Google Developers Group DevFest Shirt and Swags Pasalubong! Muchas Gracias! :)
The red fever is definitely on! Come to think of it, i got red items coming from every nook! This is absolutely one cool September. Time did not permit for me to attend the Google Developer Group DevFest on the 4th of August this year. I am beyond words when friend and GDG Zamboanga Community Leader brought home some swags for me. He is in town as one of the speakers representing himself as one of the successful local IT talents.

Dancing Fountain @ Paseo Del Mar, Zamboanga City
Tuesday, September 4, 2012
Truly a landmark in Asia's Latin City! Gyrating Musical Dancing Fountain inside Paseo Del Mar is Zamboanga City's Newest Pride.
The Paseo del Mar musically gyrating fountain has a precision coherent pulsating center jet; four explosion jets, which is an add-on; four gazer fountains that spray water with a minimum height of six meters; eight pieces gyrating fountain with two degrees of movement; 24 vertical jets; six fire balls of flames; 114 mist nozzles and 116 led lights.
It is not the first fountain project in the city but definitely the biggest and the most spectacular! It is designed and built by Industrion Inc., a respectable and internationally-known fountain contractor. It does not come cheap though. The dancing fountain is worth P27-million including civil works.
The fountain project is a 25-meter diameter pool that shows off about 30-minute spectacular show. One should expect rhythmic dancing of the water with lights, fire, sound and special effects.
We were in so much awe while enjoying our first-time experience when a visiting friend from Dipolog came to see me in the city. The colorful sight is definitely a must-see!
Comida De Zamboanga @ Sunflower!
Sizzling Sisig craving!
Trust me, I definitely have this insatiable craving for Sizzling Sisig! I love my meal served hot or in a hot plate. Since summer i have been frequenting this resto for lunch or merienda when ever i am in town. I'll cut you in my food craving. Here's the rest of story to this.
Asia's Latin City is proud to have one of pueblo's accessible restaurants which offers a variety of viands and local delicacies in its stock - Sunflower (Comida De Zamboanga).
2nd MozCoffee L10n Sprint in Zamboanga City
Text messages circulated a night prior to the event. There has been an adjustment of the supposed start time considering WichCraft does not open until around ten in the morning. Starting off at 10:30 am instead of the supposed 9:00 am, the event went smoothly with fervent young and techie Mozillians taking most of what the wifi strength could offer by doing LOCALIZATION. Yup, i wrote that correctly. Mozilla Zamboanga hosting the 2nd MozCoffee L10n Sprint here in Asia's Latin City has been busiest ever, aside from thriving, translating Mozilla Module.
The MozCoffee event highlights the Localization Sprint for Chavacano Module for Firefox Aurora. The event was spearheaded by a former colleague, Rj Ian Sevilla, a ReMo and an avid open-source supporter. Thanks for the invitation and muchisimas gracias Mozilla Sponsor! :)
