Remembering Old Manila

The Philippines was once Asia's richest nation after Japan.That is something I learned early on in life from my grandparents (one of my grandfather's is a proud survivor of the Death March of WWII), parents, teachers in school, politicians, and even down to my yaya, friends, and mediamen. It is that knowledge gives me the assurance that...

Beta Blogger For Dummies is a blog specifically made for those who would want to widen their blog knowledge. It has been a good source for me to improve on my blogging. For me it is the HOLY WRIT of the blogosphere.Beta Blogger suggested that I should... there, I should make a facebook profile for my blog. And that's what I did. So on July...

Beijing Olympics Medal Tally

If my finger counting is accurate, the Olympics should be starting in 9 days. Hmmmm, when can I finally watch the games? Being at the Olympic Opening Ceremonies is definitely one of the things that I should accomplish during this lifetime. I first had my Olympic awareness when in 1992, the Games was held in Barcelona and that the Filipino...

PR 7?!?!

I know Google would be doing updates the past week so I was expecting a few positive changes on my blog. I know I'd get positive changes since number one, I made an entirely new page for all my outgoing links, thus preventing to remove some of my link juices. So earlier tonight(the changes didn't appear yesterday), I noticed that I am now...

Cars and their Human Counterparts

Its not about The Transformers (which I enjoyed anyway) that made me write this post. I made an almost similar post a year back and what I will be doing will be recollection of what I did a year back. That blog and blog post is no longer indexed by Google, thus, I got no way to search it.I imagine the future Japanese Royal Family of Prince...

I Heart Pinas

I love being a Filipino. I don't know, but that's just the overwhelming sentiment that I am feeling right now. The fact that my non-Filipino friends love the country more than we sometimes do (like this Thai-Belgian blogger friend's post) makes me love my country even more.The fact that American friends dearly mention their love for the...

Did You See That???

If you have a poor eyesight (like mine), you might need your glasses to see the data better.This piece of data came from a Goldman Sachs forecast for 2050. Looks like the Philippines will finally join the big league after all! That is, if no DESTABILAZER would spoil the party....

Call Center Agents and A Chinese Restaurant

I was inside this Chinese restaurant, eating my fill of chili sauce filled dumplings and making sips on my hot beef noodle soup when I noticed a group of call center agents were pretty much filling the restaurant with their noise and laughter.On a quiet Saturday morning, a group of people with shades, jackets, and ID's worn outside of their...

2024 Olympics in Manila?!?!

I was blog hopping a while ago when I saw this pretty interesting logo. Manila 2024 Olympics?!?! Hmmmm...That is really something to look forward to. If Southeast Asian counterparts have also been busy creating their respective Olympic hosting stint as well, why can't we?According to Manila2024, the government proposed to build large, spacious...

Blog Question Number One

If Yahoo! Answers is a big hit for well, asking questions, let me make my very own version of it. :)On an Asian perspective, which do you like better, North Americans or Europeans?It's pretty much asking if you prefer soccer over football (which is the same thing!) or Bush over Sarkozy. Which one do you generally prefer?!?!?!People who gets...

Camwhoring the World

***May the owner of this picture forgive me for what I've done. Your picture is just a sound proof that the world is turning into a camwhore.The hippest dictionary in the world, Urbandictionary.com, defines that a CAMWHORE is "Anyone, male or female, who is addicted to taking countless pictures of themselves to post on the internet.."On...

I Got You Mom!

Earlier this evening, while eating my Mom's vermicelli soup, I cracked a joke at her that made her feel annoyed. I was there, heartily eating one of my favorite comfort foods. Watching sports (more like warching the rain fall over Wimbledon) on our "environment-friendly" Samsung TV.I asked my mom, "Hey, how much gas does your car eat up...

Rocky Salumbides and Lesley Mobo: Male Cinderella Stories

I was watching TV Patrol World earlier this week when a really catchy story glued on my attention. A former balut vendor and construction worker was currently making waves as a model.I was like "hey, who could that lucky balut vendor be?" In all due fairness to my beloved balut vendors (I used to eat this [dish?!] almost daily, until I found...

The Haka Dance

If there is one thing that my best friend from New Zealand loved to talk about, that would be the Haka dance performed by his country's rugby team. Sal (his name) is a big All Blacks fan, the national rugby team of New Zealand and happened to be the most successful team in the history of rugby.The Haka is a traditional Maori dance performed...

SPAIN WON!

Soccer’s new European champions speak Spanish. The victorious Spain team also speaks a different language on the field, and the rest of Europe better start learning it quickly.Spain beat three-time champion Germany 1-0 in Vienna on Sunday, but a score like 3-0 would have been more accurate. The team coached by 69-year-old Luis Aragones showed...
