Manny Pacquiao and his thoughts on same-sex marriage.

As you may already know about the controversial statements uttered by senator -candidate, professional boxer, and Congressman Manny Pacquiao, regarding/about his thoughts on same-gender marriage.

Every person is entitled to his/her/their opinion. And I have nothing against the LGBT community.

Many people, especially from the LGBT group, angered/pissed on his statements.

But in my humble opinion, it (is) his use/choice of words that made him in hot water. On the next morning, he apologises.

On these videos regarding home-based jobs.

It's been a long time that I'm looking for a home-based job, even a sideline job. I'm a "messenger" in a condominium in Ortigas Center.

I don't have some of the requirements of the companies here in the Philippines that offer home-based jobs.

The first video feature Essays.ph, the one behind Philippine Blogging Awards. The video is in Tagalog/Filipino.



The following video is in English.



The next two (2) videos are in English, and in Filipino/Tagalog.

McDonald's Double Filet-O-Fish

I didn't know that McDonald's Double Filet-O-Fish is back. After I attended an Ash Wednesday mass held in Ortigas Park (article: 2016 Ash Wednesday), I decided to order Fillet-O-Fish meal from McDonald's in SM Megamall. When I was in queue/line, I noticed in their menu board that they offer Double Fillet-O-Fish, aside from Fillet-O-Fish.

I think McDonald's offer the Double Fillet-O-Fish only during Lent. I remember it was on their menu board last year.



The Double Filet-O-Fish has two patty of filleted fish. The taste is the same. The prices for regular fries and drink, medium fries and drink, and fries and drink are bit pricey/expensive.

2016 Ash Wednesday

This evening, I attended an Ash Wednesday on Ortigas Park. Ortigas Park is near my office. It is located between Ruby Road and F. Ortigas Avenue*.

The aforementioned mass is a 6 PM mass. The priest, I think and based on his accent, is of Indian descent. The mass itself ended at 7:30 PM. I arrived at the house where I live around at least 10 PM.

* Formerly Emerald Avenue.

2016 Chinese/Lunar New Year: Year of the Fire Monkey

My paternal grandmother is a Filipino-Chinese. And my family don't celebrate Chinese/Lunar New Year.

I don't know whose idea to have an afternoon snack in the vacant lot. This vacant lot is just in front of our house. We live in Valenzuela City, and Binondo is in City of Manila. Binondo is referred as the city's Chinatown. I don't know exactly in Manila, but Binondo is located there.

Like I mentioned before. My parents, my older brother and his wife, my two nephews & I had an afternoon snack. We had Coke with ice, Regent's Tempura, two bags of popcorn (one is regular flavour, and the other is cheese flavour), and tikoy (naan gao or nian gao, in Cantonese).
