                    [Summary] => 
Mission accomplished!
The Gin Blossoms, one of my favorite alternative rock icons in the ‘90s – who earlier claimed that they didn’t know what to expect from the Philippines – came, saw and conquered such uncertainty during their concert at the Araneta Coliseum last Nov. 18 followed by another concert in Cebu City the next day. About 8,000 fans packed the big dome in Quezon City while 4,500 watched the band performed at the Waterfront Cebu.

Tracking where and when cherry blossoms, or sakura, will bloom is a serious business here. They are monitored like crops that need to be harvested, while the Japan Weather Association (JWA) provides updates on dates of bloom.

Catholic radio station dxND reported yesterday that the arms and legs of at least 199 inmates became swollen after they ate banana blossoms cooked in coconut milk five days ago.

Every year, it blooms with unceasing regularity and my neighbors would gape, mesmerized in worshipful awe by the multitude of its flowers.
