I'm sorry I haven't been updating here already. I have been busy building a new site.

When I stopped posting last December, I decided that this coming 2013 I will make a new blog that will be accessible to everyone. I get a lot of requests from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to have access in my blog.

So, end of January I made a new blog. The difference is in this new blog I wont be posting so much about my personal life, esp. my kids.

I will let you know and announce it here when I will be launching my new site. It will be soon.

And by the way, I wont be posting as much of my outfit of the day posts like I do here. I will post outfits but not that often anymore.

Thank you so much everyone.

Love you all!

xoxo,

Tina

I'm not a sports fan. But I love Manny, he is a filipino and our Hero. I met him in person and made me admire him more.

I haven't really watch an entire boxing match in my whole life. Among all sports boxing is my least favorite. I don't like anything violent. Hindi kaya ng sikmura ko.

But like everyone else I get the hype everytime Manny has a fight. Because of:

1) Vito. He is the athlete in our family. Everytime Manny would have a fight it was a big thing for him and his friends. They would all meet up in our house and would go together and watch.

2) Renante. Our driver. He would bet in every fight and he would follow the fight on radio. So, I would just get updates from him.

And, it's usually: "panalo tayo Maam"

So, okay Manny always win. We all know that. We all expect that. Life goes on...

Yesterday was ordinary for me. I knew he had a fight that day. But since Vito is not home anymore and Renante was on day off wala na akong updates. Pero sure ako Manny will win. Sure ako.

Until I got a call. All the way from New York. And the first thing I heard was: "Manny lost. He got knocked out!" I jumped off my bed and ran to the bathroom. Na ihi ako bigla!

"WHAT?" I was screaming on the phone and everything for me was a blur.

"He lost. He got knocked out!"

I said, "no way" Are you kidding me?

"No. He lost. He got knocked out!"

When I knew he wasn't joking I blurted right away: "buti nga sa kanya!"

I felt so bad. That was the only thing I could say. Sorry, tao lang ako, pinoy pa.

My point is that he should have stopped while he was ahead. Tama na. Sobra na. Masakit na tingnan. Ang sagwa na tingnan ni Jinkee.

Deep inside me I would always want to remember him as our Champion, our Hero (he still is in my heart) he will always be the Manny I met in one of his Victory Parties in Gov. Chavit Singson's house in 2010. Who was very nice and very accomodating. And very gentle. Hindi boksingero ang aura nya.

He arrived in the dinner past 9 PM already. By that time all the guests had finished eating. When he arrived everyone wanted to take pictures, he gave in to all requests. In every table.

It was nearly midnight and I wanted to go home already and by the look of it mukhang mga 1am na aabot si Manny sa table namin. I didn't want to go home without a picture with him. I promised someone who was his greatest fan that I wont go home until I have a picture. With him.

So, I stood up went thru the crowd, pass his very tight and 1 zillion security. All I could remember was I said: "tabi, tabi kayo dyn at kailangan ko ng picture, uuwi na ako!" And the next thing I knew Manny was f****G right in front of me! I didn't know what to say! So, I said: "can I have a picture with you?" He smiled and stood beside me. My hand was shaking. So, I held my camera in front of our faces and he held my elbow gently so it would stop shaking. And I got my picture.



Maraming, maraming salamat Manny!

I will always celebrate win or lose.


CHEERS! For a job well done!
