I got four (4) Bronze tickets to The Doll Domination Concert of Pussycat Dolls from Mica courtesy of Unilever. I invited a friend from Laguna to watch the PCD concert but decided not to go because of tardiness, despite that I also need rest and some web jobs to prioritize.

I also did not attend the MySandbox Grand Media Launch at the Bureau where numerous of hot models and guests participated. I regret for not having SkullCandy Headphones giveaway during the launch teehee.

Ako Mismo declared the Ako Mismo Dog Tag Day at the Bonifacio Global City Open Field in Taguig City on June 12, 2009. Each dog tag costs P40. Some people received the email invite in flooded manner.

At first, I’m not aware the my sister went there with her boyfriend, so I immediately text her to buy me a Dog Tag.

Though I’m aware that there are negative feedback about Ako Mismo, it cleared up my mind when they settled their new Privacy Policy and created FAQs page, so why not give them a chance?

Edu Manzano was rumored founder of Ako Mismo, which later on will use as his political campaign as well as PLDT and SMART. Ako Mismo clarified this statement and confirmed that those are not true.

Those were the three events I did not attend (DNA). Phew.

The Voyage of the Balangay has just started last June 2009. In Manila, the Balangay landed near Harbor Square, Manila Bay. We conquered the stormy weather just to experience the great ancient vessel: the Balangay.

Balangay was used by our ancestors to sail across the the oceans. I’ve seen it personally and I can say that this kind of boat is amazing and built faithfully. It is huge, and looks invulnerable to ocean waves.

The main objective of The Voyage of Balangay is Boat Building. The authentic Balangay will be crafted by master boat builders from the Island of Sibutu and Sitangkay in Tawi-Tawi, whose skills had been handed down through generations.

This will not only showcase the capability of the Filipino boat builders but would also be our way of instilling and propagating the idea among the present Filipinos, particularly the youth, that the Filipinos have been world-class boat builders even before the coming of the Western colonizers.

These are the sailing route of Balangay based on the projected timetable.

2009 The Philippines
2010 Southeast Asia
2011 Micronesia and Madagascar
2012 Sail across the Pacific onward to the Atlantic, all the way around the world
2013 Back home to the Philippines

The Balangay Building will be headed by the Philippine Mount Everest Expedition. Their team leader Art Valdez has an organizational expertise and rich experience that can serve as the guiding light in the accomplishment of this project, his new “Everest.”

The Balangay will become the catalyst to stir up historical consciousness among Filipinos today. Without that keen knowledge of history, our people will continue to suffer as our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, aptly described, “Ang taong hindi lumilingon sa pinanggalingan ay hindi makakarating sa patutunguhan.”

Kaya ng Pinoy!
