As you all know, I just recently turned the lovely age of 16. I wasn't really expecting a lot for my birthday, just the iPod touch ^^. A couple of days after my birthday, my aunts, uncles, cousins and great aunt (Ate Pam, Uncle Mark, Ellysa, Tito James, Tita Arlene , Rhyss, Jack and Tita Menz) came over to my place and greeted me happy birthday. Before all this, they were asking me what I wanted for my birthday. Every time I get asked this, the only answer I come up with is "I don't know... You don't have to get me anything" =) (yes I know, I hate getting that response too when I ask someone what they want for their birthday... it's like jeez. thanks for the help ) They arrived at my place just when I was doing my chores. At that moment, I was preparing rice for dinner. So when they came, I had to quickly finish and they told me to sit down.. I was like "okay... this looks like something major..." an odd-shaped box was brought out in front of me.. of coarse, I immediately recognised what it was since I've spent practically millions of hours either in my music teacher's studio, music classroom at school or in a music store. Yess.. it was a guitar! Oh snap! how cool !!! I was literally jumping out of my seat and frantically started to tear the box open, revealing a deep violet/blue guitar. awww. it was so cute .! A new guitar has practically been perpetual on my wish list and now I can now FINALLY tick it off. thanks to all my family who pitched in for the guitar! I'm TRULY grateful! I've already named her.. Miss Lilac. haha ^^ whoa... she looks blue doesn't she?.. well she's really violet.^^ I love the sound of it! Its loud and "stringy", just the way i like it^^.....So you might not know this, I'm a fan of boxing, but I am an even BIGGER fan of Manny Paquiao. (I think most filos are anyway) and yesterday was his big fight with Ricky Hatton. Basically all the filos in my neighbourhood gathered in my family room to watch the fight. The fight began and I was praying so hard that Pacman would win, I think everyone was. the match started and the room fell silent. The first round was so fast and Manny was so powerful, causing Hatton to fall TWICE! The room was filled with cheering along with nervousness. It was in the second round and Manny was punching hard. there were only 10 seconds left of the round and all of a sudden *POW* Manny lands this massive left hook on Hatton's face and there went Hatton, falling to the ground, COMPLETELY knocked out!! obviously, the house was flooded with the wild cheers of EVERYONE.. jumping up and down, cheering and hugging.. hahaha .. that was an incredible fight. Hatton didn't stand a chance... GO MANNY!WOOO!!! PACMAN!!!I think this is the only match where Manny has a height advantage...I'm telling you, the match was awesome, except the fact that it was so highly anticipated and it only lasted 6 minutes.! well.... Pacman's the best !MAJOR KNOCK OUT! I felt really sorry for Ricky, how embarrassing would it be to be beaten in the second round??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! He looked so out of it. I was actually worried that he was seriously hurt.
VICTORY!
After the match, we rushed to the church because we were celebrating Sanatacruzan. Angelou and Meggy were taking part in it so they were all dressed up and pretty ^^ Angelou was "Queen of Angels"..... *puke* ... yeah right... more like the "Queen of all evil" hahaha. I'll post the photos up next time coz I can't be bothered right now.. hehehe anyways, I need to study for my half yearly exams which are creeping close and closer. :Sciao! xx.nicaaa
GO PACMAN!
