JACK DANIELS's / JACK COKE - an addictive drink

-
Jack Daniel’s has been my favorite drink for over 7 months now and I still don’t get it.  It might be the Jack and Cola mixture, as what we all know about coke, it’s very addictive (I’ve been a Coke addict since the 3rd grade).  I even have a bottle of Jack in my room! Talk about being alcoholic.   So I did some research. Wait.  I’m still about to do some research.  I can barely concentrate on doing so since my friends and I are having some of… wait for it.. JACK!
Okay, so far, this has been what Wikipedia has been able to tell me


  • Old No.7 : Also known as Black Label, this is the original Jack Daniels. 80 proof.
  • Gentleman Jack: Charcoal filtered mellowed twice, compared to once with Old No.7. 80 proof.
  • Single Barrel: Whiskey sourced from a single barrel in the company's warehouse. 94 proof.
  • Tennessee Honey:  A standard Jack Daniel's combined with a honey liqueur. 70 proof.
  • Green Label: A lighter-bodied bottling of Old No.7., not available everywhere. 80 proof.
  • Silver Select:  For export only. 100 proof.

So the whiskey basically started out with 45% alcohol and reduced it to 40%, which we now love today.   Now the corporation behind the Jack D. phenomena came up with a brilliant idea of introducing to the market the JACK COLA a ready-made cocktail mix made out of cola(COKE) and Jack that has become a popular trend in bars and clubs.  I guess this was thought of by the JACK D. people to provide convenience to the Jack Coke drinkers, like me.   Thank you Brown-Forma Corporation for whipping up something that I can easily grab in any 7/11

Personal Experience:

I was doing groceries with my dad when we came across the free taste/drink stand and guess what they were having customers taste for free, JACK COKE!  My dad knows how much I love JackCoke so he teased me into have a free shot, I didn't hesitate for a minute, we then ended up standing beside the free taste booth and gulping down a few more shots than expected.  I though he was going to grab a set of the Jack mix but sadly, we turned away and looked for my mom cause our eyes were too hazy to concentrate on doing the groceries, talk about Father-Daughter bonding.

PADRE DE PAMILYA Review and Reflection

-
Padre de Pamilya is an independent film by director Cesar Evangelista Buendia. It is a film that’s real and honest. It has the country’s culture of corruption and values and how it was able to affect Filipino families. It is also a film that reflect what the current times are doing to the Catholic Families in the Philippines. The film illustrated a father who loved his family that because of financial issues he was able to do  inappropriate actions just so he could satisfy the needs of his loved ones. He was tempted by money and what it could give to his family. Fortunately, his criminal act was caught by the media and was thus sent to jail. His children also suffered from social injustice. It was a different film from what is usually seen by people. It was something realistic and is currently happening to the country and in every Filipino household. The main question to be asked here is what does a person need to prioritize, the ones that he loves, such as his family, or God;...

Work's been wringing my neck lately and it's been a while since I actually had fun.  I've been homesick for quiet some time now.  Thank God for Hara S.! She's my current boyfriend right now, sorry Maic :) It's been a while since I got to hang out with my precious treasures in life and I was so ecstatic when Maica A. told me most of them were going to fly in to Cebu and spend the weekend with me! YEY!  Another weekend bliss :D HAPPY! July 27-29: Early Friday, Hara and I went to Marco Polo to have lunch for the Swiss Food Fest thing.  They gave out huge TOBLERONE bars!  We went straight to Radisson after to catch up on some work stuff. I then went to the Waterfront Launch at around 6pm with Hara and Jen.  The launching wasn't half bad since friends caught up with us and had some wine.  I still blame Hara for filling our table with a lot of glasses. I had to jug down a couple! haha. Around 10:30 I went to Kloe's hotel to pick her and...

Remember High school at Corpus Christi School?

-
There are those days in high school where you wake up one morning and realize, 'hey, wasn't I suppose to be studying last night?'. There were some days in high school when you found yourself staring at the teacher without thinking about what he was trying to teach you but what the world was about to offer you when the class is over. There are times when you'd think, "hmm, asa kha mi mag eat after class?" or those instances when your friends would invite you for tempura outside school and hog every spot to clumsily gobble down every savory inch of the sweet sauce that manong has been selling for a decade and that no vendor can compare to. There were those trying moments when everybody was getting more than two pierces and that's not just for girls, and you thought, "kasaban kha kong teacher nene?" Every inch of you're body would start to ich when you know you don't have anything to write on the blank answer sheet in front of you and tha...
