Description: "This collection of warm and humorous essays candidly chronicles the author's experiences growing up in the Marcos-era Manila of the 1980s. He casts a satirical and nostalgic eye on the events of everyday student life, such as fighting for a seat in a classroom with limited chairs; munching on Nutribuns (nutrient-enriched UNICEF bread sent to developing countries); and having his sister discover a 20-inch rubber snake in his schoolbag; taking part in a disastrous school production of Star Wars; and finally, against all odds, becoming a teacher himself"-- Publisher's description.
