Manila Ocean Park

Manila Ocean Park. It’s one of the big fuss nowadays. It was opened on February 29, 2008. I heard about it on the news when it was featured in TV Patrol World. I got intrigued by it because it is the first Oceanarium in the Philippines. With much curiosity, there are a lot of people who really want to visit the place and see for themselves what this spectacular place offers. I was one of those people who want to experience the beauty of the first and largest aquarium facility in the Philippines. With much enthusiasm to see the place, I went there with someone last Saturday (March 8, 2008).
There were a lot of people indeed. There was a very long line of people too excited to see the Oceanarium and we all had to be patient to wait in line. But after the tiresome wait for almost 2 hours, me and my companion finally got in. There were two doors where people gain entry to the Oceanarium. Above those doors were detectors which count the number of people who enter it. I was shocked to see the figures because on that day at around 5pm, there were almost 9000 visitors and people still kept coming in! Read the rest of this entry…
My Big Love
[ 1 Comment ] Posted on 03.02.08 under Entertainment, Movies
I watched the most-awaited film “My Big Love” yesterday at SM MegaMall Cinema 10. This movie is starred by promising young movie stars in the industry namely Toni Gonzaga, Sam Milby and Kristine Hermosa. Co-stars in the film are Sandy Andolong, Ricardo Cepeda, Malou de Guzman, Janus del Prado, Jaymee Joaquin, Michelle Madrigal, Lito Pimentel, Aldred Gatchalian and many more. I have seen its trailer on TV several times and people who have already watched it blurted words of praise on how wonderful and romantic the movie is. I somehow got intrigued to that but even before I heard comments from people who have already seen the movie, I already planned to watch it by the time I knew that it is going to be shown as a post-Valentine film.
The story is about a pastry chef named Macky (Sam Milby) who has struggled with his weight for a long time. His dream girl is Ninia (Kristine Hermosa) who is also his chat mate. He constantly gives her pastries and flowers without revealing himself. Until such time that they decided to meet but unfortunately, it was a total disaster. As a result, he hired Aira (Toni Gonzaga) as his personal trainer and as they worked together to achieve Macky’s ideal weight, they both learned to like and appreciate each other. It was not long when an offer from Japan came Aira’s way and she decided to accept it, being the breadwinner of the family. Two years passed and the Macky that everyone used to laugh at has now become one of the sought-after bachelors in the city and who is soon-to-be engaged to his girlfriend Ninia. It was also at this time that Aira’s and Macky’s paths crossed again. The confusion and turmoil led into heartaches for the three people involved in the love triangle. It is now up to Macky who he will choose as his big love: Ninia, the girl he had always dreamed of or Aira, the girl who has always accepted him for who and what he is? Read the rest of this entry…
Spock.com – A Great Place for Search

There is a very interesting website that I discovered while surfing on the Internet. I was searching for a friend I had way back in grade school to know what she has been up to. We were very close back then but lost touch when she migrated to another country. The website I came across with was Spock.com. It is a search engine which you can use to search for information on different people on the web like your friends, colleagues, favorite Hollywood stars, medical specialists, fashion models, realtors and many more. For me, this is a special search engine because it focuses its searches on people and their information. You can search using the exact name of the person, email, location or any tags related to the person which may have been added by the person or by the Spock members. I never knew that there is such a website like Spock.com that specializes in finding everyone you know in the Internet in a fast and easy way. I am sure glad that I learned about this pretty useful and helpful website because I can now connect with friends and colleagues and include them in my Trust Network so I can get personalized results whenever I do some search. This means that when I search for someone, the first results that will appear are people whom I have Spock connection. Through Spock.com, I can reconnect with friends I have lost touch with and widen my network of acquaintances through friends. Read the rest of this entry…
