Nonsense

Why settle for any old chip when you've got real tortilla chips - Jack n Jill Tostillas Nacho Cheese? Monster size chips that give a distinct roar of a crunch and a mouth-tickling cheese flavor that will leave your funny bones wanting for more. Definitely a snack worth scampering for. So don't just stand there with your tongue lolling from side to side. Grab a fist full of chips and get cracking!
Nothing much important about this entry. I just wanted to promote and share what is written on the pack of what I am eating right now, Tostillas! Haha! Anyway, thanks for reading my non-sense entry. Hehe. Get cracking! Have a nice day!

The sports being competed are, basketball, volleyball, chess, judo, swimming, taekwondo, table tennis, cheerdance, baseball, football, softball, tennis, track and field, badminton, and fencing. It is composed of eight competing universities, namely the Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University-Manila, University of the Philippines-Diliman, University of Santo Tomas, University of the East, Far Eastern University, Adamson University, and National University.
NCAA, founded in 1924 , 14 years before UAAP was established, is the largest collegiate athletic organization in the world. It is also held every year from June to October here in Philippines. It has the same sports that UAAP facilitates, but participated by colleges, and is "imported" only from the United States. It is also competed by eight colleges, namely Letran, DLS-CSB, Jose Rizal University, Mapua, PCU, San Beda, San Sebastian, and the University of Perpetual Help System.
