Beatin' the Heat

Hey guys. Lately I've been lacking in sleep. As many as you know, I'm kinda suffering from insomnia. I only get like 3-5 hours of sleep everyday except weekend. Since I got all the time in the world over the weekend, I make sure that I get enough sleep to make up for the loss. But I am not here to talk about my sleepless days.

 Since I'm a girl. Ah. Yes, I think I am one. Haha! Not many know what I am into boys stuff, like shoes, games, what else? Comic book and sports too. One of my all time favorites is basketball. And talk about it, I remember back when I was in college (Damn. Did I really have to sound that old? Haha!) (it's just a couple of year back actually) I got really, really into basketball that, there ain't a day passing by that I do not watch it. And I use to gamble some bets with my friends for call and text phone cards or like money, it depends on what I don't have tho. Haha! Yes, yes. NBA was a really nice source of income too. My favorite team back then was the Detroit Pistons.

 Rasheed Wallace, Richard "Rip"  Hamilton, Ben "Big Ben" Wallace, Chauncey Billups, Tayshaun Prince and the unknown by me coach. Haha! But he sure lead the whole team to win this 2K03-04 Champ Cup

And damn they were one sick team I tell you! I don't know much about basketball tho but it sure is fun to watch. I personally liked the players themselves. Each player has this really amazing tight game, its like; they are playing for themselves but united, you get me? Okay, good. Less explaining to do. Haha! I don't know what's up with Kobe, Wade and James are up to back then but for me, they suck. Haha! Just kidding guys.

For sure, ya'll know what happened today in NBA history right? The Heat was really hoping for their 28 straight win but the Bulls got in the way. Like I was saying, I'm not much of a baller but reading history fact helps me a lot. I just learned that Lakers made an awesome 33 wins in a steak back in 1971-72 and I think that Heat was hoping but nooo.. Bulls said that they are too early to be a part of the hall of fame. Hahaha!

Tho, I didn't get to see the game ('coz I was watching the Wiz and Okc) I'm sure it was pretty epic. I actually learned the lost in facebook. When one of my colleague's son posted something like "Cry now Miami fans". After reading, others started posting too.

It was juts funny tho. The picture I mean. Heat's a pretty strong team but I never thought that they'd be "easily" beaten down by the Bulls, knowing that they played without their power house players, like Joakim Noah, Richard Hamilton and Marco Belinelli. And as we all know; Bulls' star guard, Derek Rose has yet to play since he's still in the process of recovering from his knee injury.

Damn. Now, I can't wait for the play offs. I hope DRose's back by then. And of course I want to see how mean these guys play in the hard court. Survivor of the fittest.  I won't be rooting for any teams until I see the quarter finals. Haha! This is really exciting!

What's your bet guys? Will Miami Heat still be this year's Champ? Or there'll be a new one. Hmmm... This really thrills me to the core. Haha!

Thank for swingin' by again!

Laters, baby! ^^

Oh? Rawr!!

Hey guys! Yes, yes, I am so sorry, I've been m.i.a'ing again. Haha! So how are you? I'm kinda stressed out and worried about my so far away Gram. Her daughter said that she was rushed in the hospital again. Sigh. Sometime it's just hard not to worry about old people, when they still think that their youth pars with kids these days. Geez.. So anyway, I'm not here to talk about my personal dramas. I'm here to share about my weekend heart break. Haha! Seriously, I was broken hearted over the weekend.

I may not look that sporty at all but I do love sports. For all you know I've played basketball, tennis, badminton, soccer and what so ever one way or another. There's this new sport that's really booming and it kinda drive people really crazy 'cause of the thrill the get. I'm pretty sure you know MMA or Mix Martial Arts.

I'm pretty sure ya'll know about what MMA is. I really like the MMA thrill, it's the best of all the martial arts world, it's a full on hand to hand combat sport where in you can use any kind of technique to kick your opponent's ass down. Actually, MMA's starting to get big here in the Philippines but I think it's still kinda indie underground sport like. I don't really know much fighters here too. And I'm not much of a fan too, the fight's cool but when the blood starts dripping that's when I skedaddle. I don't like blood! It scares the crap in me. Hemophobia? Well, not to the extent tho. I just don't like seeing people covered in blood. Eww. Totally disgusting! So anyway, tho I'm not much of a MMA fa, I just like the fighter named Mark Muñoz.

Oh c'mon now! Doesn't he looks so heavenly?! Haha! Yeah, he's my favorite MMA fighter. He too is a Filipino but he grew up in the States. Like I said, he's Mark Muñoz or better knows as "The Filipino Wrecking Machine" now, that's a badass name right there! He was here in the Philippines last weekend for the UFC tour but I wasn't able to see him. So I was pretty broken hearted.

 Yes,  I supported him because he's a brother from another mother. I also like his passion for the Philippines, tho he grew up in a different country, he still chose to give pride to a place where he's not very familiar.

So yeah last weekend, I wasn't able to see him in person that made me real sad. Honestly, I've only seen him fight in documentaries so I was really excited to know that he's coming by there but yeah sad to say I didn't win passes to see him. BUT! Yes, the amazing but; there are rumors that he'll be figthing here for the Pinoy fans to see him. I would really want him to see fight. I'm going to look forward for that.

Hmmm... Seeing all this makes me feel like hitting the gym for some hand to hand muay thai combat. Haha! Uraaaaa!!! (sounds weird? eh?! that's how anime fight scene would sound.)

 

I did some shopping over the weekend too, to move on from the heartache. Haha! I've write something about my weekend shopping pretty soon. What about you guys, what happened over your weekend? I hope you too had a nice weekend.

 

I'm out. Forever, THANK YOU! :)

The Return of the Come Back

Hey guys! Long time, no talk? Do you still know who I am? Well, for those of you who still remember; thank you! Haha! And for those to don't, it's me, Denise. :) I'm one of the hundreds of thousands of millions and billions or rather gazillion who enjoys random things. So, remember now? Good. haha!

Yes, yes. I know, I know. I've been out way too long. Sigh. How do I explain myself? Well, first I must say that a lot really happened in my life during the times that I was out of the cyber scene, so that's why I couldn't update you. It felt like I was kind of sick tho. Of course, I have to fake things so that not much people would worry about me. I feel really troubled if people were to worry about my own drama so, as much as possible I really try to hide it. But these past few day, I think, things are starting becoming quite "normal" again.

Okay, like I was saying about sickness again. Somehow it was kind of like that but it doesn't at the same time. Confusing right? I know. I too was caught up in this terrible dilemma. The feeling was really horrible, like that song "killing me softly" wow, shot right in the heart.

Alright, enough of the negativity stuff there. Since this is my very first entry for the year 2013 please allow me to greet you a happy happy new year tho it seems super late. :) So, what were your new year's resolution? What are you hoping for this year?What's new to you? Me? I just what to live a happy life or like a life with no regrets in base of my personality. Haha! Sounds rather really difficult with all the things that are going on with my life. But I will really do my very best to do it so. And I got dental braces too.

DUDE! THEY ARE SUCH A PAIN! Whoo! I got these last December 29, 2012. Did I get it for fashion or for trends? 'Cause it's kinda a hit for yappies like me tho. BUT AS IF.. I got these 'cause the dentist said so and that my teeth are so out forward 'cause of the baby me thumb sucking before. So this is the punishment? Haa... Just whatever. It's so hard to eat with them on, not like before you can just chow down whatever I  feel like. But now, it's different. I'm bound to eat only like soft ones so that my brackets won't fall off. And I'll be doing this for nearly 2 years? Good Lord!

And there's another thing that I want to do, living let's say the healthy way. Like getting more exercise and eat right, don't mind about the sleeping habits 'cause that already that thanks to my insomnia. Oh? Haha! I just remembered something, I told this to one of my good buddies and she was like "dude, how could you betray, Jack Daniel? What about Johnny Walker?" And I was like? Okay. Haha! Maybe I will still party but not like before. I'm not getting younger as each day pass so I will do it the Usher way, nice and slow. haha!

Haha! Okay, I would take much of your time guys. But it sure does feel good to be back again. :) I will post more of whatevers that caught my attention. I have lots and lots of stories to share. So please, stay tuned. Haha!

Once more, THANK YOU GUYS. :D

3rd World Champion

Are you ready to rumble?!

Yeah! That's how Michael Buffer puts it away. It's so cool when he opens for the main fight. Truth is, I'm not very keen with sports; as long as I know what is right and wrong, win or lose I'm totally good with it. Never was I the athlete type of person but I did try a lot of stuff like, badminton (I'm kinda good there but I'd still improve for sure), soccer (it's a tiring sport; I'm not very sure if I can keep up with the training tho), tennis (Oh! This is one of the best that I've tried so far), basketball (well, I can dribble but can't shoot well, practice tho) and volleyball (OMG! I so own this sport! Haha!)

So over the weekend (don't I just love weekend stories?), my dad was watching TV, boxing. Boxing is very big nowadays, specially if the fighters are so well known. So yes, the fight was between Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire (one handsome dude, if I must say. Haha!) from Talibon, Bohol, Philippines and Toshiaki "Speed King" Nishioka who's from Kakogawa, Hyogo, Japan.

Nonito Donaire and Toshiaki Nishioka

It sure was one bad ass fight tho. They are kinda' head to head tho. According to the data when it comes to height and reach, Nishioka can definitely dominate the fight. But NO. Haha! Filipinos are known to be short but this Nonito's one short but troublesome dude. I'm trying to be fair as much as I can here, honestly. I was never rooting for anybody, I just watch. This fight is so different form my point of understanding. Neither of them underestimated their opponents rather, they encouraged one other to have a good fight.

I enjoyed it, really. First few rounds, it was kind of boring 'cause they were very observant of each other but as the fight gets heated, Nishioka opens a little but gets back thrice as hard. Nonito moves a little, show what he's made of and goes for a point. The fight was kinda flashy, they are both known for speed but it all went down to whom has the most power.

Nishioka first fell down on the 6th round, but I wasn't very attentive while watching 'cause it was not my thing to watch boxing in the first place but he got back by hurting Nonito in the face (I think?).  Just like I mentioned earlier as the fight gets heated they started to throw hard punches. And 9th round comes, YES! The super round, Nishioka was knocked down with a straight punch. I think, the reason for his defeat was his consciousness of Nonito's uppercut. Surely, everyone getting hit by it would definitely go down.

  

Nishioka tried hard to continue the fight but the Ref called its TKO. I have to give it to them for putting an awesome, awesome show for the fans. Tho Nishioka lost, he was one tough fighter.

The Philippines is not much of a rich country but I'm pretty confident of what we can do for us to be successful in one thing. I'm proud to be a Pinoy no matter what, good or bad just whatever.

Thank you for reading. :)

It's more fun in the Philippines!

MABUHAY ANG LAHING PILIPINO, MABUHAY ANG BANSANG PILIPINAS!
(LONG LIVE THE FILIPINOS, LONG LIVE THE PHILIPPINES!)
