In the Flesh: Raw and Raring

May 19, 2010 by Janey

Guess who Bubba was training with last Saturday? 😉

He is a Filipino-British actor, host and commercial model that can make hundred of girls flushed with fever just by flashing his bright melting smile.

Bubba and Coach Basas gave him a crash course in MMA to get him prepped for his new show.

In Action:

–

Positioning

–

Armbar

–

Superman Punch!!! 🙂

–

Packing 🙂

–

Guess who owns those white gloves he used? 😉

–

He’s quite simple and unpretentious. He was open to learn and eager to practice. Without gripes about taking a break, the heat or an aching muscle. No star complexities at all –something that would definitely make you adore him more… even off cam.

Restoring Hope for the Nation: NoyNoy Aquino to Run for 2010 Presidency

September 9, 2009 by Janey

Manila News Today: 09-09-09

Restoring Hope for the Nation

Sen. Benigno Aquino III, known to many as “NoyNoy”, the only son of former President Cory Aquino and national hero, Ninoy Aquino, officially announced this morning his acceptance of the people’s call for him to run for president in 2010.

Sen. Aquino made the announcement of his candidacy at the Club Filipino in Greenhills, San Juan City –the very same site where former President Aquino took her oath as president in 1986. It was also the same venue where Sen. Mar Roxas held a press conference to announce that he is making the ultimate sacrifice to give way to Sen. Aquino. September 9, 2009, is also the 40^th day after the death of his late mother, the icon of faith and democracy.

Sen. Aquino, who looked calm and strong-willed, declared that he is accepting the voice of the people and will continue his parents’ fight to restore “real” democracy in the country. He accepts the challenge to lead in this fight by running in the coming elections.

NoyNoy’s sisters, Ballsy, Pinky, Viel and Kris along with their families were present during the announcement, a strong sign of their full pledge support for NoyNoy’s decision.

Liberal Party members Senators Manuel “Mar” Roxas II, Francis Pangilinan, former Sen. Franklin Drilon, Quezon Representative Lorenzo “Erin” Tañada III, former congressmen Florencio “Butch” Abad and Nereus Acosta, former Defense Secretary Avelino Cruz and Leah Navarro of the Black and White Movement were also present.

Sen. Aquino generously welcomed a few questions from the media, to which he answered fearlessly and with conviction. He also mentioned that he has offered Sen. Roxas to be his vice-presidential running mate and is only awaiting the latter’s decision on the matter. Other items he mentioned that he will look at is education and the repetitive traditional books we feed the youth, re-establishing the justice system across all classes (poking at the current justice structure for the rich and well-connected) and restoring hope for the nation.

Nike’s Manny Pacquiao Limited Apparel

May 9, 2009 by Janey

Saturdays are meant for sleeping in until noon. Not last Saturday though. The day started early and we were at the Fort by 9AM. W-H-Y?

Last May 2, 2009, starting 12 noon, Manny Pacquiao fans and supporters get the chance to purchase Pacman’s limited apparel during this one day only event. The most popular item in the Manny Pacquiao pop up store was the Nike Trainer 1, which retailed at PHP 5,209.

The Manny Pacquiao pop-up store one-off event was held at Magnet Café Bonifacio High Street. Magnet Café is 2 doors away from the Nike branch store at the Fort. Limited pairs were also made available at Nike Park BHS the next day.

What we were interested in was the Manny Pacquiao windbreaker that has the Philippine flag design. When we got there though, there were about 80 people in line already, who supposedly camped out just to get their hands on the items. 3 hours of waiting… and there was no guarantee that when the store opens at 12nn, there would be stocks left. As much as we wanted to purchase the windrunners, I just didn’t have the patience to wait that long.

Cheers to those who were able to buy what they went there for!!! I’m green with envy.
