Mayweather vs. Ortiz: What Really Happened?







 
What really happened during the Mayweather vs. Ortiz fight? Were we ripped off by a staged fight? Or was it just a pure example of dirty fighting by Floyd Mayweather Jr.?


Whatever this showing was intended to be, it was poor form on both boxers.

More than anything else, boxing after all is a spectator sport. They have to make the match fun and not be so obvious about whatever really happens behind the scenes.

Unfortunately this was not avoided and this ended up one of the most controversial fights of the decade. I'm glad Mayweather's opponent wasn't Pacquiao. No wonder Mayweather seemed scared of Pacquiao. For sure Manny Pacquiao wouldn't go down without a "real" fight.

I tried to look for the video of the knockout but it's no longer available on Youtube.com, you may view it here though for results, replays, and reactions.

Best in Cebu: Best Party Places


What are Cebu's best party places? Well first we have to identify if the party's for a child or a child at heart. For a child it's a lot easier with all the fastfood places these days offering party options

Best places for having a party in Cebu
  1. The usual fastfood joints - Jollibee and McDonalds have packaged parties for children and of course the usual themes, there are the princesses and the Ben 10 characters + typical mascot appearances. These I think now start at 7K for 30 children. 
    • Less hassle as you'll have a lot of the party paraphernalia handled by the crew in the restaurant but you have to admin you won't have much of a choice to what they will be
    • They'll also host the party which is always a good thing given there will be approximately 30 kids in the room. Not being the one organizing that event would help you maintain composure throughout the party
  2. Why not have a beach party? After all we are in an island in the Pacific. A beach party can range from a cheap get together in a relatively open beach like Portofino or Hadsan (if it's still open) or having it fully customized for your needs like in one of them posh resorts like Maribago Bluewaters or Shangrila. There are also some mid-range resorts that you can take advantage of along Mactan
  3. Restaurants in the city. Plenty regular restaurants in the city offer great prices if you book a function room. They will usually charge on a per head basis or per order. But you can leverage the food order vs. the space you want to take. I've tried the following locations as party places
    • TamGu Grill Cebu - this is in Paseo Arcenas Banawa. They have this 2nd floor that's good for about 30 people, so quite intimate but it's private and they will let you book it for as low as 5K which I think is very affordable
    • Big Mao which used to be in Crossroads - but is now in Terraces Ayala Center, also had this huge place where I even had a puppet show location for my daughter's friends. I think they also have a function room in Ayala
Other restaurants around Cebu also have this same feature, albeit a wee bit more expensive particularly for an older crowd who likes to party in Cebu

  1. There's Mr. A up in Busay which is far but has a great view. Food isn't so bad either
  2. There's Penthouse and Loft or Vudu for the party people type who prefer drinking and dancing - not for children though
  3. The more classy places include Anzani and Belini just going up to Marco Polo Hotel. Hotels will also be an option at this point for those who would like a more formal setting. Other great hotels are Marriott, Radisson Blu, Shangrila of course

Best in Cebu: Best Supermarket


I'm going on a "Best in Cebu" to highlight what are the top restaurants, locations, birthday/ party places, gadgets and the like to help the average metro professional around the compact city of Cebu. This is of course based only on my personal opinion with some parameters for objectivity but nevertheless it boils down to my personal biases and needs. If you agree or disagree, please feel free to air out your thoughts. I'm always open to new albeit contrasting ideas

Let's start with Best Supermarket or grocery store. A couple come to mind immediately


  1. Metro Gaisano/ Metro Ayala - this is one of my favorite places because
    • Location: It's right in the middle of everything. Uptown Cebu
    • Prices: Relatively affordable - some of the items are very competitively priced
  2. Foodarama - I've asked many a homemaker and many swear by this place as the most affordable in this side of the city. 
    • There's hardly a lot of people there too so you have time to go around and not waste time 
    • Product variety: You may miss some items, but of what is there - they are one of the best prices you'll find
  3. Shoemart or Save More - SM does not fail when it comes to product variety they have almost everything. I say almost because you will not find Colgate there. I'm not sure why but I've heard rumors. Anyway fact is, you will not be able to buy it there, among other things - but very few. By comparison to other places, you'd have the highest possibility of finding what you need in SM
    • And you don't just need to go to SM City Cebu now to get SM needs - there's Save more in Park Mall, Mactan - there's even the new SM Hypermart
    • Ambience: Very crowded particularly during weekends and sale periods. 
    • Traffic: Can be very painful if you get caught during again - weekends & when there's a sale
    • Also received negative publicity from a recent shooting in one of their Luzon malls - that must have been quite a scare
  4. Robinsons is actually not a bad option except for the negative publicity they got recently when an armor car got robbed
    • But there are other Robinsons options now too - Robinsons Cybergate doesn't really have a supermarket but it's a great place to eat particularly if you have a patient/ doctor to visit in Chong Hua Hospital
    • There's also Robinsons in BTC or Banilad Town Center - very quiet there. Product variety not as extensive but they've covered the basics. When in a hurry and just have a few items to pick up this is usually a good place as it isn't too crowded
  5. La Nueva and Unitop are also very affordable options. However is located in downtown Cebu City where parking is horrible and traffic is worse. I often find myself having difficulty navigating the labyrinth of roads there just to get back to Uptown

Ms. Universe 2011 Results: Bb. Pilipinas Shamcey Supsup Makes It to Top 3

Our very own Shamcey Supsup made it to the top 3 of Ms. Universe 2011. That's just amazing. Of course I was hoping she'd actually win, given her family name has a sordid meaning in the local dialect it would be nice if she was able to make up for it with a Ms. Universe title under her belt.

Winning 2011 Ms. Universe is Ms. Angola Leila Lopes who looks stunning in her bikini. No wonder she won. China's Luo Zilin came in fourth, Philippines' Shamcey Supsup was third, Brazil's Priscila Machado second and Ukraine's Olesia Stefanko was picked first runners up.




Our very own Shamcey Supsup in her choice evening gown during the 2011 Miss Universe Presentation Show on September 8 at the Credicard Hall in Sao Paulo, Brazil was born in General Santos City - where Pacquiao resides as well.

According to many articles, she led in the online polls - which makes sense, there must have been millions in the Philippines voting for her. She also has a good head over her shoulders, graduating from the University of the Philippines-Diliman as magna cum laude with a degree in architecture. Not to mention, she also topped the Architecture Licensure Examination in July last year.

Derek Ramsey Was Married!



According to PEP, Derek gave short statements about his previous marriage to a former Filipino-Indian girlfriend. That is such a surprise for me since he's such a hottie. Who would have believed that? Anyway he's still yummy so I don't really care so much

Here's his statement as picked up from PEP:

"It's over and done with. Actually, we can't speak about it but it's over," he said in an interview at the press conference of his newest auto loan endorsement with East West Bank.


The presscon was held at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC)  in Pasay City.


He added that it never affected his relationship with current girlfriend, actress Angelica Panganiban.


"It was never a problem," he told PEP.


"It's just something that they brought up.


"Like I said, it was something that was nine years ago that I have to deal with and it's been dealt with."


The relationship of Derek and Angelica already faced a number of controversies in the past years. However, the celebrity couple still managed to keep their romance going.


For Derek, keeping a relationship is "a lot of hard work."


He added, "The love is there, of course. But, I think, our secret is to let each other grow."

Ah that's sweet, Angelica is one lucky girl. Though I still hear he sleeps around, the level of public affection is just huge.

Tsunami Warning for Philippine Provinces

Time to be aware people. If you don't already know there was an 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan, you should at least be aware that the same tsunami that rocked the place might end up here in the Philippines. Tsunami warning is up so please notify friends and loved ones in nearby provinces. We're lucky here in Cebu, we're quite protected being in the middle of different islands, but hope you will have compassion on others. Here's the announcement from Sunstar

Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) Director Renato Solidum raised tsunami alert level 2 on all provinces facing the Pacific Ocean just over an hour after the earthquake in Japan and shortly after the tsunami that followed.

These provinces include Batanes, Cagayan, Ilocos Norte, Isabela, Quezon, Aurora, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Albay, Catanduanes, Sorsogon, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Leyte, Southern Leyte, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, Davao Oriental, and Davao del Sur.

With this, presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda announced the immediate evacuation of people living in Batanes and Ilocos Norte, which are expected to be first hit by the tsunami.

The Philippine Coast Guard said vessels cruising areas near the Pacific Ocean are no longer allowed to leave. They were advised to seek shelter.

People are also advised to stay away from the shoreline during this period. Those who houses are very near coastal areas facing the Pacific Ocean are strongly advised to go farther inland, said the Phivolcs.

Aside from the Philippines, other areas in the world that were placed under a lower tsunami watch were the Marshall Islands, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Nauru, Guam, Micronesia and Hawaii.

Pag-Ibig Incentive for OFWs from Libya

I'm not the typical person who is up-to-date with current events. I'm usually the type who just takes cover in her own world. I think I have too many problems of my own in terms of work and family. Today though, I took some time to get updated with Japan and Libya and stuff. So here I am.

Let's start out with the OFWs from Libya. It's been terrible there, and they're limiting currency that can be brought back? That's quite unfair. But anyway here's a nice incentive break from Pag-Ibig. Read this from Inquirer

Under the special assistance program, Berberabe said Pag-Ibig members who fled the Libyan conflict would be given the option to withdraw their contributions even prior to the maturity of their savings.

Members may also opt for a six-month moratorium on the payment of their contributions, short-term loans or housing loans, provided they are updated with their payments

No penalty and interest will be charged during the period

Members in Metro Manila may file their application at the Pag-Ibig International Operations Group located at the Justine Building in Makati. Those in provinces may file their applications with the nearest branch.

But those with outstanding loans cannot avail of the package.

OFWs who fled Libya and now in the Philippines may now claim their P10,000 financial assistance from the nearest Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) regional office, the labor department

“I advise the OFW-repatriate to immediately file their claim,” said Labor Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz in a statement, adding that the processing of claims will be on a first come, first served basis.

She added that OFWs in the provinces should immediately contact the OWWA regional offices for assistance in preparing the documents needed for the release of the P10,000 financial assistance.

So far, 7,549 OFWs from Libya have already claimed the P10,000 cash assistance, OWWA said Friday.

This brings to P75.49 million the total cash assistance provided by OWWA so far, the agency said in a statement.

These days at least one in ten people have relatives that are overseas Filipinos. I do too, so if you know somebody who should be getting the break above. Please let them know. You'd do them a big favor.

The Controversy of Lingam Massage

I think this is an ethical issue and should be discussed rather thoroughly. For those that don't know. Here's an article about what the massage is really about. It's kind of difficult to judge something we know nothing about right? So to be fair, here's a short education on Lingam massage:



The Sanskrit word for the male sexual organ is Lingam and is loosely translated as "Wand of Light." In Tantra or Sacred Sexuality, the Lingam is respectfully viewed and honored, as a "Wand of Light" that channels creative energy and pleasure.

Orgasm is not the goal of the Lingam massage although it can be a pleasant and welcome side effect. The goal is to massage the Lingam, also including testicles, perineum and Sacred Spot (prostate) externally, allowing the man to surrender to a form of pleasure he may not be accustomed to. From this perspective both receiver and giver relax into the massage.

Men need to learn to relax and receive. Traditional sexual conditioning has the man in a doing and goal oriented mode. The Lingam Massage allows the man to experience his softer, more receptive side and experience pleasure from a non-traditional perspective.

Beginning the Massage

Have the receiver lie on his back with pillows under his head so he can look up at his partner (giver). Place a pillow, covered with a towel, under his hips. His legs are to be spread apart with the knees slightly bent (pillows or cushions under the knees will also help) and his genitals clearly exposed for the massage. Before contacting the body, begin with deep, relaxed breathing. Gently massage the legs, abdomen, thighs, chest, nipples, etc., to get the receiver to relax. Remind the receiver to breathe deeply and to sink deeper into relaxation.

Pour a small quantity of oil on the shaft of the Lingam and testicles. Begin gently massaging the testicles, taking care to not cause pain in this sensitive area. Massage the scrotum gently, causing it to relax. Massage the area above the Lingam, on the pubic bone. Massage the perineum, the area between the testicles and anus. Take time when massaging the shaft of the Lingam. Vary the speed and pressure. Gently squeeze the Lingam at the base with your right hand, pull up and slide off, then alternate with your left hand. Take your time doing this, right, left, right, left, etc. Then, change the direction by starting the squeeze at the head of the Lingam and then sliding down and off. Again, alternate with right and left hands.



Massage the head of the Lingam as if you are using an orange juicer. Massage all around the head and shaft. In Tantra there are many nerve endings on the Lingam that correspond to other parts of the body. It is believed that many ailments may be cured by a good Lingam massage. The Lingam may or may not go soft as you perform this technique. Do not worry if it doesn't get hard again. You will probably find that it will get hard, then go soft, get hard again, etc., which is a highly desirable Tantric experience, like riding a wave, bobbing up and down. Hardness and softness are two ends of the pleasure spectrum.

If it appears that the receiver is going to ejaculate, back off, allowing the Lingam to soften a little before resuming the massage. Do this several times, coming close to ejaculation, and then backing off. It is important to remember that the goal is not orgasm in and of itself. Men can learn the art of ejaculatory mastery and control by coming close to ejaculation and then backing off on the stimulation. Deep breathing is key here and will soften the urge to ejaculate. Eventually ejaculatory mastery will allow you to make love as long as you want and you can become multi-orgasmic without losing a drop of semen. Orgasm and ejaculation are two different responses that you can learn to separate. The result is a very expanded sex life.

The Sacred Spot

Find and massage the male Sacred Spot. There is a small indentation about the size of a pea or maybe larger midway between the testicles and anus. Be gentle and push inward. He will feel the pressure deep inside and it may be uncomfortable at first. Eventually, as this area is worked on and softened, he will be able to expand his orgasms and master ejaculatory control. You can massage his Lingam with your right hand and massage his Sacred Spot with your left hand.

Try pushing in on this spot when he nears ejaculation. The man may have strong emotions come up during access to the Sacred Spot. Be the best friend and healer he could have in that moment. You, the giver, are creating a place of trust and intimacy.

Ending the Massage

When he feels complete (with the massage), gently remove your hands cover him and keep him warm. Most importantly, allow him to rest quietly for at least five to ten minutes.

I can't say its legalized prostitution but it is definitely in the very gray area where most questionable things are. For business people to exploit it is kind of scary, because it is just a small step away from full blown intercourse.

Cebu Restaurant Review: Roma Mia



The pasta in Roma Mia is considered one of the best in Cebu City. Meat may be scarce though if you get one of their Mobster Meals but nevertheless, it's still pretty tasty. They have seafood and spicy kinds of pasta as well, it's really quite delicious. Don't forget their pizza. That's not bad as well.

I'm not one of them foodies. Don't get me wrong, I love food but I go for the overall experience.

I've been there a lot of times and the problem I often encounter is that, it takes forever to get a waiter's attention. I'm not sure if they're undermanned or just untrained. The food sometimes takes too long to reach you too, so maybe it is a case of under-manning.

This is worse than the outlet in Ayala not accepting credit card sometimes. This of course is tolerable as their dishes aren't that expensive anyway so I think it's still value for money and I appreciate that.

Again I reiterate though, that until they improve their service - it's not easy to patronize them that's for sure.

Cebu Store Review: AudioNet vs. Junrex Cellphones and Accessories

AudioNet sells cellphones and cellphone accessories. I get my Globe load there often because it's the most convenient for me. But their customer service is just horrible. I've actually stopped going there and started going to their competitor across the mall - Junrex Cellphones and Accessories.

The people in Junrex are certainly a lot nicer. Although both stores don't accept Ayala Mall's EGC - that means Electronic Gift Certificate, I think Junrex pulls it off a lot better by being nicer overall.

Cebu Store Review: Executive Optical (EO)




Executive Optical is a known eye wear store that supposedly carries all the famous brands in terms of sun glasses and eye glasses. I've had a couple of experiences though that are rather disturbing and disappointing

  • Issue #1 - If you have something you'd like exchanged, forget about it! They are also not that competent so you have to know what you're buying. If you're not knowledgeable about eye-wear, you better get someone who is or otherwise you may get scr*wed. Anyway here's what happened to me.
  • Bought my boyfriend Oakley shades there. He's a sucker for Oakley shades and apparently so am I. Went there looking for brown canteen and so they get me the item I want put it in a box and off I go. However, after I gave it to my boyfriend - he notices that the shades were not brown but rust (Now call me stupid, but how was I supposed to tell the difference?). I tried to return the shades - before 7 days. I claimed that they gave me the wrong item. The box was labelled brown but the item inside was confirmed as rust. They confirmed it as well. Anyway, I was told they could do nothing about it. Boohoo for me
  • Issue #2 - Boyfriend's old square wire shades broke just a few months back and he tried to get the warranty from Executive Optical. The warranty was just about to end. Executive Optical told him they'd call but they never did.
The people at G-Force are much nicer. They were the ones who told us that there was a 1-year warranty to begin with. Now that's customer service. I've sworn off Executive Optical already. Good thing G-Force opened in Ayala Center too. Now I can just buy Oakley stuff there.


Cebu Store Review: Charles and Keith




I absolutely adore Charles and Keith. Whenever I pass by that shoe store I just drool over all the great designs and amazingly gorgeous high heels. They are just to die for!

And to die for is just probably the right phrase for it given that I haven't bought a pair that doesn't hurt. Don't get me wrong, I'm such a cheapskate I probably only have a couple or so pairs of Charles and Keith and they are so beautiful BUT they hurt so bad.

There's something about the way the shoe was made that just hurts near the toe area. Or maybe my foot is just wide? Don't just take my word for it though, I've asked around and many have given me feedback that their Charles and Keith pretty shoes also hurt. But all agree to how beautiful they are.

Hey Charles and Keith people! Your shoes are so beautiful but my feet disagree because of the pain. Hope they try to fix it. At some point, I need to be able to wear the shoes to appreciate them.

Cebu Store Review: Manel's Shoes




I've been to Ayala numerous times over the last few days, hunting for decent office shoes. It's come to my attention that Manel's has been having a sale for like forever. Are they going bankrupt? Or is it just a wily promotion to bloat prices and then give everyone half off?

It's kind of difficult to keep having 50% off on all items all the time right? Anyway, haven't gone in the store yet, as the last time I was there about a month ago, there wasn't any new stock. But maybe there's some now

KC Montero is Cassandra Monteroid



KC Montero Is The Next Bb Gandanghari?

Has KC Montero turned into the next Bb Gandanghari right after the conversion of the infamous Rustom Padilla?

KC Montero has done some outlandish stuff in his hey-day. I'm not sure if he's still in his hey-day but well... he still has his own radio show and a lot of artists do think he is interesting, so there must be something to it.

Just recently apparently he lost a bet, as a consequence he has to dress up as Cassandra Monteroid. The bet involved none other than worldwide teen pop star Justin Bieber. The boy behind the annoyingly sensationalized song "Baby" and "One Time."

Somebody must have relayed his tweet which went "Lets start a campaign for Justin Bieber to follow me. I will come to work in drag if he does." Last July 5 - it happened and so KC Montero had to dress up like this all the following week. He's even prettier than ex-partner Geneva Cruz

Island Banca's Talima Water Park



I haven't been there yet, but I'm excited about it. At least it's something new in Cebu. There are so many beaches here already but as for water parks - there aren't a lot. Well there's Imperial Water Park which costs an arm and a leg (P 1,700 per head for day use was what I heard). Anyway this Talima Adventure Water Park apparently only costs about P 350 - P 400 with boat fair, water park entrance and getting to enjoy the amenities.

Jollibee on Glee

Have you seen the most recent episode of Glee? Not exactly one of the best episodes they've done in terms of songs and performances, but definitely falling in pretty good as part of their story line.

Jollibee made a cameo too so that's great for local Filipino spirit. Whether it was casual advertising where the chain must have paid millions to get on there, or just plain coincidence (highly unlikely) but either way that's amazing exposure

The store signage of Jollibee was shown during the production number of Artie in the episode Dream On to the tune of Safety Dance

The New Philippine President And Kris Aquino



Everyone thinks it's a big deal that Noynoy Aquino, soon-to-be proclaimed Philippine President is remotely related to the infamous mouth - Kris Aquino.

Everywhere on Facebook, Kris Aquino is being bashed after she promised to leave the country should her brother win. In fact I think she has forced herself to bow out of The Buzz and SNN as a result of her mouthing off.

Here's a clip from Manila Bulletin article on Kris Aquino being First Lady? Now that's a little silly isn't it? Apparently Kris gave up her showbiz career for it? Ridiculous!

“Her decision’s okay,” said Sen. Aquino when asked about Kris’ soft departure from show business during an interview after the Holy Mass of thanksgiving joined by his campaign volunteers in Quezon City last Thursday night.

But the apparent successor to Malacañang was quick to clarify that his sister’s decision to move away from show business is not a confirmation of her taking the role of First Lady.

“She’s (Kris is) not going to be the First Lady. I have a contract with my sisters that once I’m proclaimed, they will return to their respective private lives,” the 50-year-old bachelor said.

Earlier, Kris said she has come to the decision of giving up hosting “The Buzz” and “Showbiz News Ngayon” after deliberating on it with her sisters, Ballsy Aquino-Cruz, Pinky Aquino-Abellada, and Viel Aquino-Dee.

Kris said she will minimize her television appearance “for Noynoy’s sake," but will keep her stints in her daily primetime soap opera and a talent search program.

When asked if he intends to have a First Lady, Noynoy was hawkish. “I recognize that being married can inspire me, but I am at the same time cognizant of possibly making the wrong choice. Getting married then will only be a heavy burden,” he said.

Election Day 2010 Update From Cebu



I went to the Camputhaw precinct today and yep it was a total mess - as expected. Proctors themselves were complaining because it was hot and disorganized. All the voters just wanted to know where they should go and what they should do.

Around the precinct are more people distributing sample ballots and leaflets, everyone from children to tattooed young men (who are scary by the way) telling you to vote Villar or Gibo or Noynoy.

Cars are lined up blocks from the precinct, so be ready for a good long walk even if you brought your car along. Would probably be better if you left that at home, who know somebody might decide to steal it while you're lining up and trying to vote.

It's a lot slower this time around. The automated voting - in total fairness, wasn't built to make the actual voting process shorter but the tallying was the focus. I prayed for peaceful elections while this time my father went out to vote. Somebody has to watch the house. He said he's number 442 and it's still 180 in his precinct. Guess he'll have to go back after lunch

Comedian Adam Carolla Disses Manny Pacquiao and Filipinos

Some two-bit comedian from the US dissed Manny Pacquiao over his nowhere podcast that I had to search for just to listen to what he said. People are entitled to their opinions but this guy is just way off. Include to that multiple racial assaults on the Philippines. I wish Pacquiao could just have one round in the boxing ring with this guy and we'll see what he has to say!

Of course I disagree with many of Manny Pacquiao's recent decisions like joining politics and other stuff that he's better to live without, but to refer to the Philippines as a country of whores? Now that's a little too much

I didn't even know there was such an insect by the name of Adam Carolla. He's so down the drain that he has to say such ridiculously scandalous things just to get attention. The poor thing is probably so starved he just had to take a shot at Manny Pacquiao who has done nothing to him and to Filipinos whom he know nothing about.




I pity Adam Carolla because even NowBoxing.com thinks he's way off his rocker.

If Carolla knew the story of Manny Pacquiao, he would have nothing but respect for him, instead of calling him an illiterate, brain damaged, moron. Judge the man by the quality of his character not by how rich he was born or what type of education he claims. A man’s character and the way he treats others is more admirable than what family he was born to or what country he resides.

Pacquiao has more class and dignity than many of the Americans I know. It was very strange for Adam to attack a person who treats other people with respect and humility. What is better? Millions of American girls idolizing talentless reality show chicks who act like bimbos and sluts or the Philippines looking up to a man who carries himself with class, humility and earned his fame and fortune through talent, hard work, and dedication.


This just goes to say that Adam Carolla doesn't know what he's talking about. He's just an attention starved ego-maniac motor mouth who doesn't deserve air time.

He must have run out of jokes. How puny his brain must be that he has to take it out on people he knows nothing about.

The Next Arnel Pineda on Pilipinas Got Talent - Jovit Baldivino

Listen to this, you'd think the voice didn't come from him. Like he's lip syncing the whole thing. He's absolutely brilliant



It looks like ABS-CBN just found the next Arnel Pineda in a 16-year old siomai vendor from Manila who sells his wares after-school hours
