You know how exactly a chicken talks? Yes, they do! Peksman! Read along...
Mayweather hits out at Pacquiao
18 September 2011, 19:37
The prospect of a mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao seems as distant as ever after the flamboyant American's fourth-round knockout of Victor Ortiz.
Mayweather improved his record to 42-0 by taking the WBC welterweight title from Ortiz, but he was reluctant to commit to the showdown most fans want to see.
"I don't need Pacquiao," Mayweather, 34, told reporters after beating Ortiz in Las Vegas. "With or without Pacquiao, every time Floyd Mayweather goes out there, he's going to make over $70 million.
"I don't need him. Where was Pacquiao in 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 when I was dominating the game? He never asked me for a fight when I was in my twenties or when I was in my teens."
A duel between the defence-minded Mayweather and the aggressive Pacquiao, the two biggest drawcards of their generation, would decide the mythical title of the world's best fighter, pound for pound.
Five-division champion Mayweather had been expected to meet Pacquiao last year until negotiations collapsed over the American's demand for random drug testing.
Shane Mosley then stepped in to take the Filipino's place but was outclassed by Mayweather in a non-title welterweight bout in May.
Pacquiao is scheduled to fight Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez in November and, should he win that bout, there is speculation the Filipino southpaw could finally meet Mayweather next May.
However the American, who made a minimum of $25 million from his victory over Ortiz, repeatedly questions how Pacquaio could have won world titles in an unprecedented eight weight classes.
"Sugar Ray Leonard, we knew he was going to be great from his Olympic days," Mayweather said. "Michael Jordan, we knew from college he was going to be a great professional.
"Floyd Mayweather, from the beginning of his career in the '90s, we knew he was going to be a great professional. Now ask yourself, a fighter just don't get to 25 years old and all of a sudden he becomes great," he added, referring to Pacquaio.
Mayweather also criticised Pacquiao for riding on his coat tails financially and also with the selection of his opponents.
"Pacquiao is famous because he is attached to my name," the American said. "When they say Pacquiao, they say that's the guy they are trying to get to fight Floyd Mayweather.
"When they say Floyd Mayweather, they say the greatest ever. All Pacquiao is doing is fighting my leftovers.
"Before he goes about fighting Floyd Mayweather, he has to get his business in order. We're talking about a guy that gives up, when he fights, 30 per cent of his check to two different companies. I keep 100 per cent of the revenue."
For his part, Pacquiao continually defers any talk of a Mayweather mega-bout to his promoter.
"I'm not going to fight anybody as long as there is a problem with the decision of the promoter," the Filipino said earlier this year. "That's my promoter's job. I'm just a fighter to do my job and train hard for the fight."

I say, Mayweather should probably just get some orlando fishing guides and stop those nonesense trash talks. I guess the most realistic fight we could expect from Mayweather is his trash talks.

Miss Universe and "saluyot"
In case you haven't watched it yet, we were not able to bag the crown, but I think our candidate, Shamcey Supsup, did well. I wasn't able to watch the pageant but with Facebook and Twitter, it's almost I got a front row seat -- and also because of my officemates who, as I write this post, are discussing blow-by-blow the just-concluded Miss Universe Beauty Pageant.
Some, however, are saying there's something wrong with how the Q and A was conducted and graded. I wouldn't dwell into that, though, because I am not a Miss Universe expert. :-D Instead, I'll just share with you what my officemates think should be tried in the next round of Q and As in the pageant.
Some of the examples they mentioned:
1. If you were a cactus, why?
2. If you're going to die tomorrow, why not now?
3. Aside from your face, what's your problem?
4. If you were an animal, I pity you.
5. Differentiate auto rubber floor mat. Explain why. (Hahaha . Huwat?!)
Hehehe. Next time, they should get the likes of Conan, NPH, Jim Carey, and maybe Cee Lo as judges.

Oh, and the saluyot? Today is my Day 1. :-)

Of healthy diet and coincidences
So, this morning, I was bloghopping and saw this post (Thirty Days of Saluyot and Camote Tops) by Angeli. After reading it, I was so convinced I would try it. But then I thought, were will I get saluyot? Finding free camote tops is a walk in the park. Then, as if the universe conspired to make this thing happen, my mom (after talking to her friend on the phone) told me her friend will be giving us saluyot this Saturday. She said her friend has a lot of saluyot in her backyard. Wow!
Here's from Angeli's post:
Saturday will be my Day 1. :-)
For all of you who might be looking for appetite suppressants that work, well, look no more. Have a great week!
Here's from Angeli's post:
I started the saluyot and camote diet on a whim, unaware of the plethora of nutritional benefits such greens can provide. A few days ago I learned that saluyot and camote tops contain antioxidants and are rich sources of dietary fiber as well as vitamins A and E, calcium, folate, iron, niacin, phosphorous, protein and riboflavin.
Saturday will be my Day 1. :-)
For all of you who might be looking for appetite suppressants that work, well, look no more. Have a great week!

Preventive maintenance
All of us need to rest from time to time. Else, we'll just break down from stress and fatigue without any warning. So, last Friday, I took the day off (good thing my boss is really kind. And very awesome, too!) so my keyboard can take that rest. :-D
Oh, you thought I was the one who needed to rest? Hehehe. I brought my keyboard home with me so I can clean in up. And I really, really enjoyed doing it. Here's a set of pics I took when I dismantled (?) all the keys from board.
It's really fun! It keeps your mind away from major stresses in your life. Would you believe that I even played a game while cleaning? After I dismantled all the keys, I jumbled them up and tried to put them correctly back on the board.* I didn't miss a key. ;-)
*My friend said I am sick or something. I think she said I have demodectic mange symptoms, BUT after checking the net, I know that's not what she said. Hahaha! The sick part is the only one I think I remember correctly.

Noynoy and Coca-Cola
 |
| Always Coca-Cola! |
"My lovelife is like this famous softdrink: before, it was regular. Then, it became light. And now, it's zero."
Hehehe. Because of that joke, I actually wished him well. Hahaha. Happy September everyone!
UPDATE: Have you heard this rumor that the president is dating Izza Calzado? Wow! From Zero to Jackpot! I mean, Izza is... well, a jackpot, right?
Update to my UPDATE: Izza denied the rumors. Hehehe. Ok. So much for the jackpot. Sayang! Maybe the president should give up his smoking habit (e cigarette would do the trick, I guess?). Maybe it's a no-no to these ladies being linked to him. Just thinking out loud.
