The fam spent Friday afternoon at the Sharjah Aquarium along Al Khan road in Sharjah. We have been planning to visit for the past few months but the really hot and humid weather prevented us from doing so.
However, Friday afternoon proved to be very pleasant, as the early signs of the winter season have been seeping in, making it comfortable to romp around in the outdoors.
Chino was very excited with the idea that he was going to see some really big fish and some otyher exotic types. Here are some of the shots i took last Friday;
One of the first things you see when you start the tour is a makeshift pond with some fish swimming about. There is a viewdeck like area where you can see the fishes while swimming.
It feels like ages since my last post on the blog. As I have previously stated, I have this recurring Blogger’s Block that just wreaks havoc on me when this time of the year comes in.
That, and the other excuse of having too much work on my plate just does it.

Congratulations go out to Senator Mar Roxas and his new bride, Korina Sanchez.
I think the new couple deserve a pat on the back for deciding on not throwing a lavish reception bash but instead chose to decide all two million pesos to various charities in an effort to help out the victims of the recent typhoons in the Philippines.
That puts them out to a good start on married bliss…..

Senator Chiz Escudero has bolted out of the NPC household and said if he does announce the intention of running for President in 2010, he would do it as his own man.
Honestly, Chiz had my vote earlier, when he was pretty much glamour boy in the limelight. However, his dilly-dallying is making him lose them all to Noynoy, who, eventually, still has got a lot of getting used to in terms of being the next big thing in Philippine politics.

Popular TV personality Ryan Agoncillo (no, we don’t want to say Mr. Judy Ann here), has now joined the Eat Bulaga family as one of their new regular hosts.
You got to hand it over to the EB Team to maintain a balance of the social classes when it comes to the hosts on their show. For them, I guess, its not all Bikini clad women and good looking women that make up for good ratings. Tell that to Willie…

I saw the trailer for Patient X and was just blown away. We are getting so close to being very Hollywood like in terms of the movies we churn out.
Can’t wait to get my copy. (Yes, ill watch it)

Pearl Jam is back with a new album called Backspacer. The new single, The Fixer, just blows me out of my mind. Although, there have been a slew of PJ albums over the years, I think this one is the best and most fulfilling work to date, with the whole Pearl Jam sound of the 90’s in place.
Worth a listen when you can. In fact, why don't you give it a listen here...
For the past five years that I have maintained this blog, come September to October, I completely zonk out and fall into a bad case of, what I have called blogger’s block.
It is at this period that I find nothing to write about, despite the presence of new materials, which I could go on and rant about.
As much as I want to write something down, nothing inspires me to do the necessary.
Not even a new Willie controversy nor a Mommy Dionisia scandal could prod me out of it.
Oh well. I hope I get over it soon.
Anyways, here's a short clip of the missus singing at the recent Sing for a Cause event which was held in Reef Mall here in Dubai. The effort was part of the ongoing drive to raise funds and relief goods to send over to the victims of the typhoons which have ravaged the Philippines. Watch Chino and see his naughty antics while his mom sings nearby.
