A cake and a winged demon

After a whole morning spent taking the Ateneo College Entrance Test, rumored the hardest college entrance exam in the Philippines, I took myself, a few friends and my camera phone out to the mall to drive all the stress away.

We had this cake made:


It reads: "Congratulation for Passing ACET! Happy Birthday Cha". Although the designer at Goldilocks missed a few letters and a punctuation, it basically said congratulations to us for being able to pass the test papers back to the examiners and being able to survive sitting down in a chair for more than 30 minutes without extra body-wide contortions. Cha is a good friend and she's going be a whole year older tomorrow. Cheers for her!

The worst enemy of a cake are utensils and hungry teenagers. Poor cake.

In famished times, no one is ashamed to be caught on
camera devouring 1,000 calories. Again, poor cake. 
The mall had a population density which is against the definition of matter. If you stand steady on the second  level, you can really feel the floor vibrate because of all the footsteps. Its the second day of the 3-day sale and people are trying to grab on what's left from yesterday's market. Tomorrow will be another manifestation of our ability to reason out purchase with seemingly once-in-a-lifetime discounts.


"Splice" is a movie about mixing of DNA and unfortunately, someone financed its release in the Philippines. Filipinos are very sensitive to linguistic errors and dictionaries disprove "specie". Species is species. No specie or specieses. How can a crew who made a movie about genetic engineering fail at a simple, taxonomic term?
