PINOY TRIUMPHS AT THE 2010 WORLD POOL CHAMPIONSHIP

Filipinos again have a reason to celebrate- the victory of Francisco “Django” Bustamante at the recent 2010 World Pool Championship held in Doha, Qatar. As reported in the major newspapers, Bustamante downed Kuo Po-cheng of Chinese Taipeh in the final match at a score of 13-7 finally capturing the crown which eluded him for years. For his effort, Bustamante pocketed the top prize of $ 36, 000.

The victory of Bustamante once again proved the dominance of Pinoys in the sport of Billiard. Bustamante joins four other earlier World Pool titlists- Efren Reyes, Ronnie Alcano, Alex Pagulayan and Rubilen Amit- the women’s 10-ball titlist.

Apparently, Billiard is a sport where height is not might. Filipinos are not known for height. Bustamante, Reyes, Pagulayan, Amit and many other Filipino world class cue artists are not tall players. Top billiard players from other countries like Ralf Souquet and Mika Immonen are not tall either.

Poor But Rich

Have you in your entire life seen this kind of scenery? Do you think this man is really poor? Wow! Amazing! Cool! Truly, this old man is what will be the next generation poor people will look like. Settling in the streets with looks very deceiving but they are computer literate. I think this man in the picture is making a post to his blog, thinking deep thoughts, making articles and maybe finding some advertisers. Sounds crazy but maybe true. Maybe few years from now, from millions of blogger it will turn to billions and billions of blogger and maybe it will be hard to find advertisers. But this is a good thing if this kind of people exists in different parts of the world so people will have more alternatives and will be knowledgeable of the current and future technologies. So guys keep the spirit up because even the smallest and the most ordinary person in the world can do extra-ordinary things to make a little change to them but a big change to the whole world.
