bittersweet victory

a bittersweet victory...

it was just the very thing we needed a right now - a victory, something positive to hold on to.
i had a high fever the night before the most anticipated fight of the year- but i was already up by 6 am. it was almost a holiday in our street. there was an endless flow of beer - all the manongs sure were drunk 'n happy - giving their curse-loaded predictions for the fight, while the manangs were having their rosary-marathon to seal in the victory of the Pacman. Indeed, we are all fans of the guy.

We were tuned in to both channel 2 and solar sports, we were also listening to the radio, and i was frantically searching for early results online. before the fight even started on TV, we already knew he won.

still, it was painful to watch the actual fight. it was still very painful to watch the opponent fall.

(i will never marry a boxer. =) )

we got what we prayed for but there are still so many disappointments...

who sang the national anthem??!!!!! i'm sure she knows she messed it up! and did she really have to shout after the song??! it seemed quite rude.

and of course, it was a political feast on the ring after the fight...

well, i could forget about it all because...
hanep! bangis na mag-english ni Pacquiao!!!! whoo!
