* UFC Live: Vera vs. Jones

03.21.10 1st Bank Center Colorado

Watched the co-main event fight and I can say Junior Dos Santos is one of the strong heayweight's now when he stopped Gabriel Gonzaga in the 1st round countering Gonzaga's trademark kick with a punch.

I am a Vera supporter and it's kinda sad he lost two straight now, and he was hit hard by an elbow in the face and then the stoppage of the fight against Jon Jones.

* UFC 111: Hardy vs St. Pierre

I wasn't able to watch the undercards except for the co-main event which is Mir vs Carwin and the Main Event which is GSP vs Hardy. The Mir and Carwin match is a quick one, I thought Mir would win but Carwin dominated Mir with the strong strikes that knocked Mir down making Carwin the UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion. I can say I am excited for the Lesnar and Carwin fight, too bad for Mir his fight with Brock Lesnar would be delayed because of his loss.

The GSP and Hardy fight is not that exciting but GSP dominated and outclassed Hardy just like what happened to GSP's previous fights with Alves and Penn. GSP wrestled Hardy and take him down a lot of times and almost made him submitt with two armbars. GSP won 5 rounds making him still the undisputed UFC Welterweight Champion.

* Revolver Productions feat Franco, Pedicab and Taken by Cars

Taken by Cars

Franco

Last time I was in Saguijo was mid last year and when I checked their website I saw that Franco has a gig together with Pedicab and Taken by Cars, so last month I filed a leave for this day and asked some of my friends to go there. We arrived around 10:30pm and as always the place is Jam packed, I wasn't able to take photos of Pedicab but the performance is really really awesome. Taken by Cars was great and so as the much awaited band Franco. It was so hot just like the Saguijo Anniversary last year and it's like Sauna inside lol and my shirt is really really wet. Had fun watching the bands, OPM rocks :)

* When things get complicated :)

I just recently changed my relationship status at facebook from "Single" to "It's Complicated". Errr but facebook shows with my friends that I changed it to "In a relationship" and "It's Complicated" haha. I can say I am happy right now and it's funny after reading the comments of my friends :)

* KC and the Sunshines Q1 Team Building

We have been together for almost 2 years and I can say I am really proud to be a member of this team since I started working with GE. My Boss, Coach and my team mates are all cool. I can say we worked hard and had fun being together as a team. I can say I will surely miss everything even though we are still in the same office but not together as one team anymore. Like what they always say "The only constant thing in this world is change" and all I have to do is to adjust and go with the flow and maybe it's going to be a new challenge for me this time being transferred to a different team.

Last Sunday we had our last Team Building which at Starmall Alabang, "Health Ahead" is our theme so we played bowling and it's my 1st time to play the game and I can say it's fun, Pizza is served and sodas while we are playing. After Bowling we went to Barquo and drink till 1am haha I was so drunk. Took photos of our team building.

* Jeff and Dae Wedding | 03.17.2010

The day before the wedding Dae sent me a PM at facebook asking if I could attend her wedding, I can say I was shocked and asked her if she's just kidding but she said she's not.

I wasn't able to attend the wedding just the reception :)

I wanted to say congrats to Dae and Jeff and thanks for inviting me. I had fun taking photos and eating hehe and seeing one of my highschool buddy Edd.

* Pacquiao defeats Clottey

Pacquiao's killer body shots to Clottey (photos from sports.yahoo.com)

Pacman again Victorious (photos from sports.yahoo.com)

Philippine Pride Manny Pacquiao proved once again that he was the best by defeating Joshua Clottey of Africa by unanimous decision. Pacquiao won every round 120-108 by attacking Clottey's body making him look like a sparring partner. Pacquiao fired a total of 1,231 punches to his opponent outclassing Clottey. Joshua Clottey is know for his defense but it didn't work against the speed and accuracy of Manny Pacquiao. Now everyone is looking forward for the Super Fight against Mayweather. Again Manny Pacquiao makes us Filipino's proud by his win against Joshua Clottey.
