Nonito knocks out Arce At Third Round

(Filipino Flash) Nonito Donaire hits the knockout clock at 2:59 of third round, Arce helplessly overpowered. A comeback for the Filipinos from last week's despair. It was an intense fight, where Nonito being calm with no rush, studying his opponent, setting the pace of all three rounds, having the right time to strike. There he has it, WON and sending Arce for an early retirement.

Fallen Pacquiao but still Filipino's Pride

Pacquiao vs Marquez

We can't deny the fact that not all who goes up, doesn't go down. We've seen through the match that Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao gave his all, that goes the same in all his matches of course. This time it's different with the 2nd losing streak and is knockout at the 6th round by Juan Manuel Marquez. Many were disappointed, many lose bets, and many were sarcastic on this knockout loss of pacman. It was maybe overconfidence or expected that Pacquiao will win this fight which was a 4th rematch of Pacquiao vs Marquez, standings where 1 draw and 2 wins in favor of Pacman and just now a 1 win for Marquez for winning this fight.

For me Pacman has proven and given a good lesson that in every struggle their is always a good outcome. He is still a hero by example a good role model for us filipinos.

A New Blessing

November 27, 2012, a newborn gifted to our family, my first Filipino-Canadian neice, Shantel. It was hard and critical induced labor that happened, end up to Caesarian Section, my aunt did manage and said "it was painless and quick." Good Job to Grey Nuns Hospital: the doctors and nurses for their awesome service. Grandmom and Aunt were so happy.
