Filipino food store opens in Peterborough

MJS Sarap Mabuhay, which sells Filipino and Oriental food products, opened up its shop located in the heart of Peterborough city centre last 18th of April.

Located at Unit 1 of 2 Park Road in Peterborough (post code PE1 2TD), MJS Sarap Mabuhay mainly caters to the needs of the growing community of Filipinos in the city and its surrounding towns and villages. The shop is owned and ran by entrepreneurial Filipino couple Sergio and Jennifer Fabian who took heed of the Filipino community’s growing demands for Filipino food products to be sold in the city.

It's all about.me

A few days back, I came across this cool website while watching BBC Click.

Like many others, I have an online presence on many of the available services in the internet. Social networks, blogs, e-mails, you name it chances are I have a profile on it.

And like many others, I have no single place to gather this information together into one profile.

Royal Wedding

Like millions of people around the UK (and billions around the world) my family and I were glued to our television set to witness the royal marriage between Prince William (second in line to the British throne) and his commoner girlfriend Kate Middleton yesterday 29th of April.

Being a special holiday (no school and no work), we woke up late (and got up even later) yesterday, but still not missing much of the momentous event. We watched the coverage of BBC One channel and switched to BBC HD halfway towards the end.

The coverage prior to the wedding proved too much for our boys. The older one protested that it was boring to watch while the younger son just proceeded silently towards the computer to watch more exciting YouTube videos of his favourite game involving an ordinary plumber turned hero.

Filipinos in Peterborough United

The growing population of Filipinos in Peterborough and its surrounding towns and villages have formed a community association, Filipino Community of Peterborough (FILCOP) last 17 January 2010, which realised the long-standing dream of uniting themselves towards a common good.

Peterborough is a dynamic and thriving multi-cultural city with a population of 167,000 (2007 estimate) located in the county of Cambridgeshire. It is famous for its beautiful cathedral, considered one of the finest in England with a history dating back over 1,350 years and the current building approaching its 900th foundation anniversary. Peterborough is also one of the four Environment Cities in the UK and is now working to become the country's Environment Capital.

Torn t-shirt

Cean took this picture of me wearing my favourite house t-shirt, a torn light blue Gap pocket tee. He used my Dell Streak's 5mp camera and with a few tweaks with the special effects feature, a dull picture is turned into a work of art (of sort).
