Speak my mind

I have always been a fan of Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao and I have always watched his fights live. Today was different cause I had some important things to do together with Zenia’s family. We had a great day visiting some neighboring islands near Mactan. Even though I was not able to watch the match live, I still had updates on the status of this historical match by Manny Pacquiao since this will be the first time an asian will obtain 4 titles in 4 different divisions.

Every minute or so I SMS my younger brother for some updates on the match. There were even some prank messages spreading the bad news that Pacquiao lost the match and everytime I heard the different bad rumors spreading thru SMS my heart skipped a beat. That match has got to be the most excited boxing match I’ve ever experience. The excitement of who won the match was killing me. Maybe it was because this was the first time I ever followed Pacquiao’s match without watching it.

After several bad rumors about pacman’s defeat, I was already so anxoius especially because my brother had not messaged me for quiet a while about some updates. I was starting to lose hope that maybe the rumor’s were true. Then just when I was about to give in to the bad news my cellphone had a message alert. It was my brother sending me the latest update on the match! Pacman won on the 9th round KO!!!

I was so ecstatic about the news that I announced it to Zenia’s aunt and cousin that Pacman won and it was by Knock Out. By far that match was the most thrilling match I ever encountered ever since I started watching Pacman’s matches. The first thing I did when arrived home was to search for the replays of the matches on the net and here is a link to the whole match I found on the internet.

After a well deserved vacation at Bantayan island I was faced with a lot of problems the day after we arrived. The next day after our vacation I needed to finish my enrollment since I only had a week left until the deadline. It took me a whole week just to process my enrollment since I had to talk to the dean for violating some of the probationary requirements of the school, to make matters worst, while I was still processing my enrollment classes had already started and one of my professors told the class that she will give us an exam on the next meeting. Sheesh, we haven’t even adjusted from the summer break and she gave us one hell of a load of cases to read.

After sorting things out with the dean, My next objective was to buy my books for all of my subjects. I was surprised when I got all the prices for all of my books. They cost more than my enrollment fee! and to make matters worst most of the books I need were out of stock. Luckily, thanks to my resourcefulness, I found other ways to secure a copy of those books. I think any wise law student from Cebu knows where to secure those books.hehehe

I was already a week late the first day I attended my class this semester,I had a lot of catching up to do with some of my subjects. The cases assigned to us were pilling up and Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, a Typhoon struck our place and there was a long power outage. After the power returned the website where I usually research my cases was offline. Argh!!!

Anyway even though a lot of unfortunate events has happened in the past few days, I’m still glad that I have managed to overcome those obstacles. Though it wasn’t easy, what really matters is not giving up. I just hope this week would be better, I really need a break from all this constant pressure.hehehe

A simple dinner which turned into a culture shock for me and my cousins. I never thought there were so many varieties of Chinese food that I’ve never even seen or tasted. Check out my shocking experience at my Cebu food spot blog

A couple of days ago, everyone in the office has been trying out paid to click websites. I have tried it before but somehow never gave it enough attention. That is when our manager showed us what he earned when he invested a small amount of time with these sites. I opened some of my former accounts and explored some other PTC sites. I was surprised that these sites were still around and some are even getting bigger.

I researched on some other sites and found a couple of good sites which I’m going to religiously try in the next few weeks. So far I haven’t received any bad feed backs from these site, I don’t expect to earn a lot from this site but I’m willing to give it a try though, who knows maybe I might earn something from this. I have a couple of list on the sites I joined in my other blog. Please visit my other blog Money and Opportunity for more details.

I visited this blog which features some pretty neat paper models. There are some paper models which looks so realistic it really doesn’t look anything like paper. The blog has a wide variety of models from simple to the super intricate I bet it really took a large chunk of his time doing it. I admire the patience of these people making those paper models, It really takes a lot of dedication, patience and love for it in order to finish those models. Here is one of my favorite paper model from his blog.

Ever since summer began I was aching to spend some time at the beach. I wanted to go to the neighboring islands here in Cebu. Zenia and me have been planning all summer to visit those places but to much dismay we haven’t even visited the beaches here in Cebu. There were just s many unfortunate events that transpired during the summer such as bad weather, conflicting schedules or our resources were tapped out that all our plans never pushed through. There is only a week left before summer ends. I hope that we could able visit at least one beach this summer so that this summer wouldn’t be such a waste.

Take a look at what Me and Zenia envisioned for our house. Visit my art & architecture blog for more images.

Ever since I was still in high school I’ve always wondered about my ancestry. I could still vividly remember I used to ask my grandmother a lot of questions about her family and my grandfathers family. I never had a chance to meet my grandfather on my dad side. I was so enthusiastic on knowing my family tree that I asked everyone in my family about the history of my family and decided to make a family tree. Its more than ten years since I decided to do that family tree, talk about procrastination.hehehe

A couple of weeks ago I was attending a lot of family gathering and I was stunned that there were still a lot of relatives that I still don’t recognize. I realize then that I could still trace my mothers family tree since their family is really close. That’s when I recalled that I made a promise to myself to make that family tree. Later that night after we got home, I immediately browsed the net for a program to help me with these. Luckily I found one and began tracing my roots.

After a few inputs in the program I hit a brick wall. I had a glitch in my plan, I couldn’t remember all the birthdays and complete names of some of my relatives. Another problem was I couldn’t trace a lot of my relatives in my fathers side since the connection stops on my grandfather. My dad, uncle and aunts never exerted any effort on tracing our roots in China.

I know what your thinking, why don’t I look Chinese. Hmmmmm that has got to do with my mother, she is a pure Filipina and her bloodline is quite strong thats why I look more Filipino than Chinese. After evaluating things, I decided to deal this with a different approach. In order for me to trace all my relatives and ancestors I would have to ask help from my immediate relatives. I should gather some information from them regarding our relatives there in China. I heard we have some relatives in Hong Kong. But first things first I should try and compile everything in my vicinity before I venture on looking for my relatives outside. I never thought making a family tree would take a lot of hard work. Anyway If anyone could give any suggestions on helping me with this project I am very much open to any suggestions.
