Taiwanese Peppered Beef with Smooth Egg at Jolly Bubble

-

I had written my personal review of Jolly Bubble as a Taiwanese-style coffee shop. During the pandemic before clearance, I would usually order their bento boxes (read my review here). A recent item that was added to their menu was called Taiwanese peppered beef with smooth egg. In Chinese, it's called 黑椒牛肉配滑蛋 (Pinyin: Hēi jiāo niúròu pèi huá dàn). I'm sharing a few Mandarin tidbits here and there since I'm trying to learn more of the language. 

It's under premium bento so it should be kind of pricy. Since it's a coffee shop so expect a higher price (read why here). It should be around PHP 250.00. A price that would burden me in my student days but not in my professional days. The size is justifiable since after eating it--I simply am in full mode. I drank it together with pineapple citron oolong tea.

So far, I believe this is my current favorite. Sure, I do love their mapo tofu with egg. I also love their chicken g-pai meals. I think this one is a must-try for beef eaters.

Singapore vs. Philippines in School Shootings Prove Systems DO Shape Behavior

Some time ago, I wrote about two topics. The first topic was about school insults and the broken windows theory . The second was all about school violence in connection with the broken windows theory . Before August ends, I thought about the nationwide DepEd policy for an active-threat drill. The news from one school shooting after the other makes me think that school shootings aren't a joke. Sure, there are very controlled school environments like Bethany Christian School, where I remember our disciplinarian was like the late Miriam Defensor-Santiago, and that we had a very orderly drill. I had two classmates who were usually boisterous, but during that fire drill , they were at their most behaved; they didn't have to be warned; they simply complied because of the school environment.  The update on DepEd's nationwide active threats is a good thing . This is really something that makes sense: DepEd Undersecretary Malcolm Garma told a Senate hearing Thursday that the departm...

Continuous Improvement is Better Than Expecting Sudden Perfection

-

I found this meme on Facebook. Fortunately, there's already an attribution on the picture. In my case, I prefer to say, "Continuous improvement is better than expecting sudden perfection." It's because perfectionism is lethal, and we're all but human beings. As the midterm elections come in, there are still people who may either be (1) reminiscing that "perfect leader" (ex. Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr., Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III, Rodrigo Roa Duterte, etc.) or (2) still expecting the perfect leader.  It's sad some people still believe in the old lie repeated all over again, "It's not the system that's the problem. It's the people that's the problem." They still wait for this "grand glorious leader". That's why I often joke on Facebook saying, "Why don't you create this perfect leader so I too may follow him to victory!" Of course, there's no perfect leader, and trying to genetically engineer that...

IBON's Pinoy Pride Economics Mindset in Arguing Against Pax Silica

-

As debate rages about Pax Silica, from outright opposition to taking a negotiated stance , I want to write more about it. This time, I decided to look again at the IBON Foundation's logic. A recent article by the IBON Foundation, written by Jose Enrique "Sonny" Africa , asks, " Whose industrialization is it anyway? " It would be time to tackle what IBON just said. This is a rather daring move because the highest educational attainment I have is an MBA, and I'm even starting to wonder even today, "Was my MBA worth the fee?" because I only learned how to invest in foreign stocks while opening a GCash account because I wanted to order shawarma. Right now, I feel like I'm actually learning more blogging here than pursuing a PhD whic might make my brain rot due to how schools prioritize grades over learning.  Now, going on to the topic, I'd like ot focus on Africa's logic here as an average citizen . Just because I didn't graduate in eco...
