Out of the Box
Tonight is the most awaited boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Oscar Dela Hoya. A lot of boxing aficionados will be watching this match. My dad will most likely be glued to the TV for this match. I’m not a big boxing fan but I do like the Golden Boy but as a filipino, I’m rooting for Pacman. I hope he wins this fight although I’m quite surprised he agreed to this considering the big difference in height and weight. Oh well, I just hope Manny will bag this one too.
Update: Manny wins! Weee!

… you think hot showers and air conditioners are considered luxury and not necessity
… you call air conditioners - aircon, digital cameras - digicam and refrigerators - ref
* This is my personal list that I still do even after moving out of the country. I guess I’m just a true blue filipino.
