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).

Leaving Cebu, Biggest flag in the world!

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.

Manny Pacquiao beat the crap out of Miguel Cotto

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!!!

Boracay!!!! Holy Week

admin — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 16:23:53 +0000

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

Why cant a Mexican beat Manny Pacquiao :(

We could feel an earthquake yesterday!

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
