Look what I saw while shopping

It's a Friday, not a payday and it is gloomy.  Sad! With so many things going on, I needed a pick me up thing to do. I figured I'd go to Sears ( gasp!!!) and return the curtains and rods I picked. Since I practically found $25.00 while cleaning up... that's another story, I can spend it, maybe a pedicure or some such. Got some stuff at Juicy Couture, the twin bedsheets set I got is adorable. And no, it is not for my bedroom, for KC. Not in the mood to shop although I ended up spending way too much more than the 25 I intended, i tell you that!

But, look what I saw while roaming around the mall! Well, hello there Manny Pacquiao!

This is at the Champs Store, South Shore Plaza, Braintree MA

I am starting to take it personal, all of his fights end up on my weekend to work. Mind you I work once a month.

What's up with that MP logo/brand


Those damn muscles beat out a lot of boxing greats... de la Hoya, isdatchu?


You know what cracks me up? All the advertisement(s) on his trunks! CafePuro! That MP brand on upper right corner is wicked, meaning wicked ugly. Not very soothing to the eyes. Manny should hire a better PR manager who manages all these stuff. Someone who is business savvy but also creative and at par with the best people  in the industry. Manny, hint hint... ME!

Either way, this is a wonderful thing. Warms me up. I am so proud of him. He may have a lot of personal "issues", but he is a good boxer. One hell of a good boxer! he is dedicated and focused --- with a very generous heart if I may say.

I would have had a "jologs" moment if someone was willing to take a picture of me with this standee. Hahaaa! So there, very productive day. I went to the mall for a "pick-me-up" pedi and I got more than I asked for. The warm feeling I get every time a Filipino's great achievement is featured is an all time high. Yeah, I am a patriot... a Filipino patriot. In fact, one guy shopper came up to me and asked me if I was watching the fight and I said,  "of course" and he smiled thinking I must be a "stalker" of MP because I was taking pictures of a cardboard!

Manny Pacquiao against Antonio Margarito on November 13 will be a big day. Fight on MP, fight on Filipino.
