Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas aka Firepower. Congrats to Manny Pacquiao on his 7th title win in 7 weight classes. It was an Historic weekend full of fans, events, and great friends.
The 1st ever Top Rank Tweetup was a success and I enjoyed capturing the moments. Which included meeting new people one of them being Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire.
Check out the coverage of the Tweetup as well as other moments of Firepower weekend here http://firepower.tumblr.com/

Another fun morning at Cars and Coffee and hanging with friends. One of them including Jon Sibal, who I haven’t seen a while along with his awesome Dodge Challenger. Being seen all over South County, it’s nice to finally see the eye-catching car in-person. More story of this cool car on Jon’s website, jonsibal.com

Just when you thought, a regular cup of coffee isn’t enough to get you going through your day (or night). Here comes a Lee’s inspired Gallardo. Thought I’d have a little fun last night and skin this photo of a Gallardo I recently took and my need for Lee’s iced coffee. Also, dedicated to another true Lee’s iced coffee fan.

They say “You never know what you’ll see…”. Referring to the early morning car meet at Cars and Coffee in Irvine, CA. A couple weeks ago that statement was never more true. As I make my way to the “show” area, I notice a group of people admiring a couple cars. I finally caught breath at a rare site. A Lamborghini Reventon in person as well as a Bugatti Veyron, next to it.

Many of my friends know me as a “foodie”, I love all kinds of food as well as attempt to make my own creations at home. I’ve been on yelp.com mainly to get reviews about restaurants and see what menu items are the most popular. I’ve just recently signed up to post my own reviews and thoughts on places I grub at. If you would like to follow on my food adventures check my profile out. philcruz26.yelp.com
