The tale of the tape is complete after today's weigh-in of the Philippines' pride, Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao and Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas. Am sure everyone's waiting with bated breath for the outcome of the much-awaited fight. And am sleeping early to catch it at 8 a.m. tomorrow, November 15, Manila time :D The tale of the tape (pre-fight measurements) show Cotto is taller, younger and heavier, but never underestimate the speed and the power of Pacquiao. Manny Pacquiao Age : 30 Weight : 144 lbs. Height: 5 ft. 6.5 in. (1.69m) Reach: 67" 49 ... Continue Reading...
Pacquiao vs Cotto : what people are saying
A few more winks and the greatest Firepower fight on the planet will commence. Here are some quotable quotes gathered from news sources: Pacquiao on Cotto: I feel stronger at this weight than I ever have. My punches are harder, my speed is intact.

The proceeds of the event will go ... Continue Reading...
Quesadilla recipe and Asian-inspired pasta, a la Century Corned Tuna
I seem to have gotten mixed reactions from my friends about this new product in the market called corned tuna. The purists say it defiles the sacredness of their favorite corned beef. However, it must be noted that local canned tuna manufacturers have long made variations of Filipino dishes - among them tuna afritada, sisig, Bicol Express, adobo, mechado, to name just a few.

Century Corned Tuna Blogger’s Cook-off: we won!
Bloggers writing about food is one thing, bloggers cooking the food itself in full view of the public is another. So yeah, that's how I attended one of the most enjoyable blog events ever - the Century Corned Tuna Bloggers' Cook-Off held last Saturday, Nov. 7 at The Stock Market in the Fort. The concept was similar to Iron Chef. There was this long table laid out with a variety of ingredients, and the challenge was to come up with any pasta and appetizer dish that would appeal best to a panel of judges, all to be done in 45 minutes! Our finished dishes would be ... Continue Reading...
