However, this is not the atmosphere that I felt when I entered Global Culinary and Hospitality Academy last January. The place was vibrant and full of energy like an oven is about to explode. Luckily, none of that happened and I had a wonderful night. I arrived late for the event, I did not know what to expect and I did not know what the event was about. After walking for about a kilometer to the Academy from the MRT station, all I was really thinking was “I hope they have free food in this place”. I was sweaty and tired and when I entered I realized that I was so underdressed in my sweaty shirt and jeans. However, the people who welcomed me made me feel right at home with their warm enthusiastic smile and polite demeanor.

However, if you're coming into the theater thinking you'll be seeing some serious kung fu movie along the lines of Jet Li's Once Upon a Time in China Forever and Ever series or Chan's Snake in the Eagle's Shadow classic or even something along the lines of Crouching Tiger and House of Flying Daggers, you will surely be disappointed. Take note: This is purely a family kung fu film if ever there was one. That said, I have never seen Chan or Li have so much fun in a movie. They seem to be loving and enjoying every scene that they have whether together or separated. The kung fu is great but not really anything that we haven't seen before but again the fact that it is Chan and Li doing it brings it to a higher echelon altogether. For those who have only seen Li in his Hollywood films, one would be surprised as to how funny he can be since in hs Hollywood out... http://maynman.multiply.com/reviews/item/3 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 04:57:13 -0000 Rene Requiestas Part 2:Elvis & James Ligo With Me Rene Requiestas and I share the same birthday.

After weeks of cool breezy weather in February, it’s back to the oven for all of us as we burn to a crisp and steam gets forced out of us like an espresso machine. During these times, you begin to think of ways to keep cool and luckily for you, we have a list that does just that.   1) Café Mondial- Hip yet elegant places with exquisite food are hard to find unless you’re willing to bust your entire paycheck in one night. This scarcity of good places to go to is the problem that has been directly addressed by Café Mondial. The summer heat makes people crave to be transported to far off places with great ambience in the company of beautiful people.

Team Liboro capped an undefeated season with a 64-49 victory over Team Faura to bring home the championship after 3 heartbreaking losses in previous finals appearances. Despite beating Team Faura in the elimination round, Team Liboro knew they shouldn't take them lightly as the previous encounter was close up until the final minute. And it looked as though they were headed for a 4th heartbreaking finals loss early on as Team Faura raced to an early 9 point lead in the opening minutes of the 1st quarter. If not for the hot shooting of division MVP "Daddy" Ben Ibuyan, Team Liboro could have been in a much deeper hole. They were able to cut into the lead and keep the game close throughout the first half with contributions from Miko "B Diddy" Borra, King "White Asoro" Dy, and Carlo "Jamario" Buan. In the 3rd quarter, the game went back and forth with neither team leading by more than 3 points.... http://maynman.multiply.com/journal/item/14/Team_Liboro_-_ABL_Champs Mon, 31 Mar 2008 03:47:00 -0000 Adobe Photoshop Online <a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_LEXN-uF7cas/R-td_uLbMEI/AAAAAAAAAGU/T0Eu6IxMfM4/s1600-h/Untitled.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://images.maynman.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/orig/R-y-hwoKCmcAAB3RrTo8/1.jpeg?et=j4h%2BzrBlHjI9Ymy%2CenGo8A&nmid=" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182339145528979522" border="0" /></a> Rejoice cam whores!

Now all your searching will be done within Google. Let's face it, not all sites have good search tools. If you have an idea on which sites you want to get info from use this shortcut.

Pacquiao in 8. That's my prediction. Or possibly shorter. It has always been said that JMM is the better boxer and headier ring technician of the two. Their fight a few years ago was said to be a boxing clinic conducted by Marquez from rounds 2 onwards. Pro-Marquez people would exclaim that if you take away the first round, Marquez dominated the fight all the way. This may be true, but why would you take away the first round? Even if Marquez is the smarter fighter, which I doubt now, ring generalship and strategy starts after the third round. From rounds 1-3, nobody is softening up the guy with body shots. The difference between now and then is that Pacquiao improved as a boxer since their last fight. In fact, I highly doubt that anyone could beat him if he were to show up in his Erik Morales III form. In that fight, Pacquiao weigh... http://maynman.multiply.com/journal/item/9/Pacquiao-Marquez_Fight_Prediction Tue, 11 Mar 2008 15:06:09 -0000 Beware of Fake Coins <IMG class=alignmiddleb src="http://images.maynman.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/R847vwoKCmcAADTLQK41/coin.JPG?et=zzI3azsgS%2COUxqxBXZ0ZZw&nmid=" border=0>                                                               It's not this easy to spot   A week ago, I was counting the coins I had in my pocket when I felt something peculiar about a couple of them.

Upon further inspection, I saw that the 1 peso coins were dated either 2003 or 2004 which made me wonder why it looked so shiny after all these years.
