I’ve been thinking of having a vacation with a group of friends and Vietnam is on top of my Southeast Asian destinations. First, it’s Third World so I will not need a lot of money to go there. Second, Vietnam and the Philippines are both members of the ASEAN so we don’t need a Visa to visit Vietnam as tourists.

But I must admit, Martin Nievera’s version was better than the others before him. Apparently, it was approved by the National Historial Institute which means it …

This is funny if not downright hilarious from where I’m sitting.  Google posted on its blog that the company rents goats to replace the lawnmower in cutting grass from the fields around its headquarters.
It’s their way of reducing carbon emission since mowers run on gasoline that produce pollutants. Google rents 200 goats from a company named California Grazing. The goats spend a week in eating the grass and fertilizing the …

Manny Pacquaio TKOs Ricky Hatton on the second round of their fight. Pacquiao knocked down Hatton twice in the first round then hit Hatton with a left in the second that sent Hatton flat on his back on the canvas.
