Running? These days I’m just like Mark Wahlberg, I think I’d rather watch a chicken roast than run for over an hour. If it were like 2005, which is I think the last time I was able to go over an hour on a treadmill. I was also close to 20 pounds lighter then.

As for the 5 AM call time…you guessed it. That would be a hard thing to do especially on a Sunday.

I know, excuses right? But I’ve never really been a runner.

The thing is, there’s something telling me to go to this event or at least try to wake up for this. Maybe it’s the new running shoes I bought for the gym after my I lost the sole/heel of my previous shoe without even knowing it. Haha

Maybe it’s the excitement of eating breakfast in Fort on a Sunday morning and enjoying the place while there’s still no traffic and still enjoy the view (open areas) where buildings haven’t been constructed yet.

I still have about a week to decide whether I should join or not but I need your help to decide. Should I run or should I hide(under my blanket)? Let me know all right? (Do answer the poll on the sidebar thanks)

In just 359 seconds, Manny Pacquiao crushed Ricky Hatton on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It took just two rounds for him to make people around the world that he is the the top dog in boxing today.

Hatton received jabs, left hooks, right hooks that made him fall on the canvas twice in the first round. In the second round, Pacquiao released his patented left punch to end Hatton’s night on the mat with just a second left. It was a knockout that showed how powerful Pacquiao is or should I say that it proved that Pacquiao also had the power to match Hatton’s.

“Our strategy was the one punch,” Pacquiao said. “Left hook. Right hook. That was going to be the key to this fight.”

After this fight it showed that you didn’t just need power, you needed to adapt and to have a strategy.

“I knew it was over,” said Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s trainer (referring to the punch in the first round where a right hook put Hatton down with 54 seconds remaining) “Ricky fights the same way over and over. He doesn’t have the ability to adjust.”

Congratulations to Manny Pacquiao for beating Ricky Hatton! I’d love seeing Pacquiao win but it’s bittersweet since a part of me enjoys the fact that crime rate is down in Manila and everyone enjoys watching but as each game passes, it means that he’s closer to running in politics. I really hope not as maybe he can just choose another avenue to help the Philippines be more united like let’s say more boxing schools, schools in general and more.

His charisma is just great and I just wish he chooses the right path.

Too bad I won’t be able to get one of these since I really want one. I’m sure Nike or his other sponsors might make one but it just nice to see Pacquiao honored by the Giants and him wearing their uniform in his bobblehead figurine. Anyway, I guess Pacquiao’s weekend won’t be all about training for boxing, he would also have to train how to pitch in tomorrow’s game.

Eugene Philip Amano is the first Filipino-American NFL player and he currently plays for the Tennessee Titans and is an offensive lineman. He was born here in Manila on March 1, 1982 but studied in the US and played for Southeast Missouri State University where he excelled. As a senior he won the Division I-AA Dave Rimington Trophy, given annually to top center in college football at each level of competition.

He was then drafted by the Titans in the 7th round of the 2004 but was used mostly in special teams. Only recently has he had a starting role for them and has been a success where he was noted as one of the best finds in Titans draft history.

His family moved to the US when he was only two months old and he hasn’t been back to Manila but is proud of his roots that he started his own clothing line called AMANO ISLAND STRENGTH CLOTHING. He is also planning to make his own foundation called Eugene Amano Foundation to help our next generation of Filipino youth to a good education & great success.

Eugene Amano's clothing line

As a fan of the NFL because of the San Francisco 49ers, I’m a little bothered that I haven’t known of Amano’s roots. Good thing I stumbled upon shawie.com where he was featured there. Well, I guess offensive linemen aren’t that popular compared with the other positions that’s why he hasn’t gotten that much publicity he deserves. After writing this post, I feel that I’d be rooting for the Titans (and of course, the Niners) or wherever Amano is this coming 2009-2010 NFL season.

Here a video clip of Eugene Amano:

“They wouldn’t stop us from running laps until I started to sweat. I don’t know why, but I could never sweat, even if my teammates were begging me to. Sige na Please!” -Miakka Lim

Do you realize what this means? Miakka Lim will always be a girl. In any given situation she will always retain her girl-ness, as it were. Even in the story she relates about her high school volleyball team. I’m serious. I’m also not trying to be sexist here; I’m well aware of the myth that says girls don’t fart, go number 2 or sweat. But she’s living proof. Unnatural? Maybe. Endearing? Definitely. – Mihk Vergara, Uno Magazine.

There you have it. Go grab a copy of Uno Magazine if you want to see and know more about Miakka Lim.

It’s VitWater, you know? (the RFM drink that was inspired by the popular Vitaminwater in the US). It’s what keeps Manny strong and healthy.

Watch and learn from this advertisement of Manny Pacquiao endorsing Vitwater or should I say “Feet water” and see how his English skills and Vitwater will defeat Ricky Hatton.
Click here to view the embedded video.

So now you know the secret of Manny.

Pacquiao vs Hatton trash talk:

Ricky Hatton: “He (Pacquiao) should certainly be worried about my power.”

Manny Pacquiao: (after knocking out Ricky Hatton) “Who’s got the power?? Now you know!”

RH: “I’ll be keeping the same ferocity I’ve always had and when he feels my strength I don’t think Manny will stand about”

MP: “Stand About? What about? I don’t know”

Freddie Roach: “I think it’s going to be the best three rounds you’ve ever seen. It’s going to be short and sweet.”

MP: “You really know, Freddie..you really know”

Pacquiao selected Nievera among a short list of great Filipino singers that included rising star Charice Pempengco and international star Lea Salonga.

Nievera will also be the first male artist selected in a Pacquiao fight in the United States after the previous singers were Karylle, Ciara Sotto, Kyla, Lani Misalucha, Bituin Escalante, Geneva Cruz, Sarah Geronimo and Jennifer Bautista.

The fight is three weeks away and I’m sure Pacquiao and Hatton are doing their best in training camp. What is usually said is “May the best fighter win” but you know I can’t say that whole heartedly. What I am willing to say is that “Pacquiao will beat Hatton.”
