Today is a remarkable day to all Filipinos. The whole nation seemed to stop to watch the dream boxing fight between our very own Manny Pacquiao and Oscar dela Hoya. Before noon, Ace was uneasy and couldn’t wait for the telecast of the most awaited fight to start. He wanted to know who won right then and there. Hence, he YMed his former classmates who are based in US to ask who won the fight. Sadly, his friend didn’t subscribed for a pay per view so she don’t know who won. Another friend told him that Manny won on the 8th round. Ace was even eager to see watch the game immediately.  Then Ace got a site from another friend where to watch the live video streaming. But when finally opened the site, the game was over. So we don’t have a choice but to wait for the game to be aired on TV. Too bad that GMA network covered the game and as usual, telecast is delayed for more than a couple of hours not to mention the tons of advertisements in between. 

Anyway, days before the fight, I was following updates through the news and feed it to Ace who miss watching the daily news. At one instance, Manny wore a tuxedo and I was like “why?” Why he didn’t wear Barong Tagalog? Hmmm….he must be fond of tuxedos but I wanted to see him in Barong. He looks good in his tuxedo though.  But that minute issue within me was forgotten when he won the fight. ‘Twas such a good fight but I would love it more to see super punches from Manny. Congratulations, MANNY!
