WHAT I ENDED UP BUYING AT THIS DRUG STORE



I did a little grocery shopping at Puregold along Holy Spirit Drive last week (1-29-15). And on my way to the parking area after my shopping, I dropped by Generika drug store to buy mefenamic acid. 

So I asked the pharmacist if they have it. The lady told me that she will check their stocks. To my disappointment, she said that they ran out of the medicine that I wanted.

She then offered to me their branded mefenamic acid. I chose Dolfenal over Ponstan, because the former works for me best as of late, apart from the fact that it is cheaper than the latter.

The Trapper Keeper Generation




My very first Trapper Keeper looked like this, with a fine white checkered pattern





What Trapper Keeper generation?

I do belong to this generation. For the younger set, I know that you are not familiar with it. But for my contemporaries, I am more than certain that you do know what I am talking about. 

Are you now excited?

A Total Stranger and My 100 Pesos






Last Saturday, my colleagues and I decided to take our lunch at the nearby Super Metro. We were at the basement lobby on our way to Adobo Connection, when a decent looking man with a woman in tow, called our attention.

STARTING THE NEW YEAR ON A SAD NOTE: JUSTICE FOR TYLER











I am posting here in my humble blog, a narrative about the tragedy that befell Tyler, a 4-year-old shih tzu, in a dog grooming facility just last week. As a dog lover myself, what happened to the poor dog and his human family was so heart wrenching, more so with the thought that Tyler is gone forever.

I know for sure that all Catholics in our country are all keyed up with the upcoming visit of Pope Francis this coming week. Add to that the declaration of a three-day holiday by MalacaƱang, no less (I guess I am more excited with this one haha).

THE DAY I FELT VALUELESS WITH MY ROBINSONS SUPERMARKET VALUE PLUS CARD






Earlier this afternoon, I did some grocery shopping at the Berkeley Square branch of Robinsons Supermarket along Commonwealth Avenue. To give you a bit of personal history, I’ve been doing most of my grocery shopping there for the last five years or so, since it is conveniently located on the south bound lane of Commonwealth where I pass by everyday on my way home.
