  1. My two cents for the aspiring modellers out there... one book will really help, it's entitled "How to Build

    Dioramas" by Shepherd Paine.

     

    Used to have this book years ago when I had the time and space (in my room). I lent it to a friend of mine, but he never returned it. Grrrr

     

    Should set you back around 1-1.5k and you should be able to get a copy at Lil's Hobby Center in Glorietta or at Hobbies and Comics at Makati Cinema Square. Good luck you guys. :)

  2. hmm... I guess it's nice to see that the "nays" for divorce outnumber the "yeas".

     

    My two cents... if divorce were legalized, there's the question of paying ALIMONY, or child support for all the ex-wives and whatever kids you leave behind... that really complicates things and it's my guess that most people here (particularly the MEN) won't be too hot about paying child support.

     

    Plus, consider that a SHERIFF will be COLLECTING the ALIMONY payments... unless they plan to make it billable to the guy's salary directly, via electronic transfer, lump sum or whatever...

     

    So, maybe another angle for divorce... ladies, gents, would you LIKE to have divorce, knowing that there's a HUGE RISK involved in collecting alimony?

     

    If I do find myself unfortunate enough to have to go through a divorce with OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM, I sure as hell ain't giving my money to no sheriff HERE! This is just a far-off detail, but think of the MONEY involved. Expect a rise in MURDER cases should divorce be made available in the Philippines.

     

    Of course, this is all mere speculation.

     

    oh, and besides, there's a neat little trick you can do... I've heard that you can get an annulment from your estranged spouse for a mere P70,000... and the beauty of it is, they won't even know about it unless they CHECK the court where you file it in, and by then it could be too late... but you won't be STUPID enough to tell them WHERE you filed it, now, would you? hehehe

  3. Just to add, the place everyone refers to in Manila is called "Shawarma Snack Center", and was formerly known as "Golden Ship". I'd stick to the chicken Shawarma though... a friend of mine asked the owner how he's able to keep the prices down for the beef; he said his secret was CARABEEF!

     

    Anyway, it's still a good place... don't limit yourself to the Shawarma and try the Chicken Biryani and the Falafel. And the Taquire (peppermint) Tea.
