The results of the October 2009 board exams given by the Board of Accountancy is out and am glad that the daughter of a friend who studied in one of Manila's leading universities was one of those who passed. Passing rate was 41.68% which means there were still more who failed than passed this tough exam :( Congratulations to the country's new batch of accountants! Without a doubt, this remains one of the exacting and demanding professions there is and they deserve to be taken care of. Businesses wouldn't be running soundly and anomalies wouldn't be uncovered ... Continue Reading...
The real Facebook home
It goes with the success. The queen of social networks, Facebook, has just moved to their new headquarters in Palo Alto, California and we can't help but salivate. Dig the bike and the Eames chairs (via Dezeen.com) The design, done by San Francisco-based Studio O+A, is cool, hip, and reminds almost everyone of the equally freewheeling atmosphere at Google. The walls have in fact been laid bare so the 700 or so employees housed in the building can freely post artworks and even write graffiti on them. ... Continue Reading...
Yes, it is all right to go bananas and OD on this miracle fruit
How true is it that they're running out of bananas in Japan? That's because the figure-conscious Japanese are into this Morning Banana Diet which goes like this: eat a banana with water for breakfast, eat anything you like for lunch, take a snack but no desserts in between meals, have dinner by 8 p.m. and make sure to go to bed before midnight. It is so good that one actress has reportedly lost 26 pounds with it (via Huffington Post). I do attest that bananas are a good filler. Because am usually rushing to go the office, it just takes a visit to the nearest 7-11 ... Continue Reading...
Cafe World and a real tonkatsu recipe to try
It's easy to immerse oneself in Cafe World. Today, I reached Level 15 which means I can already whip up Tony's Classic Pizza to add to the usual menu repertoire. These include bacon cheeseburger (the most basic), Super Chunky Fruit Salad, French Onion Soup, Triple Berry Cheesecake, Spitfire Roasted Chicken, Home-style pot roast, tikka masala kabobs (or kebabs), jumbo shrimp cocktail, & spaghetti and meatballs. My online kitchen is ever-busy! Good thing there's the husband on vacation (gulp) to keep watch over what's simmering in my stoves. What I like about Cafe ... Continue Reading...
Cafe World: my new favorite Facebook game
Cafe World, my new favorite Facebook game, is actually the first Facebook game I played. Sure I got friend requests for Restaurant City and Farm Town before, but never really got around to it. I never thought these FB games can be so addicting! Now my life is not the same again because I always have to think of the cooking in my cafe when I wake up and before I sleep at night :D There is risk of food spoilage, you know. And the competitive spirit in me will always want to go to the next level. Which is bad since I can't play the game for the most part when am in the ... Continue Reading...
