Pacquiao Won!

Congratulations to Manny Pacquiao for retaining his welterweight champion title. The pound for pound boxer beat Marquez via majority decision. It was an exciting match that ended with a criticisms and bottle throwing fans when the result was announced.

Marquez thinks he was being robbed again of the title and said "I don't know what else to do to win."

Will there be a Pacquiao-Marquez 4?

Paris Hilton, the hotel heiress and socialite, arrived in Manila last Sunday for a 5-day business trip for her design collaboration with Century Properties for Azure Urban Resort Residences in Paranaque City and to open her posh boutique in SM Megamall.

It was reported that Paris lost her two ipads but contrary to the early reports, she did not lose it in Manila, probably in Dubai where she boarded for a flight in Manila, or somewhere else.

Azure is a six-hectare property development in Paranaque City that features resort-inspired theme with a man-made beach as one of the many luxurious amenities.

"Her unparalleled style that made her a successful businesswoman and a style icon, as well as her zest for living the good life are the qualities that we would like to incorporate into our vacation-inspired residential property," said Century Properties Chief Executive Officer, Mr. John Victor R. Antonio.

Paris will lead the design team of Azure's Beach Clubhouse amenity.

Goodbye, Amy!

So young... so talented. Goodbye, Amy!

Go the Fuck to Sleep!

Adam Mansbach probably had a conversation with me some time this year, heard my night struggles about trying to get my son to sleep and made it an inspiration to write a book.

That's a made up story.

Anyway, the author created a funny children's story book for adults that clearly narrates a parent's struggle each night for their kids to go to sleep. To make the story more hilarious, Samuel L. Jackson narrates it. 

Empty Oprah Syndrome

After 25 years of giving us daily informative, educational, funny and touching stories (not to mention the happy headaches)... Oprah finally said goodbye on television. It's been four days since Oprah's final episode and I bet lots and lots of people are starting to develop the EOS or Empty Oprah Syndrome. It is like you have lost a friend or someone dear to you who you can share your secrets, open up your feelings and ideas without being judged.

Oh, well, we can still see her in OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) and we can still read her updates at oprah.com and through her Twitter account (@oprah).

Kate's Wedding Day Dresses

Yesterday, the world came to a stop to witness the wedding of the century--Prince William and Kate's. Aside from making world history, the couple, particularly the Duchess of Cambridge, made fashion history with Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. 

The Duchess wore two dresses of equal sophistication from UK's most celebrated fashion house. For the wedding ceremony, the bride wore an intricately embroidered ivory and white satin gazar floor length dress with long lace sleeves and 8-foot train. During the party, she wore another white floor length gown with diamante embroidered belt and white angora bolero cardigan.

My verdict... stunning! She's looks every inch a princess in those gowns. Great job, Sarah!

The New Wonder Woman

Adrianne Palicki is the new Wonder Woman. What do you think of her more conservative costume? Oh, wait! This isn't the costume she's been using since she started shooting NBC's new TV series.

Finally! Lady Gaga and Maria Aragon Born This Way Duet

Finally! Lady Gaga and Maria Aragon had their duet in Toronto. This video gave me double goosebumps. I am so very proud of this girl. Lady Gaga seems like a really cool big sister. I hope there'll be more of this.

Enjoy watching!

Cheesiest movie lines and pick up lines

1. You complete me. - Tom Cruise to Renee Zellweger in Jerry Maguire

2. I am just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her. - Julia Roberts to Hugh Grant in Notting Hill

3. You had me at hello. - Renee Zellweger to Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire

4. Nobody puts Baby in the corner. - Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing

5. From the moment I met you, all those years ago, not a day has gone by when I haven’t thought of you. And now that I’m with you again… I’m in agony. The closer I get to you, the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you—I can’t breathe. I’m haunted by the kiss that you should never have given me. My heart is beating, hoping that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul, tormenting me… what can I do? I will do anything you ask. - Anakin to Padme in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones

Brad and Angie's Public Display of Affection

A little public display of affection won't hurt and besides we rarely see photos of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt snuggling each other.  This squeezing Angie's butt is surprising but hey, it somehow confirms that the rumors of them splitting are not true.

Love Angie's Versace dress, Brad just let her shine... anyway, it is the premiere of her latest movie The Tourist with Johnny Depp as her leading man.

Last Song Syndrome: Separate Lives

I have a last song syndrome... Phil Collin's Separate Lives.  It's not really the last song that I heard but it is the song that keeps on singing in my head.  No qualms. I love the song.  I think it is one of the best duets ever and the saddest.  I never grow tired listening to it.  Thank goodness the hormonal imbalance has just passed.

Feeling Mushy and It Is Not Yet Valentines

I am feeling mushy today because I heard again John O'Banion's song I Don't Want To Lose Your Love.  I first heard it when I was in college because of my aunt's collection of Cruisin' CDs.  I really like the lyrics and the emotion behind it.  This is the song that made him win the Tokyo Music Festival Award in 1982.  The song was later revived by several artists.  John died in 1990 because of blunt head trauma from a car accident.

Listen and enjoy.

Prince William and Kate Middleton wedding date revealed

Where The Wind Blows: Prince William and Kate Middleton are engaged


After much speculation on when and where the could-be-wedding-of-the-decade will be, the British Monarchy Twitter (wow, they have Twitter account) announced that the wedding will be on April 29th at Westminster Abbey. The lovely couple chose the date because they wanted a spring wedding and it is the feast of St. Catherine of Siena. The Westminster Abbey, on the other hand, has sentimental values. It is where Queen Elizabeth II wed and where British kings and queens were crowned. Although many speculated that the wedding will be held at St. Paul's Cathedral-where Princess Diana and Prince Charles wed in 1981-the couple opted for a more intimate location as Westminster Abbey holds lesser seats.

Prime Minister David Cameron already announced that the wedding day will be a holiday.

So, mark it on your calendar...April 29. The date the most eligible bachelor will tie the knot... and we will just watch him drift away with Kate.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are engaged

Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their engagement today after 8 years of dating.  They plan to wed in 2011.  Prince William gave Prince's Diana's engagement ring of 18-karat blue sapphire  surrounded by diamonds to Kate a month ago in Kenya when he proposed.

Their announcement officially ends my infatuation to the most eligible bachelor.  I wish them well (no sour graping here).

Pacquiao beats Margarito via unanimous decision

Once again, Manny Pacquiao has proven that he is the world's greatest boxer.  Via unanimous decision, Pacquio took home the title of Super Welterweight Champion of the World--his eighth boxing title.  Try to beat that!  I was surprised at how strong Margarito was, I actually thought he will be knocked out on the 6th round.

Congrats Pacman!  You surely made the Filipinos proud.

So, what's next?  Will Pacman retire?  No one knows yet.  Let's just wait and see.
