One Fighting Championship, Asia’s largest mixed martial arts organization with a 90% market share, has capped off the year with a series of high-profile signings, highlighted by the acquisition of undefeated Welterweight kingpin Ben Askren. He joins a list of top mixed martial artists like Dae Hwan Kim, Chris Lokteff, Harris Sarmiento and Aung La Nsang, to recently agree to exclusive contracts.

Ben Askren is a legend in collegiate wrestling with four All-American awards. He finished his wrestling career at the University of Missouri with a record of 153-8. 91 of those victories came by way of pins, which are third most in NCAA Division I history. He also wrestled in the US Olympics team in 2008 before transitioning to mixed martial arts. Since his debut in 2009, he has won twelve bouts in a row in dominating fashion, winning multiple championships and earning a spot as one of the best Welterweights in the world.

A veteran of the MMA scene in South Korea, Dae Hwan Kim will compete on Asia's largest stage for the first time. The 26 year-old is still undefeated in his mixed martial arts career with eight wins on his record. Kim has fluid boxing and an aggressive fighting style that has served him well. Kim is looking to make waves in ONE FC and with the Bantamweight division arguably the most loaded with talent; it will be interesting to see how Kim compares to fellow contenders Kevin Belingon, Soo Chul Kim and Maskatsu Ueda. He made a successful ONE FC debut, submitting Australian submission grappler Thanh Vu in an exciting contest that displayed Kim’s exciting fighting style.

100 Life Lessons for Success: Book Review While on Staycation

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Michael "Myke" Celis is an advertising executive cum blogger turned book author with the release of his book entitled 100 Life Lessons for Success. The content of the book were from his regular Facebook shout-outs and apparently some people found it amusing and worthy enough to be reproduced in book format.

My first impression is that it will be just another thought of the day or a shorter version of "Soup for the Soul" as the contents may just be some rewording of ordinary and common thoughts rephrased and restructured to look spanking brand new.

But who gives a damn about original or copy-pasted thoughts as long as it helps inspire people and we get to share our thoughts regardless if its dirty or wholesome.

It is an extreme honor to be able to publish a book, and quite a tedious task to get others to buy and read it especially if you are no famous celebrity who has an already established name (or a ghost writer that's really good).

Braven 440 HD Wireless Speakers : Hardware Review While Watching "The Tomorrow People"

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Tomorrow People works on the premise that there's a possibility for some humans to evolve into a generation with special powers. Those powers they call the three Ts - teleportation, telekinesis and telepathy. But as the TV series reveals, some may even have the power to do a fourth T - time travel.

With the advancement of technology where we can send voice and data over the Internet, and where social media has kept us connected with our loved ones, and now there's technology where music or sound can be sent via wireless, I guess powers like that can be reproduced using technology.

If ever we get to the point of manifesting superhuman abilities, it will surely be a blast!

Speaking of blasts, what makes it more interesting to watch great sci-fi TV series is the presence of multimedia speakers that allow us to experience realism in our video watching. The sounds coming from blasts like explosions and sudden car stops and crashes are better appreciated if they could be clearly heard and identified.

I got my hands on the Braven 440 HD Wireless speakers to use while watching The Tomorrow People and it was a great experience to be able to hear crisp and clear sounds from the show.
