I was too tired last week, working the night shift and trying to squeeze in an HR consultancy job that I have to do in the morning plus the household chores that I have to do to keep the house neat as much as possible. Doing household chores makes me miss home. Living on your own can be really tough... I have to maintain the house, cook our food, wash the dishes, clean the bathroom, fix my room and all those stuff. I don't even iron my own clothes cause I don't know how.
Another challenge that might kick in by the end of the month, with the start up company that we are building. Me, Butch, Gerie and Matt are trying to start up a small head hunting company with HR consulting on the side. We are going to name the company as Buscamos & Consulting. Buscamos coming from the Spanish term we search. This will definitely be another hurdle for me to overcome. They made me the owner of the company as well as the front person since Matt & Butch might have impediments if they will be the one presenting for the company and they say that I have the time in the morning. I just wish I can sleep well.
To be added on the list is my thesis writing... It is only two weeks before classes start and I haven't decided whether I am determined to change my topic or not. At least I am more inclined to the new topic that I have chosen. I also have the materials to help me build my thesis proposal, especially with the framework. God will only know when shall I start it up. However, I have to take a break from work due to my tonsillectomy... Perfect Perfect Perfect.... no more time for me.... Let's see what will happen in the next few weeks.

The Day Manila Stood Still
Yesterday was the day that Manila stood still. It was Sunday, 3rd of May 2009. Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao was scheduled to face Ricky "Hitman" Hatton. Everytime there is a Pacquiao fight for sure Manila or the whole Philippines will be quiet and yesterday was nothing different. As early as 6 AM, our TV was already opened. I was watching the HBO 24/7 documentary of the two fighters and my gosh, Floyd Mayweather Sr. was so arrogant and boastful... referring to Pacquiao as a mule!!! At least the documentary showed a different Pacquiao, unlike the one made for his fight against Dela Hoya. The show highlighted the deep faith of Pacman. The show ended by around 8 AM. Then, the weigh in ceremonies was aired and we switched our channels to GMA 7.
While waiting for the fight, I decided to cooked lunch for me and Christian. We had grilled pork for lunch. I finished cooking and the main fight hasn't even started. It was the undercard who were still fighting in the ring. We ate lunch, I washed the dishes already, cleaned up. I even took a bath already but the fight hasn't started!!! I was all commercial ads. Christian made fun of Manny's Vitwater commercial. Vit/WAaah/tir ... and then the nonsense sealant commercial with the girl getting wet... We just don't get it... The commercial went on and on and on. When the fight began with the singing of the national anthems of each country... I feel ashamed on how Martin Nievera sang our Lupang Hinirang... He should be hang for that... I bet Julian Felipe is fuming under his grave! It was purely bastardized. Lea Salonga should have sung it instead. The commercials after that made me shake off the shock I have after hearing Mr. Nievera.
The commercials were just frustrating before round 1 begins, we already knew that Pacman won by knock out in round 2. People were texting Christian. Apparently, they watched the game thru pay-per-view. I hate GMA 7 for killing the suspense due to the dozens even hundred of commercials.... They even have to repeat the rounds!!! Grrrrrr.... But then, the fight was sweet... As if it was all scripted, Pacman left hand just flew right on Hatton's chin and boom... he was laying right in the center of the ring! Simply perfect! Funny thing was his coach was nowhere near him after he fell.
It was really a day that Manila stood still.. It was a day that Hatton's world stood still... lol... I just wished that the commercials stood still as well.
