I'm back with a bang!

Today was a good day. Ate food with my family, took a walk around the fort, and most importantly, got to watch the fireworks at he mall of Asia.

We paid for a second floor seat and saw the performance. Tonight's performance was a competition between china and Australia. They were both outstanding. China had a beautiful choreographed firework show. Everything timed well with the music and there were a couple of "OUHHHH" moments. Everyone was on the edge of their seat.

Australia (although not as well timed in a performance aspect) did something I have never seen before. LOW FLYING FIREWORKS. So low, that they touched the water! In addition to that were some parachute lights that flickered in the night. I was like, "when are they going away?". They didn't. And the longer they stayed the more people realized how truly special these lights were.

Life is magnificent and its great how a couple of bright lights and millions of people could make you excited and proud to be human.

Feeling great.

It's 4:00 in the morning. I'm designing for our magazine which is to be printed next week. I should be sleepy, tired, delirious.

I should be giving up.

But I'm not. Not tonight.

This idea, the thought of spreading positive ideas while showing people a positive way to live life is just so...invigorating.

Never have I felt like I've been part of something so great and vast. I'm finally creating something that will directly benefit people.

So sleepy? Maybe a little. If I close my eyes for a couple of seconds I'd probably feel it. But no. Not tonight.

I believe in WU manila. And I believe in the good that it'll bring people. Just watch us.

Internet! Internet everywhere!

Today is the start of my new digital life.

For I...

3G!!!

I'm super excited. Hopefully that means the blogging and tweeting will increase. And I can finally have Siri wherever I go instead of my room!

A smile at Starbucks

I love great service. Especially when it comes out of nowhere. While walking to my movie in Rockwell power plant, I picked up a drink at Starbucks and was graced by jaric, charm, and glen. I couldn't help but to talk to these three about my bad service encounter with Jamaican patty (I only have a grudge against that one particular store. Not the brand). Good service is had to find. So when I find it its just like finding treasure. Thanks guys. You really made my day.

Widus- Salt Resturaunt

We decided to stay in today and eat at widus's Resturaunt "SALT". Right off the bat, the staff was very warm and inviting, the waiters prompt, and the waiters VERY attentive to our needs. 1st class service all da' way.

I noticed as I went in, this place feels really posh. Not "I'm a snob posh" more like, "this is what heaven feels like posh". pretty stoaked being in a open room and not some super cramped Resturaunt.

I love it!

Order time! Today I got their fish and chips. Very delicious. I'm a French fry buff and I thought their fried were pretty good. A standard "country club" French fries.

The fish itself was great. It came also with their special sauce.

If your in the mood for good prices, great food and awesome dining, eat at salt! I really liked it.

Thanks widus!

You know what's really inspiring? Help.

Widus in Clark did us a favor and helped us feature them by letting us stay at their facilities. I've never been so happy! More coming up!!

Philippines national dive team

10 meters down. Feet first thank god. "10 sounds so much better than 30", I think to myself walking up to the platform.

As i was talking to Mikal from the punta Fuego resort, he tells me that next month they're is going to have a cliff dive competition. And knowing me, if there is something crazy exciting to do, I'm going to go for it (as long as I can get out of it with life and limb that is.

So follow me on this month's how ron does it. Every wed- sat 0I will be posting on my failures and successes.
