What does it say that the early 90 mid 80s love team of Dawn Zulueta and Richard Gomez is the most kilig I feel in any current series?
Only in this case it is true. The downfall of movie making in the Philippines have caused good actors/actresses to lack practice or in the words of Bill Simmons the reps. This lack of reps is setting our standards lower because we do not have the benefit of knowing better days.
United Technologies: Inside The Numbers – Seeking Alpha
Based on the nine tests that United Technologies received on profitability, debt and capital, and operating efficiency, the company received eight passes out of nine; this is a strong grade for financial health. The only metric the company did not pass was the TL/A ratio. A decrease in the TL/A ratio implies that some company of the companys assets have been financed by debt.As United Technologies passed eight out of nine tests, this shows that United Technologies is very profitable, efficient and is using its assets to produce revenue. Based on the nine tests, overall, the company is showing strong results.

To Read::Awesome Books to Replace Your Favorite Cancelled TV Shows
FireflyThis ambitious genre mashup combined Wild West outlaws with spaceships, and spawned a huge fanbase. But despite getting a movie sequel, Joss Whedons beloved show is probably never coming back in any form other than comics and the occasional unofficial novel.The book substitute: Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks. We recommend this book, the first novel in the Culture series, a lot — but it really fits here. Like Firefly, Consider Phlebas is about someone whos on the losing side of a huge space war, in this case the war between the super-advanced Culture and the Idiran Empire. Our hero, Horza, opposes the Culture because he has philosophical disagreements with their utopian aims. And he winds up joining forces with a band of pirates and mercenaries on the good ship Clean Air Turbulence. This is the best methedone for Firefly withdrawal.

rePost:: Reading Club 2000 ::Ex Libris By: Ruel S. De Vera Philippine Daily Inquirer
For Guanlao, this is all he can ask for. The lessons learned from the 12 years spent watching over the Reading Club are extras. Foremost of this is trust. “It’s so hard to develop trust, but this has helped develop my trust and confidence in strangers.”
Another learning he has shared with people is how, despite the rise in the cost of living, some of the best things in life remains free. Guanlao recalls how people are shocked when they ask about the price of the books and he tells them they’re free. “They can’t believe it especially in a city like Makati. Then they take their pick and walk away happily into the sunset.”
In the spirit of the Reading Club, Guanlao himself owns no books of his own-all of them are available for other people to read and take. “If I keep it, it’s useless,” he says. “You read it and just tell me the story. That’s my attitude.”
This is Guanlao’s chosen devotion, to make sure that here, in this unexpected nook of the city, you can find a good book, leaf through it amid the smell of freshly-cooked fishballs and the machine-gun clatter of tricycles, and fall in love with books again. •
The Reading Club 2000 is located at 1454 Balagtas St., Barangay La Paz, Makati City. For inquiries, call 0915-7291526 or e-mail readingclub2000@yahoo.com
