Jam w/ the Mayor

Last Saturday, Manny Pacquiao took home another victory against Shane Mosley. I've watched his other fights before but this time was different. My family and I were invited to an event where the Mayor of Vancouver showed up, showed his support for the Filipino community and actually watched the fight with us! After the fight, he even jammed with my dad, my brother and other friends. I thought that was pretty cool as I haven't heard of too many other Mayors doing that. ;)

Like any other person (especially a person in the spotlight), he isn't loved by everyone but i really believe that things change when you get to meet the person. Sure, he may have different views and ideas but he's really down to earth and seems like a nice guy... he even wore a Manny Pacquiao t-shirt that night. Haha!

I guess the lesson is that you shouldn't create your own ideas about someone before you meet the person :)

Have you not liked someone because of what you heard about them, but changed your mind after meeting them?

Snuggilicious Weekend

Long weekends are never long enough. My highlights:

(1) & (2) - Spent time with my best girls watching cheesy Filipino movies, eating, talking, speeding up our friends love life by signing her up on E-Harmony (let's see if it works!!!), eating, eating, and more eating. Like my sexy snuggie pic? ;P I used to laugh at their info-mercials (actually i still do), but it's surprisingly pretty comfortable.

(3) - Bought lots of pretty paper to start making Christmas cards for friends and family! You may just be getting one in your mailbox soon! :D

(4) - My parents and my fiancees parents met last night to discuss wedding stuff. It's slowly sinking in... i'm getting married in 7 months!!!

... and of course, i wouldn't be a true Filipino if i didn't make mention of the awesome victory by our "national hero" MANNY PACQUIAO!!! I am so glad Margarito got beat up the way he did, especially after my brother showed me a YouTube video of him making fun of Freddie Roach (Pacquiao's coach) because he has Parkinson's Disease (watch video here). This is what you get for being a heartless man and for messing with Team Pacman!
