Pitbull Concert
Okay, there were three of us going to this Pitbull concert with Taio Cruz, Havana Brown and Timomatic as special guests. Absolutely didn't expect anything except good music from Pitbull. The guests? Taio Cruz's Dynamite might do it, Havana Brown? didn't really like it. Timomatic? Set it off was great but really was thinking Rihanna's concert will pass it by miles.
Got in. Our seats were at the very top with blocked view to the stage. Well.. well... might have been the worst nightmare but hey! we were wandering around seats to seats, got kicked away by actual seaters, and finally we managed to snatch ones in. Good thing is the ticket holders didn't come! Wow. Enough for the intro, Timomatic opened the concert, quite good performance by Australian singer, then DJ Havana Brown came in, gorgeous looking lady! damn me, she's a true beauty, her skin is just flawless and her dress? my heart just melted, and the DJ skill? oh man how can I bug you not to watch. Purrfecct. Probably the highlight of last night besides Mr. Worldwide.
Taio Cruz continued the night, a very nice guy. Respect. I just got to know that he's the one who wrote "Without You" for Guetta and Usher. Amazing. And Mr. Worldwide conquered the stage, and it's game over. Amazing concert, amazing people, amazing audience. Worth it all the way. One thing I learn from this experience: When you expect less, it usually turns out awesome.

The Bourne Legacy
Jason Bourne has come back to United States. But, this time, he rather hiding instead of hunting for Pam Landy. Well, if you are a fan of Bourne, this movie will take you to where it was back in 2002. Jeremy Renner did quite a good job here, his acting is unquestionable, the action? you bet!
The story was similar to the first one. Might want to re-think to get the Platinum seat for this.
Rated: 6/10

Coca Cola, Google, BBC logos, How Much It Costs?
For those who ever wonder how much one iconic logo costs, this is your chance to know it all. Well, some of you might be surprised since some of the logos cost not even a penny. Let's start by American favourite drink, Coca Cola.
Actually $0. Yes, big fat zero.
The reason is the logo was create by its founder's partner and bookkeeper.
The King of All Online Media, Google. Another $0.
Why? The co-founder designed it.
If some company did not pay a penny to create the logo, there is at least one company that's crazy enough to spend a big chunk of money to spend on a logo. Who would that be?
How much did they spend for this? $1.8 Million. Was it worth it all the money? Be the judge.

The Dream Team Wins!
Credit: SportsIllustrated
I was skeptical when I saw USA Men's Basketball team played Argentina on second quarter of the semi final. They proved me wrong, they booked a place on the final. I thought "okay, but don't I jinx it, let's win it all the way!". Of course, you are guys are familiar with the story of Brazilian football team, they were a steeping GIANT until the Final. And the result? Silver medal it is.
Thank God, the USA won the Gold medal, beating Spain 107-100.
BIG CONGRATS!

Number 8 Restaurant
I booked a table for two at this restaurant last weekend. A friend of mine used to work on this restaurant but funnily enough, she didn't vouch it for amazing dinner. However, curiosity doesn't just stop me there. Went in with low-expectation, since no steak-based restaurant could impress me for the past year. My girlfriend ordered fish of the day, I went with Grilled Tasmanian Wallaby with Victorian Truffle (yes, you read it right. Victorian Truffle, and it will cost you around $30), and a plate of calamari for sharing. 30 minutes later, this beautiful calamari arrived, the texture was just simply amazing, it just melted right into your tongue, bravo for the starter. Now, with the main, came with stunning presentation, I sliced the wallaby with the puree on it, tasted it, WOW, couldn't be better. Overall, all the starter and mains that we ordered didn't disappoint. Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner, a place worth to visit.
PS. the Victorian Truffle wasn't bad either.

I stumbled across a mini bakery shop at Clifton Hill area today, well, as usual I wasn't paying attention of the bakery or anything else, I was just there to hang out with a friend and he wanted to eat something to fill in his belly. Turned out this small thing caught my attention, it's called Bocconcini. I grabbed my phone out, googled it and found out that it's some sort of cheese. I paid for it, and ate it, wow this Bocconcini melted in my mouth, any of you guys pass by this area you should try some of the bakery, the rest of them are not too bad either.
