Pacquiao vs Marquez III

It's the time of the year again when majority of Pinoys will be glued to their TV sets (or PC screens) and will be cheering for the "Pambansang Kamao" Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. Crime rate will be low and there would be no traffic congestion in the streets of the Metro Manila and sometimes you wonder and wish that "Sana araw araw me laban si Pacquiao!"

I wish Pacman all the best in his boxing bout against Marquez. He trained hard for this fight and he is in prime shape. I hope he stays with the fight plan given by Coach Roach. Forget about the politics and other distractions because today is fight night!

For more boxing news, updates and insights, kindly visit Pacquiao vs Marquez Ilemi TV and Pacquiao vs Marquez Justin TV.

Goodluck Pacman! Go go go Team Pacquiao!!!

Foolish Games

So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.

-Sun Tzu's Art of War

No this is not Jewel Kilcher's song in the 90's. But the game may really be foolish or maybe not. One thing for sure I believe I'm ready for the mind games now.

Let's bring it on...

Thank you friends

Today is a “thank a friend” day for me. But since I have so many friends to thank so thank you friends will be better post title right?

Thank you friend A, for being there and sharing your balanced view of things, both in and out of work. Those talks keep me sane.

Thank you friends B (yes that’s both of you B’s), for those unplanned moments. Those kitakits makes me happy.

Thank you friend C, for telling me the naked truth that I really suck on some things (and I need to improve on it). That advice keeps my feet on the ground.

Thank you friend D, for sharing to me the good news. That gives me hope.

Thank you friend E (fghi... J), for sharing me your story. That reminds me on what really are the important things in my life.

I feel so blessed having known you guys and gals. It’s true indeed that good friends are God's gift.

Happy Birthday Raven!!!

Taipei 2011 Visit

I visited Taipei this week.


Weather was cool but on our last 2 days it started to rain. The hotel is ok, it has the basics (unlike the other Taipei Visits wherein hotels are usually hi-tech) but I am getting used to the spartan life. The good side of it is that the place is quite and peaceful.

Places and food highlights included Din Tai Fung Sogo, Royal Host, Hooters Taipei and Taiwan Beer.

On the work sked, it’s quite tight as I still have meetings on Friday past 7 in the evening. But it was a good visit, keeping in touch with old friends and meeting new ones.

Until next time Taipei :)

Happy 70th Birthday Mama!!!

Last March 3 was her birthday and we celebrated it with friends, family and other loved ones on Sunday March 6.

I know there are lots of challenges especially on the preps but I’m just so glad that Mama was so happy on that day.

Special thanks and mention to Ate Ciel who spearheaded the preps, To Raven for representing me when I was away in US, to Papa, to all my brothers and sisters, to my nephews and nieces, to my Tito and Tita and to my cousin too, to my extended family, especially to Becks and Eman, and all support staff, and lastly to all the well-wishers, Thank you!

Happy Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year!

Make sure you pay your bills and your "utang" before the new year :)

It's the year of the Metal Rabbit this year and I have not read much if this year will be lucky for me.

I'm not a huge fan of astrology and horoscopes, but I believe that you control your destiny. So just do good things to people, make this world a little better place to live in and good fortune will follow :)

Kung Hei Fat Choi!!!

Happy 5th Raven!!!

Bad boy me still went to the office even its our special day. I did not go to the office during the post-Christmas and pre-New year period so work stuff piled up for the 1st week of the year and I want to clear it out first.

We did go to a special place that evening. We dined and wined that night!!! The dinner was special one as we don’t usually go to that special steakhouse. And maybe it was made more special because of the red wine! I was uneasy at first sip (I don’t usually mix alcohol and food) but enjoyed sipping the wine at the end.


Happy 5th Raven! I love you so much!!!
