Almost...

I dreamed this morning that Juan Manuel Marquez won... Don't get me wrong but I wasn't that obsessed with the boxing match, mind you.  It's just that, I blogged about them right before I hit the bed at 5 o'clock in the morning.  That explains..

Anyways, in my dream, he accordingly stepped down from the ring.. on a stretcher, lying down.  He didn't look terribly injured but just bad enough to declare his opponent, Juan Manuel Marquez, the winner by the time they reached the 10th round.

As of this writing, I still haven't seen the replay, thanks to my non-functional tv.  Maybe I'll just check it online later.  But according to my mother (good for her, she saw the fight on tv), Marquez could have won had it not for the majority decision of the judges in favor of Pacman.

Now, why am I making a fuss about this whole thing?  It is because I dreamed about it.  Silly as it may sound, but I do believe that my dreams would come true.  And this one, okay this one, sort of deviated and gone out of way.  But it almost happened, don't you think?

Zero Crime Rate

Few hours from now, Manny Pacquiao will once again dominate the tv screens for his boxing fight, this time, with Manuel Marquez.  Sad for me, my 11-year old, 14-inch tv is no longer working (that, I hope to blog about sometime in the future).  I could have the option of going to the office and watch it at the casino.  Or just perhaps monitor the fight online.  But then, I am not a sports buff that I would want myself to be.  I just watch it, out of curiousity's sake.

I remember, while I was still assigned at Tagaytay, I went malling one Sunday morning.  I noticed the mall wasn't usually packed with people.  Then I realized, when I heard over the radio played at one of the boutiques, that Manny Pacquiao was on the ring at that moment.

Since I've been planning to buy some christmas presents at 168 shopping mall, today would have been the perfect time.  There would be less shoppers bumping each other at the narrow aisles of the mall.  There would be no traffic on the road.  And the best of it all, pickpocketers would be off-duty from practicing their profession.

The problem now, however, is that I just had my face treated at Slimmer's World.  The doctor says that I can't wash the treated area for at least 24 hours.  Hence, needless to say that I must stay away from dust and dirt.  To sum it all, I would just stay home all day.  :(

Is It Over?

Few minutes before I started writing this, I heard shouts of jubilation from a group of people nearby.  At first, I thought they were watching a basketball game about a 50meters away from my place.  But then, on the second thought... is it over?

I feel for Mommy Dionisia.  She must have prayed so hard for her son's safety.  Manny Pacquiao is a tough fighter but one could not underestimate what Sugar Shane Mosley can do to the career of the Pambansang Kamao.

I just wish them all well..

Pacquiao, Please Get Ready For Mayweather

As expected, Mayweather maintained his title and won the fight.  No doubt, he is still undefeated.

When asked over an after-fight interview if Manny Pacquiao wants to fight him, Mayweather confidently said that he "is easy to find".  But then he wants Pacquiao to take urine and blood tests.  Is he implying that Pacquiao is taking performance-enhancing drugs?  Hmmm...  Something is fishy here...

I guess Pacquiao should just concede to Mayweather's condition and face the challenge. I'm sure everyone will be looking forward to it. :)

Mayweather and Mosley Fight Update From My Point of View

I'm currently watching the fight of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Shane Mosley from my non-cable TV at GMA-7 channel.  I may not know it but maybe as of this writing,  the winner may have already been declared...  Nevertheless..

Although it was a delayed telecast, and aside from the fact that my monitor was hazy (that's what I got for not getting a cable subscription), I still persevere for the main reason that I am visibly impressed with the unbelievable speed and strength of Mayweather.  I wonder if Mosley will survive this fight.  More than that, I wonder if Manny Pacquiao will be able to match, if not beat, Mayweather's boxing capability.

I'll stop for now.  I'll be posting another update later. :)
