My New Sony Mini HI-FI Component System

Just bought my new Sony Mini HI-FI Component System a few days ago. The whole system is superb, specially the direct radiation subwoofer. The sound is worth the price. I enjoy playing all available CD's I have in my collection rack. The system can play any DVD video mode, VR mode, audio CD, video CD, or any data CD format containing MP3 audio tracks, JPEG image files or DivX video files. Aside from these features, a multi port for walkman phones and other portable devices is included. There is also a USB port for USB device which can play MP3 audio tracks only.

To sum it all, the Mini Hi-Fi system features 3 Disc DVD changer, Karaoke Function, MP3/JPEG playback, USB Function and Digital Media Port, a 7,900W power output.

Now I'm enjoying watching my DVD collections. Two thumbs up!

The Great Manny Pacquiao

I was never been a fan of Manny Pacquiao (although he is a national pride of our country). Nor do I seldom watch a boxing game at my own will, unless someone will persuade me (I despised seeing blood coming out of the boxers face and the punches they hurled to each other, it makes me puke). Until my officemates convinced me to watch the fight of Manny Pacquiao with Ricky Hatton this morning at the Internet room, I now became a fan of Pacman as what they called him. Suddenly, my doubt was erased as I was amazed and stunned how Pacman demolished and destroyed the current IBO light welterweight champion in just 2 rounds with an amazing and deadly left hook that took the Englishmen flattened on the ring and was hospitalized.

It was indeed a glorious moment for every single Filipino watching Manny Pacquiao winning this match. I myself cannot explain this enormous pride. For me, Manny symbolizes greatness in his sport, greater than Muhammad Ali as what Bob Arun emphasized. He is the greatest boxer alive, pound for pound, no doubt! Congratulations Manny, you really makes us proud as a Filipino. From now on, I will be one of your legion and million fans around the world. The greatness in you will forever be recorded in the history of sports. You are "The Great Manny Pacquiao".

Tony's B' Day

It was my friend Tony's b'day last April 16. We had a unique time dining together at KUDU, our favorite food hang-out near Corniche at Al-Khobar. Eating out is our weakness especially that we ordered our favorite Kudu Chicken Lunch Meal, with strawberry cheesecake of course. Here are some snapshots of the special occasion.

Here are more snapshots of the Sea Park in Al-Khobar Water Front. I just love taking pictures of this place. It's a sight to behold and the tranquility of the morning is just relaxing while walking.

After The Rain

There are struggles along the way
In our life’s journey everyday
The pain and laughter that joins together
We experienced the learning after the rain.

We love and we hurt
To someone who never cares
You give the best you got
As if you are far apart

The process of life is uncertain
You never know when it will end
Live as the day will never stop
At the rainbow’s end you will find the path

After a stormy whether there is always a sunshine

A light which radiates that is send by almighty divine

To remind us of life's colorful and precious time

That after the rain a ray of light will truly shine
