Kuya Andrew, Migs, Dom, and I met up this afternoon to visit Museo Dabawenyo. It has been formally inaugurated but i has been open to the public for quite some time. The first floor is home to Indigenous Peoples' Gallery and the Moro Peoples' Gallery where artifacts and photos of the 5 Davao tribes are showcased. It also showcased the colorful arts, culture, and way of living of the people of Davao. The Moro Peoples' gallery was set against a nice mural by the Fine Arts students of a local college. The mural shows an idyllic beach side community in Davao. In the second floor is the Memorabilia Gallery which houses artifacts and information from various points of Davao City's history. My favorite part of the museum was the Nanay Soling Duterte Hall Modern Art Gallery. It contained interesting pieces of art that portrayed the different facets of Davao life and celebrated the tri-people culture of Davao. Tri-people pertains to the three groups of Davaoeños which have been living and working harmoniously: the Indigenous Peoples, the Christians, and the Muslims. The gallery also contained my favorite piece in the gallery, a very colorful, eye-catching, piece of art called Sarimanok: It…

The Ford GT
I don't drive... errr... but I went to the GoodYear Media Forum coz I was once an F1 fan and I used to cover and help organize drag races and car shows. PLUS, A FORD GT WOULD BE ON DISPLAY! And there it was... unveiled before our very eyes, on the Ballroom of the Marco Polo hotel, a Ford GT (one of only 2,00pimped with a set of GoodYear tires, only 14 inches from the ground... It was beautiful! The Ford GT was a delight to see. Would have loved it more if it were in another color though. :P Photos taken by Brian Bonguyan using a Canon Ixus 70 and by Ria using an N95.

I found this nifty YouTube video with 1980s cartoons... Hay! I miss my childhood! My favorite was Ghostbusters and I begged my Mommy to buy me a Marshmallow Man action figure and got one from "Santa Claus" one Christmas! :D

Things I Learned from Watching 21
I watched 21 with my cousins last Saturday. I was ok, nothing spectacular. I was annoyed by the love angle. Bah! Anyway, here are some things I learned while watching 21: Jim Sturgess eeez hot especially when he plays a geeky guy. (Note to self: Must watch Across the Universe!) Even if I do legal things, I can get the shit kicked out of me by goons. Even if I study/teach at THE MIT, I can be stupid by using OBVIOUS gestures and signals and think I will not get caught. There are smart hawt girls (represented by Kate Bosworth who was annoying in the movie). Hi-tech biometric devices cannot kick people's asses... or can it? I went to the wrong geek school. I should have gone to MIT where people are hot!!! I am geekier than most people. YUN LANG! PS I did not plagiarize or steal these ideas or words. PPSS I am not a plagiarizer.
