Rafting

Location: Cagayan de Oro River, Philippines

So, part of my 3-Day vacation (5 days in total including weekend) was this - White-Water Rafting adventure with my siblings (and cousin and future sister-in-law Cheche)! Well, my youngest brother wasn't able to join us because he had to be with our Mother who was sick at that time. Poor him. I actually felt bad because I know how much he loves adventures like these. I felt bad for mother too, it was her birthday and she was sick. We miss our father. I'm sure if he's alive, he'd join us. He's cool that way.  :(

IT.WAS.AWESOME! You guys have to try it! We did the "advanced" course so the rapids were big. We fell off of the boat (is it called boat? Ü) once but it was intentionally done because we wouldn't. Science would probably explain it but I'd like to think we were THAT good! Ha-ha!

Here are some pics:

Look at me seriously listening to the instructor! Ha-ha!

Enjoy your day! xxx

UFC 155: Dos Santos vs Velasquez 2

It's UFC 155 tomorrow and I am super excited!!! This is the second fight between Cain and Junior (first name basis! Ha-ha). Who can forget the 64-second KO by Junior when they first fought? I know I can't! As much as I would like to watch it live on Balls, I can't. I have church.

Here's what I've noticed about UFC events; if there's too much hype on the main event, they feature not-so-popular fighters on the undercards. But it's MMA, you can't judge a fight by the fighters - anything can absolutely happen. I love watching UFC veterans because of their technique and attitude. In the same way, I love watching up and coming fighters because they give their best to be noticed by people so most of the time (if not all), it's a guaranteed slugfest.

Anyway, here's a screenshot of the fight page in  www.ufc.com. I don't know who to root for. I love both fighters. Goodluck to them! Happy weekend everyone! xxx

Run To..

Abellana! After almost 4 months! It's setup for tomorrow's Milo Run so it looks like this:

I just walked for about 40 mins. It's a start. I mean, that's how I started early this year when I went from 128 lbs to 105 lbs. I'm happy! I'm inspired! Ü.. xxx

Happy Independence Day!

do you feel independent and free? coz i sooo do! haha
 

im gonna be at the Outpost tonight to celebrate independence day with some great music, great food, and really great friends!
 

this week's been a little emotional for me and i need a little pick-me-upper although nothing really major happened i just had to take care of some stuff that had me sleepless for 3 days becuase it's hard to make someone understand something, i literally blew my mind out and really, it's so frustrating when you anticipate for something and then when it happens it's just so-so and also, it saddened me that i have to let go of someone becuase everything's not the same anymore, there's been a lot of changes and finally Rafa lost yesterday but now finally i accept the fact that some things are really just beyond our control and all we can do is move on with our lives and be happy! sorry, word puke!

anyway, it's gonna be UFC 115 tomorrow featuring 2 of my most fave fighters Chuck Lidell vs/and Rich Franklin! that's gonna be really awesome! here are the other fights:
 

Cro Cop (i hope he'll win) vs Barry

Thiago vs. Kampmann

Rothwell vs. Yvel

Condit vs.MacDonald
 

 Wilks (vs. Sobotta) and Griffin (vs Dunham) are also 2 of those i like in the UFC so i hope their fights are gonna be aired on tv

FIGHTCARD:

Rampage vs Evans
Bisping vs Miller
Nogueira (lil Nog) vs Britz (replacement for Forrest Griffin)

i'll be @ Durhan Beach (Tabuelan) tomorrow for an overnight luau.. i hope naay tv!!!

UFC 112

I offically hate ANDERSON SILVA! and for the record, i don't like his voice (it's funny)! I admire Demian Maia for not stooping down to Silva's level.. he's GREAT! and he will kick Silva's butt soon! hell, i wanna beat him (silva) up myself! but he's 6'2, im 4'11.. yeah..

Watching the whole 25-minute fight is a torture.. i mean, who would want to see their fave fighter all bloodied up right? Surprisingly, i didn't cry.. haha! Indeed, only Thiago Alves can make me cry.. again, because he looks like my youngest brother..

i tweeted Demian Maia last night to tell him that he's one of the GREATEST for me! Ü.. follow him:(http://twitter.com/demianmaia)

Anyway, my father would be upset to know that BJ Penn's (http://twitter.com/bjpenndotcom) no longer the lighweight champ.. he's his fave since i-can't-remember-when.. i haven't texted him though.. hehe.. I wasn't able to really concetrate on that fight coz i was too nervous for maia vs. silva.. but i was stunned with the results.. i hated the fact that i didn't have cellphone load then, wla noon ko katext ni Papa and my bros! grrrr!!!

btw, it sucks when i don't have celphone load during UFC fight nights! I couldn't share opinions with my fellow UFC fanfriends!!

Hughes yet again beat another Gracie.. hahaha! 

tsk tsk tsk..

my new crush is Nick Osipczak - he lost and his fight wasn't aired but i saw pics of him on UFC's twiiter (http://twitter.com/ufc).. I first saw him though on Ultimate Fighter (UK vs. US)..

guys, you should really check out UFC's twitter account for some really funny comments on the UFC112 fights!
also, diba i tweeted about Rashad Evans (http://twitter.com/sugarashadevans) and Rampage Jackson's (http://twitter.com/rampage4real) trashtalking on twitter? it's actually still going on! it's hilarious!

that's all! it's raining.. no running for me today!

Just About Everything That's On My Mind Right Now

** UFC 109: a lot of GREAT fighters - my fave's DEMIAN MAIA..happy that he can now fight standing although he admitted "it's not the best", which i think is so manly of him..  i still can't believe his knockout loss against Nate Marquardt  (who lost against  Chael Sonnen - which was a great fight, niaksyon jd kog kakulba!)  atong UFC 102 but it happened so kebs nalang.. COUTURE won!! yehey! i expected a lot from the HAMMER but he didn't deliver..
** ASAP: it's probably my most favorite tv show.. I especially love last Sunday's.. HUNKS = HOT! but wait, did i miss it or  they just don't feature bands anymore???
** LOVE: my friend broke up with  his gf.. he said that there are a lot girls out there.. yup, he's right but there's no one like her.. i love my friend but i think it's so obnoxious of him to think that way! i slapped him in the back - now it's bruised! hahaha! THIS IS EXACTLY THE REASON WHY I DON'T WANT MY GUY FRIENDS HANGING OUT WITH MY GIRL FRIENDS!
another friend of mine broke up with her bf..it was a mutual decision but the guy kind of "suggested" - he doesn't have time i guess was the reason because he's at school or whatever? she still loves him and she's hurt.. ummm, i guess if you have a bf who isn't literally and not literally (Ü) there then what's the point??   
** im excited for UFC 110 - Nogueira vs. Velasquez, Silva vs. Bisping, Stevenson vs. Sotiropoulos, Jardine vs. Bader, Cro Cop vs. Rothwell, etc..there's no doubt in my mind that Nogueira will go home the victor
** THIAGO ALVES (luv him) will fight against Jon Fitch on UFC 111.. im scared coz he lost the last time they fought, and Jon Fitch's 3 inches taller..but just basing on the way they both fought GSP, Thiago Alves should win it - I HOPE!!!

my youngest brother mamash looks like Thiago, diba??? hehe..

** i miss hanging out with NIMPA band and the rest of the gurls - watch tag movie na!!!
** i was with sue, drol, fab, and erwin last saturday ! i had a blast - LAUGHED A LOT! had beer for the first time in months! miss you guys already! Drol, TC nganha ha - msg me if u hav sumthing to say or otherwise (just put a period or something)! Sue, laag nata with BB Zyd! Fab, atribido but ok ra ky interesting sad bya imng mga comments - ang uban! Win, thanks sa spaghetti!

URCC "Deliverance" Delivered!

Oh! no words can even describe it.. I HAD A GREAT (1 zillion times) time! It's my first, and to be honest, i feared that i might not like it "live" but, gosh! LINGAAAAAAAWWWWWW kaayo! i wished that id see things i saw on UFC like submissions, chokes, knockdowns/outs, blood, athletes talking on cam after the fight, ground and pound, and everything else - and, WISH GRANTED!

No, im not a violent person and i don't see the sport violent at all.. as what i've always said, it's the sport for the brainy and tough ones and i salute all the fighters - they're heroes for me.. and i hate all those people who complain a lot.. i mean, common guys, the fighters NEED to THINK! so yeah, last night, i was this (.) close to punching those people and knocking them out! hahaha!

So anyway, i thought that it'd be like PBA vs NBA - i love PBA but let's face it, NBA's way more fast-paced.. but URCC and UFC (and IFL, and others) are of the same level.. it's pure action.. I JUST LOOOOVE THIS SPORT OR ART!

Thanks to Mary Rose Rosal for joining me last night! She's a big boxing fan (a Pacquiao loyalist) but now loves MMA too because of my kakulitan! hehe.. to literally put icing on the cake, well, we had cake after and went home at around 4:30 am!  

I finally saw Alvin Aguilar in person and nag-pa-picture jd ko! weeeeee! i will post pics soon!

@ Twitter

i love following celebrities there.. i started following MMA stars and one of the fastest tweeters is Chuck Lidell (http://twitter.com/ChuckLiddell)- he's sooo cool.. he posted a lot of pics and here's one of them..

http://twitpic.com/spstm --- the caption: "Getting ready to get 1 of the 2 total strikes I had all night hahaha"
Once fan commented: "Chuck doesnt bowl. The Pins drop from fear of Chuck. All he does is hold the ball up"
