Written by Ms. Confuse on Sunday, September 07, 2008

Filipino cue artist Iris Rañola won the Arizona Women’s Billiard Tour stop in Tucson, Arizona by beating Emily Wilmoth of the US. A report posted on BilliardPhilippines.com said the Zamboanga native scored 7-6 against Wilmoth and came out as the top winner among 26 competitors. National coach Boyet Asonto said the two pool players battled each other to a 4-4 tie before Wilmoth called for a break. When they returned, Wilmoth surged ahead by two racks.

Rañola bounced back to take the next three and won the game. The Filipino pocketed the $500 top prize. Rañola defeated American Michelle Micik, 7-3, on her way to the finals. Wilmoth also beat Micik, 7-4, to arrange a titular showdown with the Filipino. The Filipino is coming off a runner-up finish in this year's WPBA US Open 9-Ball before competing in Arizona.

Pacquiao to undergo most grueling training vs De la Hoya

Written by Ms. Confuse on Saturday, September 06, 2008

World Boxing Council lightweight champion Manny Pacquiao is set to undergo perhaps the most grueling training in his boxing career for his December 6 fight against the much bigger ten-time world champion Oscar de la Hoya. The Filipino boxing champ said that prized coach Freddie Roach has already prepared their training strategy in anticipation of the mega-fight, which is slated to be held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. “May ibang style at tactics na ipi-nrepare si Freddie Roach ara sa laban,” said Pacquiao. However, he declined to reveal their training plan to media citing that the fight is still months away. Pacquiao is expected to fly to the US this month to train at Roach’s Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles. He also said earlier that the de la Hoya bout will be his most difficult fight in his stellar career.

Roach, however, knows the kinks in de la Hoya's fighting style since he trained the fighter against Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mayweather Sr. out as de la Hoya’s trainer?
Coach Floyd Mayweather Sr., who was earlier tapped to train de la Hoya for a rematch versus Mayweather Jr., looks like he won't be involved in the De la Hoya-Pacquiao bout. A report posted on IronBoxing.com said, the trainer has not heard from de la Hoya since he fought Steve Forbes last May. “I haven’t spoken with Oscar since around the Steve Forbes fight. I got to do what I got to do. That’s good for myself and my family,” said Mayweather Sr. Mayweather Sr. was supposed to train de la Hoya against the younger Floyd. The fight, however, was cancelled when Mayweather Jr. decided to retire. Mayweather Sr. now trains IBO light welterweight champion Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton for his fight against IBF king Paulie Malignaggi on November 22. However, if de la Hoya decides to retain his services for a coaching job against Pacquiao, Mayweather Sr. said he would have to train the boxing star with Hatton. “We can all go to Big Bear and we can all work together. I’ll train both of them at different times and we’ll all learn from each other and we can all go on runs together,” he said.

My sweet tooth

Written by Ms. Confuse on Friday, September 05, 2008

When I was a small girl , I like candy very much. I wish every day I can eat candy and have a lot of stocks at my home. ha..ha..My mom told me not eat candy too much because my teeth would be broken..but I don't care...It is very funny...but I think all children must like candy too.
So now when I looked at this bulk rock candy site...the candy is still exciting me... because I see the old fashioned crystal Rock Candy on a stick and rock candy on strings or some call it rock candy suckers at this site. I read that this candy always begins with a crunch and ends with melted mouth-watering sweetness.
My favorite one is Rock Lolly Assorted, it is so beautiful on a stick and the taste is great. I see this one is so good if I buy it and send to others as a gift when I go to my friends house. Or it is great too if there are a birthday party for the kids . And I see that this product have a certified Kosher Parave under the strict supervision of OK laboratories. So this product is save for every children.

Windfall continues for RP wushu team

Written by Ms. Confuse on Friday, September 05, 2008

The windfall continues for the Philippine wushu team following the successful stint at the special demonstration event at the recently-concluded Beijing Olympics. Team member Willie Wang, 24, has so far had pocketed P6 million worth of bonuses for winning the gold medal in the nanquan or form event of the demonstration sport. He also received P5 million from Malacañang, aside from the P500,000 given by First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo. Beverage giant San Miguel Corp. (SMC) also handed Wang a P500,000-check Wednesday as a tribute to his success. Asked what he is going to do with the money, Wang said, "Bibili naman ako laptop para sa sarili ko and cellphone para mamagamit ko’t makapag-Internet. Kasi minsan nag-iisa ako [kapag nasa-training]”.

SMC also awarded other members of the team who won medals in their respective events. Combat event silver medalist Mary Jane Estimar received P250,000, while bronze winners Marian Mariano and Benjie Rivera got P125,000 each. Despite their exclusion from the Olympics’ official medal tally count, the success of the national wushu team provided the country the much-needed consolation following the Philippines' failure to win a medal from official sporting events
