Ever wondered how much a Goldilocks franchise costs?

Don’t wonder anymore because I got this information at the Goldilocks website.

If I have that money I would surely get a Goldilocks franchise. I love Goldilocks and I can eat it everyday.

Yesterday, we tried to order Pizza Hut online. The process went smoothly. I ordered 2 large Viva pizza in Hawaiian flavor. After submitting my order I noted the time. It was 4:38 PM.

I thought to order Pizza Hut online was only going to last 45 minutes but I was wrong. I waited for an hour until I couldn’t wait any longer. I knew the order didn’t push through because Pizza Hut was supposed to call me for the confirmation of my order. I received no such call. Finally, at about 5:30 I fell asleep.

I woke up a few minutes before 8 PM. I heard my husband talking to Pizza Hut Delivery on his cellphone. They were confirming our order at last. They said they had technical difficulties on their end that’s why it took 3 1/2 hours for them to call back. They confirmed the order and told us how much it would cost us and then asked how much we are going to pay. We said they should bring this amount of change because we have no exact amount for the payment.

The order arrived at about 45 minutes. I thought everything was going smoothly but to my dismay they don’t have any change. The delivery boy said it was noted on the paper that we have the exact amount of money for the payment.

Because of my experience I give Pizza Hut Order Online a rating of 1 out of 5. Don’t ever, ever order when you’re famished as you’ll never know when they will encounter another technical difficulty.

Finally, the Nominees for the 2010 Golden Globe has been released. Find out if your favorite movies and actors made it or didn’t.

I didn’t know what to expect when I watched The Blind Side. I was burning with fever but I was dying with boredom. If I knew it was so touching and I would cry I wouldn’t have watched this when I was sick. Nevertheless, it’s a five out of five for me and I recommend you to watch it.
The Blind Side is about the story of Michael Oher, a black homeless teenager who was recruited to play football for a Christian high school. Nobody knew he was homeless and that he had no clothes until Leann Touhly, Sandra Bullock, spotted him on the streets one cold night and found out he was homeless.
Leanne invited Michael home and let him sleep on the couch for the night. One small act of kindness led to another and another until Michael became part of the affluent but down to earth Touhly family and became a successful professional football player in his own right.
The Blind Side was based on a true story and it’s really a heartwarming one. The kindness that the Touhly family showed to one homeless teenager who had a bleak future made me cry not once but a lot of times. Michael Oher, in turn, reciprocated their love and became successful because of their guidance.

The UPCAT Results for school year 2010-2011 will be out soon.
The test is legendary as literally thousands of young hopefuls from all over the country have taken the test in the hope of studying at the most prestigious university in our country, University of the Philippines.
I, myself, have taken UPCAT more than a decade ago and until now I still remember it exactly as if it was only yesterday. I also remember how anxious I felt while waiting for the test results to come. I still had to go to UP then to personally check the results of the UPCAT.
For those who have taken the exam in the recent years you are so lucky to be able to access the results online.
The UPCAT Results for school year 2010-2011 is not out yet but keep your eyes and ears open as they will be posted anytime at the UPCAT website.
