per aspera ad astra

'Benton' is inspired by and named after the movie 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' in which Benjamin Button grows younger with time. In the movie, Benjamin has no choice but to leave his love, Daisy, as he becomes younger. If Daisy could also turn back time of her physical appearance, wouldn't she be happier? It may just be a fictional movie, but wouldn't most people have the same desire to be young again?

They are the most popular and common 24-hour convenience store in the Philippines and most of the things you need can be found in it such as Pre-Cooked Meals, Snacks, Drinks (Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic), Ice Creams, Toiletries and even Disposable Underwear. This is the photo that i posted on my Instagram Stories. Last May 12, i found out that not only those mentioned above are the ones can be found in their store which i didn't expect (not in my lifetime from a large and well-known company even in other countries) and no one would even want to find in any other store that sells food and that is..
