Easy does it

Pride of the Philippines Manny Paquiao recorded TKO on the sixth round earlier (Saturday night, LA time). I was waching the fight and it was exciting although the news that he had won was broadcast by ANC prior to seeing the bout. Solar Sports aired it on delayed basis hence the news of "Pacman's" win had been announced already. I'm no boxing fan. I don' like the sport but it's cool when one of your own brings pride to the country

Btw, There were so many commercials of the broadcast that it was soo annoying!

Well, doggone me!

I'll be damned! A stuffed dog webcam!

New design to put something different on top of your PC/notebook. The Look 312P is in the shape of a stuffed animal but has all the features you normally find in a web cam. We put the web camera in the nose because we believe that “high technology” should be more than just a product. You still get the same results.

Arf arf!! Talk about voyerism! Yikes.

And to quote gizmodo... "pay no attention to the vast collection of plush stuffed dogs scattered around my apartment." He he.

No wonder I don't like dogs oh and stuffed toys. Ha ha ha. Btw, now you know why it's called stuffed toys! Nyahahaha.

Hooray For Andre

This good news from AP via yahoo.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Andre Agassi bounded onto the court with the joyful grin of a child, his eyes wide as he soaked in the adoring cheers of the U.S. Open crowd.

At 35, he is ageless, his tennis a timeless classic.

When the match finally ended at 1:09 Thursday morning, Arthur Ashe Stadium was still full and fans at home were mesmerized, knowing they'd been treated to something rare.

Andre Agassi won his match against James Blake at the US open. He still has the magic and just the sheer energy to come up with unbelievable shots and like everyone was cheering for him. Classic Andre. Vintage moves. Man, I hope he wins the open.

Cheese for President!

Cheese is the name politics is his game. Seeking the truth is his mission and people are supporting that vision! Ha ha. I'm soooooo "cheese..y." Hehe. What a speech, what a mind! Aye!

Eloquence of his speech last nigh at the congress just emphasized how smart he is. I'm talking about, Minority Floor Leader Francis "cheese" Escudero. He spoke with candor and passion and the truth about impeachment and the consequence for everyone involved. His speech done in Tagalog and English was just so stately, dignified. Firm yet ably understood in explaining to everyone, to the majority members of the house, why there's an impeachment. Why the need for it to proceed. Uhmm, cos Arroyo cheated.. that's why. But Minority failed to gather 79 signatures for the impeachment to proceed.

And as I blog right now, congress still in session this wee hours of the morning interpellating (?) Justice Committee report.

Most Powerful Richest Country Suffering

Just to see those images on the net, tv, different photo blogs of what's actually happening in New Orleans. Looting, rape, fire, explsions, lawlessness. Man, it's a terrible tragedy and just imagine it's in the US not Sri Lanka nor any other 3rd world country hit by tsunamis last year. And also, the Americans are now being called "refugees." right in their very own backyard.

They've been concerned with other nations but looks at the US now reduced to anarchy. Well, just in one state. NOT the whole country.

And with this horrible natural disaster, a lot of other major news in the world has been left back pages of the paper and broadcast. Iraq..well, not in the headlines anymore.

People have no mercy..esp..looters!

Americans are experiencing their own kind of tsunami and it's disheartening to see the distraught faces of people affected by the hurricane. But what's sickening is to see some jack ass people taking advantage of others miseries and tragedies by looting and stealing other peoples belongings.

Right now New Orleans is a city gripped by chaos as looters ran wild, food and water supplies dwindled, and bodies floated in the flood waters.

Looters brazenly ripped open gates and ransacked stores for food, clothing, television sets, computers, jewelry and guns, often in full view of helpless law-enforcement officials. Dozens of carjackings, apparently by survivors desperate to escape, were reported, as were a number of shootings.

People are mad, people have nowhere to go, the streets flooded, no electricity,some lay dead on the streets... inside the hotels, underneath collapsed house. It's chaos.. and Those looters have no fucking mercy at all. How sad the situation is.
