Money Pakyaw

Manny Pacquiao won yesterday! He deserved to win but Larios fought well. It was really a good fight.

I went home last Saturday and coincidentally, there was a despedida party over at Ate Auring's. I went there of course, and sang through videoke. I just love singing even if my voice sounded like a cat. Some of my cousins went there, too and we planned our next Saturday. My cousin Myra will be coming here from the states and we want to bond with her and her sister Jackie. I think we will go to Tagaytay for a picnic. It would have been a fun time for us but my cousins had other better things to do. They just wanted to stay at home instead of spending time with us.

Yesterday, I spent my day watching the Mano-a-Mano with Raymond, Kristel, Chap, Ardee, Clement, and Mary Rose. I admire the Mexicans when it comes to boxing.

Ate Maritess and her family will be leaving tomorrow and with that, I just want to say thank you to them for the fun time they'd given us.

Anyway, my days were spent thinking, as always, and I observe some things...

• What's with the rich people? They're given a lot. They can do a lot of things but they're wasting those blessings. They are not using them to help those in need.
• And what's with people? They cannot be happy unless they become rich. I think that even if you don't have much materially, but you have peace of mind, and you are happy with what you have and you make the most out of what is given to you, then you are the most blessed person in this world.
• It's really proven...I am born to think differently. But acting differently (according to what I'm thinking) is another. I am open to ideas.
• People should not think that I am wasting my talents just because I am stuck here in the Philippines. I can accept things and I can make the most of what I have.
• I also admit that I still don't know what i really want to do with my life and so I go on trying things to see if it will work for me. I can say that the journey is worth it. I am becoming happier in the process. They say that interesting people are those who don't know what they want in life and so they go on trying to figure out everything. Maybe, I am interesting. I like myself so I guess that makes me interesting.

Korina Sanchez' words stuck with me when she was interviewed at The Buzz yesterday. She said that no matter what people say what and who you are, you shouldn't really believe them. You should have a great knowledge of who you are. You should know who you really are. You shouldn't be persuaded to what others say you are. It's a blessing that I was able to hear her say that. I needed those words to realize something about what that one "concern" person told me. I am still the winner after all.
