I am a big fan of these two great boxers, Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton. I have nothing but great admiration for Ricky Hatton, even before he fought Manny Pacquiao. I have seen him in his best fights and he's an awesome boxer. Last night, May 2, 2009, the much awaited boxing fight was held at the MGM Grand Las Vegas at Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. Watch the video below.
Video: Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton Boxing Fight (May 2, 2009)
I will always be a fan of Ricky Hatton even though a handful of his excited fans booed our Philippine anthem. I know that those disrespectful fans didn't represent an entire people. Ricky Hatton is an awesome fighter, as well as boxing's pound-for-pound champion, Manny Pacquiao. They just didn't match well. Obviously Pacquiao emerge superior and Ricky Hatton was unable to hold for very long . I wish the other fans of Ricky Hatton will stop being sour losers. Ricky Hatton was more gracious in defeat than his bitter fans. It's only a boxing fight. We all know that Ricky Hatton is a very good fighter. It's just that, unless it's a draw, only one will be declared winner.
Life's Journey says, "Mabuhay Ka Manny Pacquiao!" and for Ricky Hatton, "you will always be remembered as one of the great boxing fighters"
Well, what else can I say? I am a huge fan of both, Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton.
I was watching online videos and got so surprised about this Britain’s Got Talent contestant named Susan Boyle singing ‘I Dream A Dream’ from Les Miserables. She remind me of that an unassuming mobile phone salesman named Paul Potts who also wowed judges and audience alike in 2007.
There are really a lot of talented people out there, who just don't have the right opportunity to showcase their talent and be discovered.
Watch her amazing performance below and see why judge Piers Morgan said; her "stunning" performance was "the biggest surprise I've had in three years of this show". Play the video.
I am hoping you all are having a great Easter celebration and joy with your love ones and friends. Keep the faith burning!
Since its April Fool's Day, I thought of sharing some quotations about foolishness and fools. These are what famous intellectuals had to say.
According to Plato, a classical Greek philosopher and famous Mathematician,
"Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something."
If you still recall, Plato is a student of Socrates, one of the founders of Western philosophy. Plato is also the mentor of Aristotle, another popular philosopher and great ancient Mathematician who said,
"There is a foolish corner in the brain of the wisest man."
One of the founding fathers of the United States of America, the popular author, activist, statesman, diplomat and scientist, Benjamin Franklin said,
"Wise men don't need advise, fools don't take it."
And if you think you're wise enough, Don't be too confident because you may be wrong. Here's an African Proverb for you.
"A wise man never knows all, only fools know everything."
So you still think you know everything? 
William Shakespear, an English poet and playwright who is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's preeminent dramatist said,
"A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool." 
Enjoy your day. If you wish to pull some silly pranks to your friends and love ones, remember what Abraham Lincoln said,
"You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."
Don't let your humor leave a sour taste this April Fool's Day.

I got me books to read. I ordered two of these books at Amazon.com last month but for some reason, I believed the first package got lost. I had a tracking number and it showed where the book was but after certain date, it has no updates. I had to call Amazon after so many weeks of waiting, and they sent me another package. It was odd because I normally order stuffs from them. I never had problems with them until this order. Anyways, it's all settled and I'm still ordering stuffs from them ☺. I got Bill O'reilly's A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity for my husband. He's not really into reading but he likes to read books by Bill O'reilly.
I am currently working on my US Citizenship application, so I bought the book Becoming a U.S Citizen by NOLO to get more information in filling up the application forms and about the other important details. When I was working on my K-1 Visa or Fiance' Visa, the 2nd edition of Fiance' & Marriage Visas book by NOLO has helped us a lot. I ordered the book from the official website of Nolo and was able to save some bucks. Searching for coupons online has been part of my online shopping. Before I buy something, I usually use the search engine to search for coupons for that specific product that I'm wanting to buy. It saves me money every time. There are times when you can't find coupons for a specific product, especially when there's no promotions at that time but believe me, there are bunch of online coupons you can use for more savings. You'd be surprise.
Anyways, one day when we were doing our grocery shopping, I got the book Learning Express' English To The Max (1200 Questions to Maximize Your English Power) from Sam's Club. English is not my first language and I was really not into our English classes, until maybe around 3rd year college. It was a shame because I remember our class always having the best English teachers. You can't just blame the teachers you know? Especially when students don't have much interest about the subject. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the subject. It was just boring for me (that time). I am more into Math. Today, I am into anything and everything. Self-improvement is never too late.
What's The Love Dare? I have not started reading it but I have an idea what the book is about. Last January, we were watching the movie Fireproof. Have you seen it? If you haven't yet, watch it. It's a great movie to watch. Watch it with your special someone, whether you are married, in a relationship or single. The movie Fireproof has a very strong message and tackles important issues not only about marriage but about relationships in general. The story of Fireproof gives so many lessons. It has become one of my few favorite movies of all time. It was in the movie when I learned about The Love Dare. It will rekindle or remind yourself about your commitment. Will you be able to withstand problems when it come to your relationships? Sometimes after so many years in a relationship, two people who use to be so in love with each other drift apart. Will you be able to hang on with your promises and demonstrate your love over and over again to a person that's no longer receptive to your love? Will you remain strong? Are you committed enough to withstand everything? The movie tag say, "Never Leave Your Partner Behind". And I say, "Amen".
That's all for today. I hope you all have a nice day.
I heard this song on American Idol last week when Carrie Underwood guested and sung this song with Randy Travis. I fell in love with it this song. Carrie Underwood version is simply beautiful. This song kinda make me sad but I love listening to it. It has a beautiful melody and the message is kinda piercing my heart. Aw! I wont be the one singing though, I'd be the one that says "I told you so........" except that I have not found somebody new. Play the video below to hear the song.
I Told You So
(Carrie Underwood)
Suppose I called you up tonight and told you that I loved you
And suppose I said "I wanna come back home".
And suppose I cried and said "I think I finally learned my lesson"
And I'm tired a-spendin' all my time alone.
If I told you that I realised you're all I ever wanted
And it's killin' me to be so far away.
Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together?
Or would you simply laugh at me and say:
"I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".
If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours to and take my hand?
Would we get that old time feelin', would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began?
Would you tell me that you'd missed me too and that you'd been so lonely
And you waited for the day that I return.
And we'd live in love forever and that I'm your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned?
Would you say:
"I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you have to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".
"Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".
I was watching the first performance night of American Idol Season 8 Top 13 lastnight. My favorite performance lastnight was that of
Adam Lambert. It was Michael Jackson's week and he sung the song entitled Black And White with an enormous stage presence and voice. Actually, I think the American Idol judges done a really good job in the selection process and I think all the Top 13 contestants are really good. My most favorite this year is Danny Gokey but I also like Adam Lambert and he just blew me away lastnight. Check out his performace lastnight. Watch the video below.

Isn't he just awesome?
Have you changed your clock time yet? Lastnight we're supposed to set our time (again), one hour forward. I think my husband took cared of it already.
Well, I'm excited for the coming of Spring season. I missed the beautiful flowers in my garden. The tulips and daffodils, along with the colorful pansies are blooming good but the garden still looks lonely. I'm used to the changing of the season. I guess i'm just being so anxious and wondering if the Perennial flowers that we planted last year will come back again this spring.
Anyways, I'm just posting to remind you about the Spring forward time. Have a great day!
I didn't do much this weekend. I just painted some gnomes and garden statues, cleaned the garden a little bit and trimmed some plants. I got motivated in re-painting some of them because all of the tulips we planted last fall, are blooming. I created a couple more jewelry beads and have them ready for sale too. Other than that, it's all a Supernatural weekend. I spent most of my time in bed watching all of Dad's most recent recorded episodes of my favorite series. I watched eight episodes.
I like these two brothers, (I got a crush on them...shhhh!), Dean and Sam Winchester (played by Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki). These brothers are always on the road fighting creatures from horror stories and urban legends. It's entertaining and I love every episode's wicked sense of humour. How I love Supernatural.
