iced tea overload

'baka naman magka diabetes ka na niyan.'

that was what my manila co-worker quipped when i told him that i've been having na iced tea binge since i stepped foot on philippine soil last saturday.

who doesn't love iced tea? i know i do, especially the ones offered by the restos here in the pilipins. here's the deal. they sell iced tea for at least 40 pesos per glass. the bottomless ones go for 50. call me anything you want, but given that choice, i think everyone must go for the bottomless, right? maybe wrong. but me? i always end up ordering bottomless iced tea and on the average (so far), i've been chugging 4 to 5 glasses per resto. that's like 10 pesos a glass. not bad. hehehe.

side note: i remember reading in a blog somewhere about the bottomless iced tea craze. if i remember it right, the blog said that based on unofficial research (or studies, lol), the only you could actually "sulit" [when you feel that you one-upped the resto by consuming iced tea that's no longer healthy for you] the 50 pesos per glass you paid, is when you actually consume 25 glasses because each resto's cost of a glass of iced tea is only 2 pesos. or something. isn't that outrageous? no wonder my iced teas have been surprisingly sweet. oh well.

by the by, i discovered a new drink. it's called c2 and i am addicted. i've been drinking one bottle a day since i arrived. they're everywhere, and you can buy them at the friendly mini-stop stores in your friendly neighborhood. i know its green tea but this one's very good 'green tea'.




i just realized. maybe i should drink more c2 than the restaurant iced tea. green tea's healthy, right?
