coffee battle ( FIVEBUCKS)

As I crossed along the road, I witnessed a couple of people who are falling in a two straight line.Then out of my curiosity I investigate what was happening there why people gone so crazy. Then I found out that there was a newly open coffee vending machine named "FIVE BUCKS" Oh yes, you heard it right. The moment I saw their advertisement I knew already that they are trying to imitate the loved and most popular coffee shop in the world (STARBUCKS). But it is much much much much cheaper than the original. (LOLZ do I exaggerate the word - I just carried away by my emotions :) ). Imagine for only 5 pesos ( yeah LIMANG PISO ) you can drink a cup of coffee. And for all we know, the coffee that they produced was not just a typical coffee that you can make it in your house or even buying a 3 in 1 coffee in any convenient store. They are proud to introduce to us the special coffee brewed ( I Was hoping they will mention the top ingredients- but it doesn't happen, it remains unknown :( ) kidding aside to be honest their coffee was very tasteful, unlike in any coffee that I've tried. I wish I can compare it to the Starbucks coffee but unfortunately I have not tried their coffee yet. But anyway I think in 5pesos it is very affordable yet the quality was still there.
That's what I am looking at some things not pertaining only in food, because in every time I will buy some stuffs I will make sure that I have a very good reason to buy it :) Back to our discussion, I was failing to interview one of the sales clerk because there are tons of people falling into a two straight line and eagerly want to try their new coffee. And lastly, I can recommend it to people who just want to try some foods along their way.

I think there are only few outlets they have (as of now). They are just starting to double the total number of vendors-machine later this year. And also they are going to launch new flavors, which they assure that the customer will like it. :) sounds great isn't :) But from now what we can do is to wish them luck and success in their field they choose:)

History of Malabon City

Malabon City

This is where I lived along with my family. Malabon has been just a small place in Manila where it surrounds by water ( 70%). The photo was the actual picture of Malabon since early 1980's it such a good place to live in. There has a lot of things that happened in Malabon that can makes a very remarkable impact in the history of Philippines. I remembered one of those was the BATTLE OF MALABON in 1899, my grandpa and grandma taught what are they experienced during that battle war. It's been a history that they can never forget and they cherish it until their last breath. The new malabon is far different with the old one. Yes, in terms of infrastructural and economical stability I can say that it really evolved now and then. Some of the old ancestral house was already demolished ( maybe few of them are existing ) and they replace by some buildings , houses , market etc etc. This only shows how technology innovates our surroundings and thru that there are some points that we must consider in that statement. First, we must know what could be the affect of that innovation. We should know that in every steps that we made there is corresponding consequences that we can get. Maybe it can be positive from some other not the rest. Second, We live in a world characterized by innovation — by rapid changes in work and personal life; new forms of communication and globalization, and new techniques in informatics, agriculture, and medicine. Much of this novelty we associate with science and with scientific technology; we tend to see science as the major driver of innovation, including social and cultural innovations that may well have different roots. In short we cannot stop technology. Lastly, We must be know that even though we dont have any historic stuff or anything that can brightens up our history we should remember this quotes "History is the sum total of the things that could have been avoided.  ~Konrad Adenauer.
