"east meets the west"



An unforgettable fight of the TWO unbelievable boxers:

Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao vs. Ricky “Hitman” Hatton/ East meets West fight/ May 3, 2009


By. Billy and Pin dela Fuente


Billy and I woke up early of May 3, 2009 around 7:00am and went straight to Crowne Plaza Manila to watch the most awaited fight of our very own

Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao vs. Ricky “Hitman” Hatton. As we enter the grand ballroom of the hotel, a lot of Filipinos were already

waiting. The good thing is buffet breakfast is served as part of the pack

age. Hooray!!!At 10:45am, the boxers were introduced: Ricky Hatton has been one of Britain’s most successful sportsmen for years and Manny Pacquiao has the people’s champ from the Philippines. Pacquiao is the most entertaining current boxer in my opinion because of his lightning quick style. He comes at other boxers without fear, and that is certainly something to watch. Hatton has a stellar record with only his recent loss to Floyd Mayweather tainting his career. Pacquiao is used to fighting smaller guys, having risen through the weight classes to where he is now. His fight, if it can be called that, against De La Hoya was his first at light welterweight. Meanwhile Hatton has been fighting consistently around 140 his entire career. This should be a great matchup of two tough fighters.

Everybody inside the grand ballroom is cheering every time the camera focuses on Manny. To our dismay, the whole match lasted for merely less than 10 minutes. Manny Pacquiao beats Ricky Hatton via technical knockout in the second round in MGM Grand Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada, snatching the light welterweight crown and carving his name as one of the legends in boxing history. Pacquiao cemented his claim to being the best pound-for-pound boxer Saturday night with a spectacular performance that ended with Hatton sprawled out on the canvas after a devastating left hand to the head late in the second round. Pacquiao is now the new IBO Light-Welterweight Champion of the world!







“With one ferocious blow from Manny Pacquiao, Ricky Hatton’s amazing career is laid to rest...”

Cheers flooded the place and the spectacular view of seeing Filipinos unite for a very special occasion is simply priceless! Go Manny!!!

Paradise by a Hundred: Pangasinan Alaminos Trip February 2008 By. Billy and Pin dela Fuente

Last minute trips are always exciting and unpredictable. My Billy always tell me to be spontaneous when it comes to things that I do. It may lead to something good or something bad, but one thing will always be for sure… It is what you deserve in the end.

As an active entrepreneur, my hubby doesn’t only do his business in the areas of Manila but he will definitely take his chances outside the city. One sunny morning we found our way to Pangasinan, the “salt city of the philippines”. After discussing his business to some locals, we decided to go on a road trip (like we always do) and finally ended in a place called ALAMINOS, PANGASINAN.Paradise by a Hundred is what I call it!!! Upon arrival in the port of the Hundred Islands, for a moment, feel like you were a sailor discovering your own piece of land. White sand, islands with different shapes, virgin undeveloped beaches, and boatmen that you have to depend on. Don't forget to tell them when you will be picked up or else you have to set a bonfire on top of the island praying that someone will rescue you. Hehehe!!! Kidding..

Our trip to the General’s Island, Childrens and Quezon Islands were all remarkable. We did enjoy our stay in an unknown Island the most because we have the whole island for ourselves. This experience is really fun and exciting; the whole island is different from other islands in site.











A perfect place to do sun bathing and do picnic along the shores of the islets. A historic place is a must see and the Hundred Islands is one historic place that you shouldn’t miss. Another unforgettable adventure of my Billy and me. =) ADIOS!

A place that words can’t describe: BORACAY Adventure November 9-11 By. Billy and Pin dela Fuente



I do not know of words to describe...but only this..BEST! This place will leave its mark in your mind and you’ll always crave to come back again and again. Boracay is definitely the extension of the MAKATI crowd during summer season. The only difference is that you do not wear your branded clothes, your expensive jewelries and you don't show off your sportscar.

Our vacation to the famous Boracay Island meant a lot to me and my husband Billy. It is the place and time where our minds just let go of our usual life in the city and for once we just sat in the perfect sands and watch people frolic in the beach and of course view the magnificent sunset as we drink the famous Mango shake of Joey’s shake bar. The place that we stayed in is not as popular in name as in other hotels here in Boracay Island but the fact that it is really the best for me because its comfortable and you’ll feel a piece of France in the islands of Boracay.The rooms are tidy and spacious, the service is excellent, the staffs are friendly, and the food...is good!





My husband Billy and I really enjoyed our stay in Boracay. As sunset dawns, we walked along the beachfront as we check out shops and bars and people having fun. And every night we would walk back and forth to stations one to three and see different local activities in the beach front. Very interesting! Although Boracay is known for its nightlife and parties, exploration of marine life by scuba/snorkel & reef walking on the small islands that surround Boracay. There are caves to explore, the long black beach to stroll on, and best of all the whole stretch of restaurants that waits for the arrival of your hungry stomach. YUM!!! During the day, although we were not able to do those famous activities due to my delicate situation (im pregnant … Smiles) its still the best vacation that we had because we were able to relax, unwind, celebrate our first anniversary and best of all plan for our future together.


Our adventure in Boracay can be considered as a time for soul searching and preparation for something that has yet to come. It is a perfect place that can always heal and strengthen a relationship that will be soon tested.
