Proud to be a Filipino

I'm back again. It's a Sunday. It's a great day to relax after a tiring week. My sister woke me up early this morning for the reason that we supposedly be going to San Andres Bukid, Manila to see Ate Gina there who has just arrived from New Zealand yesterday. I decided not to go for some personal reasons and one of them I should say is that I have to wash my clothes so that I would lessen the things that I have to do like to review my notes for the quizzes this coming week. I should say I wasted half of my day in doing non sense things but I did get away from procrastinating after I've eaten my lunch.

I turned on the computer and launched the TVR at around 2:30pm in our clock to watch the long-time awaited third match of Pacquiao and Morales. I wasn't that much excited to see the match although i really am interested to see it because I already received a spoiler from my classmate that Pacquiao's going to win by a knock-out on the fifth round. I still want to experience the feeling of solidarity as a Filipino takes home pride and honor to his homeland. I wasn't able to catch the beginning of the main event when Sarah Geronimo sang the Philippine national anthem and it's a bit disappointing but I immediately thought that it can be downloaded in you tube anyways. While watching the match, I really am proud of how Pacquiao threw his blows on to Morales because it indeed is highly destructive to his opponent. Truly it was, because right in the second round, Morales was knocked down due to the strong blow of Pacquiao close to his ear which the commentator said is very damaging because it has something to do with the balance. In the earlier part of the third round, Morales was again down on his butt, one more then he would be out of the limelight of his career. Destiny has been good for Pacquiao for he has taken all the energy in the third round. Right before the round ended, Morales was down for the third and the last time. I then realized that the spoiler was wrong because it wasn't on the fifth but on the third round. It was really sad to Morales' part but he has to accept that he has finally reached the turning point of his career in boxing. To Pacquiao, good job! Filipinos are truly proud of you. Mabuhay ang Pilipino!!!

Another thing that I was anticipating this night was the performance night of The Philippine Idol. It was a good timing because the show has just started when I scanned the channel to 5. I didn't know who the guest judge was going to be. I was surprised to see that it was Lea Salonga. I've already read from the forums of peyups that the idols are soon be doing some sort of a theatrical performance and it was during this night. Lea is the best guest judge for this theme of the performance night of course because of her experiences as Miss Saigon. This night, the idols were good although it didn't worked for Miguel, I should say. Lea is really good in judging though she said that she has never done that before. She said everything that she saw in the performance of the idols and she didn't care about how the fans would react. I really am amazed in Lea's judging because she is that good and I hope that she'll be given the chance to be back there again. Tomorrow, Lea will be doing a number and I'm looking forward to it. If I would be asked, my choices of idols to be included in the final three are Mau, Gian and Pow. I should say, this night, Mau did nail her performance.

Oh well, right now, I'm watching Pinoy meets World. It's late again. Be back next time..
