New York Yankees Parade 2009

After the New York Yankees took home their 27th World Series title by beating the Phillies, its home town New York City is set to hold a festive welcome and a parade for the baseball champs on Friday morning.

The victory parade for the Yankees 2009 is said to be hosted by the city of New York with its reelected Mayor Bloomberg sending his congratulations.

The ticker-tape parade 2009 for the New York Yankees “will begin on Broadway at Battery Place at 11 a.m. and continue uptown along the Canyon of Heroes to Chambers Street. Then, a ceremony will be held at City Hall Plaza, where Mayor Michael Bloomberg will present the Bronx Bombers with the Keys to the City.”


The ticker-tape parade for the New York Yankees this year is expected to draw out millions of fans and New Yorkers on the streets to welcome their hometown heroes in a festive celebration while the city will provide giant TV screens for other spectators to see the ceremonies from there.

I have been an avid fan of the Yankees and since I was small have worn caps and shirts with Yankees logos in them. Hope to have that rare opportunity to watch one of their games even if it is not a World Series Championship.

Pacquiao Vs. Cotto Fight

Pacquiao vs. Cotto fight scheduled on November 14is taking a big hype now. Not only for bettors who are seeing a big pay day after the fight with Manny Pacquiao being predicted to triumph over Miguel Cotto.

It is not only bettors who are happy with this dubbed as fight of the year and a historic opportunity for Pacquiao to gain 7 belts under different weight classes by getting the job done against Cotto, but also a big day for bloggers especially those are who are into SEO or search engine optimization.

I tried to look over Big G today and just do darn curious of who is on top and I saw that many bloggers are having fun doing the game trying to optimize Pacquiao vs. Cotto and the live streaming of the fight.



While bloggers are doing their craft to also earn big time from this mega-fight of the People’s Champs Manny Pacquiao, legislators of the Philippines has sped up like bullet trains to exit the country and leave all their legislative responsibilities to go Vegas and watch the fight. This inspite of the recent tragedies our nation has experienced. And that Pacquiao vs. Cotto fight have already triumphed by exposing those politicians who are not only out rightly insensitive to the plight of their countrymen but are also damn greedy public servants.

Read article here about legislators going to watch the Pacquiao vs. Cotto fight.

Whoever wins the fight, it surely be a blockbuster that Dana White of UFC has to rethink his strategies and that boxing is not yet dead.

But of course I would still personally want to see Manny triumph over Cotto. And it will be historic not only for him but for the whole nation.

Rodell Vareen Imprisoned After Having Sex with a Horse!

No crime goes unpunished; even the most mind-boggling crime one could ever imagine.

As I went over HuffingtonPost, I came across their article about Rodell Vareen being sentenced to spend his time in jail for three years for having sex with a horse! You read it right, having sex with a horse! And it was already the second time in two years that he abused the creature that deserved him the punishment rendered on him by the court.

21-year old Sugar (the name of the horse) must have been so irresistible for Rodell Vareen that he assaulted the horse that made its owner suspect something was wrong with Sugar.


Her horse showed erratic behaviors and experienced infections that her setting up of a surveillance camera on the her barn revealed the ugly acts of Mr. Vareen of having sex with her horse.

Aside from three years of being in jail, Rodell Vareen is also prohibited never to go near the stable where Sugar's owner caught him having some steamy activities with the poor horse.

And this is what Rodell Vareen could say after hitting it with a horse, "I'm sorry about what I've done. I didn't mean to do it. It's my fault. I'm sorry for what I've done to myself."

This guy is certainly going nuts!~

Hindi Ka Nag-iisa Lyrics

This is the lyrics of the song Hindi Ka Nag-iisa sung by Regine Velasquez and Ogie Alcasid for the Political Advertisement of Noynoy Aquino.



“HINDI KA NAG IISA”
Composed by: Ogie Alcasid
Sung by: Regine Velasquez

Sasamahan ka namin
Kahit paligid ay madilim
Iilawan ang daan tungo sa magandang kinabukasan.
Ika’y mamuno,kami ay susunod
pagkakaisa’y ating itaguyod
ang Pilipinas ay naghihintay
handa kaming kumilos,handang umalalay.

Hindi ka nag-iisa
sa paggising ng bayan
kami ay kasama,hindi ka mag-iisa.
Isasapuso ang dangal ng ating bayan
Sa tulong at biyaya ng maykapal

Magkakapit bisig,tayo…
ituloy natin laban ni Ninoy at Cory,
Nang bawa’t mamamayan
pagmamahal natin sa bayan
‘wag na nating itago, ‘di tayo susuko

Hindi ka nag-iisa
Sa paggising ng bayan
kami ay kasama,hindi ka mag-iisa
isasa puso ang dangal ng ating bayan

Sa tulong at biyaya ng maykapal
Magkakapit bisig,tayo…
Sama-sama bawat Filipino
Mula noon,ngayon at kailan pa man
hindi ka nag iisa……
