the ride of your life: who's driving?

Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world
- ralph waldo emerson



What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder, because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.

burgers that kill the pocket.....

see this ? this is the world's most expensive burger so far at a whooping $200>>convert it to Peso, it's almost P8500! Crazy! how could something so perishable be so expensive!! " The Burger" is a special treat from Burger King served only in London once a week...

The burger is made of fine ingredients include Wagyu beef, white truffles, Pata Negra ham slices, Cristal onion straws, Modena balsamic vinegar, lambs lettuce, pink Himalayan rock salt, organic white wine and shallot infused mayonnaise in an Iranian saffron and white truffle dusted bun...

Philippine version

the Wagyu burger found in Manny O's resto in Hilton Hotel in Cebu cost around $35..way cheaper than "The Burger" but still too expensive for the Filipino wallet....
