Wow. It’s been a really long time since I posted an entry on this blog. I had been busy with work and it’s been a really tough week. I know this may be a little too late but I really liked to blog about Manny Pacquiao and Cotto’s fight last Nov. 15. Though, I’m not really a big fan of Pacquiao but I found myself watching the event, perhaps just like thousands of Filipino and non-Filipino folks anticipating the fight.I guess, most of the time I was curious whether Pacquiao would win or lose to his opponent, Cotto. I’ve heard a lot of comments about him losing to Cotto because he’d been too busy being the celebrity, not that I blame him.

The fight was entertaining and I was happy to know that Pacquiao won, after all, I am Filipino. Now, I’m wondering who can really defeat this guy? It seems he’s stronger than his opponents despite his height. Well, I just hope he won’t end up like other famous boxers who became thick headed and lost everything they had and owned because they forgot who they were and where they came from. Anyways, Pacquiao’s victory meant a great deal to our country since he proven once more that Filipinos are not to be underestimated nor belittled.

In my previous post, I told you I’m trying to learn Photoshop CS4 so I made this sort of a collage of Manny Pacquiao just to apply some of the tricks that I learned with the tutorials I practiced.

Tragedy fell upon former heavyweight boxing champion, Mike Tyson when his 4 yr. old daughter, Exodus, died a day after she was injured while playing at their Arizona home. Phoenix police stated that she was playing on the treadmill on Monday when her head apparently slipped inside a cord hanging under the console. Since then, Exodus Tyson had been in the hospital on life support. Her older brother found her caught in the cable. Mike Tyson’s family asked for privacy.In a statement, the Tyson family said: “There are no words to describe the tragic loss of our beloved Exodus. We ask you now to please respect our need at this very difficult time for privacy to grieve and try to help each other heal.”Police strongly believed that Exodus’ death was just a result of a tragic accident.

This news came as a big shock to me. Though, I don’t know Mike Tyson very well and I’m not quite the boxing fan; however, I cannot imagine how it feels to lose your child whose only 4 years old. I don’t know and I don’t ever want to know how this feels…that’s why this serves as a reminder to us with families of our own. We should watch over our kids and don’t leave them out of our sight especially if they’re too little to know what they’re doing. I’ll be searching for an article that would help us make our homes safer for our kids to play on.
