choice of weapon

Cinematographically, it wasn't his best fight. I didn't even enjoy the battle that much. When Freddie Roach declared the champ has a secret weapon they finally perfected, I didn't see "it."

I didn't think Barrera was a threat to the champ so having a secret weapon was unnecessary. Maybe he said that to increase ticket (and bets) sales.

Let me tell you what's worth the excitement. That's going to be a fight with Marquez.

Well, Pacman conquered today. That's all that matters. For now.

My ex-client based in LA already informed me of the result even before they began the fight that was telecast on local tv.

Saturday night, after working really really hard for the past two weeks, I took my family to Gerry's Grill Sucat. It is located where Shopwise is, just across the St James School. What got our attention was the Santana, an arcade that looks like a mini-ATC, beside Showise. It is a neat place to hang out.

I don't normally use the SLEX going to work or anywhere else because I'm in that part of Sucat that's closer to SM. So discovering Santana was more of an accident last night. I originally wanted to take them to West Gate, Alabang. Pero tinamad na ko.

After dinner at Gerry's, we went to Starbucks in Santana for dessert.

Santana's 2 levels also have Yellow Cab, Tomato & Cheese, Jollibee, Chowking, Teriyaki Boy, Mongkok, Miracle Spa and Mocha Blends. Di ko na maalala ang iba.

If you're wondering which Shopwise this is, it's that supermarket where an actor had an infamous encounter with the security because she was wrongly accused of shoplifting.

kids should know that...

According to the Iliad, Mycenaean warriors included boxing among their competitions honoring the fallen, though it is possible that the Homeric epics reflect later Greek culture. Another Greek legend holds that the heroic ruler Theseus, said to have lived around the 9th century BC, invented a form of boxing in which two men sat face to face and beat each other with their fists until one of them was killed. In time, the boxers began to fight while standing and wearing gloves (with spikes) and wrappings on their arms below the elbows, although otherwise they competed naked. (wikipedia)
