A Retro Resto

The clock says it's some minutes past one, yet we were headed to a place for food. It's a little late for lunch and very early for some afternoon munching.
He told me he knew this place. A simple one. Nothing fancy. So I lowered down my expectations, a little happy since *whisper* I'm low in moolah. We hopped off the jeepney a block before Chinese Commercial School. Passed by amused people dining in Jollibee. Passed by Unitop and a couple of bakeries. Before I can even ask, he signaled for me to come in for we've arrived.
He was right, you could almost not notice that a burger joint exists at that corner. Oh, okay, I thought, until the details caught my attention. Framed Broadway posters ranging from Les Miserables to Wicked (the book with the lime green edges) surround the place. A bar sits beside the cashier.
I had a cheeseburger with mustard and he had a double patty with All the Works, which entails an additional lettuce and tomatoes in your burger. The burger prices ranged from Php 30 to Php 65. An additional mustard and All the Works will cost you an additional Php 3.00.
Too bad they don't have fries. Burger without fries is like lipgloss without the gloss. This resto could make it big. What other places here in Iloilo city offers a 1960's feel? If only they could push some advertising, then I bet they could make it big. And one thing that I can suggest if they really want attention -- make the waitresses dress as pin-up girls.
And I guess their popularity would soon grow. Some Ilonggo bloggers have already featured them to my surprise. I tried searching the net for Glor's and here are two blogs that wrote about their humble burgers.
I happen to know the owner(s) of this other blog. One of them is my high school classmate and the other two are classmates of my boyfriend.


Goodluck to Glor's!

My First Geeky Post

Earlier this afternoon, while sitting in one of those lecture rooms with my mind not really on the lecture for some reasons, I thought of doing a post about a very simple Prime Number Generator program, which was originally made by me, including the algorithm used. Visual Basic was my program of choice. Because I was bored in one of the lectures that I was attending, I formulated my own algorithm, just to keep my eyes wide open. Because, I don't understand or refuse to understand the complex way of determining a prime number (like the Sieve of Eratosthenes and Bit Array Improvement), I used the definition of a prime number as my basis for my algorithm. A prime number is a natural number which has exactly two distinct natural number divisors -- one and itself. From there, I hit it.  I thought of having just one input and this is the number of prime numbers ( H ) that you would want to display. Pressing the pushbutton would show the H prime numbers in a textbox. Wha...

The Bad and The Happy

Hello, online and offline friends! Stalkers, you're very much welcome too. :) Here's a happy picture: [ my instagram pics ] [1] Me in sweater, drinking my Macadamia-flavored coffee, [2] Me in sweater eating pistachio ice cream. Yes, it was taken at work on the same day and yes I consume coffee and ice cream in a single day because I don't mind the calories. [3] Waffles with glazed bacon, banana, nutella and buttercream @ Hatch 22 [4] Twelve cupcakes at MOA with boo before I left off for Ireland Know why I've given you that? I just want to make sure you'd smile before I'd tell you my rants. Hah! I have been MIA because all my energies been drained out because: a. My websites have malware and have been suspended by iPage. I honestly didn't know what caused them so I was like WTF, but in a calm way. This means that I can start over. I only have like 5 posts in my other blog but almost a thousand subscribers. The subscriber part kind of gets me ...

A History Not So Long Ago

Image
I have made a pact with myself a few months ago to read all my electronic and communications books for the upcoming ECE board exams next year. However, when I got to the part,FAQs: The Internet & WWW, I had a hard time concentrating when my laptop with an internet connection is just a mere 4 feet away from me. Walking away from my boring study table and sitting on the shining throne sitting in front of my Compaq would be effortless. Congratulate me though, I finished reading the entire chapter before I plunge into this sweetest escape, the Internet. But first, I want to give credits to a bunch of geniuses for providing humanity an intangible space, in which they can boldly do incredible things. First off, to the US Military, for developing and deploying communications networks,one of which is the ARPANET, which is, in turn, believed to be the precursor of the Internet. To the National Science Foundation (NSF) for administering the research of the Internet. Basically, the Inte...
