Indescribable Joy
I have always longed to be able to write completely, in detail, the gladness that fills my heart everyday since my Christianity, but each time I’d attempt, I’d fail for the lack of proper vocabulary to use. Today, let me try just once more, although I know there still won’t be a steady supply of right terminologies, I’d just as well do it now than never have the chance to let those who may chance upon this know how life changed for a wretched soul like me.

Affliction & UFC Fight Night 14
I guess July 20th (Philippine time) was the best day for mixed martial arts fans. Two great events were held simultaneously. One is the UFC Fight Night 14, and on the other hand was Affliction’s debut event called Affliction Banned.

Menswear Spring 2009
Before we begin. This is a post relating to Fall/Winter of 08/09
I know it might be a little early, but there are already Youtube videos with the Spring/Summer 2009 collection.
Colour trends this spring are more of the spring colours in a darker hue and much more romantic than lasts spring, but there’s a little splash of light colours and an obvious appearance of white.
According here, materials are more high end and a little soft featuring cows, lambs, and calf. Yet it also says that the thematic message is more carefree, in love, monastic, yet turbulent and worrying. There is also a big chunk of Blue and Green.
DG: Dolce and Gabbana, Dolce and Gabbana, and Versace are great selections and inspopirations for your Spring/Summer wardrobe.

Paking Rabat
At the City Council this morning, I learned from media colleagues that former basketball star and veteran politician Francisco “Paking” Rabat of Mati, Davao Oriental passed away last weekend. He was 74.

After the people power revolt that threw away his close friend Ferdinand Marcos in 1986, he became mayor of the capital town. Mati bacame a city last year just in time for Paking to retire from politics to give way to his daughter Michele, the new city mayor.
