"Honorable Prisoner" by me and my english...
When I was a juvenile
My freedom was hastily cut short without reason
They confined me into a cell
With bars of responsibility
Concrete walls of hardened discipline
Shackled to my duties as an honorable prisoner
I broke out with the tools of revolt
As if they were righteous
As if they possessed infinite wisdom
Only I hold true knowledge
Or so I thought
I have served my time twenty-one...
Birthday ko ngayon!
:D
Are you getting any wiser? Or are you just aging?

My Opinion on MMA
Random guy on Pacland forum: People that don't like MMA don't like it because they are not a true Fight Fans but just boxing fans. Lots of people don't like "two guys hugging on the ground" because most don't know anything about the ground game. The ground game is some technical *** ****, and is very very methodical. Anyways to answer the question, MMA is harder in terms of the variability and the many disciplines that you have to be well rounded at as opposed to boxing which is just one discipline only. What makes boxing tougher is probably mostly just the fact that they have to train to fight for 12 rounds, which is a lot more than in MMA. Hope that answers your question.
Me: The thing about that is that it's so hard to see those technical methods of the ground game. You'd have to be watching MMA for a long time to be able to spot those kinds of things. That's why a lot of people do see it as "two guys hugging on the ground." You can't really blame them for making that generalization. Whereas in boxing, anybody—regardless of how much they've been watching boxing, can easily see the artistry and technicality of a fight. It's more difficult to see and identify those avenues in MMA.
My Personal Prediction for the Pacquiao Cotto bout...
Yes, I’m a huge fan of Manny and duh, it’s because I’m Filipino and I am truly proud that we have a fighter who just happens to be THE #1 P4P boxer in the world. I am merely trying to keep my predictions unbiased and completely objective.
So at first, I gave it slighty to Cotto, simply because he’s a welterweight, still in his prime, with tremendous power and...
Dude, I can't sleep!

I'm guilty of this too. (At times, it can be a...
It’s interesting how we’re never satisfied. Regardless of how much we have in life, whether it’s the tangible or non tangible things, we’re just never quite satisfied and we always seem to feel the need for more. I guess it’s just another human fallacy that works under our ego, our “self-righteous,” subconscious cognition. There are times I’ll have...
Maybe I'll dress it up a little bit with these.
