Pacman loses

Philippine pride Manny Pacquiao lost the match today/tonight to American boxer Timothy Bradley by split decision. Filipinos and other Pacman fans say that the scores were unfair and that the Sting Malunggay endorser should have won, well, I think that Bradley performed well and had some of the rounds but Manny still should've won that fight.

Why?

Bradley only shown enthusiasm during the last 3 or 4 rounds of the fight but clearly, Pacquiao did better earlier. His punches are way better than those of Bradley's and he clearly blocked efficiently. Yes, he was cornered and as I saw, the People's champ was slower (age?) but his punches are still powerful. Also, as seen in the replays, Bradley's head turned from side to side with each punch that Pacquiao landed on his face. He was getting dizzy as the fight progressed so I guess, he decided not to attack and let Pacquiao do the offense. He was just blocking and throwing jabs here and there...there were a lot of running and hugging too.

I think that Manny won the fight, he deserved that. But the Saranggani Congressman did not won the scorecards. His punches were defenseless once the judges had their decision-- 2-1 in favor of Bradley. The reason for this, is maybe because Pacquiao was too cool and affirmative that he owned the fight letting Bradley's jabs and punches score.

Hindi nanggigil si Manny. 

I am positive for a rematch so I rest my case.

Showers

I believe that everyone has the right to savor showers.Not that 5-minute ones that people took because they are late for an appointment but those that lasts for 20-30 minutes with lots of humming (sometimes singing, or should I say 'making a racket') making the mirrors moist. Personally, that's the time where I decide things and think thoroughly about what's bugging me for the day. Deciding what to wear on a date, what to eat for dinner, whether to ride a bus or the train for school, why did I lose so much money last night and sometimes WHY ON EARTH AM I STUCK IN THIS LOOP HOLE OF A LIFE are some of the things that pops up in my mind under that hot (sometimes cold) water splashing my body and my face... After that loooong shower, I emerge from the bathroom feeling like a new girl, refreshed, willing to start all over again. Plus, that darn thing had been thought about, at last!

Sabi nga nila, kung may problema ka at hindi mo nadaan sa tulog, i-ligo mo na lang. 

Besides, showers are a way to relax the muscles of the body and to clean those areas that may not be seen, if you know what I mean.


Happy showers, everyone!

Seriously

Since the very first time that I learned and loved to blog, I have been signing up to different blog sites just jammed away in the keyboard about how pissed I am or how kilig I was and many random things that I know people will not give a shit ever. When I back read all my previous posts, I cringed. It was like I was trying hard to impress my supposed-to-be readers with my awesome (or not?) wit and sense of humor. And like any other trying hard person, I failed. I didn't even impressed my self! So I decided to cut all the crap and start doing things my way-- but not that "silly highschool girl gushing about her love life" kind of way (though I will post about it, from time to time. Tee-hee!).

People say that I have talent and it's time to put that talent to good use. It's time to take things in perspective... a writer's perspective, oh wait, not just a writer but a journalist. It's time to take all my journalistic training out of the box and into the minds of other people.

It's time to get serious.
