[Angus]

Hindi ako mayaman! Pangarap ko ang maging archer (sports at school), kaya kahit for one hour man lang ay iindulge ko ang sarili ko.

[Alexa]

Angus, I want to join you! Titipirin ko na lang allowance ko, hehe. Lifetime frustration kong itry ang archery!

[Angus]

YES! Kung dalawa lang tayo, let's go there earlier na lang (1:30-ish). What you think? Pero hintayin pa rin natin yung iba, baka may makijoin pa. :D

[Alexa]

Game! Matatapos naman NSTP ko ng 12 eh so surely by that time nakarating na ako :)

[Apokripos]

Nag-confirm na po ako sa event invite. :)

Still thinking about the archery thing.
I guess I'll cross the Bridge of Khazad-dûm when I get there. :)

[Maria Ella]

I am confirming. YEY! :D
kakain na lang ako kesa mag-archery. hay. ang mahal kasi. pero naiinggit ako.

[K.D.]

I have already confirmed. Gusto ko lang pong maramdaman ang mag-maybe sa invite kaya kunwari maybe ako. hak hak.

Kakain na lang din po ako kagaya ni Ella. Pede ko pang ma-share ang food ko sa mga gustong sumabay sa aking kumain hak hak.

Sa totoo lang. Gusto ko rin po ang archery. Kasi magaling po ako dyan. Kaso, parang prohibitive ang price. Baka po mahirapan tayong marating ang consumable at makapag-abono po ang organizer hak hak. Remember pizza at pasta ang food at veggies. Walang halo-halo doon hak hak.

[Angus]

Nakakain ba kayo ng upo for lunch???

Ay sorry po, hindi ko po kasi inaasahan yung confirmations sa event invite kasi kung sinu-sino minsan ang sumasagot ng YES dun. For me, the invite is more of a notification (and a formality of sorts). So mas sigurado kapag dito nagconfirm (and I think naging practice na rin naman sa previous F2Fs).

Actually, wala namang consumable amount na napagkasunduan. Kami pa nga ni Maria ang nag-insist. I think yung payment sa archery ay pwedeng iinclude sa consumable amount. Kung ayaw nila, papanain ko sila.

[Maria Ella]

Hala, Beejay... Php600 per hour is a big amount. Bangkera ako. andami mo nang makakain run. Tapos papalamon mo lang sakin 39-ers?

Php600 = enjoyment of archery + 39-ers na foodie? maygahd. magpapakalunod na lang ako sa gulay. isa pa, sinubukan ko na ang archery sa Centris. at hindi ko siya gustong sport, mabigat ang bow. :P

[Tina]

Angus: Gusto ko makita na panain mo sila, haha! Uy, pero I don't mind vegetarian stuff. :)

Beejay: Onting peer pressure pa. :)) Maniningil muna ko ng may utang sakin ha, para maka-archery ako. :D

Jzhun: off topic -- pasend nung Elven bread, try natin gawin. :)

[Ace]

naku yan pala ang magiging problema ko. d ako kumakain ng gulay! oh my gulay!

[K.D.]

Ace, onga. Mas masarap ang KARNE hak hak.

[Ace]

Depende siyempre sa karne, ayoko ng bilasang karne... hehehe!

[K.D.]

Akala ko isda lang ang nabibilasa? KARNE rin pala! hak hak

[Ace]

hehehe! oo nga pala! basta gusto ko fresh :)

[K.D.]

Ikaw na! Bagong katay!

[Ace]

may sasabihin sana ako pero d yata appropriate dito(R18 or X rated?) hehehe!

[Veronica]

Angus, confirmed ako, pati sa archery. Makasubok lang kahit minsan. Haha :D

[Apokripos]

All right, I'll find the book in my book pile tonight and send the recipe to you.

I hope the ingredients are available locally.

Thanks! ^_^

[Angus]

YAY! Oh see, pati si Miss Ronnie hahabol sa London Olympics. Regarding the Indian pana, isn't there something naughty about it?

BTW, hindi naman literal na gulay lahat ng sineserve nila. Like yung ham nila sa pizza, looks like ham, tastes like ham. May mga meat substitutes sila (I don't know what you call them).

[K.D.]

rubberized vegetables parang Bodhi lang hak hak

[Louize]

Veggie meat or gluten.

[K.D.]

Chemically treated hindi natural. Doon na lang ako sa ginisang gulay hak hak. All natural. All fresh (parang si Ace lang).

I'm not sure about Gandiva's veggie meat, but not all veggie meat are chemically processed. The AUP at Cavite process their own veggie meat, so I'm sure all natural sila. My paternal side is Seventh-day Adventist kasi kaya I know. They process pati soya milk and choco nila. Once in a while, my cousins remember to send me some.

[Angus]

Miss Louize, can you tell a chemically treated veggie meat by merely tasting it?

[DC]

Hi! This is still a maybe for me, but I'll prepare a verse nevertheless. I'll confirm hopefully by next week. Thanks :)

[Maria]

Peeps, reminder to those who haven't sent their verses yet:

DISCUSSION ACTIVITY

The power of myth is very strong in Tolkien's works. According to Sparknotes, one of the conventions of myth is that it describes a past that is more glorious than the present.

Also, the characters will burst into songs, either of joy or lament, throughout this whole book.

I only need a VERSE from a song (any song) that best describes one moment from your past, whether good or bad. :)

PM me your verses until next Monday, June 11.

Ung explanation on why you chose that verse, sa mismong F2F na ang discussion.

[Louize]

Angus wrote: "Miss Louize, can you tell a chemically treated veggie meat by merely tasting it?"

They differ based on the filler used. Some have potatoes, mushrooms, cheese, and eggs- alone they have taste na. Some are exclusively vegan, pure soya- sometimes additives are needed for taste. That is why people say mas mataas ang sodium content nila.

I can't literally say the difference, but if you are a veggie eater you can tell.

Bakit may "finally" si Charles. Naroon sya sa Jane Eyre. Dalawa kaming turista noon na naka-sunglasses! Tsaka parang... andoon sya sa F2F? Tamad akong mag-back read.

[Tina]

Ibang Charles yun, KD. :) Charles Flipreads to. :)

[Ace]

pagpasensiyahan niyo na ako kung di ako makakasagot sa F2F ha! 2 years ago ko na pala nabasa ito at wala naman akong planong mag reread nito kasi masakit sa ulo tong book na to! hehehe!

[K.D.]

Ah, okay. Iba pa ang Charles na yon. :)

Ace, hahaha. Oo na. Naiintindihan kita :)

[Ace]

nung natapos ko to bilib na bilib na ako sa sarili ko... hehehe!

[Celina]

Hi Angus, confirming my attendance. But might have to pass on the archery.:)
