Really?! I visited the University of San Carlos Talamban Campus, USC-TC, few days ago and didn’t know that there is a newly-opened USC butterfly sanctuary in the campus. I could have seen what it’s like and if indeed it can become a good tourist attraction in Cebu city.

According to the USC report, the 500-square meter Butterfly Sanctuary is located within the eight-hectare Nature Park at Talamban Campus and is open to the public.

Opening hours: Monday to Saturday from 8:00AM to 5:00PM
Admission fee: Php 15.00

SM Arena – Mall of Asia Arena To Open Soon

20 Aug

Proposed multipurpose SM MOA Arena

Even with just the prospect of having a huge world-class arena that can accommodate big international events excites me. Now, it seems that SM will make everything happen with the construction of the SM Mall of Asia Arena aka SM Arena. According to some details I found online, the state-of-the-art venue is expected to hold a seating capacity of 16,000 to 20,000 people. This will compete with the largest indoor arena in the Philippines, the Araneta Coliseum, which can hold 25,000 people.

The Araneta Coliseum is old. It was constructed in 1960. The last biggest arena built in the country was in 1993, the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay City, which has a capacity of 10,000. It is, indeed, high time to construct a new one and, surely, the SM Arena will put the Philippines back in the world map. We need world-class arenas to attract big international acts to come to the country, don’t we?

Cross Country Soaring: Best Gliding Experience in Faribault Minnesota

10 Aug

The Glider

The easiest way to touch the clouds, literally, is to go gliding. Gliding is less scary than skydiving. While the latter may seem to harness the power of adrenaline due to a quick drop, the former is better in providing a worthwhile flying experience in a much longer time. The first time you try gliding, there will be heart-thumping. It is the same feeling when you ride the roller coaster the very first time, that same sensation when the coaster begins to drop down a steep slope. At times after take-off, you may feel your heartbeat skip, especially during the first few minutes. The “skipping feel” is usually normal, as the glider experiences few sporadic bumps caused by a small powered tow plane connected to it by a rope.

South Dakota Road Conditions Not Surprising

21 Feb

The South Dakota road conditions right now (Monday, Feb 21, 9.30am/c) are nothing but normal to me. Alright, a winter storm warning was issued yesterday and the roads are currently covered with thick snow, but what else is surprising about South Dakota? It has always been like this, as far as I can recall in all the years I have lived in this central State.
