                The 4 th World Gamefowl Expo has been successful. It was a 3-day event (Jan. 17-19) held at the World Trade center back-to-back with World Pigeon Expo. It was organinized by World Exco and PitGames Media Inc. Thousand of gamefowl and pigeon afficionados  were attended in that said event. It was very enjoyable because there was a lot of companies participated to showcase their products and services. And a lot of prizes were given to the lucky winners.  There were also many popular breeders sold their bloodlines. For sure, every attendee went home with a smile because of their happy experience. And they  will  wait again for another expo.

                     Intramuros, or “inside the walls”, is a great venue if you want to go back to the Spanish era.   There are many old buildings in this place. Some are still intact but there are also ruined ones like the Aduana Building. You’ll see a lot of officers wearing guardia civil uniforms roaming around Intramuros. Aside from them, there are also a few Katipuneros out there wearing red pants. If you want to fully experience the old times, a calesa is available for you to ride.   The presence of fastfood restaurants or modern establishments here does not affect the wholeness of Intramuros as a place reflecting the atmosphere of old century. This place shows our rich culture and reminds us of our roots. I am not surprised anymore if you can find here the office of the National Commission of Culture and the Arts.         

Meg Imperial as FHM model                 Do you  know Meg Imperial? Of course, if you watch the Kapamilya Channel, you may be already familiar with her. Maybe, you are also a fan of hers. We cannot  deny the truth that Meg is popular right now, with more than 200k fans in Facebook. Truly young and beautiful, with a sexy body. That is why I am not surprised anymore when she became an FHM cover girl.

Kape at Balita: Writer's Episode             It feels good when you see yourself on TV. It seems that you are also a celebrity even if it will only last for a minute; at least you became famous for a while. Remember, almost every Filipino household have TV sets. Thanks to my blog because I was noticed by the researcher of GMA News TV named Arra Yendi Mendez when she visited my Tagalog blog ( Sanib-Isip ). That time, she was looking for a topic about Pinoy craft. She read one of my articles that tackles Original Pilipino Music and after that she sent an email asking if I am willing to be interviewed, without saying that she is working for a TV network. She gave her contact number and I coordinated with her immediately. We met in Farmers Plaza in Cubao and she learned that aside from blogging I’m also a book author. I released several books under Psicom Publishing. She introduced herself that she is from the marketing department of  Kape at Balita...

              Azrael Coladilla, a blog guru              You are not a blogger if you do not know who Azrael Coladilla of Cavite City is. He is one of the leading bloggers in our country, specially in pop culture. He is the man behind azraelmerryland.blogspot.com. He had been featured in television and broadsheet.

Man's Best Friend                                 His name is Ben. He is very popular in our place because he is the only one who roams around the village with a dog in tow. I first saw him when I was a kid. He is tall, thin and with white hair. I assume that he is now already 50 years old or more. Ben is so kind, the only difference is that his mindset is like that of a child’s. Other people who do not understand his situation call him “crazy.” I never heard that he hurt anyone. But the sad thing is, Ben was once hurt by drunk construction workers when Ben passed by in front of them. Just imagine, they beat Ben although he cannot fight back. They are the crazy ones, not Ben who is innocent about the world.

She already featured in some travel magazines and also featured in TV shows like Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho and Pop Talk. And now it’s an honor for me, presents her in my blog.
