If you are shopping for furniture particularly tables and chairs, you might want to check out Contract Furniture Company. Although the company specializes on selling furniture for restaurants and the food service industry, it actually offers a wide furniture collection which includes banquet tables, bar height tables, dining armchairs, rocking chairs, lounge seats, and many others. In fact, it has wrought iron furniture should you happen to be looking for one.
Contract Furniture has showrooms in California and New York which you can visit after setting an appointment with them. For those outside of those two states, you can view the company’s product line and place your order through the company website.

03.07.08Rescue Me
We got to give props to Baguio Senior Fire Officer John Ullibac who wore his bahag and played the role of a disaster victim during this disaster consciousness training held last year. We give props too to Paeng Valencia who is “rescuing” Officer Ullibac because he looks much smaller than the “victim” and yet he was able to do his job. By the way, the officer must be the happiest “victim” ever. But then again, you should be happy when you are rescued from a burning building. :-)
You can find more photos of this event at Baguiogallery.com. Photo courtesy of Art Tibaldo.

03.07.08Quote of the Day
“It is ironic that this administration is asking the governors to declare support yet it could not act on simple requests like the tax my province is entitled to. This administration appears to have a selective amnesia.”
“My support for [Ms Arroyo] is conditional. For the moment, I am for the rule of law. I, too, would like to know the truth. For most Ifugaos, the issue of supporting [Ms Arroyo] in this troubled times depended on Malacañang’s willingness to address my constituents’ concerns.”
– Ifugao Governor Teddy Baguilat. Read the Inquirer report here.
This is how you play the game, folks. If you support a president who never received the mandate of the people, at the very least, you should demand something in return that redounds to the benefit of your constituents. Hindi yung blind support lang na wala kang mapapala.
It’s a good thing that the Ifugao governor is using his support for Gloria as a card to ask for the taxes that should rightfully go to Ifugao. In an ideal world however, those taxes should have been given to Ifugao from the very beginning. And in an ideal world, Gloria should not be sitting in Malacañang.
