Lantern Parade

UP Manila celebrates with it's own Lantern Parade every year. The lanterns may not be as glamorous as that of the Diliman campus, but the participants sure do make up for it with their atendance and enthusiasm. :-)

... Wendy's Mexican Melt is available as single, double, or big patty. It is like their Bacon Mushroom Melt, although instead of mushrooms it has lots of jalapeno. It is not too hot and it is something new to try at Wendy's.
... Taylor Hicks performed at Gloretta, Greenbelt and TriNoma malls recently, after his judging stint at Asian Idol. I was able to catch his performance at Greenbelt. It was "vintage" Hicks, soulful and animated. He still plays his harmonica during his performance. The show was well-attended and well-applauded.
