this was a semi boring day.. last night, i slept at 2 in the morning and i woke up having discovered that my eyes a lil red and i have dark shadows under my eyes.. talk about stress. T_T
i woke up at seven.. i closed my eyes and hoped that i would sleep for eternity. but i cannot and would not. i was no longer sleepy, but alive. and i have to go to sports center for a swimming competition. i ate breakfast alone because my parents are still asleep and so are my sis. after that i took a bath and spent 15 minutes looking for my god-forsaken toothbrush, which i found inside my swim bag. i bid my parents good bye and set-off into sports center hitherto.
i was riding the country's easiest form of public transportation, the jeepney. (i'l make a post about that, lol)
i continued my boring journey in total silence. i sat beside a middle-aged man and a very old man. it was uneventful, if it hadnt for the middle-aged man calling me names.
at first, i thought he was not calling me. i thought so because my name couldnt possibly be "totoy". and so i ignored him. but then his voice becomes louder and i saw him facing me. he was clearly trying to communicate with me.
again, i ignored him
i was furious and enraged of being called "totoy", not to mention being called by someone who is completely unknown to me. i resisted the urge to punch him across the face. he was accompanied with his two friends and i thought that it would worth the risk.
throwing one punch and receiving 3 punches clearly isnt worth it. so i had to endure another 10 agonizing minutes of jeers and catcalls. then my stop came and i went overboard. thank god.
so i watched the swim meet and met my old friends from different places. i was happy to see them though. it was clearly boring due to the fact that it wasnt my club who hosted the competition.
after having my lunch at tapsi time with my team mates, i went to sm, hoping i would meet my friends.
i did though, but not after 1 boring hour alone.
they were not really friends. only fans. you see, i am rather good at tekken and my "fans" are just awed about my skills. its sometimes annoying though, being called a tekken god. (im making another post bwt this)
i only spent 15 pesos worth of tokens, although i played a lot. my fans simply wont say no and offered offer me their tokens for more entertainment. and i simply obliged.
after a few hours i returned home and made this post. this will be a special day for me. in a few moments, she will be back. :D
OH HAPPY DAY! :))

the world watches manny pacquiao
THE WORLD WATCHES MANNY "PACMAN" PACQUIAO
whenever manny pacquiao gets in the ring, the whole world watches. crime rates drop dramatically. everyone shuts up. they watch him. they anticipate his moves.
when manny pacquiao has a fight.. everyone, and i mean EVERYONE, yearns to see his fight. they would do anything to see it. to them, it is a very great privilege and honor to see him.. everyone, rich or poor, strong or weak, white or black, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages, Asian or European or American... from the farthest and most remote outskirts of Afghanistan, to the cold, vast region of Russia. all are equal.
heck, even Hollywood superstars came to watch manny just like the rest of the hobos who flew a thousand miles just to watch him. famous Hollywood celebrities troops to the MGM grand arena in las Vegas. some of them were jack nicholson, denzel washington, mariah carey, mark wahlberg, jay z, p diddy and stephen baldwin. denzel Washington and stephen badlwin dropped by to congratulate manny pacquiao for his spectacular performance. WWE superstar batista, who marched with pacquiao duing his grand entrance, congratulated manny. he was one of the many who felt it was an honor and privilege just to be able to breathe near him. hahaha.
many considered him as the BEST pound-for-pound boxer in the world, the king of the ring, manny pacquiao was hinted to become the world's greatest boxer ever; even eclipsing those great hall of famers like Muhamad ali and sugar shane mosley.
although manny pacquiao, a champion by heart in 6 different weight categories, remains as humble and as down to earth as ever. he never forgot his humble beginnings. when he was young, he often slept in cardboard boxes fashioned in a corner. and thus, made him strive for the best.
manny pacman pacquiao; LOVED by many, broken by few..

PACMAN vs HITMAN
so it begins..
the most awaited boxing match, finally came. of course, it started with the traditional weigh-in. though, you may notice that they use manual scales, not electric or digital ones. i still dont know why they use that.. (the mystery of the manual scales continue)
the crowd was AMAZING.. truly amazing. when the brits come over, expect some fun! hahaha. when i witnessed the crowd during the weigh-in, it was like a soccer match. the crowds were chanting; there is only one ricky hatton, God save the queen, etc. it was truly a sight to behold! having a crowd like that is truly awesome! hahaha. so, after the traditional weigh-in, they went back to their hotels and had a good night's sleep.
fight day..
ricky hatton was the first to be announced. most of the crowd went wild when his name was called (no surprises there, more than half of the crowd were brits.) he came into the ring with the most peculiar bottoms i had seen in a boxer. (his trunks has laces in 'em) lol, hahaha. then comes manny pacquiao, accompanied by his team, TEAM PACQUIAO. with WWE superstar, batista. (batista's real name is dave bautista. he is a filipino. hahaha)manny pacman pacquiao, the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world today.. the top pick of most people..
but we couldnt share our sympathy with the brits though.
as manny pacquiao's name was called, there was a rising uproar in the stands; not by the fans though. the brits stopped their chanting and began booing manny.
who could blame them, though? t
they're just fans though.. although the british fans were partying, laughing, cheering, shouting and drinking to their heart's content for their champ hatton, they were never unruly though. they still had some sense left in them.
and so the fight begins..
round one. the moment the bell rang, ricky hatton was all over manny pacquiao. he was true to his word; he would keep coming forward. there were many times when manny went to the ropes. it was a sticky situation but his agility made him escape a brutal beating. ricky hatton was a perfect target though, all offense and barely and defense, manny punched hard and..
BAM.
right to the kisser. hatton was down with less than a minute left in the round. though if you watched in slo-mo, it wasnt really a big knockout. they punched at the same time but manny was too quick. his perfectly aimed right hook made contact with his chin. though it was a hard blow, i doubt hatton would fall.
but alas, he fell. why though?
they punched at the same time but manny hit hatton first. so the centrifical force as he swung his left hook was too much that his body went into motion and.. tripped.
while he was down, he sorta thought these words..
hatton: woah.. is it round ten already?!
at the same time, manny was also thinking the same lines..
manny: woah, is it round ten already?
both fighters were shocked of what just happened.
so hatton was back on his feet and ready for some more. he was being more aggressive. i saw manny stagger not once, not twice, but three times. yes, HE STAGGERED. when hatton connects, manny loses his balance but quickly regains.. if hatton connects two punches though..
manny would be in big trouble.
so with barely 10 seconds left in the 1st round, manny, hands flailing madly, managed to topple hatton and scored another knockout.
WHAM.
another knockout.. 2 knockouts in round 1? its too good to be true. though, the 2nd knockout wasnt a real knockout. just like the first, he simply tripped. again, in slo-mo. manny was goin crazy against hatton and hatton was wise enough to back up.. but he was not fast at backing up. he leaned a little more than he inteded to just to avoid manny's punch.. and what happened next?
he simply lost his balance and tripped. again..
although the overjoyed pacman fans were enjoying every bit of it, both fighters knew that hatton merely lost his balance. though it was a knockout nevertheless.
round 2..
as the bell rang, hatton was in manny's face. he was incredible. he was just as tough as he was in the 1st round. if not, tougher. it didnt look as though he had experienced two knockouts in one round. so he was driving manny up the wall. he managed to pin manny though. and whenever he did so, he was brawling him.
manny barely escaped hatton..
and so, manny realized that the situation became grave and he needed to land another knockout. but he must be patient though. he must plan his punch at the right time. trying not to get close to hatton. manny was having trouble with hatton. yes, he did..
and in the heat of the battle, he launched his right jab but hatton was ready for it. having being knocked out by manny using his right, hatton was cautiously watching out for another one. and manny realized his mistake just in time. he faked his right just at the very last minute and went for the left hook.. his strong left hook. manny saw hatton leave his right side open, hatton having "anticipated manny's right hooks and simply defended his left.
KAAPOOOW.
he landed his perfectly sweeeeet left hook between his neck and head. putting the lights out of hatton. for good. manny knocked hatton out cold. his punch landed perfectly that hatton failed to get up.
lights out hatton. good night.

over the weekend..
ahh.. the most awaited and most anticipated boxing match after pacman vs the golden boy..
the pacman vs. the hitman. a battle between two men. the "noble" sport, others might say. the battle between east and west. a historic battle between the fighting pride of the philippines vs the fighting pride of manchester.
though as some of you readers know, i wasnt able to catch the spectacular fight. i was spending that day with my lola and the cable broke (though it was fixed in the middle of the afternoon) well, we cracked and decided that we would entertain ourselves in the threshold of SM. we took our lunch and made our trip back to the house. still, no cable. i tried everything my 15 year-old brain knew and to no avail, i failed... so i spent the whole day having an afternoon tea with granny.
really frustrating huh? i got really pissed and swore on my whole life that i would get that cable fixed. and who knew? i had it in the end. just a loose wire. A LOOSE WIRE.
it was stupid.. piontless. irritating beyond belief.
though i got it fixed in the end, there were no more replays as far as i know. (i really know a lot, though) so i hoped that by any chance, i could catch a last minute replay of the fight.
and so i did..
it was late though.. i tried now and then to scan any channel that might broadcast a replay of the fight. and not until 9pm did i catch a very frustrating replay.
i had had the utmost misfortune to watch that replay..
it was certainly a bit better than nothing though. although the entire show lasted roughly about 20 mins. it ended in 11pm. with endless advertisements played on end, it was really pissing me off, having to resort to that way of watching the fight. aarrgghh.
and so begins.. the PACMAN vs the HITMAN*
*next post, hahaha :p
