MANNY PACQUIAO on JIMMY KIMMEL SHOW

Enjoy !!!

October was full of unexpected happenings... one typhoon after the other, prices of food and gasoline going up...all i can say is that we (my family) are very thankful that we are all safe.

Firstly, I registered for my MBA class just in the nick of time and will start next week Monday. I have been doing some advance reading and studying while watching t.v. which means that I am "hardLY" studying. tsk tsk tsk! good luck to me! hehehe!

I  managed to get a passing grade (which means I almost did not... gosh! tsk tsk tsk !!!) to move up to Curso 7 of my Spanish class and now I am at Curso 8 and still having a hard time using the verb tenses properly.  Hmm... but I am really having a great time in class not to mention all the chismis that we have been doing.  And I was happy to watch some movies from Pelicula, Pelikula and Italian Film Festival I got a chance to meet up with old friends that I haven't seen in a long time and recruited a newbie "belle" who also caught the movie festival virus. Hehehe!!!  I missed Cinemanila though...
I also registered to take the DELE test for acseso 1 which will be on November 14 and volunteered for a trial exam for acseso 2 last week Wednesday which I think I screwed up. Tsk tsk tsk !!! hehehe!

I did some picture taking of my lumbar spine cause it was hurting for some time now and my dear doctor said that I am just fine she gave me meds and I think the meds are really strong and won't let me go to sleep! gosh!

Michelle and James also spared some time to meet me and my mother for dinner. It's so nice to talk and see them... see you again soon.

And of course how can I forget about Kazuto's bday! Happy Birthday dear !!!! and many more birthdays to come! ( I know that your birthday is on November 5..hehehe!!! )
                             
                              From: Kazuto
                              Hello. Thank you for E-mailing. However, it is not November 4 and November 5 is my birthday in me.

Time flies so fast.... it's already November and for all you know it will be December and here comes another year again.
I am just waiting for more surprises to come... and I can't wait ... see yah around everyone !!! :-)

Finally ! the internet is back and I am going to update everyone soon.. I just want you all to know that we are all fine. Thank you for the emails and text messages.

In the meantime, I need to study for my Spanish test tomorrow and do some chores. Take care everyone and be safe.

Since I have 3 days off vacation I was very happy cause I got a lot of time to do my homework and read the new book "Banker to the poor by: Muhammad Yunus" that I just bought at the International Book Fest at SMX Convention Center. Ate May recommended that this book was really good and since I'll be going to business school I should catch up on reading and do a lot of research on business, people and etc. 

Anyway, Shiela called and told me that her flight to Singapore was canceled so, she invited me to go to Lucban, Quezon her hometown together with her friend Albert.  It's been a long time since I last visited Lucban and I will never forget it cause it was Pahiyas Festival the best festival every May. How I miss those days.....
So, we all went to Lucban and planned to go to Hands of Jesus the next morning and have the Sunday mass there. The next day, we all had breakfast and went together to the church and after the mass Albert and I went up the 150 steps to see the huge Jesus Christ statue. I was so happy.

    

                    


And after we went to her Aunt Nora's house to have lunch cause it's their wedding anniversary and after we left for Sampaloc, Quezon for her friend's son 1st birthday party. It was a 30 minute drive from Lucban and the landscape was amazing but the weather was totally different and it was really HOT !!! and after eating we head back home and made plans to go to Taytay Waterfalls the next day but judging from the 6,000ml of Lambanog that I saw I don't think we could go to the waterfalls tomorrow. Anyway, that night Shiela and I just walked around town and had some talk over coffee at Cafe San Luis. And went back home and slept well.

And this morning I just prepared to go home and before leaving I went around town to look around and took photos. Here are some photos I took:

        


    

I went home riding the JAC Liner bus and took me 4 hours to get home cause the bus passed by every small town in Laguna. My neck and ass hurts !!!! Ouchhhh !!!!! All in all I really had a great weekend. I hope all of you had a great weekend too.

Katherine guested at Ellen Degeneres Show and she officially announced that she will adapt a Korean baby, and I am like WHAT??? sometimes I  think that adapting is becoming a serious fad in Hollywood for instance Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt, Madonna, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman (before), even Bruno got one !!!

But after reading through some news it turned out that Katherine's family adapted a Korean girl and now her sister. Judging from the pictures they seem to be very happy and close and that is where Katherine and Josh got the idea of adapting.  And not only that  that Katherine and her mom put up a foundation in memory of her brother JasonHeiglFoundation.org.

Well, the adaption did happened and I think they are very happy. Congratulations !!!

Hello Naleigh !!!

I was already preparing myself to move to my next option and also preparing my heart to face the rejection that might happen. But I received a phone call saying that I have an interview. What??? an interview ??? my heart was pounding hard I cannot believe what I am hearing.... So, I came on the said date but I got rescheduled because there was a typhoon and only 2 applicants (including me) out of 5 came. So, they rescheduled us and when the day came it was me and him again. We took the continuation exam and after we had a separate interview. It was the longest and toughest interview that I ever had. But they saw my potential and told me to make them proud !!! and I will !!!!

Yes !!!! I am the chosen one !!!

I will conquer MBA this coming November !!! See you !!!

            

After taking the test at facebook

August is an exciting month for me because I have 2 important friends that are coming to Philippines. Firstly, Stephanie who is my BFF way back in Korea and Shiela who is also another BFF way back in college.
I was really happy when Stephanie sent me an email that she is coming to Philippines gosh! we didn't see each other for 5 years and now the time has come. I was really worried and I want her first visit to be memorable and fun.. I have planned a lot of things to do and places to visit but of course as we all know sometimes not all plans can happen.

I just waited for her to arrived and go with the flow...
On her first day we visited the Old Manila - Intramuros - the walled city and I really love Intramuros every time I go there it's like going back to the past during the days of Jose Rizal and Maria Clara. After a lot of walking, talking, sight seeing, picture taking... I took her to the seaside market where all the seafood are fresh ! Yum Yum!

   

After an orgasmic dinner of crabs and scallops.. we went for a walk by the bay... the weather was so great and ocean breeze is just what we need to wrap up the day.

On her 2nd day... We went to Tagaytay and Caleruega and had a very healthy organic lunch at Sonya's Garden

  

Went straight to Makati at Bonifacio High Street for dinner and after invited my colorful friend Monchu to have a night out to see pretty boys...after a few San Miguel we were full and happy ~

Her 3rd day was very light she was a bit tired with the weather and humidity so, we decided to stroll at the mall and start her shopping. We went at the supermarket and to my surprise she bought a lot of things like fruits, snacks, body care products and etc. At night we went to Cafe Havana for a little bit of dancing and rum coke then spent the wee hours at Wensha SPA. It was great~

                                                  This is her before eating                          and                  This is her while eating

Before going to the airport we had some rum coke at Blue wave went straight to the airport. And I am already missing my BFF. It was really amazing that after five years time didn't change our friendship. When we saw each other it was like we just didn't meet for 1 week. And we promised each other that we will meet again but not after five years. No goodbyes for us just ... See you later~ Hasta Luego chica~

Our beloved President Corazon C. Aquino passed away this morning at 3:18am.  The whole Philippines is mourning offering their condolences and prayers. Since, the former president announced that she will not take any medications for her colon cancer. Everyone in the country has been praying for her. Yellow ribbons was everywhere in the street  as a sign of support.  All of the mass dedicates a special prayer for her.

This is the moment when you see that the whole nation reunites and become ONE just like what she did for 1986 People Power.

I was 6 years old when the People Power started I remember my father used to go to Camp Crame to assist in the revolution as he was a loyalist of Fidel V. Ramos. My mother was very scared that my father might not come home but everything was settled when the Marcos Family left the Malacanang Palace and the people won and brought back democracy in the Philippines. And I believe we all owe it to our former President Corazon C. Aquino.

I also remember my brief visit at the Aquino Musuem in Tarlac last January while waiting for my guests to finish playing golf at Luisita Golf and Country Club. There was no one so, I was left to wonder the whole museum alone and I did savor every moment inside the museum. It's a huge collection of Cory and Benigno's memorabilia, family photos, diaries and letters of Cory and Ninoy, campaign posters and even the clothes that Ninoy was wearing when he was shot at the airport and the blood stains was still there and was carefully preserved by Cory. Her paintings and awards were also there and also the collections of gifts that she received during her visits and meeting in other countries.

A last glimpse of the Key moments in the life of President Corazon Aquino.

Another sad news today, My friend Diorella Banzon sent a text message saying that her father also passed away today.
To my dear friend Diorella I am very sorry for your lost my condolences goes out to you and your family. I miss you.

My deepest condolences also goes out the whole Aquino Family.

  
                                                                        President Corazon C. Aquino
                                                                      (July 25, 1933 - August 1, 2009)

                                                                     She will always be remembered.

Everyone can go and pay their respect at De La Salle Greenhills or you may visit her website Cory Aquino.
