Went to Vietnam last month and had coffee in the province of Dalat (their version of Baguio). They grow their own coffee and prepare it their traditional way.

It was absolutely heaven! The flavor was intense and simply delicious. I love coffee and this was probably the best coffee experience for me.

Is Dr. Pepper considered a cola drink? If it is then that happens to be one of my quirky favorites.

 

As for Shasta, yes, that's quite a nostalgia trip, been having that since the 1970's.

 

The RC Cola we have now seems sweeter and with a lot less fizz then the old RC Cola.

Dr Pepper is considered a cherry cola flavored drink.

And the period after the "Dr" was removed in the 1950's to improve the readability of the logo. Because of the font, the period made "Dr." look like "Di:"

Hi there.

Two traits you will need in the advertising field are SELF-RELIANCE and RESOURCEFULNESS. It's good that you are asking for help, but you shouldn't expect much help from anyone. But here's my P1.01 worth of advice based on what you wrote:

- YOU have to go through the Yellow Pages and get the agencies' addresses and numbers YOURSELF. Practically NO ONE will help you with this. Learn to do things for and by yourself.

- Call each agency you like and get pertinent info, especially the name of their Human Resources person. Address your application to the HRD by name, and not "To whom it may concern."

- Apply in as many agencies as you physically can. You will be lucky if you get hired by 1 out of 25 agencies.

- Try the classified ads, but agencies very rarely place ads there.

- Prepare yourself by reading books on Resume Making and Job Interview Skills. Can't afford the books at National Bookstore? Then go to National and discreetly read any open books there! It's not as if they can stop you. Like I said, "RESOURCEFULNESS".

It's a rough, ROUGH world in advertising. But don't ever allow anyone to discourage you from your dream. If you have to encourage yourself, so be it. Good luck.

Question: is the hiring process really slow in agencies? I went for an exam 3 weeks ago. they said they'd update me on the developments. No word yet though.

Yes, it can take very long. That is why you have to apply in as many agencies as you can. Don't depend on just one. When you take one exam, forget about it and move on to the next.

If you were rejected, they will not inform you. You have to take the initiative and politely follow up your application with them once a week.

Expect the worst, and hope for the best. Good luck.

I've always loved WWE games for the PS2. "Smackdown vs. Raw 2006" is a helluva lot of fun to play!

Recently, I finished playing God of War for the PS2, and I think it's an excellent game!

Man, Diablo is one of my most favorite games EVER!

But I don't think I'd like to play this mod. I have fond memories of playing and obsessing over Diablo:LOD, and losing a lot of time and sleep in the process too!

Enjoy the mod!

I wanted to go with Destiny Cable internet but circumstances in my area wouldn't permit it.

I had to settle for PDT MyDSL-W. It's ok, so far.

Firefox is performing really well for me.

I voted "Others". Just had an urge for Tropical Hut!!!

Ginisang alukbati with chicken.

Hehe, a lot of you probably don't know the vegetable but it's really good. Try it sometime.

Peanut Butter flavor!

I like Ministop for their Garlic Hotdog. And also their Fried Chicken.

I prefer liquor. In particular, I like liquers of coffee, cream or amaretto. And cinammon schnapps!

I've been wanting to try real absinthe but it's kinda pricey.

Just an honest opinion and fair warning to all. Saisaki isn't as good as they used to be. We ate at the Megamall branch and the offerings were very limited and the food didn't taste as good as before. Hope they shape up soon.

Aria really has very good pizza and pasta. I wish I had to chance to try the other restos like Lemon, Cyma's and True Home.

I love coffee and I used to love Starbucks. I would frequently order their cafe mocha with hazelnut or raspberry. But unfortunately, I think the quality of their coffee drinks has declined. The flavor of their coffee is off, and it lacks bite. The taste isn't as robust as before, and the mouthfeel is thinner.

On more than three occasions, I exchanged my drink because it just tasted plain bad.

Just last Christmas, the Peppermint Mocha I ordered tasted AWFUL! I learned from the barista that they changed the recipe by lessening the usual two shots of chocolate syrup, to just one shot! WTF?! I was really upset because they INCREASED the price, and DECREASED the ingredients!!!

No more Starbucks for me in the meantime.

In town? Yellow Cab, Don Henrico's

Out of town? Aria in Boracay

Affordable? Lotsa Pizza!!!

I'd like to try Hyrdoxycut to complement my workout and diet. I see that Hydroxycut is being sold cheaper in some shops in Greenhills. But I'm worried about news on fake drugs. Are these Hydroxycut in Greenhills the real thing???

Red Corner at the Intercon also offers free use of the pool. I would apply for a membership if I wasn't a member of Gold's Gym already.

The pasta at Carpaccio is pretty good. It's a restaurant on Yakal St. in Makati.

The theme from "Last of the Mohicans" was cool. And the theme from "Pleasantville" was a nice, emotional, and feel-good tune.

I liked the theme from the "Justice League" animation season 1-2. I don't like the one being used in "Justice League Unlimited".
