Taking the Torch: 40 Mountains Project (part 2 of 4)


So here's the second installment of the 40 mountains project, which, as stated in the first part,
(you can find it here: http://bentambling123.blogspot.com/2014/02/taking-torch-40-mountains-project-part.html) is my little contribution to the preservation of these wonders, through photographs (well, and a brief description of each).

Life begins at the mountain. Here's mountains 11 to 20.

Zamboangeño ₱20 and Below Quick Eats


Okay, so here's the deal. Let me just walk you through my gastronomic memory lane. I grew up in Zamboanga City and stayed there up until high school, before moving to Los Baños for College. At that time, my daily allowance was ₱20, which was surprisingly enough to get me by (today, that same ₱20 will just be gone just for public transportation fare only. Well, here in Manila at least). So yeah, trips at Jollibee to get Yum Burger or Chicken Joy was just reserved on Sundays, when we do our weekly grocery trip. 

So, during "research" and "project" trips at the pueblo, I had to budget what I had saved for the week in these three items: a.) legit research/project b.) counterstrike/starcraft c.) food. As the title suggests, let me walk you through with the three cheap quick eats I try not to miss out every time I go home.
