earlier this day i brought josh (the bunso) with me to UP to do a few rounds around the academic oval. to facilitate his "jogging," i set the pace for him by brisk-walking a bit. however, the boy slowed down after a quarter-length, and by the halfway mark he was looking for a shortcut. well, at least he made it to three-quarters...
then we went to the tennis courts and waited for tim and ronald. that was when a text message informed me that no one will be bringing tennis balls along. good thing the club had some, and let us borrow them (heck, tennis without balls? that's frustrating).
josh was hilarious - his memory storage is limitless, much to the demise of his kuya; tim and ronald just kept on feeding him with the latest chismis about kuya gab, most of which even i am not aware of (i prefer not to disclose them here). but i had fun, and in the end, that was all that mattered. maybe i should bring him there again sometime else.
anyway, here's a nice site which i had knowledge of through mica, a vocabulary quiz formulated by the United Nations World Food Program; every answer you get correctly donates 10 grains of rice to the UN "to help end world hunger."
ten grains is almost negligible, see, but a hundred grains fills up only a fraction of the standard size cup. i tried counting and got up to five, maybe six hundred - but even that much was not able to account for a half-cup. they've collected a grand total 420 million grains as of yesterday; how many sacks would that make?
it's not enough to feed more than 85% of the world, but it's a good avenue to do your part in achieving the dream of eradicating poverty. hmmmm.
