Pssst... I'm Back!!!! =) - NΘYPï GuAM

Yup, I'm back, and yes I'm ok thanks for asking! ;)

I'm not going to make a lot of excuses for my extended absence, I will just say that 2008 was a really bad year for me especially during the latter part of the year, so let's just say that I had very important things to tend to, .. yeah let's just say that and hopefully you'll understand. =)

Well it's been awhile since I've posted obviously but I want to assure you that I will try to post at least once a week if my schedule will permit it.

A lot has happened since I last posted, the price of the dollar and the price of gas has gone up and down and unfortunately the only thing going down consistently lately seems to be our 401K! =P' Someone wise once told me that you are not supposed to watch your 401K and that eventually it goes on an upward trend, over the long haul. I try not to look at it and think about it too much but sometimes I can't help it, and in this market,.. Holy Cow I feel like I had better chances of making money by buying a couple thousand Lottery Tickets! Then again,.. I'll just let it be cuz whatever will be will be right?

Recent happenings on Guam that I would like to note are the recent openings of 2 National Restaurants that I would like to share my thoughts on with an honest review from yours truly the next time I post.

A pinoy of note to me would be the NBA's Miami Heat Coach Eric Spoelstra. I had mentioned him on this blog even with a picture when he was first announced Coach and here we are approaching the Playoffs and it looks like the Miami Heat are going to the Eastern Conference Playoffs! Go Eric! Mabuhay ka! If you read this can you bring me over for a playoff game or two? ;) Sige na Pare koy! =)

Again, it's good to be back I hope to get some good comments from you guys soon! Keep checking back for updates!

Boston Celtics appreciate Filipino Boxer too!!

Unang una, Go Pinoy!! =D

Ok, obviously you all already know about Manny moving up to another division by gaining 5 pounds and beating the Champ and all that Jazz, what you might don't know that I think you'll find cool is that the NBA Champs Boston Celtics are Manny fans too!! THAT IS STRAIGHT SICK, in a good way of course. Manny is putting Filipinos on the Map fo Show!! This says a lot about the Celtics too, I think more and more Filipinos are going to become Celtics fans after this. There are still a lot of people in the world that look down at us, but the fact that these NBA Champs are showing appreciation for our boy Manny,... WOW. SWEET. ;)

Half Filipino Erik Spoelstra named NBA's Miami Heat Head Coach

Another Pinoy-Blood makes it into the Big-Time. With Coach Pat Riley stepping down and retiring from coaching, he announces that the new Head Coach will be 13 Year Miami Heat Associate and Assistant Coach Erik Spoelstra.

Here is the Story from Inquirer.net:

MANILA, Philippines—Filipino-American Erik Spoelstra has replaced Pat Riley as the new head coach of Miami Heat after the latter announced his resignation on Tuesday.

"I just want to let everybody know how excited and honored I am to be the next coach of the Miami Heat," said Spoelstra, who has worked for the club for the past 13 years. "I want to thank everybody for having the confidence in me to lead this team on the court and in the future."

Before he assumed his new post in the 2006 National Basketball Association champion team, the 35-year-old Spoelstra served as Riley’s assistant, training young players such as Dwyane Wade.

Spoelstra’s mother is a Filipino, the former Fe Celino of San Pablo City, and his father Jon is of Dutch-Irish origin.

Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to rant on about how our "Pambansang Kamao" made us Filipinos proud again yesterday by beating the pride of Mexico.

He even made us even prouder by showing us his Gentlemanly actions by taking Barreras cheap shot and not getting back at him.



Pacquiao represents what we Filipinos should be. He works hard to be the best at what he loves to do. He does not look at what someone else is doing, try to copy it and put someone else down hoping that it would help him be more successful. This is how some of our kababayans are which is truely a shame, which is why I hope that more of us act like as Manny does in the Ring.

Mexico might as well try to offer Manny Citizenship because they can't seem to beat him!! he he

Mabuhay ang Pilipino!! Tanggalin ang Crab Mentality, magtulungan wag mag-inggitan at magsiraan.
