Filipino Nation Celebrates Pacquiao's Triumph

In the Philippines, everything seem to take a backseat activities everytime Pacquiao fights. Crime and even insurgent activities drastically drop. The recent Pacquiao-Margarito fight was no exception. Everybody it seems is watching the fight. Glued to their TV sets or theater screens, folks all over the nation were shown in news footages spontaneously erupting into cheers everytime Pacquiao hits Margarito. Though the expected knockout did not materialize, the Filipinos were ecstatic over Pacquiao's victory. Pacquiao not only convincingly won the fight but now possess the distinction of topping eight weight divisions. This is unprecendented in the boxing history - a record to beat for a long long time. Here is a fearless boxer who fought the top boxers of his time in different wight divisions and beat them all. Yet in all of these successes, Pacquaio remains humble and well mannered. No wonder he is a boxing icon not only in this nation but the world over.

I watched the fight on a pay per view and later reviewed same twice on commercial channels. His speed, power and boxing savy is mezmerizing to watch.

A Pacquiao-Mayweather fight next? Unlikely. Most fight fans like me suspect, Mayweather has been scared of Pacquaio. Though Mayweather already seem to run out of credible reasons and alibis not to fight Pacquiao, expect his team to invent more silly ones. Anyway
Pacquiao doesn't need a Mayweather. Pacquaio has already attained boxing greatness.

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.
