Chocolate Kiss turns 12

For over 10 years, The Chocolate Kiss Cafe has been offering lovely cakes and great food in a friendly setting, perfect for families and barkada get-togethers.

The UP Diliman branch has become part of the lives and memories of many regular diners.

Mention The Chocolate Kiss Café to any UP Diliman student and for sure the name is familiar to them. Mention it to alumni and most likely they have fond memories of dining at this cafe: whilst busy cramming for an exam, group-studying with blockmates, or taking out a new friend on an unofficial first date. With the raves from within the campus, Choco Kiss soon enough was invaded by people outside college life, seeking for some sweet treats and savory comfort food.

This month, Choco Kiss proudly turns 12 years in operation. Their life, indeed, has been sealed with a kiss.

Chocolate Kiss Cafe's iced tea has been raved about for years. Twinings Infusions Iced Tea (P70) is a best-seller, and I agree that it's something to come back for in Choco Kiss. The brewed tea squeezed with calamansi is served chilled with ice. It comes with a jar of gooey syrup for you to blend with your refreshing drink and mix to your taste. Can't go wrong with that.

Their cakes may also be ordered to be in heart shape instead of the traditional round, and it will cost the same. Customize messages if you wish, let Choco kiss give your cookies and cakes some statements of love with sweet icing. And if you want to keep it simple and traditional, all their timeless cakes are still available, such as the Classic Chocolate Cake (Mini-P190), and the whimsical Devil's Food Cake (Mini-P140).


The Chocolate Kiss Cafe is at the Ground Floor and 2nd Floor of Ang Bahay ng Alumni, UP Diliman, Q.C. It is also found at 91 A. Roces Avenue, corner Sct. Tobias Street, Q.C.

Remembering Evelio Javier

Some of our heroes may have been more brilliant or achieved more greatly, but I find it hard to think of any who lived more purely and more single mindedly than Evelio... his commitment to democracy, to social justice and to a life among the poor in our land. Februay 11, 2009 in Panay Island, Philippines is Evelio B. Javier Day. It is the 22nd Anniversary of the assassination of Evelio Javier. It was a stunning and decisive event towards our eventual liberation from Martial Law later that February 1986. Many in our Ateneo community remember meeting Evelio’s body at the airport two days later, and the Mass and the long march from Baclaran to the Ateneo de Manila on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1986. We had a Mass at sunset in the field beside the Blue Eagle Gym and ended the Mass with the electrifying experience of hearing Fr. Jose A. Cruz, S.J. read for the first time in public the letter of the CBCP on the elections. Evelio B. Javier was born to Everardo Autajay Javier of Hamtic and ...

The Moonflowers

It's as if the dark, which had before just been context, gave to vulnerability a permission, almost: fleshy saucers of spilled cream, so many parchment fists, unfisting; and now, in pieces, the delicate mask of an indifference offered radically up against what, each time, seems as unthinkable, as unexpected, as when, in the long dream of retraction, that sea that is finally not a sea, but what else to call it, begins again its shifting, and though to every push of the will forward there's something noble—which is to say, something lonely, also—it's too late.

Discovery

I believe in the great discovery. I believe in the man who will make the discovery. I believe in the terror of the man who will make the discovery. I believe in the pallor of his face, the nausea, the cold sweat on his lip. I believe in the burning of the notes, the burning of them ashes, the burning of every last one. I believe in the scattering of the numbers, the scattering of them with no regret. I believe in the quickness of the man, the precision of his movements, his uncoerced free will. I believe in the smashing of the tablets, the pouring out of the liquids, the extinguishing of the ray. I assert that all will work out, and that it will not be too late, and that things will unfold in the absence of witnesses. No one will find out, of that I am sure, neither wife nor wall, not even bird, for it may well sing. I believe in the stayed hand, I believe in the ruined career, I believe in the wasted labor of many years. I believe in the secret taken to the grave. For me these words ...
