if there is someone who will beat the denial queen status of someone i know (clue: station tower), then that would be how dodge-y Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is when it comes to battling it out with Congressman Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao, on the ring, of course.
and silence means no this time. Congrats, Gayweather Mayweather, you can finally have my tiara now. happy twirling!!
“Mayweather Remains Silent, Pacquiao Will Fight Cotto or Margarito”
As the deadline set by Top Rank big boss Bob Arum winded down and no communication Floyd Mayweather whatsoever, Arum said he is ready to move on and pit Manny Pacquiao with either Miguel Cotto or Antonio Margarito. Arum said that there are several reasons why Mayweather refused to fight Pacquiao, but highly renowned boxing promoter said that perhaps it is the current legal situation Mayweather’s trainer/uncle Roger is facing.
Among the two replacements, a Cotto fight has the high chances of happening as there are attractive variables that are involved in such mix. For one, Cotto’s WBA middleweight title on the line, which would present an opportunity for Pacquiao to extend his record to eight titles in eight different weight classes should he win. Arum also added that Cotto is now training under the guidance of one of the top trainers of the sport, Emmanuel Steward. With an expert boxing coach at his corner, Cotto is expected to be better now than the last time he fought Pacquiao.

Although Arum still plans to have Margarito face Pacquiao, there are several instances that might impede the fight such as the marketability of the disgraced Mexican boxer. The possible venue of the fight will also be a problem as Margarito is still not allowed
to fight in the United States. Arum said that if Pacquiao-Margarito happens, it is likely to take place in the Monterrey, Mexico.
Many fighters are also mentioned in the Pacquiao sweepstakes, including light middleweight contender Paul Williams. However, Arum said that while some of the other fighters mentioned are good boxers, they are not lucrative and will not generate the revenue of the same or near the magnitude of a Pacquiao-Cotto or Pacquiao-Margarito showdown.
frenemies!
i bought my copy of FHM July issue which also has the 100 sexiest women in the Philippines world.
it also has the FHM’s annual 100 SEXIEST supplement with it. and eto ang say ko…
dear Orman,
ang hirap hirap ng pinapagawa mo sa amin ha? kapang kapa na nga kami sa 100-word article, ginawa mop ang 200. di bale na, para sa yo to. nakailan ka na sa aking blog ha? lolz. anyways joke lang yon.
alala ko pa first time kitang nakita sa MBS 3. hindi ikaw unang lumapit na taga Gensan kundi ang kuya mong si Avel ang nageffort, in fairness. inintroduce niya pa ako sa lahat ng taga Davao and Gensan na bloggers. sensiya na din di ako masyadong golden friendship nung araw na yun. aside from the fact na 36 hours na akong gising nun, meron pang isang BLOGger na nagpapakacelebrity the whole time. i think kilala niyo na kung sino yon. eh di ka naman din golden friendship nun eh. first impression ko pa nga sa yo makyoray ka. leche di pala.
and alala ko pa na nag may i plugging my blog ka sa madla. napakamacho daw ng blog title mo. ganda ever so much pala ang name. macho nga. kasi nga macho, naintriga na din ako. kaya nagview ako after the summit and true to the word, macho nga. teka mahilig lang ako sa macho kaya ayan.
pero sa totoo lang, first impression ko sa blog, ika nga ng anak ni Samson sa Ex-Men “puros kabaklaan lang tay, eh!” pero di naman pala. may substance din ang blog na ito. nagbibigay ng tips, lalo na pagdating sa love at pagpapapogi. pag nagbabasa ka nito para kang bumalik sa High School at lagi kang nakikinig sa class clown niyo. masaya di ba? that is why this blog is so addictive!
kaya naman pag nababagot ako dahil sa problema at pagkatigang, i go na agad sa gandaeversomuch.com kasi marami akong natututunan duong puros kabaklaan. lolz.
o siya, may gagawin pa ako. kitakits na lang soon. paalam!

meet with Davao Bloggers and lunch in Ranchero Grill
arrived in Davao past 12.
a little tragedy happened: an oil spill occured at the back of the van. two containers of Mamsue’s Spanish Sardines cracked and the oil leaked along the area. so sorry sa nangyari..
but back to Ranchero in Davao. we had a little getting to know with the Davao Bloggers and ate a very sumptuos lunch full of seafoods. but since i cannot digest seafoods (except for fish), and unless i want to carry a “Hitch” face during the rest of the trip, i did stick with the meat.
here are some pics of the food we ate (courtesy of Chiq Montes)
kinilaw is yummy!
i think this is sinuglaw
this is my favorite Ranchero dish: the baby back ribs! super likey i had the whole dish… kiber ko sa iba magpakalasing sila sa seafood, basta ako, the baby is mine!
di ko to natikman… masyado na akong focused sa baby.
tinikman ko to since i am a big fan of bangus. but after nang natikman ko tong sinigang na bangus na may hint of shrimp, i ate the fish and set the soup aside. yummy ang fish ha?
kiver
and this garlic chicken is yummy too!!!
don’t worry about Ding. happy yan deep inside.
nagfefeeling socialite with this fruit juices *i remember, the waiter is nanginginig na because hindi tinantanan sa pagkuha ng pic. lolz*
yummy fruits for dessert!
after an hour or so, we had no choice but to leave Davao. yes, it was my first time in Davao and we had to leave soon for General Santos. oh well, more to come!
Davao – CDO Bloggers: one or two punds heavier each.
so if you are in Davao City, i highly recommend Ranchero Grill. it’s located in Tionko corner Arellano Streets, near Bagko Sentral. telephon numbers 225-1199 or 226-8679 and you can visit Ranchero Grill’s Facebook Page. and yes, thank you Ranchero for the lunch!
next stop – GENERAL SANTOS CITY!

Missy Bon Bon = Love + Best Gelato In Town
i remember back in 2006 i used to frequent this small gelato ice cream place in a small French Quarter called Aquitaine, inside the Busch Garden Theme Park in Virginia, where i interned. i sooo love their praline cream and butter pecan. sometimes, mega wish ako kung kelan ako makakatikim uli. anyways here’s a picture of me and my good ol friend Jona (miss you so) enjoying a humongous cone-full of carbs.
but now i do not have to go back there just to have a taste of heavenly sin (charut). for Missy Bon Bon offers you the best gelato in town and some other fresh, natural, and healthy goodies.
me and my fellow CDO Bloggers were invited by the owner of Missy Bon Bon, Sir Henrik Yu, to have breakfast a the said establishment. i did not hesitate to say no, because i am already a big fan long before they put up a bigger and more comfortable place in a more strategic location. i was a constant customer whenever i pass by their kiosk in the 2nd level of Big R. the gelato are simply tempting.
apparently, i am not the only one who thinks they have best gelato in town. just look at this photo of their store opening: people are already lined up. i think this is a first here in CDO (if i am not mistaken)
and now that they have more goodies to offer i did sample a breakfast meal. i ordered a chicken sausage breakfast meal (is it correct?) i truly love it.
rosanna’s ham breakfast
who had tower of pancakes for breakfast?
even the fruit juices are better here.
the spot i love the most about this place is this sunny corner right here.. i just love how bright it can get but it wont hurt you. plus i love the cozy, French-y feel of this place. it feels like i am in some street bistro in some French Town.. like Aquitaine!
i got the chance to talk to Sir Henrik and i am surprised that the food and pastries they serve here are all natural, fresh and healthy. bottom line – you are guilt-free in this place. also, he mentioned about how he supports the local products. for example, they use coffee products that are produced by the monks in Bukidnon (Monk’s Blend - popularized by designer turned monk Gang Gomez – i remember now).
more goodie pics
love this..
the best: gelato department! lolz
so many flavors to choose from. but my favorite ever is the blueberry cheesecake (top left. i know you can’t see it clearly, paubos na) then i was told the the blueberry cheesecake is their best seller. another favorite of mine is the tiramisu. (no pictures for that – sorry)
over-all my breakfast at Missy Bon Bon was a delight and i would definitely go back there for more of their food and most especially more of their best gelato. hey, already a fan! go and visit Missy Bon Bon Breadshop located at the corner of Rosario Drive, LimKetKai Center, Cagayan de Oro City (atbang sa McDonald’s Ketkai, layu ra sa Bugo). or vist Missy Bon Bon website
.

in my last post i mentioned about how an establishment kind of ruined our little get together and mini forum, right?
so here is my 10 peso bill..
i was there the whole time but i did not utter a word because i did not want to. i just did not want to. hehe.
but indeed Max’s Restaurant here in CDO is a failure when it comes to their customer service and not even their good food could spare it.
a fellow blogger of News and Government Issues wrote an entry about it.
