Philippine Azkals to the Rescue – Sendong Charity Game

A football lover that I am more so an Azkal fan, I've been hearing this buzz for some days now and feeling the same wish story I published in my running blog , I am hopeful that this will materialize.  Thank heavens it did!          “‎# Sendongcharitygame Please can you help share the poster, thanks.” EVENT: "Dili Kamo Nag-iisa" (‘You Are Not Alone’)               Sendong Charity Game DATE: January 07, 2012, 4:00PM VENUE: Rizal Memorial Stadium I was thinking this may not need posting from a blogger like me considering the popularity of the team as well as the organizers and its partners no other than LBC, The Philippine Red Cross and the ABS-CBN Foundation.  But following my heart’s desire to reach out just even a bit of what I can do, I am obliged to bring this subject to my humble number of followers and readers.  More so upon seeing that the event poster is followed by “‎#Sendongcharitygame Please can you help share the poster, thanks.” The good news for footba

The 2011 Metro Manila Film Festival

A blog about Manila is not complete without posting the fabulous Metro Manila Film Festival which is on it’s 37th year now.  A few years back a good friend neighbor used to drag us to Roxas Boulevard to watch the Parade of Stars.  I’m not much of a showbiz person but I support anything that promote the Filipino talents, and I have always been amazed on how the floats of each participating movie is exhibited.  It is a great experience seeing how the float designs improved each year both in artistry and technology. This year I am lucky to catch some floats being set-up just before they are lined-up for the Parade of the Stars. finishing touches for "Ang Panday 2" float more flowers for "My House Husband" float Here are the film entries for this year’s MMFF: Ang Panday 2 Cast: Ramon “Bong” Revilla, Marian Rivera, Iza Calzado, Rhian Ramos, Philip Salvador, Eddie Garcia Genre: Fantasy/Action /Adventure Producer: GMA Films Director: Mac Alejandre Wri

The Giant Ferris Wheel – The MOA Eye

Jogging at the SM Mall of Asia for almost every other day or about four to five times a week for several years now made me see all the changes and developments of the place.  I witnessed the Mall of Asia’s “development”, from the time the first foundations of the first establishments were put-up until its inaugurations.  Before the new shops, attractions and almost all the establishments are launched to the public I witnessed almost all of them built from scratches. Because of this it got me into considering putting a special category in this blog titled “Dissecting the Mall of Asia” (nice idea isn’t it?) .  I am one lucky “urbanista” having to live conveniently near the SM Mall of Asia.  It is not only an awesome place to go but for me, it is also very informative. And as usual during my regular running routine at MOA’s bay area, sometime in September of this year, I saw these humongous metals piled up in the bay area and I was wondering what are those for.  Again, I witnessed how

Simbang Gabi (Dawn Mass) å la Vicita Iglesia

San Isidro Parish Church at around past 4AM, my first parish for this year’s Misa De Gallo. I’m not sure how it started in Christmastime of last year that I started attending the dawn masses in different parish churches. I know it’s very un-ordinary because we usually attend dawn masses to the church that is most nearest to us considering the time that we need to wake up and prepare. I guess I was checking the schedules from each church within my home vicinity and I ended up attending mass to each of the churches. A good friend of mine is asking if I will do the same this year hopping from one church to another to complete the nine novena masses.  She told me that she wishes to do the same but the distance of churches from the place where she lives is inconvenient.  Well that’s another advantage for my being an “urbanista”.  I feel lucky that I dwell in a place that is conveniently accessible to many important public facilities like malls, supermarkets, wet markets, airport and even
