respect.

I love joining bandwagons so I am going to write about Manny Pacquiao versus Manuel Marquez fight. And hello I am 100% Filipino in mind, heart, spirit and everything else. Anyway, this third and final fight between Marquez and Pacquiao seemed to be the most controversial among the others. Some say it was not fair because it was obvious that Marquez had it in most rounds. I did not personally watched the fight, yes boo me, because I fell asleep. I watched the news though through the Filipino Channel and what I saw was Manny Pacquiao’s faith.

 

During the final round when it was all over, did you see Manny Pacquiao? Did you see how he did not raise his gloved hand unlike Marquez?

 

Instead, Manny knelt down and prayed.

That made all the difference.

Pacquiao may had had that feeling of

 uncertainty with regards to winning

but he let go and let God.

 

A lot of people said Marquez should have won. Experts said Pacquiao was not aggressive as before. Fans were reportedly disappointed by Manny’s performance.

 

But what I learned from the fight was not the unfairness of it all — of the judges and such — because the judges were there for a reason. They were chosen as the authorities for that specific fight because they were qualified so we can never question their decision on who they think won the fight. We can give our opinions, yes, but that does not qualify us as the authorities to make decisions for the fight.

 

Let us not make bad assumptions about Manny, his team or the judges rather let us be thankful and be happy that Manny won and once again put the Filipino flag up for us Filipinos. Let us pride ourselves with his victory instead of starting gossip and criticizing the judges for their decision or Manny because of his performance. It is what it is.

 

Not happy with the decision?

One word: Respect.

It is not easy to fight those 12-round of unstoppable rain of punches.

I can’t move on

Why I dont like Canada very much:

(this is not an anti Canada post)

I believe in the song Price Tag

Di nila gets ung kantang Price Tag. Ika nga its not about the money money money. Though love wont get you all the things you wanted in life, love will make it seem like you have. E magulo ba? Papaka profound ako. Just nod your head. Gets mo yan. Pag taga Pinas ka magaagree ka din strongly sa kantang Price Tag ni Jessie J na yan. hihi. Nawawala sense niyan pag asa Canada ka na.

Closing time

Where on Earth do malls close at 6 during weekends? Only in Canada and maybe Aussie. E pare foul yan. Dun pa lang kami magdedate ni Edward non habang susunduin niya ako sa dorm. Trapik pa sa Quiapo kaya 7 na talaga makakapagmeet niyan kasi late siya. Sabay lalast full show pa kami ng 10. O diba night life kung night life.

Don’t English me

San ka ba naman nakakita na bibili ka na lang nga ng kape eenglishin ka pa. Ano kayo sosyal. Gusto ko ng UNLIMITED TAGALOG para sa aking peace of mind. Ayoko ng umaga pa lang nanosebleed na ako. Kaya ako pumutla e naubos dugo ko sa kaka ingles first thing in the morning (oha!)

Sexy ka man, mataba pa din

NUKNUKAN sa dami ang suot pag winter. Ah akala niyo maganda no. Di purkit maganda sa pictures ang mga palawit na yan at mga balabal sa leeg e komportable yan isuot. ang bigat bigat kaya at ang kati kati habang may uncontrollable uhog ka that keeps on drooping and dropping all the way. ANO KALA MO MASAYA WINTER KASI MAY SNOW?? gusto mo niyan? gusto mo niyan? Sa dami ng suot mo kahit payat ka dahil sa kapal ng jacket mo kasing taba mo pa din ang isang obese na oso.

Maganda ka man, maanghit pa din

San ka ba naman nakakita ng pagkaganda gandang dalaga at pakapoging binata na amoy bayabas. minsan tinatanong ko din sa sarili ko, ano ba, wala ba silang tubig sa bahay? mura naman dito sa Canada ah. diba first world country tayo? e bat parang amoy imburnal kayo? sabi nila sa kinakain daw nila un. hanap na kayo ng bago pagkain, libre ko kayo.

Small talks

Everywhere you go people expect you to say hi and ask the question dundundundun.. “how are you?” nako, give me a break sa 2 years stay ko dito sa Canada walang patid ko na atang natanong yan how are you na yan. Ask it kahit you dont mean it. minsan gusto ko na lang sabihin, Wala ka naman talaga care kung maka how are you ka diyan te ah. CLOSE TAYO? CLOSE TAYO??? sige nga kelan birthday ko? How are you mo ko uli pag alam mo na.

Over sensitivity

kailangan lahat isaalang alang mo ang feelings. iba iba kasi tao dito sa Canada. may puti, may itim, may brown, may yellow (yes asian represent). hindi ka pwedeng magbanggit ng makakaoffend sa relihiyon nila, sa kinakain nila, sa practices nila at sa lahat lahat ng tungkol sa kanila.

Holiday ba kamo? Meron ba?

anong birthday? anong pasko? anong new year? walang holiday, holiday dito sa Canada. typical to:

“asan ka nung birthday mo?” “ayun nagwork.”

“san ka sa pasko?” “sa work! double pay e!”

AHAHAHAHAHA MUKANG PERA!!! holiday pang tamad daw un sabi nila. Motto ng first world country: rest is for the weak.

kaya the best talaga sa Pilipinas, mapa pasko man o everyday chill. WALA AKONG PAKIELAM SA MGA HATER na magsasabi sakin na mas mainam dito sa Canada, edi kayo pumunta dito basta ako pang Pinas ako <3

and with that I shall leave you with this super Pinoy video:

 ONLY IN DA PHILIPPINES

lalo na si Xian Lim sa vid na yan hihi

FILIPINOS, FOR THE WIN :>

pumayat ka man, mataba pa din

“Pumayat ka man, mataba pa din”

Nung una ko tong mabasa as a joke, di ko agad naintindihan. Sa totoo lang madalas akong slow. After 2 minutes and 10 seconds, BAM, ayun, nagets ko din siya. Sabay natawa ako ng bongga. HAY JUSKO ERICKA, bakit ka ba ganyan? Matalino ka naman dati ah. Pero in fair, jinoke ko pa to sa nanay ko at sinabi ko pang bagay ito sa kanya.

Anyway, alam ko naman sa lahat ng makakabasa nito ay nasabihan na AT LEAST once in their lives ng “uy tumataba ka ah” “taba mo ngayon” “taba mo na!” at ang pinakamasakit sa lahat yung tipong tatanungin ka pa,

“bakit ang taba mo ngayon?”

E PAKI MO BA. Doctor ba kita or dietician at kailangan ko magexplain sayo???

Itong mga kataga na atang ito ang marahil pinakamasakit na salitang narinig ko sa aking existence. Lalo na nung ako ay nangibang bansa, namuhay kasama ang aking mga magulang na walang tigil kung bumili ng lahat ng klase ng tsokolate, chichirya at kung ano ano pang alam nilang pampataba at mala-langis na pwede naming laklakin at lamunin ng aking kapatid. Bata pa lang ay sugapa na ako sa paglamon, pero siyempre non di naman ako tumataba kahit anong gawin ko. DATI YUN. Lumalaki pa ako non, sa LENGTH ngayon sa WIDTH na ang usapan. Ang pinakaunang tumataba sakin ay ang mukha. Sabay yun din ang pinakamatagal pumayat. BADTRIP KA MUKA KA, ANG LAKI MO. Sa katabaan ng nanay ko, di ko magets kung bakit magkasinlaki kami ng muka e ang laki naman ng weight gap namin. Hindi ko rin alam sa muka ko kung bakit ang healthy healthy niya. Baka kasi squared face ako. OO, yun ang pampalubag loob ko, pangahan kasi ako kaya natural lang na malaki ang rehistro ng mukha ko sa mga pictures.

Isa ko pang issue, bakit ba kasi bili ng bili ang nanay at tatay ko ng pagkain?

NANADYA BA SILA?  ANO BA GUSTO NILA? MAGING OBESE KAMI NG KAPATID KO?

Tapos sasabihan ka pa na “edi pigilan mo, wag mo kainin” pano mo namang pipigilan un kung nakasamborga sa face mo yung pagkain diba? diba? diba? Sa totoo lang kahit sa itsura kong to:

at nasasabihan ako, na sexy ako, madami na akong mga pantalon na di na magkasya nung panahong asa kolehiyo pa ako. Wish ko lang naman magkasya na uli sila ng sumaya na ako sa buhay ko at masuot ko na uli sila. Kaya lang naman ako hindi bumibili ng madaming pants na bago kasi umaasa pa akong papayat ako at magkakasya uli sakin ang size zero ko na pants. Di ko na sasabihan pa kung ano ung size ko ngayon. NEKNEK NIYO. DI AKO PAPAUTO. PADLOCK SUSI TAGO SA PWET.

Marahil ito na ang wake up call ni Lord sakin, na di na ako bata, na dapat na akong maging conscious sa mga paglamon lamon ko tuwing stressed, gabi na at pagod ako. Siguro gusto lang niyang sabihin sakin na mag ayos ayos na ako sa aking life at huwag pagkain ang pagbuntungan ng galit at energy. Well, Lord, message received. Pero sana 10 lbs lighter pa, para kumasya na uli ung size zero. PLEEEEEEASE :>> LOVE YOUUU!

Ang pagpost ng picture sa itaas ay nagsisilbing reinforcement na, I STILL GOT IT! YEAHMAN! BWAHAHAAHAHAHAHA pero parang mas bagay sakin ung tumaba ka man, payat pa din. OO, yun iisipin ko kasi nga THINK POSITIVE E. WALANG AAYAW.

I fetish you cutie

Someday when I am ready and I have lots of money in my palm, pocket, bank and pwet I wanted to have a baby. I never fetish about babies. My only fetishes are the ones that are as shallow as the kiddie pool. Not to mention they are very short termed. This is one of the reasons why I do not post things such as a collection or an obsession. I write about things I like because I wanted to remember that once in my life I had liked such things and to remind me as well that I had been jologs, corny and emo at one point in time.

NEEEED I SAY MOOOOOORE, B?
