Snapshots of the Azkals-UFC Alyanza vs. CF Internacional de Madrid

-
It was a fun match, with the Azkals losing to the Spaniards 1-3. But the real winners are the recipients of the 10,000 euro financial aid from the Spanish Embassy. They are also auctioning jerseys from Real Madrid, one signed by all the team members and one signed by Ronaldo, the Portuguese star player of Real Madrid. There were two touching moments during the game. One was when Jed Madela sang the song, You'll never walk alone, which is actually the anthem of Liverpool Football club. The other one was when a message of sympathy and support for the victims were read in 3 languages: Filipino, Bisaya and Spanish.

Anyway, here are some of the scenes from the Grandstand during that charity match:

One blogger said that Azkals could handedly defeat the Spaniards. And I have said I have a hunch that PH Askalz couldn't make it and I'm right. I will not elaborate why.

I'm sorry to say this but I may enjoy watching soccer once in a while, the Azkals need to stop posing and start practicing.

They have a long way to go!

Azkals should focus on sports. That is their craft. If they will be in showbiz all the time, baka mawala lang ang galing nila. Focus lang.

I'm not really a fan of football but I'm glad that the Philippines is starting to get recognized because of the Azkals. They play well but still too small compared to the Europeans.

Visita Iglesia: Tracing The Pilgrim's StepsIn Europe Part Two

Town-hopping from one historic place to another in Europe has given me the opportunity to appreciate not only the local colors but at the same time the wonderful architecture of the place, especially its churches and cathedrals. More than just the structural beauty, the story behind every building is equally astounding. 1. Messina, Sicily, Italy - I happened to walk around town all by myself and I found my way to the Doumo of Messina. This historic Cathedral boasts its very tall bell tower which every noon time sounds the alarm with a spectacular show of moving statues adorning the bell tower and the church. Inside the church are huge statues of Christ's apostles. The park right outside the Cathedral is beautiful as well, with locals gathering to talk with friends or find some private moment with a book and a cappuccino in a nearby restaurant. 2. St. Peter's Basilica - I found myself truly blessed when I had the opportunity to visit Rome and stand at St. Peter'...

When Dining Inside A Museum: Romulo Cafe

Image
Last night, the Zuellig Family Foundation held its annual Christmas Party at the Romulo Cafe in Makati. It was my first time to step inside Romulo Cafe but it was not as intimidating as some high class restos are. It is definitely a highly recommended place to dine or hang out with family and friends, whether you are talking about the most trivial things in life or closing a business deal. Romulo Cafe is named after the famous Filipino diplomat, Carlos P. Romulo. History class would teach us that Romulo was the first President of the United Nations General Assembly. It is owned by the granddaughter of the diplomat and the idea was not only to share good food but also good lessons in history. Upon entering the restaurant, one would not miss the many framed pictures highlighting the many moments in the life of Carlos Romulo. The second floor appears to be almost like a museum. The maze like pattern of the wall paper creates a contemporary atmosphere but the comfortable sofas and pil...

The Weekend in Tallinn

I have just come back from Helsinki where we spent 2 days for the practical part of our Global health course. I am now blogging from Tampere, tired and with a sore back. During the weekend, we have been carrying our backpacks and running around Tallinn, the beautiful capital of Estonia. It was my second European country to visit and I loved the place. It was beautiful and the old medieval buildings almost brought me to another dimension. For one, the trip going to Tallinn from Helsinki was already exciting. It was my first boat ride across the Baltic Sea, aboard Viking Express. The ship was huge and inside the ship was a grocery, dozens of food shops and bars, a dance floor, even a couple of playrooms for the kids. It was almost surreal. When we docked at Tallinn, it was a long walk to our Hotel where we immediately left our bags and headed outside to the Old Town where a lot of tourists were also finding their way in the labyrinthine cobblestone streets of the historic city. Of course...
