Boxing

-

This is a picture of avid boxing fans in the Philippines. As far as I can remember, boxing has always been a popular sport back home. I still remember 'Thrilla in Manila" although I didn't watch it. I remember our neighbors getting together so they could watch it as a group. Navarette was the name that used to come to mind whenever I think of Filipino boxers. He used to be famous but it was a brief one.

Today, Manny Pacquiao is synonymous to 'boxing' back there [and everywhere, maybe?]. Why not when he's been setting world record after world record just like what he did when he beat his latest opponent yesterday. According to the news, crimes come to a halt whenever he has a fight. One can only wish....if he can fight daily. Of course that's not possible.

After this latest victory, I wonder if he will return to the ring again. A Mayweather bout is what's everybody's waiting for. But is it worth it?
Anyway...I don't watch boxing. I'm happy he won but I just can't watch a sport where blood is a sure thing. But that's just me.

So you're not a boxing fan pala, ha J? Everyone here is glued on screens whether in movie houses, restos, open grounds or anywhere that shows Pacquiao's fight. The world comes into a halt every time Pacquiao is on the ring. We were lucky to watch it live in the resort we were in yesterday.Exciting!
Pacquiao definitely doesn't need Gayweather, err.. Mayweather. Next time nood ka na! Lol!

We just had a wonderful weekend. I hope you had too!

bulaga din hahaha. ako din, hindi boxing fanatic. si F, he really wants to see the Mayweather -Pacquaio fight if it ever happens. sabi niya, kahit sa Pinas daw ang laban dadayuin daw niya hahaha.

weather's been nice kahit mahangin. I'd take it over icy and bitter cold temps.

sana tahimik ang Miyerkoles ninyo.

You Belong With Me...Little One's Version

-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the little one singing with the new Taylor Swift song called: You Belong with Me ... acapella She's a big TS fan right now so that's all I'm hearing around the house lately. The little one's video is far from perfect but I'm a proud Mama. She recorded this all on her own so pardon the little 'booboos/mistakes' she made while recording/singing. Enjoy! If you're not familiar with the song, here's the link to the official video .

Paid Blogging....

 ...is that still even a thing today? I stopped blogging actively several years ago...so now I'm like starting all over again.  I don't even know what to post anymore. A lot has changed since I started this blog in 2008. Yep, that's how long ago it's been. Back then I just wanted to write whatever. I was already a WAHM - Work at Home Mom when I started this blog and that's how my blog title came about. I started doing work-at-home jobs as early as 2002. I had a handful of different jobs I was juggling at that time so blogging was just really something I did during my free time. After a while I did paid blogging. I did that for a few years. I tried to do it as much as I could but my 'real' jobs had to be my priority so my blogging had to take a back seat. In retrospect, that may be the reason why I slowly lost interest in doing it. I tried going back to it every now and then, but the 'mojo' is just not there so I stopped altogether but opted to keep m...
