It’s my mom’s 57th birthday, so Jayc and I cooked for her–a very simple tomato and chili pasta with pan-seared chicken.
Happy birthday, ma! We love you.

As the car in front of mine overtook onwards, a weird-looking pedicab emerged in view–a block of text on bright red paint caught my eye enough for me to tailgate this cruising balut vendor.
A balut or balot is a fertilized duck embryo that is boiled and eaten in the shell. It is commonly sold as streetfood in the Philippines.

We see how funny and ingenious our fellow vendors could be (also seen ubiquitously on jeepney decorations).
The transcription:
R3S-Balutan
Fragile
“Distancia Amigo”
Loaded with balut eggs
Sorry po sa kaunting delay!
The English transcription:
R3S-Balutan
Fragile
Distance, my friend
Loaded with balut eggs
Sorry for the slight delay!

Friday night–a badly-needed chillax sent us to Cubao Expo. Had dinner at Alan’s Grill and dessert at Sweet Ecstasy.

It’s easy to center-align a bunch of text:
[code lang=”html” title=”HTML”]
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.</p>
[/code]
[code lang=”css” title=”CSS”]
p {text-align:center;}
[/code]
But how do you center-align a list such as a ul or an ol with children set as inline (or side by side)?
Simply set the parent (ul) to text-align:center and the children (li) to display:inline-block
[code lang=”html” title=”HTML”]
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
[/code]
[code lang=”css” title=”CSS”]
ul {
list-style:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
text-align:center;
}
li {display:inline-block;}
[/code]
This is useful for footer links displayed in mobile browsers wherein you want texts to center-align.

Avoid making the user choose from too many options.
Do: set default options for users to choose from–ideally the most common and provide a way for them to choose what is not initially presented.
Avoid: presenting a wide array of options that the interface gets cluttered and the users confused on which to choose.
Choose the most common/natural path for the users.
Do: set default actions in the context of the task while still making other actions available.
Avoid: cramming available actions altogether; provide importance to actions which are more contextual than others.
