something's wrong...

i'm not sure if it's the code or it's the pc. i can't see the slideshow that i just created. the one for the pacquiao-hatton fight. i was seeing it earlier when i published it. i'm not seeing it now. i tried to copy the code again, but i don't see anything still. i tried going back to my older posts. all slideshows are working just fine. it's just this slideshow that is not coming up. the only thing i see is a blank white box at the bottom of my entry. later, when my mom goes online, i'll ask her to look at my blog and tell me if she sees the slideshow.

my new toy...soon to be delivered...

i forgot. my mom sent me a text message this morning, manila time. she said she just bought the olympus camera for me. it's pink and the camera case is red. just what i requested. yipee! now, i just have to wait for it until it's delivered. i'm so excited about it..

pacquiao vs. hatton

it's my first time to see pacquiao's fight on pay per view. last december 7, peepee was able to see it also in danny's grill. i didn't go with them because it was gerald and bheng's wedding and i was one of the bridesmaids. i had to prepare for the wedding at that time.

this morning, peepee and i saw pacquiao's fight at danny's grill. we got a reservation courtesy of kuya alvin and his friend jay. other than kuya alvin, we were with their dad, ryan, earl and macoy. we left the house at around 9:30. kuya alvin went ahead of us and we met earl and macoy at the bar. ryan was a latecomer, but good thing he got there in the middle of the last undercard bout. reservations per person costs Php450. it includes 3 beer bottles and a plate of peanuts. while the people were waiting for the main event, some people kept busy chatting with each other. some were busy taking pictures. at times, some people would react if someone got hit (most of the reactions came from men, especially during the last undercard fight, when soto was hit below the belt). after the last undercard fight, when it showed on the projection screen that pacquiao's fight was coming up, almost everyone suddenly became alive. those who used to be busy suddenly payed attention to what the commentator said. i could hear nothing but screams everytime pacquiao's face was flashed on the screen. when hatton's face was shown, everyone was booing him.

then came martin nievera's rendition of the national anthem. personally, i don't know anything about music, but based on what i heard, and based on all the pacquiao fights that i've seen, i think martin's version was the best so far. and i loved the fact that he chose to wear francis m's brand, three stars and a sun. you just couldn't see it well because martin was wearing a blazer.

then came tom jones. i felt a bit awkward when i heard him sing God Save the Queen. the last song i remembered hearing him sing was Sexbomb. and now here he is singing the british national anthem. it was a bit unexpected, but he did a fine job.

when both boxers were introduced, all the people inside the bar were so hyped up. then the first round started. i heard people saying "yakap ng yakap si hatton", which was true. and every punch that hits hatton's face was met with "oohhs" from everyone watching. when hatton dropped the first time on round one, everyone was at their feet, clapping, shouting, cheering for pacquiao. i did the same thing. everyone settled down and when hatton was knocked down on his knees the second time, everyone inside the bar was really cheering. everyone was screaming their lungs out and clapping their hands off. i even heard someone hitting the table with something hard. i guess it was easier for that person rather than clap. hehe..

when the second round started, almost everyone was at the edge of their seats, waiting for something bigger to happen. then it came. hatton got knocked down cold. he was lying on the ring, and when his face was focused, i saw his eyes rolling around. as soon as hatton got knocked down, everyone got on their feet and i saw people pumping their fists in the air. everyone was so ecstatic! i felt sorry for hatton. but at the same time, i was glad we won. my throat was hoarse from screaming. my hands hurt from clapping. but it was well worth it.

i'm currently chatting with my mom and my younger brother. my mom asked me if i have spoken with my older brother about a digicam that they plan to buy for me. i said i was told nothing about it. my mom asked me to look at an online best buy flyer. i did and i saw the camera she wanted to buy for me...

i'm an addict

it's been quite a while since i last read a good book. i may not look the part, but i love reading. i guess i could live alone on an island with a library of great books to keep me company. i think it runs in the family. well, i'm not sure who we got it from, but my older sister, as well as my older brother, loves reading as well.
i remember having a library card in marcopper's public library and i used to go there when my cousin's family was still living there. getting that library card was, for me, something of a priviledge, since we were not residents of marcopper and we only used to go there whenever there's a week off from school and only during school breaks (summer, and christmas breaks). the only time we stopped going there was when marcopper closed down.
i remember completing the hardy boys and the nancy drew collection, all the sweet valley books (yeah, starting from the sweet valley kids up until the sweet valley university), and then i also read books from r.l. stine.
when i was in high school, i started reading these really thick romance novels. i used to ask my brother to borrow from his friends (our school library didn't have such novels because it's too detailed) so i could read them.
when i was in college, my cousin introduced me to john grisham's novels. up til now, the only novels i haven't read from john grisham's collection are his newly released novels.
i stopped reading books/novels when i started to work. the first work i had, i was in the night shift, so when i got home, i would rather sleep than read. at times, if sleep won't come to me that easily, i would read until i fell asleep.
this tuesday, peepee and i went to dog city along e.rodriguez avenue to buy dog kibbles. they ran out of stock and it won't be back in their shelves until this saturday. we were running out of kibbles and wednesday is coding day, so we cannot buy kibbles until today. the kibbles at home is only good until wednesday, so we had to just go to this other store somewhere along tomas morato. the name of the store is pet studio.
good thing we went to pet studio. not only do they have the brand we wanted, they were also located right next to this used book store called bound. while peepee was inside petstudio haggling with the lady, i was outside Bound, looking for nice titles.
i found three novels (Fortune's Mistress, Deadly Rich, and Texas Heat). i just finished reading fortune's mistress last night, and i'm now starting to read deadly rich today. to anyone who loves reading as much as i do, but don't wanna shell out big bucks for a good book, try going to Bound. the three books i bought totaled 130Php! cheapskate!!
