At twelve noon, a man dressed in plaid shirt, white suit, and sneakers entered the Bubba Gump restaurant. Hey, it’s Forrest Gump! No, not Tom Hanks, silly. I said, it’s Forrest Gump!!!
Forrest Gump, portrayed by Steve Webber, arrived in Manila to help promote the exciting new dishes and to kick off the first year anniversary celebration of Bubba Gump Trinoma. A throng of bloggers were treated to a hearty lunch consisting of appetizers called “Dynamite Shrimp”, grilled shrimp salad with garlic-cilantro dressing, spicy jambalaya pasta, mashed potatoes, corn on cob, fried chicken, and a dessert called “That Chocolate Thing.”

Shrimps. Care for more shrimps? Ah yes, with those lovely gargantuan shrimps calling our names, we couldn’t help but line up for seconds. Just imagine how i managed to sneak a couple more of those babies on my plate. Ok, ok. I have anti-histamine on hand, just in case. This girl is armed and ready!
Forty five minutes, and several plates later. Fellow bloggers, namely, Shari, Janine, Junel, and Robby shared a serving of “That Chocolate Thing” with me. What’s that chocolate thing, you ask? Well, it’s flourless chocolate cake, topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and drizzled with raspberry sauce. Pure yumminess! Once you taste it you’ll forget its name, heck, you’ll even forget yours!
that chocolate thing
Perhaps Shari had too much of that pure yummy goodness that she temporarily lost it and forgot that the suitcase she was carrying was actually not hers. Good thing Forrest Gump aka Steve Webber noticed her, before she could dash out the door with his suitcase. Haha. We all had a good laugh at that.
To show that Forrest was a good sport, he gave the bloggers time for some photo op with his suitcase. Yes, he’s definitely kind just like in the movie. As for his suitcase, well it became an instant hit with the bloggers. And that’s all i have to say about that!

“Breathe and appreciate the gift of air. It’s beautiful and free.”
Sweetness!! Now, here’s my attempt at returning the virtual treat. I know i’m no photographer like my favorite cousin, but hey, you can’t stop a girl from sending some love back.
Cuz Joel:
These photos were taken this week using a jurassic and bulky 5 megapixel digital camera. Some of the guys at the Nintendo Wii Bloggers Party introduced me to Toy Photography. I find it interesting and fun! Now if i can only find my brother’s G.I. Joe action figures. Hmm….

Did you know that 60% of filipinos do not own a Bible? That 70% of both teenagers and young professionals do not own a Bible? If we are to take the Bible as our ultimate guide to life, then this is not a very good sign.
In a survey done by the Philippine Bible Society not long ago, they gathered a collective reaction why these young people do not own a Bible. Here’s what they found out:
1. We don’t know where to start/how to read it.
2. We don’t understand our Bible version.
3. We do not see the relevance of the Bible in our lives.
For a country considered as a Christian nation, where there is bountiful supply of Bibles, i find these reasons very alarming. The issue here is no longer on the availability of the Bible, but the problem is the lack of advocacy and leaders that will teach this generation the importance of reading the Word of God.
It is in response to this reality that the Philippine Bible Society (PBS), together with the National Council of Churches in the Philippines (NCCP), the Philippine Council for Evangelical Churches (PCEC), the Catholic Bishop’s Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), through its Episcopal Commission on Youth (ECY), have rallied together to bring about the Youth Explode Series.
Youth Explode 2008 will happen on November 29 (Saturday) at the Folk Arts Theater. Filipino youth, regardless of denomination, will gather as one to fire up God’s Word among their generation. Come and let us join the battlecry of our youth!
Fast facts:
Did you know that the word Bible is from the Greek biblia, which is the plural form of biblion? Biblion is the diminutive of biblos (book), from byblos (papyrus). In ancient times papyrus was used to make the paper from which books were manufactured.
The words biblion and biblia are used in the Old Testament and the Apocrypha for the Scriptures (Daniel 9:2; 1 Maccabees 1:56; 3:48). By about the fifth century AD the Greek Church Fathers applied the term biblia to the whole of the Christian Scriptures. Later the word passed into the western church, and although it is really a plural neuter noun, it came to be used in Latin as a feminine singular. Thus “The Books” became by common consent “The Book.”
