Things I Think I Think:

  1. Have you seen THE fight? Of course you did. What a masterful display by Pacquiao. In knocking Diaz out, Manny did what no Filipino or Asian has ever done before. He's the first Asian to ever win 4 world titles in 4 weight divisions. And the way things are shaping out, it looks like it will be 5 next year. The legend just keeps on growing. And we're witnessing it. Enjoy the show folks. This is once in a lifetime.
  2. Just when everything's going well in our economy, the oil & food crisis put the brakes on our takeoff. One can draw a parallelism to the Asian financial crisis during Ramos' administration. One can't help but think. Our country is really cursed. Really, think about it.
  3. Strange but true: I saw on television yesterday that on Saudi Arabia, mineral water (bottled water) is costlier than gasoline. Goodness gracious! Why can't our government leaders negotiate with them Arabs? Let them pick from Wilkins, Agua Vida, Absolute, etc. In exchange, we'll accept unleaded or premium. hehe
  4. The UAAP & the NCAA are in full swing. Time to show your true colors. Mine's yellow. Growl.
  5. With gas prices rising through the roof, the MMDA has unwittingly discovered the solution to our traffic woes. Bayani was heard trumpeting that we should raise gas prices even more. haha
  6. Of all the major banks, Banco De Oro (BDO) is the dumbest, most inefficient, most insensitive of them all. Maybe you have noticed their atms offline during payday? Or when you visit the bank itself, surprise of all surprises, the bank itself is offline. And you say this is a major bank? I'm missing Equitable Bank already.
  7. A week from now, I'll celebrate (or should I say mourn) another birthday. Malapit na ako mawala sa kalendaryo. Hay. I wonder where the fountain of youth is...
