Pinoy ako! :)

It’s good to be Pinoy!

Today is one of the greatest day for every Pinoy in the planet. Two of our greatest and bravest fighters face their respective opponents in the ring, to give honor and to represent our country. Manny “Pacman” Paquiao won his bout against Miguel Cotto this morning, while Brandon  “The Truth” Vera was defeated in a close decision fight against Randy “The Natural” Couture. Both Pinoys gave us pride in representing our country, win or lose they gave their best in their respective fights.

I am so proud for Manny and Brandon! They represented our country very well. Manny as usual gave us pride in winning the 12 rounds of boxing against his opponent. However, Brandon was very classy in accepting his defeat, I know The Truth will be back and we will be waiting for it. I take pride of being Pinoy now more that ever because of these two fighters. Till your next fights guys! I will be supporting you all the way.

Its Time! (entry last 10/25/2009)

I am sitting in the living room waiting for the main fight to start. I am really a big fan of UFC; thanks to Nanang I got hooked. LOLZ! How in the world does a 75-year-old woman stand to watch 2 men brawling, cheering for the other while the other one is bleeding? Too funny, I know. I can’t even imagine it, until I saw the phenomenon, hahaha!

When Nanang was in Medical City, Jimby and I was in-charge to look after her. I can vaguely remember after the nurse came for her rounds, she asked me to turn on the TV to watch UFC (“Anne, paki-lipat nga yung channel sa bogsing”). I think it was Clay Guida’s fight that we saw that morning. Nanang, so sleepy but commenting on the side “naku talo na! lumaban ka naman! Uhm! Uhm! Uhm!” I was watching her laughing, and can’t believe that my grandmother, 75-year-old and sick, excited to see who will win. That was the beginning of my UFC obsession.

I really enjoyed watching the fight with Nanang. I hope her next vacation we can have another UFC session. I miss Nanang… Well got to go, main event is about to start UFC 104 – Machida vs Rua. Go Lyoto!
