I haven’t checked out the UPLB website for ages and there are already several news out, such as:
UPLB Centennial Logo Making Contest (deadline is Aug. 29, 2008)
Search for UPLB-CA’s Distinguished Alumnus/Alumna 2008
UPLB celebrates SyenSaya
Search for the new UPLB Chancellor
There are two Thai restaurants in Los Baños, but my favorite is Ning’s Thai. Tita Cora, a Filipina who married a Thai graduate student, owns the place. She also cooks the food and you can watch her as she cooks. There are a few selections, but the taste is consistent. My favorites are the Thai noodles called Pa-siu or Pad siew and the Chicken with nuts.

Ning’s Thai is open for lunch and dinner daily. It is located in front of the Agrix Bldg in Grove. There’s a coffee shop in front, too, which have been featured in the Philippine Daily Inquirer. I have yet to try this coffee shop, it looks promising and they even have a blog!
Anyway, to get back to Thai food, hope to see you there.

UPLB is abuzz these days with the search for the new UPLB chancellor. There are three nominees – Dr. Candida B. Adalla, former dean of the College of Agriculture; Dr. Felino Lansigan, professor of Statistics and member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which was awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize; and Dr. Luis Rey I. Velasco, the current Chancellor.
Who do you think should be the next chancellor?
And what do you think of this article from the Philippine Daily Inquirer: Choosing the next UPLB Chancellor?

Here are blogs and website about the tornadoes that hit UPLB today. It really caused quite a commotion as this seems to be a rare occurrence in Los Baños. There were damages incurred and hopefully things get back to normal soon.

Los Baños residents witnessed a tornado being this afternoon, between 4 to 5 PM. I have lived in Los Baños for a long time, and I think this is the first time it happened.
Some videos from YouTube:
Here is a report from ABS-CBN and a blog post (video and pictures) from Brain Bang. Check out also the safety measures recommended by the Red Cross in the event of a tornado.
