Red Ribbon Coffee and Bakeshop
Posted On Monday, June 28, 2010 at by Sun Jun
It was raining hard this afternoon and my stomach was grumbling. Afraid of getting drenched in the thunderstorm, I had to settle for the nearest restaurant just below our condominium unit. But I didn't mind because that store happens to be a Red Ribbon! I love their meals especially the Salisbury steak and the Pan-grilled pork chops. And so I hurried downstairs while contemplating what to order. When I got to the store and was standing in front of the cashier already, I was surprised with what she told me. She said that starting last June 1st, they are now no longer serving rice meals and pastas. She said that they're now specializing in coffee, cakes, and pastries alone. I asked if this would hold true for all Red Ribbon outlets, she said that there would still be some that would serve rice meals but I got the impression that most outlets would be converted to this new business format.
Jollibee Foods Corporation acquired Red Ribbon in October 2005. Could this be Jollibee's answer to McDonald's McCafe? There's quite a variety of coffee drinks available in Red Ribbon but I honestly haven't tried any of it.
I'm posting this so you wouldn't be shocked the next time you crave for your favorite Red Ribbon pasta or rice meal and find out that they're no longer serving them. My hungry stomach had to settle for something else, but it did get its craving for Red Ribbon's Chocolate Mousse! Yummy!
"Bagong Simula" sa Bagong Taon
Posted On Thursday, January 1, 2009 at by Sun JunBagong Simula is the official theme song of the BAYANIJUAN Foundation launched by ABS-CBN last June 12, 2008 (Independence day). The foundation "aspires to awaken the giving heart in every Filipino, and to encourage each one, to extend a helping hand so that every man, woman and child in the Philippines has a chance to make all of his or her dreams come true."
Wow! That is some vision. I will be supporting this foundation in the coming years. I hope you guys will do the same. "Walang Iwanan sa bayanijuan!"
[Kevin Roy]
Parang isang gabing walang katapusan
Sa bawat mesa, asin lagi ang ulam
umaalog sa alkansya pisong pinagpawisan
Batang nakahubad kumot ang lansangan
[Yael Yuzon]
lupaing kinalbo minsa’y nadidilig
Ng dugo sa away ng kapatid sa kapatid
[Mark Abaya]
Sa kalagayang ito tayo ay nakagapos
Parang awa sana ay dito magtapos
(CHORUS)Todo na to!
Liparin ang langit na bughaw
Liparin ang langit na bughaw
Pagningningin mga tala at araw
Mamumulang muli ang silangan
sa bagong simula ng ating bayan
[Kitchie NAdal]
wag lang maulit kapalarang kay pait
wag magpabaya wag kang manahimik
wag kang manlalamang, wag kang manggigipit
wag magkanya-kanya, magkaisang bisig
[Yeng Constantino]
Pag malasakit ito’y kabayanihan
gawin mo ano mang makayanan
kalagayan ng baya’y sumasama lamang
kung walang gagawin tayong mamamayan
(Chorus)Todo na to!
Liparin ang langit na bughaw
Liparin ang langit na bughaw
Pagningningin mga tala at araw
Mamumulang muli ang silangan
sa bagong simula ng ating bayan
[Placid]
Liparin ang langit na bughaw
Pagningningin mga tala at araw
Mamumulang muli ang silangan
sa bagong simula ng ating bayan
[Tugma]
[Narration]
[Narration]
Ipakita natin sa ating mga magulang
mga kapatid kaya natin to
isang subok pa, sabay sabay walang kokontra,
(CHORUS)Todo na to!
Liparin ang langit na bughaw
Liparin ang langit na bughaw
Pagningningin mga tala at araw
Mamumulang muli ang silangan
Mamumulang muli ang silangan
sa bagong simula ng ating bayan
Bagong simula ng ating bayan

I am simply in love with the foundation's name. "Bayanijuan" rhymes with "Bayanihan", more over, it can mean "bayan ni juan", and at the same time "bayani si juan" as well.
