee were doing the interview already. We wanted a travel and leisure feel for the shoot and the poolside of the hotel was perfect, nice view of the ocean and coconut trees.
The shoot itself went pretty quick. We were done in a little over an hour and we still made it to the breakfast buffet at the hotel restaurant. After an animated chat with our hostess over the meal (which pretty much sustained us through lunchtime), we were off to the office again to start our day. Soon on the next issue of MPH. More pictures from the shoot here.
