Then this afternoon, I saw a clone version of it at CD-R King, purveyor of cheap (and sometimes unreliable) CDRs, DVDRs, and electronic gadgets. But I thought what the heck. How many ways can you go wrong with a card reader, anyway? And besides, it’s just P150. So I got one :D
Physically, the CD-R King reader is exactly the same as the Kingston. It’s not as small as the Greenhouse but it’s small enough at just about the size of the USB connector. It also has a protective plastic shell so you can just keep your microSD in the reader and you have a USB flash drive.
I saw another motorcycle riding dog today. It was a native dog dressed up in pink clothes(?) on top of a blue motorcycle. Coming from the previous sighting, I would’ve thought I’m going insane (as though I’m not already :P) but James who was riding shotgun saw it too.
Last night was the final session for the current module of my French class and the classmates decided to have dinner together at Cuillére at Serendra. The first thing I noticed was that plastered on the windows were the words “Cuisine et Patisserie Francaise, Glaces Artisanales, Aperitifs, Vins, Café Digestifs” which I think literally means French Kitchen and Bakery, Artistic Ice, Wine, Wine, and Digestive Coffee :P I don’t know whatever the hell it really means but with all those claims, the place just sounds so trying overly hard to be French.
But hey, I’m here for the food, right? Aside from the company, of course. Well, I had mushroom soup, steak, and crème brûlée and that didn’t improve my opinion. The mushroom soup was so-so. So was the steak (but in fairness, how many ways can you steak a cow?) . And the crème brûlée sucks. The taste does not reflect the cost. I don’t know where the cost came from but I suspect a load of it went into all that pretentiousness and the rest went into the location. One of the reasons why I’d rather go for restaurants that are off the beaten track.
