Fine dining restaurants may not offer home-made cooking but their food is, almost always, excellent. However these restaurants offer excellent food at a price most of us can’t afford. Oftentimes we lower our standard just to get by. So we head for the cheapo restaurants whose food our dogs at home even hesitate to eat.

But not all cheap restaurants dish up bland foods. Take Perky. It is a new eating station where one can have a fill of their home-style cooked food after a day’s work. As its name suggests, it will certainly perk up the whole uptown area with its exciting array of gastronomic delights cooked the way your mother does at home.

The dream is just another dream until you make it come true. And there’s nothing sweeter in one man’s world than a triumphal conquest of his dream.

That was exactly what happened last Saturday night at the jampacked Mandaue City Sports & Cultural Complex when our very own Z “The Dream” Gorres as he masterfully out-scored, outpunched and out-jabbed his Thai opponent Waengpetch Chuwatana.

But Gorres has a bigger dream. A dreamer as he is, he dreams of a bigger fight, a bigger name, and possibly a bigger prize at stake. And that seems to be not an easy road to travel as he knows it. Although he was happy to wear the belt that he has longed for in his still young career, he was somewhat disappointed he was not able to knock him (Waengpetch) out in their 12-round match which was hailed as the biggest so far in any of Gorres’ fight. The boxing fans who trooped to the complex and queued for three hours was estimated to be anywhere between 10,000 to 12,000 strong.
