My Favorite Movie Monologues

Here is a list of some of my Fav Movie Monologues (in no particular order):

Greed is Good

This scene started with the board of directors accusing Gordon Gekko, a billionaire investor, played by Michael Douglas, of being too greedy.  Its at this point that he takes the mic and takes the crowd with him.  Its amazing that he was able to turn something negative in something positive.

The point is, ladies and gentlement, that greed, for lack of a better word… is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Keep reading →

Greenbelt 5 Armed Robbery Attempt: The Unanswered Questions

Although i really should be working right now, i couldn’t help but be curious about what the updates are on the Greenbelt 5 robbery of the Rolex store that happened last Sunday at about 12 noon.

When i heard about it, I was shocked that a group of armed men wearing police uniforms with automatic machine guns walked into the high-end shopping mall on a SUNDAY to rob a Rolex store.  Thankfully, a police escort of the Taguig Mayor chanced upon the Robbers as they were looting the store and had the presence of mind to know that a robbery was taking place, immediately fired upon them, and killed one of the perpetrators at the scene of the crime.  The other gang members were caught off guard and ran to the back of the store and regrouped, then came out with guns blazing! They were able to escape.

Thank god no one was hurt and the only casualty was one of the gang members.  Here’s the news report about the incident, including a CCTV footage of the actual crime taking place.

Quintin “Rampage” Jackson is the worst coach ever

I just finished watching the 5th episode of The Ultimate Fighter – Heavyweights (TUF) and its a pretty good season for TUF. Its got a lot of drama and the characters are very interesting; Especially Quintin Jackson, the guy is such a freaking loser.  No wonder his team is 0-5. Damn! its not that his team has bad fighters, it comes down to the coaching.  JACKSON is a TERRIBLE COACH!

Here are 5 reasons why Jackson is a terrible coach:

Brock Lesnar is WAY OVER RATED! Fedor is the real deal! CarWIN will win against Brock!

its funny when i hear casual MMA fans talk about how amazing they think Brock Lesnar is and how they think Fedor doesn’t stand a chance.  You can tell that they are just plain ignorant and have never seen Fedor fight.  Fedor has fought top fighters in their prime and has beaten them decisively.

Lets get it on!!!!!

Last week, i was walking around Powerplant mall in Rockwell Makati, when i chanced upon this store called, Anthem, that sells ORIGINAL Affliction Gear, from shirts to board shorts to hoodies. For the average joe, this means nothing, but for the avid Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Fan like myself, this is the BOMB!

So i started browsing thru their stuff and i saw this SUPER NICE Pullover Hoodie and i just had to try it on.  I was ecstatic when it fit me perfectly. Great Design, Awesome attention to detail, and fantastic clothing quality. iLUViT!!!!!!

I was still hesitant to buy it, until i found out that this was the ONLY ONE in the Philippines.  I was sold!  Apparently, they only carry 1 design per size so unless you go to the states to buy one, i am the only one with this design in the Philippines.

The design is called, “BIRDS OF PREY”

My new board bag, i mean “golf” bag, or ummm…. whatever.

I just bought my new board bag for my LF Watson Board. I am so excited to use this bag since it has a thick lining all around that protects the board from bumps when being thrown around in the baggage area of the airport. It also has WHEELS and can easily be lugged around.  It also has several compartments for my board shorts and other clothing essentials. Apparently, they call it Golf since it is really a golf bag and when you check this in, they will not charge you extra since golf bags are considered regular size. hahaha…

I put all my gear inside already and the board fits like a glove! Very Nice! i highly recommend this bag. its tough, rugged, easy to bring around.  I’d say this is the perfect board bag!

Preventing Blisters while wakeboarding

me and watson

I’ve been wakeboarding for a few months now and have recently started trying new tricks and am able to stay on longer.  I really enjoy this sport since it is a great workout, a fun way to spend a weekend with friends, and it is challenging.

But one big problem i have while wakeboarding is that i started getting blisters on my palms.  So, now i am obsessed with trying to find out the cause of blisters and how i can prevent it from happening. Blisters from wakeboarding... OUCH!

Wakeboarding: Whats it worth?

138 limited edition watson

Wakeboard + Bindings      PHP 27,000

Originally, i was only planning on spending PHP14,000 MAX for board and bindings. Looked into 2nd hand boards first, then Gov. convinced me to buy a brand new combo for PHP18,000, i hesitated and when i decided that i was gonna get it, they were out of stock. So, i ended up buying the board and bindings separately, even with a 30% discount, still came out to PHP27,000. But I LOVE MY NEW BOARD!

What is Love?

There are only a few moments in my life when i have been moved so much that i loose myself in the moment. One of those times was during my sister’s wedding when i was asked to read a passage from the Bible. Keep in mind that i am NOT what is Love?a religious person and this was the first time that i had a chance to actually read and understand the true meaning of the word LOVE.

This evening, i was chatting with my friend, Rezza, and i mentioned that passage to her and how it moved me and humbled me. I want to share this passage to you now and i want you read it out loud. This is the best definition of Love that i have ever read in my whole life. Keep reading →
