| Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey, Shane Mosley vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. |
| 2010-02-25 18:53:43 |
Just how the turnout of events can truly be unpredictable, the supposed biggest fight in boxing history between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. set for March 13th this year has come to an official end after the two parties agreed to all terms but one- the drug test. Now they are facing different opponents disappointing fans from both sides who were eagerly anticipating the big fight. Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey and Shane Mosley vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. on different occasions.
What was the contention in the fight that never happened?
Mayweather Jr along with his father Floyd Sr insinuate that Pacquiao is using performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) so they want to subject both Mayweather and Pacquiao to an Olympic-style drug testing before the fight. Floyd wants a random testing done by the United States Anti-Doping Agency but Manny refuses to have any blood testing within 30 days of the fight, because he believes it would weaken him. However, he agrees to have blood taken ...

| “The Christmas Song” by Charice |
| 2009-12-24 02:22:38 |
I bought “A very Special Christmas” CD album now on its 7th series and was pleasantly surprised to see Charice sharing a song: “The Christmas Song.” A Very Special Christmas (AVSC) album series is a collaboration of several artists showing their support for the Special Olympics and its programs. Every year, they come out with a Christmas album to help raise funds. According to Amazon.com, approximately $100,000,000 in royalties and investment proceeds has been generated by the sale of the AVSC albums.
Don’t know who gets to pick what they sing in the album or it’s the artist choice but Charice definitely sang a timeless classic- first heard in 1944 performed by The Nat King Cole Trio. It plays over and over the entire Holiday season that sometimes you don’t want to hear it anymore. Yet most often, we want to hear it because it is such a feel-good song! This track has been covered by over a hundred artists from Barbra Streisand, The Supremes, ...

| Best Buy Black Friday 2009, You’re Too Late! |
| 2009-11-27 00:40:10 |
As of 8:30 pm November 26th- Thanksgiving day, this was the line at a Best Buy store in Darthmouth, MA. Some said they’ve been there since noon time (gave up on Thanksgiving dinner altogether)! Calling my sisters in Sacramento, California, they said that there were people camped out in front of the Best Buy stores early on as well.
What’s interesting with Best Buy is that they only have minimum of 5 to 10 items of each product per store as advertised yet they seem to draw campers who are willing to spend the night in the cold. Based on our experience, the ad isn’t entirely true because some stores only really have one or two items of the more popular products on sale. So by the time the store opens at 5am, there would have been 300 people in line fighting for one to 2 items of those products!! Case in point, the HDTVs and the laptops.
Why people would camp out in Best Buy stores, I could never understand.
Passing through Wal-Mart in Ashland, MA there were at least ...

| 2009 CNN Hero of the Year is Filipino Efren Peñaflorida! |
| 2009-11-23 13:31:28 |
In an exciting moment captured on video, Anderson Cooper presented the 2009 CNN Hero of the Year award to Efren Peñaflorida. The very emotional Peñaflorida walked on stage waving a tiny Philippine flag resting on a small wooden pushcart- as his trademark has been for bringing “pushcart classroom” in the streets of Manila, giving education to poor young kids as an alternative to gang related activities.
“Our planet is filled with heroes, young and old, rich and poor, man, woman of different colors, shapes and sizes. We are one great tapestry,” Peñaflorida’s opening lines as he began his short speech. “Each person has a hidden hero within, you just have to look inside you and search it in your heart, and be the hero to the next one in need.
“So to each and every person inside this theater and for those who are watching at home, the hero in you is waiting to be unleashed. Serve, serve well, serve others above yourself and be happy to serve. A...

| Flutter. Stop it. |
| 2009-11-21 21:36:35 |
What is this flutter?
Why am I feeling this queasy feeling in my stomach?
I shouldn’t feel this but I am feeling,
this crazy tremulous feeling.
Heart pounding, head racing.
It is exciting.
It is confusing.
Heck, it is nerve wracking!
I know this awful feeling.
The more I suppress, the more I feel.
The more I feel, the more I suffer.
But I wouldn’t. I couldn’t let it out.
Don’t know how long I can look
Don’t know how long I can resist
Don’t know how long I can play pretend
Until you’ll notice…
Please don’t ask me,
I won’t admit it.
Please don’t confront me,
I can’t deny it.
What is this flutter?
I know this flutter!
Foolish feelings, get over it.
Flutter, stop it!
F— I did it again.

| Vote Filipino Efren Peñaflorida for CNN Hero of the Year 2009 |
| 2009-11-18 14:59:55 |
From the United States to Zimbabwe to Indonesia to the Philippines, CNN acknowledges ordinary people with extraordinary impact in its search for this year’s “Hero of the year.” Filipino Efren Peñaflorida, 28 is among the Top 10 contenders vying for the special recognition.
Efren has been making a huge difference in the lives of street kids in Manila, Philippines for the last 12 years. “Peñaflorida and his team of teen volunteers have taught basic reading and writing to children living on the streets. Their main tool: A pushcart classroom.” What he has accomplished in his young age giving back is truly remarkable if not indeed heroic.
This is sort of a last-minute plea to all readers! I just received the email from my sis in the UK and I’ve never heard of CNN’s ongoing search. To think that it started in early February! Goes to show, I am not a CNN follower.
“Since February, profiles of 2009 CNN Heroes have been airing weekly on air and...

| 2009-11-18 02:19:10 |
I have not gotten into the Twilight craze yet but the rest of my family are- and so is the rest of the world. I wasn’t particularly blown away by the first movie… maybe when I start reading the books I will get into it. My younger sis just finished reading the first three books that came from our other sis and now she’s passing them on to me.
Anyways, got an email from Cafe Press in partnership with Burger King that they are giving away some freebies to celebrate the premiere of “New Moon” this Friday November 20th. “CafePress is offering Twihards a one-of-a-kind surprise gift!” exclaims the mail.
To receive a free gift, simply visit www.newmoon.cafepress.com and enter the code CPNEWMOONGIFT2 (Got a new email code from Cafe Press.) FreeNewMoon when prompted.
I just got mine and I picked “Team Edward.” Will be giving the stickers to my nieces. Grab one as soon as you can, promo might not last very long…

| VIDEO: Floyd Mayweather won’t look past Juan Manuel Marquez, Calls Marquez: “Mexico’s Numero Uno and a solid fighter” |
| 2009-09-02 01:21:53 |
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.’s (39-0 | 25 Knockouts) very much anticipated comeback to the ring up against Juan Manuel Marquez (55-4-1 | 37 Knockouts), hits MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 19th live via HBO’s Pay-per-view.
In this video, reporter Mark Kriegel discusses Juan Manuel Marquez with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Find out why the ‘Pretty Boy’ isn’t ready to think about Manny Pacquiao.
I am very surprised to see Mayweather in this interview very subdued. He’s always been portrayed as (over)confident to being cocky. I didn’t see it on this interview and even the reporter commented that Floyd seem to be building up his opponent, Marquez. It’s nice to see a fighter not ‘talk trash’ his opponent. This psychological warfare tactic is so cliche and very movie-like anyway. What a good interview! Floyd has such respect for Marquez. Floyd is hinting very much of a possible Pacquiao-Mayweather fight if the “price” i...
