Basyang Has Left The Building...Thank God!
Is she really gone?
What she did was a hell of a disaster to those who crossed her path. Wait, wasn't she the one who was crossing our land? Well, it didn't matter to her. She still brought havoc to the lands affected by her.
Basyang was one helluva typhoon. Who named this typhoon after a woman's name was really asking for it. Nothing is more frightening than a woman's wrath. Next time, can we just name our typhoons after a guy's name?
Good luck to the land she will be visiting. It will be one great party!!!

Father's Day: Papa Tikboy's Day

I say he is extraordinarily diligent and the most responsible dad I know. Give me a chance to choose another guy to be my dad and I would still pick this choco-colored skin guy in the photo-- but don't mistake him with the Chocolate Guy in that AXE Ad.
Of course, my old man is not perfect and also had his own share of lapses. There were even moments, I remember, when I so hated his guts that I wouldn't want to be around him. He was strict with me and my sisters when we were still young. He didn't save us from the rod-- well at least with me. As he aged, he somewhat 'slowed' down and later on was just more on the reminders--lots of them-- when dealing with my sisters during stubborn moments.
It's Father's Day and I, and in behalf of my sisters, would like to express my gratitude to the greatest father I know-- my Papa Tikboy. I would like him to know that we acknowledge and appreciate all his efforts to raise us as the best person that we can be. His ways may sometimes be different but we know he meant well.
I hope I've made you happy and proud of what I have become because of all your -- together with Mama Celing--sacrifices and labor.
You deserve all the best in the world for being our greatest dad!
We love you, Pa!
P.S. Happy Father's Day to all the Dads in the world!

Floyd Mayweather vs Juan Manuel Marquez bout Postponed(?)
But whether it's a rib injury or just him chickening out, it still doesn't look good for him and with his plans of facing the charm of Manny Pacquiao in the ring. I don't remember hearing Manny backing out from a big fight. I recall he even fought a Thailander even when he was not feeling well during fight night. He lost to that lucky Thailander though-- who actually grabbed the turn of events to his favor.
Now, I doubt it if Mayweather Jr. is indeed the best opponent for Pacquiao at the moment. Miguel Cotto seems to be more interesting to see with Pacquiao inside the ring.
Mayweather Jr. should have stayed at home and enjoyed his retirement. What he is doing won't help him and his reputation at all.
Let your "rib" speak for you.

My Short Visit to Cebu
I just want to share some photos during my short (just went there for my mom and dad's birthdays) but memorable visit to my parents in Cebu. It's been years since my last visit so I really had to go there. I never got to see my dad during his birthday last January and last June 3 was my mom's birthday, so the visit was for both of my folks. And besides I miss them so much too.
I also got to meet, finally, my nephew Yuan. I've heard a lot of things about him from my sisters. But before I hit Cebu, I actually told myself to try not to be so attached with the cute little angel for personal reasons. Unfortunately, Yuan got ways (and tricks) to get me so fond of the little guy that I'm afraid I might have to brace myself for a 'heartbreak' or disappointment soon. I just hope my sister, Yuan's mom, won't choose to keep the newest member of our family away from us.
Well, whatever happens, Yuan has a special place in our hearts. I hope he will grow up to be a fine man and make his mom and us proud.
Because of the lack of time, I wasn't able to meet one of the significant people in my life-- my bestfriend Kenneth. She wanted us to meet during my visit and I learned she even applied for a leave from work just to make sure she's available within the days of my stay. But it never materialize. There was not enough time and I had to attend to family issues. This could mean I just lost my bestfriend. I hope she's reading this so she would know how sorry I am to make her wait for nothing.
I met my nephew but I lost my bestfriend (still hoping that I didn't). Some experience in such a short visit to Cebu, huh?

Proud and Loud Filipino - Ako Mismo
It's Philippine Independence Day and everyone (I bet most bloggers too) are on their toes posting about it. Obviously, I'm joining the posting spree and give my piece to this site.
I am proud to be a Filipino. I can't think of any nationality that I would rather belong to than being a filipino. Although I think a dual citizenship won't hurt but if I am asked to choose a nationality, it's Filipino in a heartbeat.
Apparently, you can hear and see such claims of pride to almost everyone with this nationality whoever they may be. Even those kababayans who are following the lifestyles of other countries can be caught standing up to their being Filipinos. So being proud of this great nationality, even with all the political mud involved, recently is no longer as admirable than before.
So instead of asking myself if I am proud to be a Filipino, I think it's long overdue to ask myself what can I do to give back the same pride to my country? You can ask yourself that too especially on this very significant day for our country.
Since hearing our fellow Filipinos bragging about how proud they are (and we should be too) having Filipino blood in their veins is still music to the ears, I have included some of them right here (I got them from ClicktheCity.com ). And pictures of personalities who has given pride to our country can also be found.
Are you proud of being a Filipino? Can you name more people who have given pride to our beloved Philippines?
