After weeks of productive break and various real life matters, I present some pictures from the recent Metro ComiCon at the SM Megamall Convention Center.
This is my first time attending a big local event and I could say that I quite had fun.
The Comicon.. of course is more about comics, but what I can see is that most of the cosplays and stuff are anime related. There were of course real comics and locally produced ones…

At last a rise in Filipino pride once again!
Azkals Philippines 2 – Mongolia 0
AFC Challenge Cup February 9 2011
Panaad Stadium at Bacolod full with Filipino fans waiting since 3pm, the crowd is getting wild as the Philippines is getting back on the International Football scene. The Azkals sets pressure on Mongolia for almost the entire game. In the first few minutes there was already an attempt by the Filipino striker James Younghusband as he promised to do so. In mid first half, Mongolia’s number 9 received a red card for consecutive fouls and was sent out, this took a tremendous blow on the Mongolian defense, now they are down to a 10 man team. Late in the game on the first-half, Philippines scored against Mongolia and the crowd went wild for the first time! Chieffy Caligdong’s 3 great moves proved his top notch skills. More and more attempts were made soon after and the Philippines kept the pressure against Mongolia.
On the second half, Philippines still gave pressure against Mongolia and made more attempts. Shots were on target but Mongolia’s keeper wasn’t to be reckoned with. Shot after shot, Mongolia’s defense is getting maimed as the Azkals kick their way in. It would have been more than a 4 – 0 lead if the ball didn’t hit the post, the bar and tipped by the keeper, every shot was incredible.
Throughout most of the game, the Philippines had great composure except for a few sloppy passes made, but that didn’t down the Azkals, in fact they were occupying almost three fourths of the field and is relaxed while just passing the ball back and forth the pitch. Neil Etheridge is seen mostly out of his territory since the pressure against Mongolia is so strong that he doesn’t almost have anything much to do other than wait for some counter-attacks. Etheridge the keeper even almost had a goal from his long pass way down the field.
As the time is setting to close at 90 minutes, Mongolia is having hopes on keeping a 0 – 1 score since it would be acceptable and manageable because it’s a home-away game and they can have a come-back on the next match at their own home field . Although at the late stoppage time, Phil Younghusband scored a dream shattering goal against Mongolia and finally had the 2 – 0 lead!
Eto maganda ‘to

My classmates decided to have some fun for action, I’m glad that I was invited, proving that I’m not that invisible anymore (but I think it’s better to still be like that, since it’s good for ninja photography).
So we went to this place called Oh La La, it’s really far, located at Muladbukad(?), Guinobatan, Albay.
I’m glad that I remembered to bring my camera there. So then I took some pics before I got wet in the pool.
I went around to take some pics, but I get lost frequently, so I just don’t get far.
The place is really big, I still can’t even memorize where I’ve been strolling around.
So anyway, I just took some pics randomly…

Full Metal Alchemist, ready to air in Philippine Television via Animax on April 10. It will be the same week as the Japanese telecast of the show.
This would be Animax Asia’s first same-week broadcast deal. Under this agreement, fans across Asia will be able to watch exclusively on Animax, the long-awaited new series that follows the top-rated Full Metal Alchemist series, within just six days after each new episode that premieres in Japan.
Fans would be likely excited by this, as this would boost the Otaku level in the Philippines. We just hope that more of deals would come up so that we could enjoy as much anime as japan does.

Former first lady Imelda Marcos has become amongst 11 of the “greediest people of all time” worldwide by Newsweek magazine.
