I have always been a fan of Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao and I have always watched his fights live. Today was different cause I had some important things to do together with Zenia’s family. We had a great day visiting some neighboring islands near Mactan. Even though I was not able to watch the match live, I still had updates on the status of this historical match by Manny Pacquiao since this will be the first time an asian will obtain 4 titles in 4 different divisions.
Every minute or so I SMS my younger brother for some updates on the match. There were even some prank messages spreading the bad news that Pacquiao lost the match and everytime I heard the different bad rumors spreading thru SMS my heart skipped a beat. That match has got to be the most excited boxing match I’ve ever experience. The excitement of who won the match was killing me. Maybe it was because this was the first time I ever followed Pacquiao’s match without watching it.
After several bad rumors about pacman’s defeat, I was already so anxoius especially because my brother had not messaged me for quiet a while about some updates. I was starting to lose hope that maybe the rumor’s were true. Then just when I was about to give in to the bad news my cellphone had a message alert. It was my brother sending me the latest update on the match! Pacman won on the 9th round KO!!!
I was so ecstatic about the news that I announced it to Zenia’s aunt and cousin that Pacman won and it was by Knock Out. By far that match was the most thrilling match I ever encountered ever since I started watching Pacman’s matches. The first thing I did when arrived home was to search for the replays of the matches on the net and here is a link to the whole match I found on the internet.

The Jubilee Church designed By Arch’t Richard Meier June 25, 2008

While I was still a student in architecture I was more inclined to innovative designs which represents architecture today than traditional designs. I learned to appreciate these designs at an early stage in my studies. I was always searching for unique design solutions for different building types in architecture and during my thesis one structure which I stumbled during my research really drove me to think outside the box. It gave me a whole new perspective on the possibilities you can achieve if you won’t restrict yourself with the norms in designing a structure.
The Jubilee Church designed by the world renowned Architect Richard Meier was a unique church in every aspects in its design. It veered of from the traditional way of church designs and managed to arrive at a magnificent design which was functional and which reflected on the core beliefs of the church. The beautiful use of natural lights enhances the ambiance of the interior. The absolute harmony of all the elements and concepts makes this church a masterpiece.
Below is an intricate animation done by Robert Angelis which will provide you a glimpse at this beautiful masterpiece.
My busy month of June. June 22, 2008

After a well deserved vacation at Bantayan island I was faced with a lot of problems the day after we arrived. The next day after our vacation I needed to finish my enrollment since I only had a week left until the deadline. It took me a whole week just to process my enrollment since I had to talk to the dean for violating some of the probationary requirements of the school, to make matters worst, while I was still processing my enrollment classes had already started and one of my professors told the class that she will give us an exam on the next meeting. Sheesh, we haven’t even adjusted from the summer break and she gave us one hell of a load of cases to read.
After sorting things out with the dean, My next objective was to buy my books for all of my subjects. I was surprised when I got all the prices for all of my books. They cost more than my enrollment fee! and to make matters worst most of the books I need were out of stock. Luckily, thanks to my resourcefulness, I found other ways to secure a copy of those books. I think any wise law student from Cebu knows where to secure those books.hehehe
I was already a week late the first day I attended my class this semester,I had a lot of catching up to do with some of my subjects. The cases assigned to us were pilling up and Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, a Typhoon struck our place and there was a long power outage. After the power returned the website where I usually research my cases was offline. Argh!!!
Anyway even though a lot of unfortunate events has happened in the past few days, I’m still glad that I have managed to overcome those obstacles. Though it wasn’t easy, what really matters is not giving up. I just hope this week would be better, I really need a break from all this constant pressure.hehehe

A simple dinner which turned into a culture shock for me and my cousins. I never thought there were so many varieties of Chinese food that I’ve never even seen or tasted. Check out my shocking experience at my Cebu food spot blog
Grand Majestic – A whole new chinese cuisine experience June 12, 2008

Its been a while since I’ve written a new post in this blog. I’ve been busy the past few weeks I never got the chance to write new food reviews for this blog. A couple of weeks ago my family had a small gathering, we ate at this Chinese restaurant which has already established there name here in Cebu.
The Grand Majestic has been around for more than a decade and as a child we usually eat here on special occasions and during the weekends. Maybe because during that time Cebu didn’t have many restaurants for us to choose.
Anyway unlike out previous visits in that restaurant, this was a bit different. Our food was really hardcore Chinese food with the exception of a few dishes, that even I couldn’t understand what I was eating. It was a whole new experience for me and my cousins.
The image above is the appetizer they served us. Its a dimsum sampler and most of the samples there I frankly have no idea what they are or what there made of. Except for the siomai which is the only familiar dish in that sampler.
The next dish they serve was chicken but in another style, I even thought that it was a chicken from another planet. hehehe I never saw a black chicken before thats why I asked my aunts, who are familiar with chinese food, what that soup was made. They told me its a black chicken soup and my grandfather used to cook this soup for them while they were young. If only I saw my grandfather I would have learned a lot from him since he was a pure Chinese. I could have tasted his delicious cooking.
The next dish that was served was something I mistook for a familiar dish. I thought these wear fried lumpia shanghai but it turned out to vegetables. I think they told me its made out of radish. 
Another dish which I mistook for pancit bihon or noodles was in fact another type of dish. This dish was totally out of my vocabulary of Chinese foods that even my aunts didn’t know what it was made of.hehehe
Luckily the next dishes they served were familiar dishes. This one is a deep fried prawns.
They then served the Crabs, I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to take a picture of the untouched version of the crabs. My cousins were really hungry at this time and they never gave me a chance to take some shots on the crab.hehehe
This one was supposed to be a roasted piglet but I don’t know why in the world they decided to chop it in to tiny pieces.

The Paid to Click frenzy June 12, 2008

A couple of days ago, everyone in the office has been trying out paid to click websites. I have tried it before but somehow never gave it enough attention. That is when our manager showed us what he earned when he invested a small amount of time with these sites. I opened some of my former accounts and explored some other PTC sites. I was surprised that these sites were still around and some are even getting bigger.
I researched on some other sites and found a couple of good sites which I’m going to religiously try in the next few weeks. So far I haven’t received any bad feed backs from these site, I don’t expect to earn a lot from this site but I’m willing to give it a try though, who knows maybe I might earn something from this. I have a couple of list on the sites I joined in my other blog. Please visit my other blog Money and Opportunity for more details.

I visited this blog which features some pretty neat paper models. There are some paper models which looks so realistic it really doesn’t look anything like paper. The blog has a wide variety of models from simple to the super intricate I bet it really took a large chunk of his time doing it. I admire the patience of these people making those paper models, It really takes a lot of dedication, patience and love for it in order to finish those models. Here is one of my favorite paper model from his blog.
