SmartBro Hosts UFC205 Viewing Party

We're at Skinny Mike's today to get down on the Octagon and watch UFC205 live from Madison Square Garden in New York City. It was live streamed using Smart Bro, the country's BIGGEST network has got the most stable connection to do this of course! I kinda woke up late so I missed the first few undercard fights but was able to catch everything starting from Jeremy Stephens and Frankie Edgar. I was rooting for Stephens but Edgar was awesome at his ground games. He's had a LOT of points in the first few rounds. True enough, the Jersey boy won it! 

Meanwhile Colorado born Bantamweight fighter Racquel Pennington had to slug it out with number one contender Miesha Tate. Pennington was a great striker, even making Miesha back out a couple of times. Plus her short jabs were just hurting Miesha a LOT. Then after her loss, she announced that she's retiring. Another good looking woman gone from the contention of the Bantamweight belt. 

The Chris Weidman and cuban Yoel Romero fight was surprising, I thought Romero would get this easy but Weidman had it done with wrestling moves. He did several things and dragged him like a rag doll, plus painful hits, and a barrage of attacks that smashed his Weidmans face to the floor making the so called soldier of gawd win it fast on the third round via TKO.

The UFC Strawweight Championship was a little emotional, as Karolina Kowalkowicz tried to get the championship belt from Joanna Jedrzejczyk which name I couldn't even pronounce. The cute Polish Princess gave her punches at the end of the 2nd round and the small spurts on the 3rd, but Jedrzejczyk just had all the numbers. She won it but we love the polish princess a LOT, we like her cute pose in every round haha!

You too can get a chance to watch every UFC fight by just being a Smart Bro subscriber! Thanks SmartBrokada for the treat!

85 Years of Ortigas & Co. and Greenhills Shopping Center Christmas On Display

I was one of the few people invited to see what Ortigas and Company has prepared for the public in the Greenhills Shopping Center district. I felt like a kid again watching the new episode as they do this whole show with life size mannequin puppets just to tell important stories of faith, proper manners, or something where kids would actually learn from for a couple of years already. It started in the defunct COD mall that existed in the 80's at the Cubao district (now Araneta Center) but went to Greenhills Shopping Center district a few years ago since it was just culture dictating it.

Ortigas and Company is also celebrating their 85th year and to start off the celebration, they coordinated with the city of San Juan, some nearby schools and a couple of day care centers to get kids to watch the show for FREE right at the mall's parking lot. In the past, we used to watch these shows along a busy street cordoned off so we could still watch from the sidelines, but Greenhills actually reserved a place to watch it all, a very nice gesture.

Present was Ortigas and Co. Executives, the Mayor of San Juan city and the actual kids from the neighborhood. They pressed the button to start the show. It was lively, pretty to see and the kids would be learning a thing or two about how not to judge others whether they're rich or poor, not of royal blood, and that kids are supposed to be kids as much as they should want to.

For those who want to watch the show and shop at the same time, they're already open everyday and will have replays of the show. Just be there from 6-8PM, I went to the Parking 1B market place also earlier and found some really cute toys for Christmas. I guess it's time to get those cute god sons and god daughters some of Ninong's presents. 

Thanks Ortigas and Company for having us during the launch! It was so cool!

A Song Of Praise Competition Year 5

I've covered last year's ASOP finals where people from the industry, professionals and amateur song writers pitted against each other to vie for a championship of a different kind, because only songs of praise are allowed and dedicated to the one above! The competition was made and founded by the same people behind UHF Channel UNTV particularly Brother Eli Soriano and everybody's Kuya Daniel Razon. They did it with good reasons and it's thrust is to dedicate these songs for the glory of God. The finalist have gone through grueling eliminations and the last 12 performed live at the Araneta Coliseum. I arrived a bit late but was shocked to have heard their guest performer, no less than world renowned girl group and Filipino pride 4th Impact!

Here are the performances, make sure you watch it til the end!

In the end they declared for the People's Choice Award Jonathan Sta Rita who composed Ikaw Lamang interpreted by Tim Pavino. They also awarded Best Interpreters : Jason Fernandez and had it tied with Bugoy Drilon whilst 3rd Runner Up went to Mula Sa Aking Puso tied with You Stood By Me. They also got 2nd Runner Up for my personal favorite Araw at Ulan and the 1st Runner Up to God Will Always Make A Way. The crowd favorite got placed Grand Champion with the song Kumapit Ka Lang.

Congratulations to all the winners! The one above will bless you more with what yoh have dedicated for him!

A Day With Mister Potato Purple Sweet Potato Crisps!

I'm starting the day with Purple love as Malaysian brand Mister Potato comes to the Philippines with their flagship product Mister Potato Purple Sweet Potato Crisps. They're already in 90 countries worldwide and this is the first time they're doing it in Manila and they're raring to give us a glimpse on how it feels to enjoy their other flavors that's been fondly loved by patrons at the Trinoma Activity Center today!

The sweet potato natural flavor was the best! I like how crisp and earthy it is plus it's not that salty. It's got a little bit of natural sweetness too, totally different from the potato variant.

The potato variants come in different flavors, this one is my best bet which is Hot and Spicy. If you're out drinking with friends, this would be so good with beer. Don't tell the kids I told you that. 

The Barbecue variant was a little smoky, not that intense which I think would be preferred by most people. I like this one too.

The Original flavor tastes a bit like the competitor but quite less salty. Now that's good news for snack addicts who don't want too much sodium in their diet. 

The Cheese flavor was also super good, I was already licking my fingers to get those cheese flavors that I wanted from it. Maybe you'll find this even better than that other potato chip in a can. 

This was okay, I tasted it but had to go away from it because I'm allergic to this flavor. (Weird I know), but for those who love things with the sour cream and onion taste, you'll get it greatly from here.

They also let us play at the mall's atrium, pretty fun way of getting acquainted with a new brand, that's not as expensive as the other one, but probably even better!

It was a nice purple day indeed! Now where's that can of purple sweet potatoes I was munching on earlier... oh it's already gone. LOL!
