While I do not normally follow boxing at any level, I'd be lying if I said I had no interest at all in recently reading/hearing about the star of the Philippines, Manny Paquiao (who just won the WBO welterweight title against Miguel Cotto and solidified his stature of the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, in case you have no clue as to what I'm talking about). In fact, I may or may not have walked around the house this weekend imitating (what I believe to be) finesse boxing moves and chanting "Pakyaw! Pakyaw! Pakyaw!", all to some amusement from my lone roomie a/k/a husband.
So for the moment I'm going to reserve my comments about the blood sport and exert a little silly Filipino pride, even as the spotlight on Manny shines a bit on Filipino politics and certain less than desirable areas in my parents home country.
Who's next??!?
