WHY I CHOSE TO FIGHT PACQUIAO-DELA HOYA

Oscar De la Hoya initially thought he had already been there and done that.

Not until the thought of fighting Manny Pacquiao was raised to himlate last year that the Golden Boy realized that there was still one thing to be done: Fight and hopefully beat Manny Pacquiao,acknowledged as the worlds No. 1 boxer regardless of weight category.

"A lot of people ask me: Why did you choose to fight Manny Pacquiao?" De La Hoya wrote in his blog in The Ring website a few days ago and boxings top attraction had three reasons why he opted to sign up Pacquiao for their megabuck match on December 6 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

"The process went like this.I chose Pacquiao first and foremost because of the challenge.Manny Pacquiao is considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world today by experts. That is a challenge that motivates me"

"Second .I took the fight because of the fact that they called me out. I always take it as a challenge when you call me out.I'm going to respond to it.I'm going to react to it. And, third, this is a worldwide event. You have the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world and you have the most popular fighter in the sport in world in my self." De La Hoya said.

The idea of a De La hoya- Pacquiao fight was first raised by HBO boxing analyst Larry Merchant during his regular discussion with ESPN fight scribe Dan Rafael.

NEW MOON

When the Earth sun and moon are nearly in a straight line, with the moon in the middle,we have a new moon. As a general guide, the new moon is a good time to start new things, things that need time to develop.

Do your ritual either during the new or full moon. The difference is in your meditation and mental attitude in preparation. The new moon is a time of outward work and thought, building to the peak of the full moon.

Positive and negative is not the same as good and bad. Inthis sense, the full moon and the waxing moon are good times for positive desires. The waning moon and new moon are good times for removal of negativity.

Knowing the moon phases can help you plan and prepare for change, new beginnings and endings. Rituals can be enhanced by using the moon and its cycles for specific purposes. Having a goal can greatly affect the outcome of your rituals. Working with the moon's energy increases your own personal power and supports your intention.
We always see the same face of the moon because the moon's day is tha same length as its year.

This is because the moon's rotational period is the same as its orbital period. The phases of the moon, or its different shapes, are caused by the different angles from which we see the litpart of its surface. Half of the moon is always bright; we just cannot always see all its illuminatedparts.

The next full moonis on Dec.15,2008. The actual ritual for a fullmoon will depend greatlyon the focus you chose. New moon starts exactly when the moon is under the umbra or shadow of the sun , up to the fifth hour of its total darkness.

FULL MOON

The moon and the sun are in opposition , and starts exactly at its fullest up to the fifth hour.

The entire moon is bright.When the Earth, sun and moon are nearly in a straight line, with the Earth in the middle, we have a full moon. The full moon is the best time to announce new things, especially things to do with our emotions. This is also an ideal time for rituals and other spiritual celebrations and events. A full moon symbolizes a happy home life when moving to a new house.

GO 4 DIVAS

It took five years to put the projects together.It seemed impossible at times to make the schedules of four smart,busy,awesome,divine divas meet. Just as difficult to get a common playdate,or a suitable venue.

It was Kuh Ledesma's initiative to make them dreamof getting Zsa Zsa,Pops Regine and herself together in a concert come true. They had all done collaborative efforts in two's together before-Kuh and Zsa Zsa in "Diva 2 Diva" episode, Kuh and Regine in "Power of Two." But never the four of them together.

Now the four divas are singing together,swinging together and walking briskly towards their joint concert at the Araneta Coliseum on Dec.6,2008.

The little prince

In The Little Prince, Saint-Exupéry talks about being marooned in the desert in a damaged aircraft. Without doubt, this account was drawn from his own experience in the Sahara. He also writes about this ordeal, in detail, in his book Wind, Sand and Stars.

On December 30, 1935 at 14:45, after an 18 hour and 36 minute flight, Saint-Exupéry, along with his navigator André Prévot, crashed in the Libyan Sahara desert en route to Saigon. They were attempting to fly from Paris to Saigon faster than anyone before them had for a prize of 150,000 francs. Their plane was a Caudron C-600 Simoun n° 7042 (serial F-ANRY). Supposedly, the crash site is located in the Wadi Natrum. Both of them had survived the crash, but they were then faced with rapid dehydration in the Sahara. Their maps were primitive and ambiguous. Lost in the desert with a few grapes, a single orange, and some wine, the duo had only one day's worth of liquids. After that day, they had nothing. Both men began to see mirages, which were quickly followed by more vivid hallucinations. Sometime between the second and the third day, the two were so dehydrated that they stopped sweating altogether. Finally, on the fourth day, a Bedouin on a camel discovered them and administered native dehydration treatment that saved Saint-Exupéry and Prévot's lives.

In the desert, Saint-Exupéry had met a fennec (desert sand fox), which had most likely inspired him to create the fox character in the book. In a 1918 letter that he had written to his sister Didi from Cape Juby, he tells her about raising a fennec that he adored.

Patachou, Petit Garçon, by Tristan Derème, is another probable influence for The Little Prince.[7]

Antoine may have drawn inspiration for the Little Prince's appearance from himself as a youth. Friends and family would call him "le Roi-Soleil" ("Sun King"), due to his golden curly hair.

Death note anime series!

waahhhh..
you must watch this anime...
I like L lawliet and NEAr his successor..

This anime series seems to be horror at first because of its dark graphics and the setting as well. But everytime you will finish an episode you will be interested to know what's next or else it would be "bitin"! hahaha
Yagami Light vs. "L"

I love the battle of minds of these two characters.
Their logics are amazing and accurate. Wow.. That's the thing that keep me watching it till the end.

A realization came into my mind in the END.. I was thankful that light had failed to be the God of the new world. Near is the best successor of L..hahha

Even though you have the death note thinking it for a good intention still it came from evil so you are not uppose to use it for your own like what light did. Good will still win in the end. Only God can get life because he's the one who gave it. alright! It's not only a anime of action and suspense but also with value if you can realize it too. watch this anime then you will see! watashiwa L desu..hahaha

iPoddicted!

I really love music so when the iPod shuffle came to my life, it made me go crazy inside and just so happy for my first music portable device. What is an iPod by the way?

The iPod Shuffle is a digital audio player designed and marketed by Apple Inc (as iPod shuffle). It is the budget model in Apple's iPod family. It was announced at the Macworld Conference & Expo on January 11, 2005, using the tagline "life is random." Instead of storing data on a hard disk, it was the first iPod to ever use flash memory. The current second generation model weighs about 15 grams (0.55 ounces). It was introduced in September 2006 along with the revamped fifth generation iPod Classic and the second generation iPod Nano. The iPod Shuffle is the smallest device made by Apple.
