Strong Saturdays Alpha Male of the Week: Fedor Emelianenko

BEHOLD! The greatest mixed martial artist of all time. Well as far as Wikipedia will say but come on. This man holds the current WAMMA heavy weight title and boasts an incredible record of 32-2. Well due to a messy mixed up elimination in a tournament he has two losses but for posterity's sake we can safely say he has only one real loss.


The man is a 6 foot 229 pound monster. He collectively has 12 gold and 4 bronze medals in wrestling sports ranging from judo to combat sambo (mostly in combat sambo). They say before a match he flashes back to a winter when he was so poor that he had to share a jacket with his brother and he pictures his opponent trying to bring him back to that horrible memory. Its insane, yes, but apparently it works. What am I doing? enough words. Time for moving pictures to prove my point.

Porma Fridays: Investments for Men

A friend of ours asked if we would be kind enough to try and sell his belt online, at first I wondered, why would anyone want to buy a belt!? Then I realized that with all the fashion accessories out there, there really isn't much for men to invest into. You can't really imagine a guy wearing diamond earrings, necklaces and bracelets right? So what can men really buy? What can we boast about especially with what we are wearing?

The answer? Belts and Shoes.

Truth is, most tops look the same though color schemes may be different, at the end of the day they're just mostly stripes, checkered or plain. However, what stands out more with what men wear are the shoes that are obviously very different for every occasion, and the belt with that buckle that just stuns them all.

Here are some pictures if your interested.

Louis Vuitton Initiales Damier Graphite Belt

Length: 38in /95cm

Original Price: Php 24,200.00

Asking Price: Php 22,000.00

Guys if your still wondering, it's the real deal. It's just lame to sell a knock-out like that online and placing so much effort. Our friend is selling it much cheaper and it's never been used, the blue sticker is even attached to protect the buckle! If you have money to spare i suggest you get it, its cheaper than diamonds yet it gives the same prestige.

If anyone is interested just leave your contact details and we'll forward it to the seller. :)

Titillating Thursdays: Despicable Me

"Just because he is a bad guy, doesn't mean he is a bad guy."

Coming soon to IMAX is the movie Despicable Me. In case you haven't seen the trailers, Despicable Me is about Gru, a Super Villain who is planning to steal the Moon when three orphans arrived at his doorstep looking for a dad. Now, Gru needs to balance being a dad and being THE bad guy.

The trailers of this movie are impressive. Nothing bad can be said about the voice acting of Steve Carell. The writers also did a good job with the story and the jokes which are both dark and cute.

Also, the plot is genius. It is interesting and exciting to see the villain's side of the story.

Tsibog Tuesdays: Xocolat High

I know what you're thinking. Why the hell are they writing about a place that sells cakes and stuff? Isn't that a bit gay? Well, no, my friend. If you did your homework, you would know that 84% of their customers are female. Yes. FEMALE.

The little place that looks like a 70s house near Dormitoryana and Bo's in Katipunan is Xocolat. It serves great food, and would actually get you more relaxed and energized after hanging out there, because of there nice couch, old wooden chairs, the sound of the rustling of the leaves, and the homey atmosphere

Xocolat is actually the place to be, if you like want to take someone out, talk, relax, and enjoy each other's company. Or you can go there just to do girl watching, while eating cake, which the Manster staff rarely do. Rarely.

Anyway, onto the cakes. Well, one thing is that, all their cakes are like heaven. Soft, moist, and chewy. And yes, chocolatey. I won't recommend anything, cause everything's delightful already.Also, try their hot choco drinks. I've heard they're really delicious.

The only thing that might bother you is that their service is a little bit slow. Parang nasa bahay lang talaga sila. But it might work to your advantage whenever you're on a date, since you get to be with her(or him, whatever.) longer right?

Xocolat isnt just in Katipunan. They also have several branches around the metro, so you wouldnt have to go through the Katipunan traffic just to eat some of those chocolate cakes.

Heres a list of their branches.

- Lobby, Promenade Greenhills Shopping Center

- 2nd Level Bldg A, SM Megamall

- Center Courtyard, Eastwood City Walk 2

- 172 B-Gonzales St. Loyola Heights

P.S. This isnt a paid advertisement, but we really hope it was. Haha. And the stat above was made up, but really, most of their customers are women.

Macho Mondays: Lucia Fischer

Hark! A familiar face perhaps? Lucy is the type of girl who gets around in the non figurative non sexual way so her face being a familiar one wouldn't come as a surprise. This half filipina half german erm.... featurette is currently a 3rd year AB Comm student who also sidelines as a model, radio dj and whatever the hell else she wants. Oh, I'm sorry. Of course. More pics.

This has been Macho Mondays, much love form the big scary MANster staff.
