Now I know: this was the best place in town to watch the recent Manny Pacquiao-Joshua Clottey boxing match. If only that one didn't turn out to be one heck of a peek-a-boo fight, courtesy of Clottey :D The city's newest five-star hotel, Marriott Hotel Manila, presents Velocity Bar - a topnotch sports and entertainment bar that will be the hang-out of expats and dyed-in-the-wool yuppies in due time. A hole-in-the-wall this is not, as this place has lots of couches, lounge chairs and private rooms to accommodate as much as 200 people at a given time. In two simple ... Continue Reading...
’tis the season for new netbooks from Samsung, ASUS
Am a newbie to netbooks. But when my beloved Mac underwent major repairs recently (all free courtesy of the AppleCare warranty), I had to get a standby, supplementary laptop. My choice is the pretty & dainty HP Mini by Studio Tord Boontje. Never mind if it's not the newest model in the market. I like its all-white, feminine form, the tactile keyboard, Windows 7 Starter pack and amazing six-cell battery life. It's a reliable baby, and I've learned the meaning of carrying your lappy for mobility's sake. It's so light at 1.06 kilos :D However, I've also attended a ... Continue Reading...

In the meantime, I had to use their toilet which was strewn with used tissue toilet ... Continue Reading...

Manny Pacquiao vs Joshua Clottey: tale of the tape
Pacquiao vs. Clottey in Texas, via boxingscene.com It is going to be a tough fight for Manny Pacquiao on March 13 at Texas' Cowboys Stadium. Clottey's cook has boasted that the Philippines' greatest fighter will most likely end up in the hospital. But that's his word. Pacman is still heavily favored to win over Clottey, even though boxers from Ghana have a rep of being bloody brawlers. Clottey's edge is that he is taller, heavier and has more reach than our pound-for-pound king (see tale of the tape below). He's expected to stun with his powerful upper cuts and head ...
