It's another wild Sunday for most Filipinos as they watch and scream over the fight of the year. As I am writing this blog, the world outside is going crazy over Manny Paquiao's fight against Margarito. Whoops! I just got a skype chat from my friend Craig who told me that Manny won. The crowd who was watching the match in out neighbor's house is starting to disperse already which signifies the end of the bout. I guess you're wondering why I am not one of the many who is watching. I'm not really sure why. maybe I'm just  tired of all the hype that people like Manny gets. Don't get me wrong though, I'm always happy every time a Filipino makes it big and brings honor to the country.

I'm an athlete my self and I love sports. Boxing is just not my cup of tea. I don't like the attitude that goes with the sport. Call me whatever you like but I am not one who would go crazy and be amused at people who mocks each other in pre-fight interviews. I guess I'm just so hooked on the respect that comes with traditional fighting arts like my sport Judo. My sport is so much different from boxing and mixed martial arts. It's probably the reason why I am not a boxing fan. It could also be my up bringing as a person. My parents always taught me the value of respect and honor as a child and that is something that I have always valued. Or there could be other reasons which I just can't point my finger to. Oh well. Congratulations, Manny Paquiao! You did it again! Now back to earth.
