Dampa fish market in Manila
Mar 21
Manila Ocean Park
Mar 18
Manila has the cool and neat little aquarium where we got to see sea horses, sharks and even had our feet sucked on by tons of little fishes (the fish foot spa).
The pinoys love to get into the Guiness book of world Records, and they did it again, by creating the biggest flag in the world, the filipino flag, blue, white and red! I was leaving Cebu and you could see the flag, it looks tiny from in the air but still you can tell it’s pretty massive.
It’s Sunday afternoon (Saturday night there in USA), and we went to 1 of the MANY boxing parties here in Cebu, Philippines. It was a packed house, curtains drawn to give it a more night-time feeling. Big buffet of good filipino foods and a crowd of many pinoys ready to watch Manny beat the crap out of Cotto!
And what happend? Of course that DID happen, just about the entire 12 rounds Manny was beating up on Miguel. Was a great fight, lots of action and goshdamn that Pacman is QUICK!!!!!
Great fight!!!! Congrats to Pacquiao and to Philippines!!!
Here’s some pics from the drive on the way to Dumaguete after the Moalboal trip, really neat cemetary:

Boracay!!!! Holy Week
Apr 12
Boracay for Holy Week ROCKS!!!! It’s a very popular destination here for the Easter week up until Easter Sunday. You arrive at Caticlan airport then take a trike to the harbor where you get onto a bonka boat for about 15 minutes heading to Boracay Island. And there you take another trike about 15 minutes to the beach resorts, ours was Victory Diving Resort. It’s right on the beach, the beach here is 5 kilometers of white sands beach, filled with hotel resorts, tour agencies, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, shopping and more, it’s amazing!!! AWESOME!!!!
It’s about 24/7 San Mig Lights, flip flops, beach sand parties at Juice Bar Nightclub, jet skiing in the mornings, and eating great fresh fishes for dinners, reggae music, henna tattoo’s and all, I give Boracay 2 thumbs up and I’ll plan to come here everytime I’m in this country 
It upsets me! Barrera, Morales, and now even Delahoya 
I was just there this morning, to the 3rd largest mall in the world, in Pasay City (Manila) Philippines, it’s called the SM Mall of Asia. It had just about every story, every company, every restaurant I’ve ever been to in my life!!! Nike, Subway, Columbia, Adidas, TGI Fridays, Timezone, IMAX theater, Holland Tulip, Dell, and olympic sized ice skating rink, bowling and thousands more!
It was neat!! My bed was shaking and I had no idea why, to be honest, I seriously thought some kind of animal got into my room and was under my bed LOL then minutes later I heard there was a tiny earthquake here in Cebu hahahahaha
Anyways, no injuries and no damage, so it was perfect
On the way back to Cebu City from the Moalboal trip we stopped into the small city Badian to view the Kawasan Falls, sat there eating french fries and of course pounding some San Migs, thats probably why I was sweating so much! hehe, but it was extremely hot and was a LONG hike up very difficult rocky, slippery rocks, bamboo bridges, and mossy filled rocks.
We went far down south to Moalboal, Philippines. It’s a diving and beach resort place with some of the most beautiful coral reefs and some of the best diving/snorkling in the world!
We took out that bonka boat thing along with some chicken lechon minok (Cebuano cuisine food), some water, bananas and some San Mig Lights. Had an awesome time floating around viewing the bright blue starfish, the beautiful fish and all that. Was GREAT!
Afterwards the boat took us to White Sands beach, relaxed on the nice beaches.
Thank G*D i dont live with Mom around now, she’d go apeshit if she seen my room looking like this!!!! HAHA! Just think Mommy, this is the kind of stuff that would HAVE to be at home for a couple weeks when I get there! Still want me home? (just joking, I know you do )
Anyways, I’m back from the 3 week trip in Cebu, Manila, Boracay Philippines and also up northern Thailand, I got a new camera (testing it now) and new little travel laptop (the little black thing in the middle of the desk called an Asus EEE PC, it’s cute), hope I dont look too much like a geek
Love ya’s
