I don’t know which is creating more buzz lately, the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight or the Pacquiao-Ranillo rumored affair. But let’s just talk about the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight, shall we?
In an earlier interview, Manny Pacquiao, when asked about a possible fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. was quoted to have said that if both of them won their respective fights, then the match is a go.
We all know that Pacquiao defeated Miguel Cotto (and how!) in their match, and earlier, Juan Manuel Marquez lost to the returning Mayweather Jr.
Does this mean that this match is a go?

I’m sure that by now you know that Manny Pacquiao has won against (now former welterweight champion) Miguel Cotto by technical knock out before the end of the 12th round.
The victory has won for Pacquiao his seventh world title in as many weight division, a feat that no boxer in history has achieved before him. This proves beyond any doubt that Pacquiao is the undisputed pound-for-pound king!
Well, so much for Pacquiao, I’m sure there are lots of blow-by-blow post about his recent victory, which will do more justice since I wasn’t really able to watch the fight.
As the title of this, what happens to boxers after they are defeated by Pacquiao?

The Philippines was included in the National Geographic’s list of “25 Best New Travel Destination in the World in 2010,” and it cited the country’s ancient cultures, structures and biodiversity as main reasons to visit the Philippines.
The magazine, in its November 2009 Adventure issue, said that the Philippines has “as many islands as the Caribbean and some of the most spectacular reefs on the planet,” adding that travel organization have “finally gotten wise.”
The list is directed at “travelers who want their dollars to do more – for others, for the planet and for themselves.” The “25 brand new adventures” presented by the National Geographic were described as “all of them just right for right now.”

Yes! You can indeed say that I am one proud father, seeing my daughter’s Cinderella story in the same list as Zorlone, Justin and Jennifer.
Her story was picked as one of the winners in WOOF Writing Contest for October 23, 2009!
Angel is in the winners’ circle along with these great writers!
In my previous post, I wrote about my 11-year old daughter and her modern-day Cinderella adaptation.
She wrote it for a presentation in their school club’s meeting. Her teacher liked her story, because it has a different approach and not the usual mushy fairy tales plot.
The proud father in me liked her story too, so much that I featured her as a guest writer in my Short Stories Blog.
Not contended with that, I entered her story in the weekly WOOF writing contest where she was picked as one of the winners!
Now, I’m even more prouder of my daughter!
Congratulations Angel!

Call me a stage father, but I just have to brag about it. My daughter Angel is also I writer. I guess I’ve already said that I couple of times in my blogs.
This time she was asked to write a script for a story, and she was given a theme even! She was required to write a modern day Cinderella story, and so she did!
All by herself.
You’d think she’d go for the typical ragged lady with evil stepsisters and a fairy godmother type, right?
She didn’t! And I’m really puzzled how she was able to come out with the story. Still, you can see shades of the Cinderella story in her version… or am I just being biased?
Well, you be the judge. Read Angel’s adaptation of the Cinderella story in my Short Stories Blog where I featured her as my guest writer.

This coming Christmas, there will be a lot of changes… but all for the better. For one – my attitude about it. Last year, I wasn’t really receptive about it although we celebrated it for the sake of the kids. This year, we will celebrate it still, but I’ll make sure that I will have the Christmas spirit in me.
We’ll still have Christmas biscuits and Christmas candy, and other goodies under the Christmas Tree. I will try to add more surprises for the kids under that tree this year.

I once met a writer from a magazine during a product launch in my previous employment. Chatting with her, I said I am frustrated writer. I wished to write when I was younger.
She replied, “There’s no such thing as a frustrated writer,” and she added, “perhaps, the only frustrated writer is one who has a pen without an ink.” I remembered her words (though I don’t remember her name nor her face). Maybe that’s true… there’s no such thing as a frustrated writer.
Thanks to blogging, I found a medium to vent out that so-called frustrations.
But try as I might, there is still a difference between blogging and prints, so somehow, the ‘frustrations’ lingered… until…

Assuming the dual role of both parents since I became a single father, it is not surprising that I would lean more on the ‘masculine’ side of things and sometimes dismiss about the ‘feminine’ side, which is what most mothers’ priorities are.
Cooking food was fine, and so was doing the laundry. But it has never occurred to me that I should also be wary of my children’s appearance too. You know, personality, get-ups, fragrances and the like. Maybe I should developing a keen sense on those, after all, my children are no longer kids.
When I go to supermarkets to buy groceries, it’s mostly food and some basic hygiene essentials, like soaps, toothpaste, shampoos and alcohol. The closest thing I got to ‘vanity’ products were lotions, baby cologne, and baby powder.
