My Dinner at Bagoong Club
Last night, me, my good friend and officemate Reych, and her good friend Glen went to one of the most talked-about restos in the metro.
Reych invited me to dine with them at Bagoong Club, I called Aldrin and Reych asked permission from Aldrin so I can go with them. I’m not sure if he agreed but I went with them. 
Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya, December 6, 2008
The time of the year has come once again for Manny Pacquiao, Filipinos best boxer ever, the only man who can clear EDSA, who can make people stay at home, and make every politician stops arguing each other. The most awaited boxing fight of the year is happening December 6, MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada. See you there.
Where to watch Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya fight?
The fight is can be viewed live in SM Cinemas and Rockwell. Live feed will also be aired at Solar Sports and other PPV channels. Some restaurants will provide free viewing as well like the past fights. In Manila City, it’s already a tradition to put a large screen on a basketball court where people can watch the fight. Not sure if it’s free though. In General Santos, Manny’s home town, large screens are provided as well. Fight will be shown in Manny’s own mansion in the said town too. Other alternatives could also be available probably on the internet. It just requires some effort to seach and you’re in. Live feed, Free.
Do not watch the fight on GMA 7
On GMA 7, the fight will be shown 4-5 hours delayed. There will be a 15-minute long commercials after each round. News will already spread on other TV channels who wins, Pacquiao or De La Hoya, while the first match is being shown in GMA 7.
My suggestion to GMA 7, reduce the commercials, 5-min commercial after every 2 rounds is good, and people will not get annoyed of your sponsors.
Or, you can have your commercials played all throughout the fight, as long as there’s at least 1/4 of the screen alloted for the fight. I guess people will surely like it. What do you think?
Renaldo Lapuz, I am proud to be your brother. Forever.
There’s been a lot of Filipinos that brought pride to fellow Filipinos. Sports, inventions, discoveries, making records on Guinness, to name a few… And a lot of world class singers. Leah Salonga, Alan Pineda, Nicole of PCD, Billy Crawford. And some even made it to American Idol. Jasmine Trias, Jose Penala. Another Fil-Am is making it to Hollywood from San Diego California. A 16-yr old guy, I forgot his name. And another one is not making it. From Dallas, he’s no other than Renaldo Lapuz.
While watching the video I felt embarassed as a Filipino. But in the end, I realized that I am worse than him. He’s a true Filipino and I am proud of him.
Blogging is now the BIG thing
Just recently I got my first AdSense check, which I earned for 3 months. I was very happy when I realized that this blogging hobby has really converted to some amounts. And more importantly, it really helps me balance work and life. Blogging has pretty much been my stress reliever. Have I felt stress ever?
One news which I really focused on last night on News Central @ Studio 23 is the news featuring a Pinay Blogger in USA, Happyslip, for her most viewed YouTube videos. She directs each video by herself, edited it by herself, published it by herself. And she’s the only star on her shows as well. She’s also been interviewed by some BIG news company such as CNN.
