Aside from being known as “Abalos country” and the Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong City in Metro Manila would soon have another attraction that will forever be linked to it’s name – GIANT SIOPAO. For those of you who do not know what a siopao is, a siopao is a Chinese steamed bread buns filled with pork, chicken, egg, vegetables and a sweet filling. Siopao is best served with ketchup or the maker’s own unique siopao sauce. The maker of this Giant siopao is PVL Food House. They sell this humongous, giant, siopao for P 120.00. Purportedly the largest in the Philippines, this giant siopao is about 4 times bigger than the ordinary Siopao and weighs about a kilo. The average male eater can consume this giant siopao within 15 minutes as timed on Technomarine watches :-) I still have not tasted this giant Siopao, perhaps when I go to Manila someday I will be able to drop by Mandaluyong and try out this insanely huge Siopao. I learned about this giant siopao through Inquirer.net video. … [Read more...]
What the Gospel is truly about
Years ago while attending a Baptist Youth Congress, I heard that during the conference, a young man was taught what the gospel is all about by a Bible student. After saying the “sinner's Prayer” the young man was asked by his friends if he was already “saved.” With a look of surprise the young man replied “Saved ?” “Is that what being saved is” To my mind this young man doesn’t have the faintest idea on what the Gospel is truly all about. Unfortunately this scenario is repeated thousands of times every day even in the most orthodox of evangelical circles. The real message of what the Gospel is truly all about has been watered down to a gospel of “easy-believism.” Today most people when presented with this watered down gospel do not understand the commitment involved when one is explained what the Gospel is all about. Nevertheless, God has continued to raise men throughout the centuries to stand firm, steadfast and committed to communicating the truth about what the Gospel is as … [Read more...]
My Christmas wish list for December 2008
I had only one item on my Christmas wish list last December 2007 and you can read it at my post entitled “One of the gifts I hope I will get for Christmas” That item in my Christmas wish list last year came true. So I am posting a Christmas wish list for this year again, I hope it will become true hehehehehe For this year, I also have one item on my Christmas wish list. Perhaps my Christmas wish list might also give you an idea on what to give this Christmas to your loved one. The only item on my Christmas wish list this year is an ebook reader. People who know me quite well will not be surprised why this is the only item on my Christmas wish list. I am such a voracious reader. I could finish off 2 to 3 books a month aside from my regular daily reading in my work. An ebook reader would help me save on books since it is a lot cheaper to purchase then printed books for obvious reasons. Some say it is also environmentally friendly; others might however disagree with this … [Read more...]
Nostradamus 2009 socio-economic-political prediction
A brilliant stock market analyst and economist found a Nostradamus 2009 prediction hidden in the top of Nostradamus pajamas. He claims he had a hard time translating the Nostradamus 2009 prediction from medieval French. The Nostradamus 2009 prediction was amazingly accurate. I was surprised how Nostradamus was very good in rhyming the words of the Nostradamus 2009 prediction. The Nostradamus 2009 prediction includes the catastrophes that hit us in 2008 and furthers gives us a glimpse of what 2010 holds. Here is the Nostradamus 2009 prediction: “For the year two thousand eight, it will be too bad to contemplate. It will start with a deep recession that will become a great depression. A million people will lose their dwelling and unemployment will be swelling. House prices will keep declining but there will be no silver lining. And President Bush whose sheer inertia gets him booted out of Persia. A bearded one named Ben Bernanke will regulate the hanky panky. He will … [Read more...]
Follow Warren Buffett’s signal on when to buy stocks – Part 1
Warren Buffett is undoubtedly the world’s best investor. Aside from his excellent ability to analyze a company’s fundamentals, he is also very good in knowing when to buy stocks and when to sell it. While knowing when to sell is quite tricky, knowing when to buy stocks the Warren Buffett way is easy. The ideal on when to buy stocks is to “Buy low and sell high.” Ironically most people only pay lip service to this fundamental principle on when to buy stocks because what most are doing is exactly the opposite. For example in 2007 people were asking the “experts” when to buy stocks. The “experts” said “now” in order not to be left behind. The Philippine stock index (PSEi) was at 3800 points (from a mere 1000+ points) The “experts” at that time were saying that it will reach 4400 points. At 3000 points, people want a slice of the action so they jumped into the band wagon and bought when stocks were at its all time high. The PSEi eventually reached 3800 points but never went … [Read more...]
