Mosquitoes like relaxed people
I'm back and for this entry my comeback entry would be about mosquitoes. Yeah, those annoying species of insects that you wish are extinct. They would suck you dry and then leave you with itchy blotches on your skin. Those pesky things that don't let you sleep during hot summer days.
But do not despair. Some scientists who, like us, hates these creatures have conducted studies on how to discourage mosquitoes from biting. And one of their findings was that stressed people don't get bitten as often as relaxed people. Interesting, right? It turns out that the body chemicals released by stressed people makes mosquitoes "think" that they are diseased or sick and "not a good quality blood meal." And who would want to suck the blood of sick people? Not Ms. Mosquito...
So that's why there are mobs of mosquitoes in Pinas. Pinoys are one of the most relaxed race in the world and no amount of problems can stress us enough. I lol'd at the idea...

Gundam Invasion
I was in highschool when gundam invasion happened. My brothers were hit and was assembling gundam models they bought from manong sidewalk vendor (Mom was too cheap to buy us the real thing). The real fun for me is assembling the mobile suit models. For my brother it as putting on the stickers and designing the look. For our youngest brother it would be the fun of destroying the mobile suit after assembly. I miss those days...
Well, for some crazy reason, some Japanese individuals decided to assemble a mobile suit model in Tokyo. My friend showed this to me and this is F-ing awesome. This is what I like about Japan and Japanese. Creativity and boldness. They are not afraid to release their inner child. Anyway, these guys assembled a model complete with lights and effects. I just wish it has a real-life cockpit as well as movement. When I became an engineer, my initial dream hobby was to create a cross between a mobile suit and C3PO. The dream was ruined by the endless search for money. Someday... Enjoy the videos...

Mayweather-Marquez Postponed
The somehow predictable thing has just happened. I'm not saying that this is a farce since I'm not by PBF's side but this does not surprise me. After retirement, one cannot expect PBF to be actually in shape. If this is really an injury, it's not how hard he trained but rather how his body was unprepared for the training. Boxers train hard all the time and to be injured during training tells much about how unprepared the boxer's mind and body is.
On the other hand, if this is one of PBF's delaying tactics then the same can be said. PBF is not yet ready for his comebacks. This might be one of his mind-games where he wait it out because he has an X% chance of losing.
I'm wondering what's actually the real score. But whatever the real reason is, PBF is not yet ready. If he wasn't injured, Marquez would probably injure him on June 18. The big question is what could be the implication of this to the possible fight between Pacman and PBF considering that Manny might run for Congress. We'll see...
Speaking of Congress... If con-ass pushes through and Manny Pacquiao win a congressional seat next election, there is a slim chance that we would have Pacman as prime minister... I shudder at the thought...

Reaction to Mayweather vs ESPN's Brian Kenny
Yesterday I came across this entry by Tim Sparks. This entry features two recent Mayweather interviews which basically can be summed up by any mind as "It's all in the money" and "I may have fought mediocre fighters but still I'm undefeated so I'm the P4P king". That's PBF for you. Good Job Mr. Kenny. Your questions were straight to the point but they hit the spot. As for PBF's answer, as the video progresses it becomes more and more shall we say... selfishly self-indulgent.
I hope Bob Arum, or whoever is promoting the fight (if ever PBF wins over JMM), would cough up enough dough to make it happen. Or else, PBF might again just settle to waiting it out again. It's all business.
Seeing this, I'm undecided if I want a PBFvsPAC or JMMvsPAC given that the winner of PBFvsJMM would face Manny. Eitherway I wish someone would clear the air out of this guys head.

Deja Vu?
The countdown is on for the circus act otherwise known as the Philippine elections. Political parties are now starting to maneuver their social status and political stands to optimize their chance of being elected. It's actually sad how these people, who are supposed to be our future leaders, become chameleons every election. Their focus is actually how to get more votes rather than what they can do for the country.
However the biggest news: if Erap is eligible to run for presidency. I was one of those who supported his ouster. And even if those who led that ouster apologize, I will not. Now he is aiming to run again. For me it's sort of crazy that Erap said that it would be a "battle royal" if he and Kabayan Noli both run for presidency. Where did he based his prediction? Well, the only thing is because both of them have the most "masa" following.
I still believe most of these people under the class "masa" are smart enough. Or not... I guess we will find out next year.

How famous (eerrr...Legendary) is Manny Pacquiao now?
So to anyone who has no way to measure how famous Manny Pacquiao is, see this video. Historically, only the most famous, overpowered, envy-generating and charismatic person are label demonic or possessed. Examples are the Beatles, Led Zep, E-heads, etc (I can name only in the music genre...). Of course there are some who are "naturally" evil and I will not name them here. So in relation to the showing of Angels and Demons(gotta watch that...),here is a "funny" video accusing Manny of being an Illuminati...
My Reaction: hahahahahahaha.... cough... cough... hahahahaha...kthnxbai

Nash wants to be an Honorary Pinoy
Hmmmmm time to plagiarize to boost more pinoy pride, if there's any room more to go up a notch (screw the economy, pacquiao won... just joking... work back to work JP!)
My friend Marvs showed me this article awhile ago (interesting blog name, i might add). Wow. One of my NBA idols, Steve Nash wishes to be an honorary pinoy. Well, I haven't been able to watch Stockton play a lot (not yet focused on sports at that time) so I Nash is the best point guard in my book. For him to twitter this was like Ali wanting to play in PBA.
