Each year, for the past few years and around this time of the year, the University of the Philippines Los Baños Triathlon Club has sponsored a Beginners’ and Fun Triathlon. So for those starting out, it’s a good baptism of fire and for the fun part, one can wear costume while racing.
Here’s a photo gallery: http://www.pbase.com/toper_porto/trantados with the participants’ colorful costumes.
Wish you were here, right?
From the UPLB Centenial website:
“The University has been gearing up for its Centennial in 2008. Preparations include projects that are reflective of the University’s niches, culture of excellence, diversity and distinctiveness.
One of the goals of the Centennial is to create opportunities for different university constituents to participate in the celebration. UPLB’s Centennial Theme Song Competition and Concert, is a venue where students, faculty, staff, alumni and other constituents can help the students and faculty to raise funds for their welfare. ”

I’ve always lament before that it is only during the Feb Fair that one can eat good barbecue when all the vendors converge in the field and where there is a different barbecue aroma every five meters or so. I want my barbecue the rest of the year! So where do you go to satisfy your cravings? LB Square! LB Square is not only night life and booze, nor just Thai food or live band on a Thursday night. At the entrance are several food stalls seeling mostly grilled foods, noodles and Japanese menu. Food is rather cheap and caters mostly to students. Pork barbecue is commonly served as well.
So one night, my friend and I went barbecue-hopping. We’ve always bought barbecue from Surigao chicken. Unfortunately, Surigao chicken was closing up so we tried the other stalls. So from one stall to the next, we tasted each one. Not that good though, most are too sweet. The verdict? It’s still Surigao Chicken which serves the best barbecue, not only pork but also chicken (of course), liver and gizzard.Dip in sweet soy sauce with loads of chili - it will surely satisfy your cravings any day!
The best way to eat it? Have it delivered at Jungle Java and drink the night away.
Got this from one of the Yahoo groups I belong:
