Survivor: Heroes vs Villains Episode 10
I really loved Survivor in college and vowed to watch it till the end. Unfortunately, the latter seasons were rather predictable and boring that it felt more like an obligation than a pleasure to watch.

Reasons to Love Café Antonio (Part Two)
(Part One here)
We enjoyed our first visit to the café on April 14, 2008 that we found ourselves back three days later. And the day after too. So yeah, in a span of one week we had found a new favorite place. It was that easy.

At the time I hadn’t been to, let alone seen, the much talked-about 7-11 in the UPLB Student Union building. It was only during February Fair 2010 that I was truly convinced there was indeed a 7-11 in the campus. I was slightly in awe.

Noooooo
I’m still waiting for the official Fox release that THIS was an April Fool’s.
Since the Top 12, my favorites have consistently landed in the bottom three. Next week, the stools will surely be reserved again for Katie and Teflon Tim (who’s become annoying these past weeks). How unfortunate for me and all her fans that Didi, who hasn’t landed in the bottom three prior...
