Pacquiao - Marquez 4 Fight

Last Sunday's boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez  was indeed a defining moment to seal all speculations that Marquez was unable to beat Pacquiao. Although we were saddened by what happened to Pacquiao, we still consider it as one of his best fights. Manny is known for his powerful punches that he was able to showcase during the game, but, as what his mother said: " Manny is not made of steel, he is a human and he is my son. I took care of him and raised him to be a good person". This statement actually got me thinking. She was right, Manny is not a fighting machine. We were all saddened by the turnaround of the fight but hey, it's a game and everyone's bound to lose at times.

The fight ended up at round six after Manny received a blow near the jaw that shocked the world as he fell down for a knockout. Pacquiao went faced down and was motionless for a while, before eventually sitting up. Judges called a technical knockout and Marquez was eventually declared the winner. Marquez has also said that he believed he needed to score a knockout to put all speculations to rest.

Funny but if we try going back to their previous fights, photographers were able to catch a few techniques exhibited by Marquez (just reminiscing the old golden times). Here are some of the pictures from their previous fights...

Those pictures were actually the reason why they came up with a new shoe concept (which I dont think was ever considered by Nike) LOL!

Presenting the Pacquiao special edition Nike brand Boxing shoe!

Just for fun guys... LOL! =D

Congratulations to Juan Manuel Marquez!

How can you recognize your soulmate?

I was searching the web for some inspiring stories about Soulmates and I would like to share with all of you an amazing article that touched the very core of my being... =(

When you meet your soul mate, you don't recognize the face. You don't walk up to that person and know by looking at that person he or she is your soul mate. Many times you are brought together by circumstances that seem like coincidence. It's about a feeling of being awakened. For me, I was totally taken off guard and, at first, was totally thrown off balance...like the rug had been pulled from under my feet. It is like you were asleep until you were touched by that kindred soul and then you are awakened and nothing is ever the same again. You now know that life before was not life but a dim existence and that up until that touch life was OK. If your feelings are so intense that it scares you and you run away, it won't last. I tried it. It felt great but it was also scary. I had never felt like that before with anyone...ever. There will be no denying it; you won't be able to get this person out of your mind and your heart. He or she is part of you now and nothing will change it. The thought of them will send chills down your spine. You'll know that even if you are apart trying to deny the feeling NOTHING that happens will change the way you feel. Just the touch of their hand on yours gives you a feeling that cannot be described. Being in their presence will give you a feeling that is unparalled. This person never leaves your thoughts or your heart. It will feel like that person is somehow imprinted into you now. A part of you that will remain no matter what. I believe that soul mates exist on a higher level of love. There is a strong connection that is present that is simply just there. You can almost communicate with that person without even speaking. You cannot always be with your soul mate either which can seem like a really cruel joke or something. Your soul mate may be married or there may be other circumstances where you cannot be together. In this situation, life can be quite miserable but you can learn to live with it. I am trying to do that now. However, it is not easy at all. There is a strong sadness and feeling of emptiness if you cannot be with your soul mate. There have been many times that I wished I never met my soul mate but it was never up to me. It just happened like it was something that was supposed to happen even though we cannot be together. It is very difficult for me to understand that and I question why I had to meet this person that I cannot be with. Fortunately, for me, I am very busy and that helps some but sometimes I get this sinking feeling and almost physically sick at the thought of never seeing this person again. Even though I cannot be with my soul mate as a partner, I was able to be around him on a regular basis for a while. Just being around him was better than not seeing him at all. It's been over a year now since I last saw him. It is very difficult and there are days that I feel like a part of me has died. The lights have been dimmed. I've always been an upbeat person in general but there is a sadness that seems to hang over me many days even though most people don't know it. I've gotten pretty good at hiding it from strangers and co-workers but my friends and family see it. You will absolutely know without a doubt when you meet your soul mate. You may not know immediately what is happening but trust me, it won't take long and you will know. For me, I was not even looking or thinking along the lines of meeting someone, especially in the situation that I was in when I met mine. I felt kind of emotionally ambushed but it felt really good. I will never be the same as I was before. I am happy that I met him and I am sad that I don't get to spend time with him at all. I miss him terribly and would do just about anything to see his face again, and just have a conversation of any kind at all! Maybe someday it'll happen. I've accepted that it may not.

I Was trying to find the information of the author but it was unpublished... kindda sad but that is what life is...
