Happy Mother's Day To My Late Mother

Image
    Remembering my late mother this Mother's Day was very heart warming, since she's gone for a long time but still I was longing for her because our bond since birth was undeniable, she was always there at my side and nurtured me until I grow into an adult. My mother is very strict and disciplinarian.     When  i finished my college while working as a janitor of Toledo National Vocational School, my mother was always there at my side and attended my college graduation without my father because he passed away when i was 19 years old. I became a breadwinner of the family and support my brother and sister when my sister finished her college that's the time I feel I became free and learned some vices like gambling and drinking. When I am out with friends for a drinking spree my mother always waited for me to come home even until dawn, but she never get mad she always advice that there is no good in drinking.       One day she was sick and diagno...

MANNY PACQUIAO VS. ERROL SPENCE JR. THE BEST FIGHT OF 2021

Finally, Manny Pacquiao confirms through his Twitter account that he will fight the 31 years old Errol Spence Jr. from the USA  the fight is held in Las Vegas Nevada on August 21, 2021.  Pacquiao now 42 surely the underdog of this fight. Whatever the outcome of this fight a win or lose the legacy of Manny Pacquiao remains intact. I think this is the best fight of the year 2021, we see many Pacquiao entertain us with good fights, but this one is different because we cannot see a flurry of punches but a more tactical one like a tiger waiting for his prey in ambush. In terms of age, it will be a disadvantage for Pacquiao since his opponent is young and no defeats, but Pacquiao still has a spirit of a warrior who always challenges the best out there and age is not a deciding factor but his ability to overcome against all adversary. In my simple opinion, this fight may look like his fight with Lehlo Ledwaba 20 years ago in MGM Grand Arena when he defeated the champion by a knockout...

Late Afternoon Run - With Stability Shoes

Image
It was a dry Tuesday afternoon with no rain expected on that day, I change my clothes from work to running attire, It was habitual for me to run every other day at the school oval after my work, but the schedule of my regular run was hampered by the pandemic... Besides, the oval was wet and muddy due to successive rain for the past 6 months,  tall grasses grow everywhere, and running was not ideal in that condition. But now it's  summertime the grasses began to welt and trimmed by grass-eating animals like cows, and a group of men with lawnmowers courtesy of the Local Government. Conditioned your mind before you run to pump up some adrenalin: I was encouraged to run again while looking at the scenery of the school oval with a good ambiance because it's dry and not muddy. At the start of my run, I breathe heavily and felt my feet and body was heavy, at the slow start I gain my momentum and completed a 2.8 kilometer run for 7 rounds of the oval. It was a very refreshing feeling ...
