a manny pacquiao versus erik morales sunday

i was planning on sleeping through this sunday to compensate for the the long stream of late nights and of course, for our recent northern road trip. but, woe of all woes, i couldn't sleep. everybody [the male population in our house, 2] was so excited about manny pacquiao's las vegas boxing fight with sumptin morales.. my manong was even asking about the possibility of calling the cable company for a pay-per-view service, just for this fight. anyway, it didn't push through since we were told that we had to do some stuff we didn't want to do at that moment. now, don't go imagining funny ideas there.. we were just to lazy to call and get the subscription number, etc etc. heheh

so, i called my brothers in vegas, who were about to go off from work early to watch this fight on cable{$50!!! wudja believveeee??}.of course i told them to give me "significant updates" as they happen. my kuya hurriedly agreed--he didn't want to waste time talking to me and miss out on some rounds or even a lucky punch, in the process..

he called me a bit later to inform me that the 4th round just ended and we have a bloody manny pacquiao in the ring.. it doesn't look good according to him.. i called the boys in the store to update them, but it didn't take long and my bro called in again to tell me that they were already in the 12th round--the decision round.. a few minutes later, the boys from the store called me and asked if the las vegas gringos had results already because a friend's relative texted to tell them that pacquiao won.. of course i called vegas again to confirm, but turns out, the mexican morales got the better of the philippine bet. maybe the person who texted the false announcement watched the pacquio-barrera fight.. or some other boxing personality.. i dunno.. oh well, i guess the philippine president who went to vegas just to watch this fight will be going back earlier than planned.. the whole nation will probably be grieving for a while over this-- as it is, many pinoys[me included] are now indoors, eagerly awaiting to see this fight....

don't think though that the boys downstairs are going to be content with this. of course they are already downing beers over manny "pacman" pacquiao's loss to mexico's "el terrible", and are now waiting to see the delayed telecast.. they can't rest not seeing why and how he lost.. and i can't wait to see their reactions and expressions when they do see the real thing.. good luck to them.. men, boys.. i can't see the difference now..
