A Filipino Does It Again...

I know this is a very much delayed post, but still worth blogging about.

Yes, fifteen-year-old Eumir Marcial bagged the gold in the Light Bantamweight (52kg) Division of the recently concluded AIBA Junior World Boxing Championships held in Astana, Kazakstan.  He bested the contenders from Turkey (2nd Place, Silver), Korea and Belarus (tied at 3rd Place, Bronze), and he is the first Filipino to do so.

I was teary-eyed as I was watched the latter portion of the video below.  I felt so gallantly proud when the Philippine flag was raised (together with those of the other winners) as the Philippine National Anthem played.  I can't help but feel so damn proud!

PROUD TO BE PINOY!

3x3x3m of Comfy Living Space!

This is one small, albeit functional home!  I can live here!  Seriously!

Called the Cube Project, it is a compact, eco-friendly home fit for a bachelor or bachelorette.

Crammed into a meager space is a receiving/living room area (with provisional space for a washing machine), toilet & bath, kitchen, and a bed.  It is a fully functional house squeezed into a 3 x 3 x 3 meter structure.

With this new architecture, you need not own a big lot to build a modest house.  And by using solar panels, not only is it a space-saver, it's an energy-saver as well.
