It's Time to Catch Up .. on my blogging .. :)
Hello my fellow readers and thank you for reading my blog. The reason I have not blogged for a couple months is because I simply could not find the time. Call it what you want .. procrastinating. Something to justify my excuse is .. I heard on the radio a couple months ago that ninety-five percent of all blogs are inactive. That number isn't surprising to me cuz it's simply difficult to fit in our daily schedule .. sleep .. work .. eat .. do chores .. enjoy the weekends doing our hobbies.. repeat the cycle. It's a vicious cycle unless of course you're self employed. As you know time is something you cannot get back if wasted which is why time management would be good to learn. They also mentioned on the radio that blogs can be a sentence, a paragraph or as long as newspaper article .. heck write a book if you want. If it's only one sentence though I would consider that more like tweeting. For those who haven't heard of it .. tweetin' is the term for when you are using twitter. But if you agree that blogs can be one sentence maybe we should try to fit blogging in our daily routine .. :)

Thirteen .. Lucky or Unlucky?
Another interesting article which I found today was about the group who had won the $50M windfall in Canada. They were thirteen women working on the thirteenth floor of the building. I always thought the floors on the buildings jump from twelve to fourteen. Obviously there a some that do have a thirteenth floor. Would you be uneasy about working on that floor or living on the thirteenth floor of an apartment?
I guess that would depend if you are superstitious or believe in numerology. As for me, I used to let Friday the 13th dates bother me. Whenever I did worry about it that's when the day would start going wrong for me. If I treated the day as just another day it did turn out to be a regular or great day.
The women who won the windfall were all in the payroll department. Poor employees working for this company .. their pay might be delayed unless the company quickly finds replacements such as temporary workers assuming all the women quit.
Are you superstitious with the #13? Are you superstitious at all? In religion(s) you're not supposed to believe in superstition. Do you quickly read the horoscope when reading the paper during coffee break?
The question is are you going to control or be controlled??

To Spend or not to Spend ..
To Spend or not to Spend .. That is the question!! As I read the headlines on my homepage (Yahoo!) I read an interesting article about a man/couple who had applied for a $10,000 overdraft. My gosh who would need an overdraft in that amount?? Unless you write a lot of cheques in the thousands. Obviously they were approved by the bank it was approved with a few too many zeros.
If I were to do a poll about this I'm guessing fifty percent of the people would be honest and would tell the bank. The other half of course would be out of control by greed, get all excited and flee the country as the couple did.
If the money was in your bank account and knowing that it doesn't really belong to you, how do you think you would handle the situation?? Would you spend it? After all, it is your bank account.
The laws are different in various countries and I would love to hear from anyone in the legal field or anyone's thoughts in general.

Pacquiao vs Hatton Match
On the evening of May 2nd '09 we were all glued to our tubes. Ok maybe not all but many. I really thought this match would have gone the distance .. maybe up to 10 rounds. Surprisingly it was a rather short fight but quite a thriller. I was hoping it would be as exciting as the Thrilla in Manila but it was nowhere close.
Some flashbacks every time I think of the fight are .. the British with their loud horns. Our famous singer Martin Rivera sang our anthem. Tom Jones and Jasmin singing the other anthems.
I will never forget when Dela Hoya was showing himself with the Hatton mask .. hahaha .. I'll bet you he quickly left the MGM after Hatton was seeing stars on the floor. When the introductions were being done Hatton was psyching himself up as any other boxer would. From the way he was doing it though i was thinking one thing. This guy is definitely overconfident! Hatton was punching himself in the face. Hahaha! I was hoping for a long bout but after seeing Hatton and how he was sticking to Pacman like white on rice in the first round .. I thought .. finish him off early Manny!! Then Pacquio gave me my wish. Hatton .. was down and out and seeing stars! Confidence is important in any endevour but overconfidence will kill ya!
I was surprised to hear when people were saying Manny is the Greatest of all. This surprised me cuz Manny is still at an early stage in his career. I know Ali is the Greatest of all time so they were most likely referring to the active fighters.
Bring on Floyd!! This guy is really risking it if he comes out of retirement and loses. From what I hear he has a perfect record. That record just might be shattered. I would rather retire with no losses if I were in his shoes.
Before Pacman became famous people probably didn't know where our country was on the globe. Now people will probably visit our beautiful white sand beaches in our homeland .. the Philippines!
Manny Pacquiao is one of many role models who proved that you can accomplish anything .. if you set your mind to it!

From Start to Finish
Well, I have just finished watching the All Star Game. I must say it was entertaining from start to finish. You can feel the electricity in Phoenix AZ with the presence the Great Muhomed Ali, Terell Owens of the Dallas Cowboys. The very stunning Eva Longoria Parker. Spike Lee with sitting on the sidelines with the mascots particularly the Chicago Bulls mascot .. LOL
During the starting lineup intros, Shaq stunned the crowd by struttin' his moves with the Jabbawockeez! You gotta see this .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZu8J_ZNA4M
When Lebron James was introduced he also showed his dance moves!
The national anthems were sung by Tami and Jordan Sparks (American Idol). I was thinking it would be more a a match between Kobe Bryant and Lebron James tonight. All though Shaq isn't that great of a passer he made some nice passes. Dwight Howard thought he could distract the big man Shaq but then Shaq passed the ball between Dwight's legs. Haha .. ah classic!
At half time the presentation of the Rings for the Redeem Team. A moment of silence to remember our troops.
All though the game wasn't too exciting after half time, there were alot of very enternaining moments with the players all having fun, kiddin' around with one another.
I must say it seemed like there was never any tension with Shaq and Kobe. Playin' a little one on one during the warmups. Passing like the days when they were both Lakers. Then at the conclusion of the game Shaq and Kobe were chosen as Co MVP!
And that concludes my report on the All Star Game. Good night all!

NBA All Star Game
On this post Valentines Day Sunday, I'm am just anxiously waiting for the All Star Game tonight. I was definitely surprised with the outcome of the Slam Dunk Competition. That just goes to show you that size height does not matter and that you can accomplish anything you want! As long as you set your mind to it!
It seemed like Superman Dwight Howard wasn't too happy with the outcome. Atleast he was a good sport about letting the little guy jump over him.
It's difficult to guess who will be the MVP. I'm guessing Kobe or Lebron James. It's almost show time and i can't wait!
To all Canadian residents, I hope you enjoying you're Family Day long weekend! :)

My Valentines Day Blog
Where do I begin? Well this AM, I made an excuse to go out early to my wife, by myself of course. My excuse was I had to go to my bank to run an errand but what I really did was buy her a card and flowers. After having my morning jolt off coffee at my favourite coffee shop, I went to buy her flowers and a card. Then I had to buy the coffee filters. We really needed coffee filters so I figured it was a good excuse. When I got home she was so worried why it was taking my so long just to buy coffee filters. After giving her a smooch and handing her the flowers and saying I love you, I told her with a smile that she worries too much. :)
Instead going out for dinner we decided to have lunch instead. Then it was an afternoon of watching romantic tagalog (our native language) movies. While watching the movies I fell in love with some of the romantic scenes in Greece and I decided that this is a place I would love to go to. This and some other scenes gave me the motivation to blog about my exciting business. Like I said, I'm not going to give the details yet cuz I want to blog like an author writes a book. Suspense!
For dinner it was a night of wings, pizza while watching another tagalog movie. I wanted to do everything for our Valentines Day early so I could accomodate watching The Saturday Night All Star Basketball show. As I am writing this blog I am watching the Slam Dunk competition, listening to my Saturday night Old School jams on my favorite radio station and talking with my beautiful wife/Valentine. Talk about multitasking! :) For those of you who watch the NBA I think the Superman Dwight Howard is competing again! I have a feeling the Superman will win the Slamdunk competition again. OMG .. gentleman! Did you see that?? Dwight Howard stepped into a phone booth .. lol! In order to see the most exciting part of the Slam Dunk competition I have to end this particular blog.
I hope everyone is enjoying Valentines Day '09!

Superbowl Sunday 2009
It seems like yesterday when it was New Year's Eve but it's already been a month. My how time flies! After I posted my intro I forgot to mention it's Superbowl Sunday. It's just one of those days when you won't be able to drag me away from the TV. I'll be cheering on for the Cardinals cuz the Steelers have won it enough times. It's time for other people to feel that great moment of victory! Let's go Cardinals!
