I found this clip of Manny Pacquiao and David Diaz post game interview on YouTube. I love it that Manny is still always humble, grounded, and gracious even after having so many victories. When asked about which fight between Marquez on the same weight class and moving up a weight class against Hatton he’d rather [...]

Woot! Woot! Manny Pacquiao, our “Pambansang Kamao”  surely delivered and made us Pinoys very proud yet again when he won his bout against David Diaz in the ninth round to become the World Boxing Council lightweight champ.  Manny Pacquiao is the first Asian to hold four world titles in four weight classes as well as [...]

For my birthday, we had buffet dinner at the Greenhouse in Ritz Carlton. What made me decide to have dinner there was it was the restaurant with the highest overall rating that had multiple reviews from HungryGoWhere.com. It was my first time there and here’s my first impression of the place. Sphere: Related Content

Typhoon Fengshen left a lot of people dead.  Most of the families of the victims of the sunken MV Princess of the Stars are still yet to be reunited with their lost loved ones. Let’s pray for the those who lost their lives to the wrath of Fengshen. Sphere: Related Content

Today, we completed the formalities for our Singapore Permanent Residence at the ICA building on Lavender St. We first had to go for an X-ray and blood exam to check for Tuberculosis and HIV.  We had the exam done at the Raffles Hospital near Bugis Station a few days before. That took us about half [...]

In an article by Abdullah Al-Maghlooth | Al-Watan published on the Arab News last June 16, he talks about how Filipinos affect their lives in Saudi. It is really heartwarming. Nobody here can think of a life without Filipinos, who make up around 20 percent of the world’s seafarers. There are 1.2 million Filipino sailors. [...]

This store is kinda the muted version of Ikea and it reminds me so much of Anonymous in Manila during the 90′s.  If you’re into basic or muted colors and simple design like I am, then you’d love this store. But I have mixed feelings about Muji.  Sphere: Related Content

I have noticed a major slowdown in our internet connection for the past few months now. When we first signed up for Starhub a year and a half ago, we got the 12Mbps connection. That was unheard of in the Philippines. In the Philippines, you’d be happy with a 1Mbps connection speed. So I thought [...]

School season’s here again and with the Philippines’ inflation rate at an all time high, the poor are getting even poorer. This back-to-school season, World Vision Philippines still have 4,500 poor Filipino children who do not have sponsors. But for just P450 a month or P15 a day we can help these families by giving [...]

After going to the PC show yesterday, we found ourselves wandering in the Suntec City mall when we heard someone singing in the mall.  It’s always easy to tell whether a Filipino was singing because it’s almost always generally good. So we decided to check it out and saw this gay guy singing Sphere: Related [...]

According to an article from Inquirer.net: The late action star was given full military honors, being a reservist in the Philippine Navy. A 12-gun salute accompanied the actor’s burial. The Philippine flag wrapped around the casket of Fernandez was handed to his widow, who clutched onto it tightly. Oh, the dramz!  First of all, pardon [...]

I went to the PC show at Suntec City this afternoon hoping (though not really expecting) to find an Asus eee pc 901.  Unfortunately, though not unexpectedly, I went home disappointed. I did see the Asus eee pc 900 selling for S$798 without any freebies which roughly translates to about P24000.00.  I feel it’s almost [...]

We still have to go through the formalities – like a personal interview and medical check ups but we got our approval letter already. It took about 3 months since we filed the application and between those 3 months we were asked to submit CVs of Mr. Tsiken’s entire family and mine.  How their CVs [...]

A country fair dubbed as “The Philippines – Beyond the usual” is going to be held at the Tropics Atrium of the Suntec Mall on June 12 -15. This country fair has good timing because it coincides with The PC show which means it can take advantage of human traffic from there during those days.  [...]

A few days ago, I took my friend Troy, who’s visiting from the Philippines, to check out the Southern Ridges. It’s a 9km chain of green spaces which spans across Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, Kent Ridge Park and ends at West Coast Park, each seamlessly linked by foot trails and connection bridges.
