mostly about edible stuff

I ate in the cafeteria in Ateneo a while ago and I must say, they still have affordable meals. I had a…I cant remember what it was. Wow, it must have been an unmemorable meal. But what I do remember was it was cheap and it was decent. It’s something I could eat every other day or maybe everyday if I was short on cash (which is everyday recently). It cost me P70, well P79 because of the extra rice but that’s already inclusive of an “upsized” drink, more specifically iced tea. In Rodic’s, for P75 I would have 2 servings of rice but that does not include any drink. The cheapest and at the same time easily accessible place to eat (for me) in UP can cost as low as P50 but that doesn’t include any drink. So a meal with a drink plus extra serving of rice in the UP cafeteria im talking about would probably have the same price (P79) but im comparing it with the cafeteria in ateneo. I was expecting that I wont be able to buy a cheap meal in there. Its been four years so I thought the price of the meals have increased or wont be as cheap as the meals in UP. It may not be selling the tastiest meals but its still nice to know there are still those who have affordable and decent meals.

A lot of the stalls were closed a while ago so im not sure if the stall that sells quesadillas is still there. i always ate them quesadillas before the polsci class in faura. and sometimes during class, i step out as if i was going to the restroom but i was actually going to get myself a quick meal. i liked its salsa.  

I noticed this CLAYGO poster in the cafeteria. Its supposed to mean “clean as you go”. I think. And I tried doing that a while ago since that’s what we do in the UP Law Cafeteria and well, there was this guy who I think cleans the tables just told me that I don’t have to do the cleaning up. I guess the claygo thing only applies to meals in disposable containers. That’s still a good thing because it’s considerate to the next user of the table. I don’t remember doing that back in college. I just leave my mess after im done eating. 

I also noticed the vending machine in SEC still has Tofiluk and Safari. I always pick Safari whenever I want something sweet from that particular vending machine (the same way i always want a KitKat when i play billiards which i think was P8 back then, i dont know how much it is now). I also remember that I always picked cherry coke in the Soc Sci vending machine. I didn’t notice if it was still there and I doubt there’s still cherry coke in any of the vending machines inside the campus.  

I didnt get to drop by ISO. i would like to see what they are serving now. back in my freshman year, i think i tried all their sizzling plate meals. and during the latter college years, i always ordered their mongolian dish, with extra rice. and i always saw half of the chinita twins studying there. which reminds me of the chinita lady who asked me a while ago how to go to ateneo while i was waiting for a jeepney near romulo hall in UP. i just came from ateneo during that time and in all my years in UP, it was the first time someone asked me for directions on how to go to ateneo. and i think she's the second most attractive female stranger driver who asked me for directions. the most attractive was the dead ringer for bianca gonzales who also sounds like bianca gonzales asking for directions on how to go to the fine arts building. the only reason i think she was not bianca gonzales was because her cheeks werent as smooth.
