On 09 October 2009, I spotted a Kit Kat Bites ad inside the LRT 1 coach in the female section. I am personally amused and amazed with the creativity of this type of ads, which combine marketing and practicality at the same time.

On 08 October 2009, I took a MRT from the Cubao - Araneta Center station to the Shaw Blvd. station. However, after about a two hour meeting, I went back to the MRT station only to find out that due to a transformer problem by Meralco, the MRT has been halted.
