Play Ball!

Monday, March 28th, 2011

I was reading a pronexin review when I heard loud knocks at the door. I thought it was the kids from next door again, but much to my surprise, it wasn’t. it was my hubby’s best friend, Jimmy. He dropped by to deliver gifts for my son. And I was surprised to see what it was: a baseball and a glove plus a Play Station DVD.

He is a baseball coach for the little league here in the city and he was vocal about teaching my son how to play the game this summer. I am so excited about it; more so my husband because he is a huge baseball fan. We all can’t wait for Yogi to start.

Pacquiao vs. Clottey on Pay Per View

Monday, March 15th, 2010

The whole family was here at home yesterday to watch the bout of Pacquiao vs. Clottey on pay per view. How I wish we have seen it live in Texas. LOL. But since it’s really far from possible, I just took shots of the match on TV and you can see them below. Nevertheless, watching it on TV is still very exciting though a little disappointing because Pacquiao didn’t knock off Clottey. Hee hee.

That’s Manny with his team marching down towards the ring.

That’s the Filipino artist and Journey’s lead vocals, Arnel Pineda (in brown jacket) singing the Philippines’ National Anthem.

And these women’s voices really surprised me, huh! Thought they’re only good in dancing and cheering but they really did well in singing “Star-Spangled Banner”. Way to go girls!

The “Pac” is Back!

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

I finally got to see Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao’s fight on pay per view for the first time. Before, I had to wait until the delayed broadcast on television and since I am not really a boxing fan it was only important that I get to see our fellow Filipino, Manny, and now that we have pay per view, I’m good to go. He is a resident of our city and we are proud to hear our city being mentioned during his fights. He is the first ever boxer in WBO to hold seven world titles and winning the bout today makes it eight, I think. The country is now celebrating his victory, though it wasn’t a KO like everybody would have liked to see; still it was fun watching it live!

For sure, promotional products will abound once again after the victory of our country’s hero, Pacman. It’s always like that before and after his fights. And more often than not, the supply is not enough for the demand. That goes to show that Manny Pacquiao is idolized by many, and everyone who can’t get a glimpse of him in person just has to satisfy themselves with souvenirs or promotional products.

Congratulations, Manny for bringing home the bacon again!
