Manny Pacquiao hits for 7th Belt

Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto is a fight to be watched.  Not only they are two of the boxing world’s crowd stirring boxers not failing to put the butts on the heel; not only this fight would once again put to test if it is power punch or footwork and lightning strikes that kills the beast; more notably, apart from honor and the bejewelled Belt at stake, this fight will rewrite history …. should and when Pacquiao cut Cotto’s firepower, he’ll be the first  boxer with 7 championship belts wrapped around his waist … that is history to last.

Whereas for Cotto, this is a fight for honor and prove he still have that firepower and the stinging left hook to the body to down anyone who stands across his path.

Power and Lightning … boxers fighting for history and honor.  That’s a bout to watch!

With Pacquiao declaring this fight as ”the most important fight in my career”, that would scratch the butt above the seat and chill those beers and keep the peanuts at hand … and yes,  that remote to safety.

Carjacked by a Piece of Paper!

Carjackers do update their schemes … here’s ONE FROM THE WEB.  Who knows this could save our day …

“Warning..!!!! Warning..!!!! Warning..!!!!

FROM RCMP’ THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE– NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)’

Heads up everyone! Please, keep this circulating…

You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into Reverse. When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift into Park, unlock your doors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car, that is when the carjackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car. And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse/handbag is still in the car. So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised!

BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.

If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away. Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to women. A purse/handbag contains all kinds of personal information and identification documents, and you certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.”

(Though this has been found to be a hoax … I guess it’s still worth a note …. some adventurous minds could try this …. I wouldn’t want to be the first victim of this scheme)

Ang Taba sa Habhab

Ala maestro sa isang “symphony orchestra” ang mamang naglalako ng pansit-hab-hab sa harap ng Mataas na Paaralan sa aming bayan.

Sakay sa bisikletang kung tawagi’y mercedes benz na may kakabit na mala-aparador na patungan at painitian ng isang-dipang-bilog na lagayan ng lakong pansit-hab-hab.

Namumula sa galit ang sukang sasa na binabaran ng isang dakot na siling labuyo. Paikot-ikot …. pasundot-sundot …. padutdot-dutdot … pabalik-balik na animoy nakikipaglaro ng eskrima ang maestrong mama sa pagsandok at paghalo sa ibabaw ng lakong pansit-hab-hab.

Walang humpay ang maestro habang ako nama’y wala ring puknat sa pagkakatitig sa kapirasong taba ng nagniningning sa balot ng mantika na wari baga’y pusakal na gwardiyado ng matitikas na ilang hiwa ng repolyo sa gitna ng dagat ng hibla ng pansit hab-hab.

Maindayog ang pagsandok ng maestro sa saliw ng hindi-maulinigang musika na tanging ilong lamang niya ang nakakarinig. Sa sipol at indayog ng ulo lamang niya ito mababatid. Wala pa ring humpay ang pagsandok sa pansit hab-hab na lalong nagpapaigting sa impit na pagnanasa sa kapirasong hiwa ng taba. Imbi ang panalangin na nawa’y masundot at makalit ng halos nakatagong tinidor na gamit sa pansandok. Ipit ang laway sa ga-bola ng ping-pong na paglunok. Walang paki ang maestrong mama at tuloy sa pagsandok.

Anupa’t kagyat na hihinto na wari bagay natapos na ang tugtog at gaya ng kurtina sa entablado, maingat na ilalatag ang nasandok na pansit-hab-hab sa kapurat na putol ng berdeng dahon ng saging na tangan naman ng maestrong mama sa kaliwa niyang kamay na may bakas pa ng puyat at pagod sa umagang pag-arenderiya sa nilutong pansit hab-hab.

Mata’y naghahalungkat sa pansit hab-hab na nasandok … ngunit wala sa nasandok … naiwan sa gitna ng ilang gayat ng repolyo at karamihan ng pansit hab-hab. Sadyang mailap ang kapirasong hiwa ng taba. Hindi nasiklot, ni hindi natinag sa haba ng kumpas ng maestro.

Sinapo ko ang dahong apaw sa pansit hab-hab … tangan sa kaliwa, inabot ang long-neck na botelya ng sukang sasa na babad sa siling labuyo …. sa pagkabigo, pinaliguan ang naunsyaming patikim sa kapirasong hiwa ng taba sa pansit-hab-hab ng maestrong mama.

Ano pa! Ang tanging nasambit … sa susunod, humanda ka kapirasong hiwa ng taba … Kagyat … pasipsip … mual sa paghab-hab ng pansit-hab-hab … may kagat ang anghang, may ngiti sa bawat hab-hab, may usal na sanay nakalit ang taba … may pag-asa sa sunod na pagkumpas … humalakhak ang lupa sa tikim ng sukang sasang babad sa siling labuyo na may bahid ng pansit-hab-hab na lako ng maestrong mama. (di pa man tapos sa paghab-hab… antimano … lisaw ang mata sa maestrong mama na may tulak ng nakakangilong-ngipin sa lamig ng natatanging pineapple palamig ….)
