    Hi! I got interested in your blog :) I think we have the same passion for food. My friend and I just had Ivan ManDy’s Big Binondo Food Wok two Saturdays ago. Then my family and I had a food trip last Sunday in Pampanga :) Hope to read more of your food trips :)

    Did Mark Twain really issue a death sentence to the adjective?

    June 1, 2009

    Dear Fellow Communicators in English,

    Did Mark Twain really issue a death sentence to the adjective? Did George Orwell’s masterpiece, 1984, spell the death of him? How did a pickle bottle get Jose Carillo into the English business? And what’s this new political movement that wants the Philippines to have an “education president”?
