I first heard about your blog in our ...Hi Cecilia.<br /><br />I first heard about your blog in our TAU ALPHA FRATERNITY egroup and learned that you were the daughter of our fraternity's first faculty adviser at the UP College of Engineering.<br /><br />This is a nicely written article...makes me think about my own carefree childhood days. You remember Welch grape juice...but I remember the "dirty" ice cream (sorbetes) sold in those classic wheeled ice boxes pushed around Manila's streets by a sorbetero. In my childhood years of the late 70s, sorbetes cost only 25 centavos...but my frugal mother could only be pleaded upon to buy us these Filipino-style ice cream on rare occasions...mostly after Sunday mass. I don't think there's still sorbetes being sold in the streets in Manila now...the way it used too. Now...Pinoy kids would probably ask for the ice cream variety sold in supermarkets or convenience stores. Times have changed.<br /><br />By the way...the photo you posted with former Philippine President Magsaysay was cropped for some reason and he appears to be 4th from right rather than 5th from right as you described in your article. Maybe its just how the blog appears on my laptop...but worth checking.<br /><br />Boyet Damot, <br />BS Civil Engineering '91<br />TAU ALPHA '86<br /><br /><br />Boyet Damotnoreply@blogger.com
