A Gloomy Day

Its a gloomy day at Metro Davao. Seems like its about to rain anytime. I went out this noon to gather some pictures on the upcoming mall-wide sales at the metro. I was caught by traffic and wasn’t able get any shots. 

Instead, I took some shots along the way through my PDA. The photos aren’t so clear, but at least I can share to you what I saw along the way.

Digital Filipino Club Event

I attended the Digital Filipino and Bloggers event at the Grand Regal Hotel. The event was sponsored by PAGCOR, who is a member of Digital Filipino Club.

The objective of the event is to establish network of bloggers all throughout the country. The event promotes blog awareness and shows the fun and opportunity in blogging.

The top 100 bloggers in the country according to ratified.org was presented. I am proud that my friend’s blog, jehzlau concepts got first in the list. Congratulations Jehz! I wish I could also enter the top 100 bloggers. Please help me in! hehehe

I met friends and schoolmates in the event. I also came to see Davao bloggers. It was an acquaintance. The venue was great, the food was great, and the crowd was great.

At the end of the program there was a live band performance, a mini poker tournament (I wish I know how to play poke, I could have joined), free food and drinks. Casino game checks were given to us.

The event was successful. Congratulations Digital Filipino and PAGCOR!

 I am looking forward for more events here in the city.

A Week at Metro Manila

Last week I went to Metro Manila for Java training. The training lasted for 5 days which gave me six nights of getting acquainted with the Metro.

I took a 7:30 pm flight from Davao to Manila via Philippine Airlines. The flight takes one and a half hour. I checked at Prince Plaza 2 along Legaspi and Dela Rosa streets, Makati. When I arrived at the hotel, I was so tired that I didn’t think about of going out.

On the second night, I went to Glorieta looking for a barber shop and have a haircut. I happened to stumble upon Brunos Barber Shop at the third level of Glorieta.  I also went to SM Ayala to buy some stuff. Along the way I bought Xander a set of MatchBox.

On the third night, my friends from Cebu went to the SM Mall of Asia. We tried the 3D IMAX. It was a great experience seeing a huge 3D movie. We had dinner at the Mandarin Wok, their food taste good. We visited the board walk and listened to live performances.

On the fourth night, we went to our friends hotel at Cubao. After dinner we search the area for places to hang out.

On the fifth night, I came to meet with Jehzlau a co-DOST scholar and a very successful blogger. We attended an art exhibit held at Fully Booked at Bonifacio High Street. I met new friends and bloggers. After the event we hang out at Krispy Kreme BHS with new friends.

On the sixth night we took our course facilitator, Santosh Ashok, from Bangalore India for a night tour. We went to Glorieta to look some place for dinner but could not find any. One of my friend’s uncle was having an event at the Claw Daddy Restaurant along Bonifacio High Street and we decided to pay him a visit. Our effort was not wasted, as we were offered with a free dinner and drinks at the Claw Daddy. We had a great time exchanging cultures with our Indian friend. The food was very good.

I took an early 4:30 am flight back to Davao via Philippine Airlines. I still have a class in the afternoon. It was a great weekend; I met lots of new friends and got to visit different cool places.

Asia’s Largest Art Show

Last week while I was in Metro Manila, I attend an art show featuring arts and photographs works from different artists in the country. These artworks will be displayed on billboards on leading streets in the metro. 

The objective of this event is to share to motorists and commuters alike the beauty of our art. That billboards are not only useful for advertizements, but for other noble causes as well. 

The event was held at Fully Booked Bonifacio High. Its really an experience, since this was my first time I attended such activities and meet bloggers. I learned new stuffs, and I was exposed to the “bloggers’ life”.

If you want to experience such event, you can join the DigitalFilipino Event this week. 

At the end of the event, I received giveaways such as gift certificates from SM and a NuffNang.com mug.

HellBoy 2 - The Golden Army

The Golden Army, an indestructible army built to destroy mankind was set to asleep by a truce between the elves and the humans. Prince Nuada, an exiled price of the elves returns to awaken the Golden Army and wage war to humankind. To control the Golden Army, one must possess the crown, that was divided into three parts by the elves king. One part was given to the  humans and the remaining two parts was kept by the elves. By combining the three crown pieces, the Golden Army awakens.

Now it is up to the BPRD (Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense), headed by Johann Krauss, an ectoplasmic being in a funny suit, HellBoy, pure brute power with an attitude, Liz Sherman, a firestarter and the rest of the gang to stop Prince Nuada’s evil plan and prevent the Golden Army from destroying the world.

This is a very exciting movie. Although I would that the previous HellBoy movie was better, this one won’t go unbeaten. I love the effects and the scenes. Don’t forget to review your troll tales, you will need them. I give this movie an 8 out of 10 rating. This is a must watch movie.
