Last year, we never thought we’ll keep doing this silly thing called blogging but maybe it’s not so silly because we kept doing it. Now we’re one year old. Does this mean that this blog is now an adult? Or did it reach adulthood six months ago?
Anyway, we were thinking of coming up with some tidbits about this blog (visits, page views, where you are located, etc) but we’re lazy because it is a Saturday morning. Maybe we will post those tidbits in the coming days.
First, we’d like to give a shout out to our regular blog visitors from Canada. Hello kailiyans! Can you send us some maple syrup?
Now, this video features two of our kailiyans in Manitoba who are having fun pretending to be fashion models. Mind you, they do a very fitting portrayal of the silliness of those real models. The video is funny enough but, judging from the reaction of the people watching these guys, it seems like it is much much funner if you were actually there.
So let’s continue our role as the self-appointed arbiter of what is good and what is bad (yeah we’re taking the role very very seriously), by giving a Boon “You’re Doing Good” Award to the Bibaknets Educational Subsidy Fund (BESF). If you still haven’t heard of the BESF then you should visit their website. But don’t just visit, maybe you should also support their projects particularly their educational program.
Anyway, why are we giving BESF a Boon Award? Because it is helping to send some of our kailiyans to school that’s why.

If this video does not make you smile, we don’t know what will. Hehe.

This is for the little geek in you crying out for facts and statistics. The data is from the 2003 Benguet Socio-Economic Profile which we downloaded from the Benguet provincial website. The files appear to have been removed from said site so email us if you want a copy [in PDF].
Please note that these figures may have changed since four years have passed after the Profile was written. But then again, considering the slow pace of change in the Philippines, maybe these figures have remained basically the same.
