Pacquiao vs Mosley - 09 May 2011

ABBEY:

At first I thought Manny will have a hard time fighting with Mosley. I was wrong. There are differences on height and reach, but that doesn't stop Pacquiao to defend his title.

We watched their fight, including the undercards. As the main fight is about to begin, Charice sang the Philippine national anthem. It was great, very simple. Then followed by US anthem. The ring annoncer introduced Mosley but it was when he's presenting Pacquiao that the crowd went wild. It only lasted until the 3rd when Mosley was knocked down. They exchanged punches until the 12th round disappointing the viewers for not seeing an interesting fight. It was on the 10th round when Manny got pissed off.  The referree ruled a knock down against him while it was just a push from his opponent. In the end, it was a unanimous decision in the favor of the Sarangani representative. 

Good job, Manny!

WILL: Very happy to see that Manny won this fight. Shame ay este Shane Mosley likes to hug Manny a lot. Is he in love with Pacman? hehe.. 
      The fierce on Mosley's eyes were gone when he was hit by Manny. I am on the verge of sleeping as my husband screamed when Pacman fell.
      Basta nanalo si Manny. Oks na oks :)   
       

The Sulo Riviera Hotel

ABBEY: This is the closest hotel to our wedding venue. It is located at Matalino Road, Diliman, Quezon City.  A very good one compared to any other hotel around Quezon Ave. They have nice line of staff which caters the clients to meet their needs. We booked their Ambassador's Suite for 3 days and 2 nights. Someone would think, its not that cheap but its very reasonable. We had a complementary wine, fruit basket, mannequin for the wedding gown, a discounted price for the suite and an extension room, and six passes for breakfast buffet. The room was large that includes a dining area, living room, walk-in closet, and master's bedroom. Our stay there is great. Special thanks to Patrice, Lloyd and their front desk officers :)

WILL: I am rooting for the aquarium room of Manila Ocean Park but our venue was on QC. 

Makati and ortigas had the nicest hotel that i know but traffic blocked the idea.
Searching for last minute, we found this Sulo Riviera, automatically looked for their banquet team, then met patrice. She showed us the different rooms then we came up to occupy the ambassador suite. A very large room that have a walk-in closet. An entertainment room, small garden and an extension room that we also rented out. This ambassador suite costs us 16000php per night and my haggling powers? Di umubra. Ha! But any way worthy di naman kami araw araw naghohotel. Hehe.
Ayun, suggestions for the hotel? Lagyan nila ng jacuzzi or bathtub ang bathroom. Sila lang napunthan ko na hotel na executive room na walang gnun, hmp! 

Earth Day @ Starbucks

ABBEY: This was celebrated by Starbucks last April 22. To participate in Earth Day, they encourage their patrons to go to any Starbucks branch with their own Starbucks mug to get a FREE brewed coffee. With this they won't be using paper cups to serve coffee and they can help the environment to conserve paper resources. They filled our mugs to full. We redeemed it in their Tampines branch. We enjoyed our coffee and we participated in the Earth Day in our own little way.

ABBEY:

WILL: Holiday! Earth Day! Starbucks giving away free coffee. The conditions?, bring your starbucks tumbler...easy. 

            We went at their Tampines Mall branch.
            The greatest thing, after this event, starbucks will slash 0.50$ per order if you bring your own tumbler. You save money...you save mother earth :)
