“‘Baka ginagawa lang na sacrificial lamb si Corpuz sa ngayon, and later he would be rewarded with a higher position in military when the issue against him and Reyes dies down. Kaya sa akin, half baked din itong action ng President sa resignation ni Corpuz,’ he said.” … if we’re going to translate something, lets translate it all the way, people… some of us can’t read Tagalog. (from a Phillipine news source.)

Never buy a sweetened iced coffee from Starbucks. I decided to try an iced coffee instead of my traditional iced Americano this morning. “Sweetened or unsweetened?”, asked the barrista.
“Unsweetened”, I replied.
“How many pumps?”, she inquired.
“What?”
“How many pumps of sweetener?”
“I said unsweetened”
“Oh, sorry”
She proceeds to put my cup on the bar and goes to get my pastry. I see the other barrista putting something in a clear cup, like mine. I figure it must be for one of the other twenty-odd customers. Nope, its mine. Sweetened. Such a terrible taste. Oh well.

I’m off to ’six-sigma’ training here in a minute, where I suppose I get to learn about standard deviations and how they relate to product quality control. Sooooo senior-year-all-over-again. Except the textbook part. And the school part. And I’m older (21 on Friday!!).

Happy Birthday to:
Nick B - a few days back (21)
Ryan T - (21)

I’d sing Happy Birthday, but I’m a terrible singer.
