10 wonderful moments 2008

If there are toughest moments, there are wonderful moments also XD

#10- Gained more friends during my last days in college

Seriously, I don't have permanent barkada in college and even in high school. Because Im a very friendly person and I'm not choosy when it comes on choosing friends(except to the bad influences of course)

#9- PSP

- February 2008, I bought a deep red psp! Tuwang tuwa ako kasi donwload lang ako ng download ng mga games online X

#8- 254(score) in sonic blastman arcade

- Yeah I'm a video game/arcade addict! I scored a 254 in 1 punch because I'm so pissed during that time

#7- Wall climbing over 40 ft. SWEET!!!

- I climbed a wall few days before graduation. At first, I feel kinda scared when I went down to to the ground but it was fun. So I climbed two times in less than 5 minutes! After that my forearm hurts but I'm still happy!

#6- Became addicted to MMA

- Training martial arts for me is fun because I can defend myself against bad people and its a great exercise. After graduated in college, I've been addicted to MMA. I hope this year is a good year for me to pursue a MMA career

#5- My US driver's license

- My US driver's license in Ohio is expired. When I asked someone here in Richmond about my license, she told me that I should take a test&driving test again! How come it became wonderful moment? After I passed the test, I took driving test immediately. Usually it will take 30 days before you take the driving test. Since I have my expire Ohio driver's license and my license in Philippines, they allowed me to took the test and I passed!

#4- My car

- Since I'm working in a car company, the company gave me a discount! So I chose Toyota Camry 2009 5-speed manual transmission and I'm planning to replace the rims into a 18 inch color gun-metal rims

#3- Gimmicks during summer

- Since I graduated from college, its time to PARTY! from Embassy, Jaipur, Ascend to Temple and even REDBOX! hahaha. When I return in the Philippines, you can see me in the following bars! hahaha

#2- Graduation

- This is one of the best moments of my life, after 6 years(delayed because I stopped). When I bowed in the stage, my cap almost fall down haha! and after the graduation, me and my friends went to Don henrico's in MOA and ordered a lot of foods! haha after that I went to my tita's apartment in QC and went back to MOA(again) for dinner. Then we went to Boni high street. My parents were surprised because they didn't know that I go there haha. Then I said to myself "graduate nako kaya pwede ko na ibunyag ang mga libangan ko" hahaha! So me and my cousins went to ascend. Drink,chill and dance! =D

#1- I met my dream girl unexpectedly

- So me and richard went to cuisine because our friend Precious Adona invited me to go there. So I asked richard if he's available, without hesitation he said "I'M ON" hahaha. So when we are in the cuisine, we saw Precious and she greeted us. So we went inside, ordered beers. There's a lot of celebrities inside cuisine then BOOM! Richard told me that G___ was there in the event also but when I looked at her I said "no dude she's not G____". Richard called G____ then its her! So I became I Rock due to her beauty! hahaha! So I took a pic of her with richard then after that its my time. Honestly, I'm kinda shocked so I look messed up in the pic! So after that I talked to her for few minutes(konti lang nasabi ko kasi natameme ako haha). Since that day, we talked sometimes online even if I'm here now in US! I'm just hoping that someday we will meet again, but when that time comes I hope we will go somewhere(maybe shopping or tamang tambay lang)



- SO there you go! HAPPY NEW YEAR XD

Toughest moments 2008

Its 2009 already but I want to post my top 10 toughest moments of my life this 2008

#10- Bad MMA shorts


15 kicks in 10 seconds? That's what I do everyday after warm-up. While I'm doing it, my shorts messed up! OO napunit! Nung napunit yung shorts ko siyempre di ako makalakad ng maayos hahaha! so umarte na lang ako ng pagod na pagod habang papunta sa locker room.


#9- Thesis


Im the leader of the team and my group mates are lazy as shit! Kaya tinakot ko sila na hindi ko ilalagay yung mga names ng mga group mates ko pag di sila sumunod sakin. So nagsipag na. Nung 2nd sem di nagenroll yung isang group mate ko so 2 na lang kami. So we gave our 110% on thesis and the final defence. Good thing the judges gave us a "Minor Revision". May dapat lang daw tanggalin! AYUS


#8- the left knee injury


Its painful as hell because I kicked a muay thai bag in a wrong way. When the time I kicked the Muay thai bag, I feel the pain so I took a break. Good thing I can walk during that time. DAMN


#7 Fight with a Snatcher


Im on my wat to go home already and its 9:30 pm already when this guy in my front tried to steal something on my pocket. Buti na lang nagttraining nako ng Muay thai nun at medyo naalala ko pa yung mga skills sa grappling na natutunan ko. Kaya hinawakan ko yung kamay ng mandurukot at siniko ko sa ulo! Buti wala akong dala na bag nun so I can fight him without hesitation. Eh umalis ang ungas! BWISET


#6- Fight with a snatcher 2


I rode a bus going to NAIA.While I'm in the walk way of the bus because there are no available seats,there are two guys went in front of me.Then I noticed that they're doing suspicious! They Tried to get something on my pocket.The two acted that they'll loose balance on the bus even the bus isn't running fast.At first its fine with me,but they keep doing it up to 8 times.Then I realized that they're trying to get something on my pocket.Then I'm pissed,the gay looking snatcher did it for the tenth time! So that time I became SO ANGRY!!! I elbowed his back and his head SO HARD(I gave him a 2 hit combo) while trying to get something on my pocket.Then he looked at me,then I looked at him also and I whispered(T*ng Ina sige KOL!).Then i started to pop my hands,neck and stretched my arms(ready to use what I learned in kickboxing and muay thai in case they want a fight).Then the two policewomen passengers noticed the three of us so the two dumb-ass snatchers went in the door of the bus and then they went out.


#5- A BORING 2k8 NEW YEAR CELEBRATION!!!


I celebrated 2k8 New year last year here in US. My mom is in work so I'm the only one here in the house. So I'm just watching TV for the fireworks&countdown. BORING!!!


#4- Drunk bastard after workout


- So nagkayayaan. Napainom sa kanto ng 2 jumbo bottle ng red horse! Pagkatapos nun, umiikot na mundo ko hanggang makarating ako sa bahay, tapos sabi ko sa erpat ko pagod lang ako. Tapos sabi bat parang lasing daw ako!? hahaha! The way I move,Its obvious that Im drunk! I told my dad that Im so tired but I feel that im going to throw so I go to the toilet then BOOM! Ayun! hahaha! di naman ako pinagalitan! Sa totoo nga natatawa pa erpat ko nung nakita ako kasi para daw akong sinampal ng babae sa mukha nang 10 times! hahaha


3. The Wisdom tooth PAIN


- It happened just past November. During that time, I can't sleep because of the pain. Then my mom asked a dentist for a check-up. So during the check-up, the dentist said that ALL 4 WISDOM TEETH must be remove! OMG! The dentist told me that if he's going to remove my 2 impacted lower third molar teeth, the 2 higher third molar will hit the gum area which where the 2 impacted molars are and it will cause infections. So I will go back to the dentist to remove all 4 third molars! So I will say to my dentist to extract it while im sleeping and after the extraction, I will gonna take a pictures of the molars and bring it home hahaha




#2- The Brazilian Jiu jitsu training


- So I can say that its my 1st official MMA training, I arrived 2 minutes late and they are warming up already. So I changed clothes immediately and went to the grappling floor for warm-up. After that, all of the fighters are either heavier than me or lighter than me. So the black belter trainer is my sparring mate! WOW! First time of my training then my sparring mate is a black belter!? So he saw me struggling in the training. I had a hard time to do the chokes. The only chokes I did well are the D'arce choke and the guillotine choke. Anaconda choke is easy also but I can't choke my sparring mate so hard but when my sparring mate is going to choke me, he said "damn you you're so slippery" . I moved too much during the training so my sparring mate had a little bit hard time to submit me and i took 10 seconds before I tap and I almost laughed on his comment to me! haha. But when He d'arce choked me, my body went upside down! my body looks like I'm doing a letter C position and its very painful! During that time I don't have choice but to tap for 3 seconds because I can't escape from the choke. When my sparring mate went down to the floor ,I can't bow down because when I bow down, the choke will be tighter plus he locked my legs so I can't go sideways to escape. So I tap and my face is looks like color violet! hahaha



#1 "The professor's enemy"

Before I graduated in college, I had a professor in Tax102 who is VERY STUPID! Why? here's the reason number 1. My professor in Law102 dismissed our class late for 2 minutes. Then when I arrived in the room for my Tax102 class, I gave my assignment to my prof but the jerk said "di ko na tatanggapin yang assignment mo. Sa Law ka na lang magaral" WTF? My prof's age is in the 50's and he talked in a immature way?! The next few days nagtampo nanaman ng dahil sa thesis kasi kaming lahat nagttake ng thesis. Sabi ba naman " sige thesis na lang asikasuhin niyo, ibabagsak ko na lang kayo" Sarap murahin pangasar! haha Sabi ko sa sarili ko nun. Pass at all cost! so nung final exams, ambait ng nagbabantay samin. So ano nangyari? Join force kami lahat. Kopyahan,share ng scratch papers! hahaah! We OWNED our prof! haha






So there you go! Happy new year! =D

UFC 92: The ultimate 2008





Finally, a last UFC ppv for 2008! Im sure the fighters didn't eat their favorite foods during the Noche Buena so I can't blame some guy for being hot tempered hehe! In the main event. Its the Light heavyweight champ& ultimate fighter 1 winner Forrest Griffin vs. Ultimate fighter 2 winner Rashad Evans. Forrest is a very hardworking person while Rashad is a very explosive fighter after he Knocked out Chuck Lidell on UFC 88. Another title match is for the Interim Heavyweight Championship between Minotauro Nogueira(champ) vs. Frank Mir. Everybody knows that Minotauro is a great submission fighter and the guy who can stand after few knock downs and he will submit his opponents. Frank Mir is a former UFC champ for a while, then the title was stripped because of the motorcycle accident and the trilogy war between Wanderlei Silva against Quinton Jackson! This two doesn't like each other. They REALLY hate each other. This two met already in Pride FC and Wanderlei won the first 2 fights against rampage



UFC 92 weigh in

Submissions 101: the kneebar

This kind of submission is the one I don't want to receive from my future opponents! I still remember the time when I experienced kneebar. It was 8 years ago when I had a Judo fight and a Gokyu (5th class)belt promotion at the same. I lost the fight due to the kneebar and the worst part, my left knee popped so I tap out immediately due to the F*CKING severe pain. You can see this kind of submission MMA fights, Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling and United States Marine Corps martial arts program




Merry Christmas everyone

Merry Christmas everyone! My dad and relatives in Pinas. My friends,buddies, pati na din yung mga may sama ng loob sakin kung meron man hehe at higit sa lahat sa special someone ko(you know who you are) God bless everyone =D

When I received this, I took a pic immediately haha. Ang ganda ng tela niya and it really shows the Pinoy style because of the sun and the Flag in front XD

PACMAN WON!




Another IMPRESSIVE win by Pacman against The Golden boy! madaming nagsabi na si De La Hoya ang mananalo sa laban pero pinatunayan ni Manny na siya talaga ang pound-for-pound boxer ngayon. Fight advantage, reach and experience goes for the golden boy but speed,agility and power left punch of pacman prevails. When I saw the first 3 rounds, I can say that Manny dominated the fight. Then after round 8 the Golden boy doen't want to fight anymore(parang I QUIT match sa WWE lol). It reminds me of the 2nd episode of UFC's the ultimate fighter 8 when 2 fighters fought in round 1, the 1 fighter doesn't want to continue to round 2 which is kinda shocking for a fighter. Because you surrender in the middle of the fight! I can see in Pacman's eyes that he wants to fight Ricky Hatton!

Dream Match- Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya

Mamaya na to and of course, I will support Manny. Madaming nagsasabi na malaki chance ni Golden Boy. Kung experience ang paguusapan oo si Golden boy. Pero kung ang paguusapan speed,agility,stamina at Puso, Manny has a advantage! So mga Pinoy, lets pray that Manny will win against Golden boy!
