Nelson Mandela Turns 92

Posted on the July 18th, 2010 under Famous People by admin

I admire only a handful of politicians and world leaders combined, and Nelson Mandela is at the top of my list for those who are still alive. Today he is celebrating his 92nd birthday. I was actually surprised to find out he’s already at that age. I had thought that he was at least 20 years younger.

Here’s a story by The Vancouver Sun about Mandela’s birthday

Charice Sings the National Anthem

Posted on the July 3rd, 2010 under Famous People by admin

Charice Pempengco, in my opinion and that of thousands of others, beautifully and perfectly sung our national anthem at Pres. Noynoy Aquino’s inauguration.

I just wish that she would be the one to sing the national anthem in Manny Pacquiao’s next fight.

Mostly Mayweather

Mayweather vs. Mosley

I only caught a few of the last rounds of yesterday’s big boxing fight, Mayweather vs. Mosley. And this is all I can say about it…

It was Mosley…er….mostly Mayweather.

:)

Mosley was basically in defense the last couple of rounds, sometimes there was not even a defense at all. You could see both his gloves down, putting up what I would call a pseudo-defense. All in all, although the fight started promising, it was really a Mayweather show.

Now it’s time for a Pacquiao vs. Mayweather match. Nothing else.

I’m Fed Up With Nanay Dionisia

Posted on the September 7th, 2009 under Famous People by admin

She may be the mom of our champion but to see her every single day on TV commercials is already too much. Let’s admit it. There’s a reason why commercial models are pretty. Because they are good to look at, plus they speak well. I don’t understand the language she is using, but that’s not what I’m criticizing. It’s her voice which is verging on the point of irritating.

I was a Magnolia fan. I said was because they have lost me when they got Nanay Dionisia as an endorser. Magnolia is one of the products that can be considered as classics (just think about the glass containers Magnolia milk and Chocolait used to be contained in) but the classic feel was lost with these recent TV ads.

For me, Nanay Dionisia has lost that aura of novelty that made her a hit in the beginning. Now she’s just plain irritating.

What’s John Stockton Up to Lately?

Posted on the August 26th, 2009 under Famous People by admin

I’m not sure what my basketball idol is currently doing. I’m talking about John Stockton, the NBA’s all-time leader in assists and steals.

When he retired a few years back, I was really saddened because he was the only player that I truly followed his career. I still know most of his career stats and how much I loved it every time the announcer says, “Stockton to Malone”. It was truly sweet.

I would love it if John would land a head coaching job in the NBA. Being one of the NBA’s greatest playmakers, I think he perfectly fits that role.

David Letterman and Ray Romano

Posted on the August 26th, 2009 under Famous People,Media by admin

I’m a big fan of David Letterman and his ‘The Late Show’. With Ray Romano, I’m just a bit familiar with the guy. But when I came across this YouTube video of them doing interview, I had a great fun time watching them both.
