In Photos - 2013

Well actually I was planning to complete this last year. I already selected the pictures and then put them here, pending some captions and descriptions - since I had no time to do it. Kidding. I was just lazy to think and type. haha. There are no particular criteria in choosing the photos, capturing them just picked my interest - further pushing me to go farther, click my camera some more and capture even more moments. 

Anyway, since I was planning to do a 2014 edition of this, I felt I had the obligation to finish this first. So, here it goes!

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.
