Accumulated Punishment

Another phenomenal display of talent was shown by the 35 year old Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao of the Philippines in his latest bout against the American, Chris Algieri. Before the fight, various speculations are heard and people seemed to have divided views regarding  the match. Some said that it’s considered as “mismatch of the year”, yet others believed that it's gonna be an interesting one to see, considering Manny who uses "southpaw stance" will battle  Algieri,  who is a very unorthodox boxer.

 

Looking closely, the challenger, Algieri had been so consistent in his battles against tough players. He has an outstanding record of 20-0, with 8 wins by way of KO before losing to Pacman. His reach and height, which proven to be his advantage against the smaller Pacman, was the primary concern of the Pacquiao team and all boxing enthusiasts around the world. 

The fight lasted for 12 rounds, in an unending exchange of jabs and uppercuts everywhere.  Pacman, though, the more experienced fighter with his blatant display of ferocity and pure world-class boxing skills knocked down the tough challenger a total of six times, making it  impossible for his opponent to bounce back. The Filipino champ won the bout in a unanimous decision. It nearly ended the drought for Pacman after 5 years of no KO wins.

 

Aside from his latest accomplishment, the veteran boxer has proven to all Filipinos around the world his prowess in all facets of his life. He doesn't seem to stop, doesn't settle down and continues to do his best in everything he does. Truly, the pound-for-pound champion has resurfaced.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Lo and behold...

For the woman who needs no further introductions... 

(alai wa??)

who has a bunch of pseudonyms I've never heard of (gwellian??)

  

who has always been there...  (echos!!)

who often  eats in her dreams  (takaw)

who would rather hang out than read law books (tamad)

who always threatens me of lines "you're not gonna find another me" (duh!!)

who will always be my alarm clock in the morning (but it's still early!!)

would never stop bugging me even if the wifi connection is out! (suffocation)

who rocks malls, just to pursue her catwalk dreams.. (lol.. )

Anyways, I wrote this not to impress you of my literary prowess, I know I suck hahaha... Just like to bug you, and wait, am sorry I went through your fb's photos. I don't normally stalk on other people's post and photos like you usually do. hahaha... 

Thanks a bunch, you  just cause a huge chunk of inspiration in my poor blogging thing! 

Times have been very unforgiving and if there's one word to describe what happened to my page here, ah.. it's gonna be...an ebola virus that infects and interfere with my daily writing activities, my page died down in an excruciating manner. I was hoping you would love this though.

It's just surreal and it was unbelievably remarkable how we manage to recuperate from all the issues we've been through. I don't know why, you're just as cruel like drones that lurks around looking for suspicious targets and ready to strike. You always paint hypothetical pictures in your mind that lead us to an unending argument every time. lol.. Still, in the end, there's always a glimmering hope and we always get along just fine...

I'm pretty sure that we at some point would make everything all mapped out and make the best of our lives. YOU have taught me patience, keeping calm and breathe in the good shit, breathe the bad shit, out. I taught you victory loves preparation. But it's kinda funny how we are both "askholes" most of the times. lol...

( a person who constantly ask for your advice, yet always does the opposite of what you told them)

P.S. I want you to know that i'm not gonna stop bugging you.

        Galingan recit hahahaha...

        Good luck on your future endeavors... And stop reading...

"YOU SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING NOW"

(taxi sa kahabaan ng mandaluyong, kabisado ko lugar promise. We're not gonna get lost sure na!)

Oh.. Uttaraditt

It's been a while since the last I've posted here. The last thing  I remembered was the time  I've made a decision to move and try a different place. It's indeed a crazy decision. But just like what my friend said... "life's a bitch"! It bites you in the ass sometimes. lol... Forgive and forget and move on with life, yet sometimes memories will haunt you back and you can't do anything about it. 

To cut this short, we were assigned to help someone in an essay writing competition. Surprisingly, she needed to write something about her place, and lo and behold, she was from the same crib where I was before.

“My Town”

“Round my hometown, memories are fresh
Round my hometown, ooh, the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world, are the wonders of my world”

These are famous lines from my favorite song and it reminds me of my lovely hometown. I was born in Uttaraditt, a place in the northern Thailand. There are numerous reasons why I would consider myself lucky to be from my town. First and foremost, my town was blessed with an abundance of natural resources and due to its somewhat central demographic location, going to different cities and other prominent places in Thailand is very easy and convenient.

Aside from that, life in Uttaraditt is extremely laid back and the people are very warm and welcoming. It is easy to move around and see different landmarks because you could ask for directions from anyone whom you may happen to come across. The environment is conducive for learning because of the prestigious schools and universities that the city has to offer. It is indeed a lovely place to call home. People have a sense of hospitality and most of them are cheerful givers. Almost everyone greets one another and the environment is always friendly. Furthermore, although the town is a bit far Bangkok, children are able to inculcate knowledge. As one strolls around town, they can definitely sense that there is no segregation in Uttaraditt. The gap between the rich and the poor is nonexistent here. A gentleman with a BMW or Mercedes could sit along street and eat dinner with common folks and this would be nothing out of the ordinary.

For those of you interested in nature, the largest Teak Tree in the world happily resides in Uttaraditt! However, the tallest and oldest Teak Tree in the world is the Kannimara Teak located India; but as for the largest, this one happily sits in the Tree Forest National Park in Nam Pat District, Uttaraditt. It has an approximate age of 1,511 years and measures in at a massive 37 meters in height and 6.57 meters in diameter. It is a must see if you are ever in town!

  

Another lovely and breathtaking scene in town is the Sirikit Dam. The dam was created for irrigation and to supply electricity, but its beautiful characteristics capture people’s attention when they visit. People from out of town  can rent and ride bicycles and even surf the North part of the dam to see "Lake Suriian Moon."

I often go home during weekends because I miss my family and my town. What even surprised me the last time I went there was that I happened to see a lot of foreigners enjoying their stay in Uttaraditt.  This place is like an oasis!  One could completely take a sit back and relax here and enjoy their stay. Everything in my place is just stunning and spectacular and I could not ask for more. Though it’s small and simple, it has been nesting and hiding a beauty so unique and wonderful. I really do appreciate it.
