Here is the complete list of Forbes 40 richest people in the Philippines (2012):

 A World Boxing Organization review of the controversial championship bout between Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley concludes that the Filipino boxing icon should have won the fight. The finding was unanimously arrived at by five international boxing experts tapped by the WBO to re-score the fight.

James Slater of Eastsideboxing.com reported on Thursday that “the five officials, from all over the world, sat down and viewed a video of the fight earlier this week. Not surprisingly, considering the fact that most fans and experts had Pacquiao winning big over the unbeaten Bradley, all 5 WBO judges re-scored the fight for PacMan – and they scored it big for Manny.”

The scores, all for Pacquiao:

QUARTER SCORES:
1st Quarter: OKC Thunder plays aggressively and lead the game with 14 points. 33-19
2nd Quarter: Thunder's lead is down to 3 points. Scores are 49-46
3rd Quarter: Heat is now on lead with 3 points. 75-79
4th Quarter: Miami Heat wins Game 4. Scores are 98-104. Series is now 3 -1 Heat leads the series.

Yey! Seen my class schedules already for this incoming school term. Only 4 school days for me. I have no classes every Fridays and Saturdays & of course, Sundays. Love it! :) Although, my Tuesday and Thursday schedule is a bit tiring and too hectic, from 9:30am to 7:30pm - I have no lunch break, nor merienda break...none at all. But I think I can survive those days because my International Cuisine class is on the same day and it happens that it is during lunch time. Saved by the bell there! ;) 

My ‘original schedule’ has no Logic class but because I need to take that subject mainly because it is a first year subject and yet I’m already fourth year so it’s been almost 3 years na iniiwasan ko ang logic na yan. Kaya kinuha ko na! Para matapos na! 

The World Boxing Organization (WBO) on Wednesday announced it has assigned five judges to re-score Manny Pacquiao's controversial loss by decision to Palm Springs' Timothy Bradley in an effort to convince state commissions to widen the pool of judges for major fights.

Although many at ringside for Saturday's fight gave Pacquiao between nine and 11 rounds, judges Duane Ford and C.J. Ross scored the bout 115-113 (seven rounds to five) in Bradley's favor, and a third Nevada judge, Jerry Roth, had it 115-113 for Pacquiao in the WBO welterweight title contest.

WBO President Francisco "Paco" Valcarcel said five judges, from New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Pennsylvania and Puerto Rico, will re-score the bout and submit their work confidentially to the WBO, with the scores to be gathered by Monday.

Valcarcel said that armed with that information, he will submit to the Assn. of Boxing Commissions by its July meeting a request that state commissions such as Nevada's work more diligently to bring in judges from outside their states for fights of the magnitude of a world title contest.

Andrew Zimmern? I knew him! Well, not personally but I was able to watched his show, "Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern", on TLC many times already. His shows exposed different exotic and unusual food offered in restaurant all over the world. From what I've seen, I believe he has the 'say' to announced or predict that Filipino Food is the next big thing. 

And Filipinos should rejoice and must be thankful about it, not because our food can now compete to other Asian food, but because someone has noticed that there is something special about Filipino food.

How 'bout you? do you think Bradley really won the fight?

PACQUAIO vs BRADLEY HIGHLIGHTS:

Dear John With Lyrics

“Dear John, I see it all now it was wrong / Don’t you think nineteen’s too young to be played with? / Your dark twisted games when I loved you so / I should’ve known” -- these were the pretty strong words Taylor Swift put on her single 'Dear John', which is included in her 'Speak Now' album. 

The song is rumored written by Country Singer & Composer Taylor Swift for her ex-lover Singer/ Composer John Mayer. But Mayer himself kinda confirmed it or should I say, he believed that Taylor’s new song is really meant for him. 

Because in an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Mayer says he was “humiliated” by Taylor’s song. ”I didn’t deserve it. I’m pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do,” 

“I was really caught off-guard, and it really humiliated me at a time when I’d already been dressed down. I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest you’ve ever been, someone kicked you even lower?” Mayer added.

Well, Well, Well, with this new rift between Swift & Mayer, I remember someone had said before that "Be careful...If you break Taylor Swift's heart. You’ll be on her next song for sure!' and this is what actually happening to John Mayer.

Anyways, the song sounds great. So, there's no reason for Mayer to feel humiliated. Feel humiliated if Taylor made a song for you and it sounds suck? Right? :)

Filipino Boxer Manny Pacquaio will face American Boxer Timothy Bradley on June 9, 2012 (US time) and Jun 10 (Manila time) in Las Vegas, Nevada to defend his WTO Welterweight title. 

It will be an exciting boxing bout because if Pacquaio wins, he will be the 1st boxer who defeats Bradley. But if Bradley wins, that will be a big achievement for him. His name will be written by boxing historians as the boxer who beats the undisputed pound-for-pound king.

Timothy Bradley Jr., 28, has never lost in his 28 professional boxing fights and 12 of them were knockout wins, while Manny Pacquiao, who is 5 years older and more veteran, has 54 wins (38 knockouts), 3 losses and 2 draws.

Witness the Pacquiao vs Bradley live when the two world class boxing warrior clash inside the ring. Feel the excitement and see the fight live in action at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This blog will provide a Pacquaio vs Bradley Fight Free Live Streaming of the fight. So Stay tuned and Bookmark this page and come back here on June 9 (US time) or June 10 (Manila time).

As with everything controversial these days, expect Filipinos to poke fun at it by turning it into a meme. And that's exactly what happened to local fashion brand Bayo's mix-and-match campaign.

Its ads featuring mixed-race Filipina models like Jasmine Curtis-Smith, sister of actress Anne Curtis, have come under fire from netizens who have dubbed it as "racist."

Here's "What's Your Mix" Bayo Meme:

50% Pinoy, #50% action star = Claudine Baretto #BAYOlente

Finally, the most anticipated boxing bout, 'Manny Pacquaio vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. Fight', will become real, well at least thru Stop Motion Video formed by GRNMNGO and shared via video-sharing site, YouTube.

According to the creators, this video took 4 months to make and used 2500+ pictures and 2 custom made action figures. Well, their hard work is now paid as this video is already viral on web!

What do you think about the video?

American Idol Runner-Up Jessica Sanchez is set to sing the US National Anthem, "Star-Spangled Banner", in the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley bout in Las Vegas June 9 Saturday (June 10 Sunday, Manila Time). She confirmed it on her Twitter account today, June 6, 2012.

Filipinos replied on Jessica’s tweet right away saying that they desire Jessica to sing the ‘Lupang Hinirang’. But I guess, it will be a hard job for Jessica to sing the Philippine national anthem because of his American accent. And I am afraid that she might not sing it correctly or perfectly because she is not really good in speaking our language. And as we all know, our government especially the NHI is very very strict and is very very sensitive when it comes to our national anthem. One mistake may lead to a law suit. Sino sino na ba ang Pinoy singers na nag-public apology dahil sinabihan sila ng NHI na mali ang kanilang pagkakanta sa ating 'Lupang Hinirang'?  -- Martin Nievera, Lani Misalucha, Christian Baustista , just to name a few. 

But don’t get me wrong guys; I still believe that Jessica, someday, could sing the Philippine national anthem flawlessly. She just needs a long long preparation.

How many times did I say that Filipinos are one of the ebullient people in the world? Many times I’m sure. We, Filipinos, can always find time to smile and laugh despite of our problems - on money, love life, economy, and politics and so on. 

Just like what happened on Corona’s Impeachment Trial. For 44 Days of trial, we are glued on our television to hear the statement of the witnesses and to update ourselves on the latest stories on this historical impeachment trial in our country. And even if we deny it or not, there are certain people or personality that we can’t forget albeit the trial has ended. Private Prosecutor Vitaliano Aguirre, Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago, and Senator Lito Lapid, just to name a few. No doubt! They are indeed the favorite character of Filipinos on Corona-vela and the photos here are my prime evidence. Enjoy!
