If Borat met Manny Pacquiao

15-Nov-2006:

I heard Borat the journalist (Ali G) movie is a big hit. But some friends of mine write each other the same way. But now I'm a huge fan of Borat. Sample from what I wrote our group :

While we take a breakdown from seriousness, I think Pacquiao will win.

But sometimes the Filipinos do not win the second time, when the first was already the Alcano on the pool. Let us faith, hope and charity that this feng shui rule will avoid our country this time so that Pacquiao can be allowed to massacre his boxing enemy on this Sunday the day of Rest…

My friend, President and CEO of corporation, writed me: “Almost sure dat Pacman the man from Gen san will won this three times around. Morales has to loose around ten lbs. to hit 130 lbs.and that will surely drain him and energy lost in short time frame. Pacman in six rounds will won!”

I writed in the return: “This Pacman boxing enemy is a cheapskater. He is losing only ten pounds to hit 130 pounds? What is ten pounds or 130 pounds, they will be winning the million dollars. I writed my friend why is this Morales the boxing enemy losing in pounds, he is not the British people, he is the Mexico, and they are fighting in the United States for its dollars!”

If he is like that, millions of the Philippines people are right to pray to God the merciful that this Pacman boxing enemy will puff in the face and eyes, and his nose will break up and divide and blood will spurt from his face and run down his body and his boxing short pants, and he will fell to the floor from suffering the boxing blows of Pacman. Please, God the merciful…

Pacquiao will win the million dollars, and including the Alcohol advertisement in the television commercial, earn as big the income as many provinces in the Philippines. He is building his house, larger than the subdivisions, his bedroom is 120 sqm, which is two lots in the subdivision.

He will share his blessings and million dollars and his boxing genes as he continue to father children from his girlfriends, and give the girlfriends the money as silent form. His generosity knows no bounds!

Pacman will win in the short time frame of 6 rounds.

Baseball and the Juice

I don't like it when I hear people call Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa "cheaters" to be excluded from the Baseball Hall of Fame and their homerun records annotated. Cheaters, I suppose, compared to those who weren't known to have used performance enhancers?

Homeruns are just between batter and pitcher. Ruth and Aaron set their records against the pitchers of their times. McGwire and company blasted theirs against the pitchers of theirs. The latter three cheated against their pitchers? Ruth and Aaron never faced the pitchers McGwire, Bonds and Sosa faced. Are we sure those pitchers weren't "cheating" as well? Thus, steroids vs. steroids, those homeruns should stand.

Genealogy and Heritage Societies

From the mountains to the city. In a related development, Cebu heritage buffs are initiating a revival of old Parian traditions.

Trouble with this inward focus is it sets back Cebu Society to the dozen or less families of the Parian of the 1800s. Veloso, Osmeña, Rallos, Garces, Regis, Velez, etc.

Thus, if you want to identify with this old Parian, my guess is you'll just have to establish your lineage to these families. Unless it's back to the fringes for you--not much movement from your ancestors a hundred-forty years ago.
