Merry Christmas

I am an ARTIST.....

DISCLAIMER: I do not own this image. I just got it from my friends in facebook who reposted it so credit goes to the owner of the picture.

Okay so my take on this one....

-Yes I agree we do have bills to pay just like those expecting it from us.
-What we do is not very easy and we definitely have the skills & talent to get paid for.
-And we have our own time to take care of so asking for our time may also require something in return

But I also want to ask and make a different comment as well about this one especially for those who do not know much very well....

-How exactly good are you?
-Are you saying or (re) posting this just because your a graduate of an art course?


Unfortunately not all and probably not most graduates whether fresh or not can expect much easily.

You may need experience and/or sometimes credentials to ask for what you want or expect.

That's all for now.

NBA FINALS 2011

Another finals appearance for the Miami Heat. Looking forward to cheer on them again. My little POV about the finals... can be anybody's ball game. I doubt experience (mavs are heavily favored for experience) will be a factor since Miami's big three are already veterans in the league and are members of the USA dream team, and they already shown how well they play as a team during the playoffs.



HEAT'S ADVANTAGE
Without a question...the BIG THREE of course, you try to stop LBJ wade gets in the scoring party, you try to stop Wade then comes Chris Bosh. Plus the support of other players who showed big games in the playoffs.



MAVS ADVANTAGE
Blending well as a team. Dirk who can score inside and out and their shooters of course. They showed how tough they are against the lakers. The sweep really played a big factor and made a big impact on the MAVS.

As I mentioned it can be anybody's ball game. If both teams play well like they do in the playoffs this will make it a close and definitely interesting battle. I highly doubt this will end in game 4 or 5, cause that will be an upset, a much bigger upset for a lot if mavs wins in 4 or 5 games.

I'm just wondering if destiny will play a big role in this finals. Cause I've seen a lot of championship games and a lot of times no matter how good a player or a team is, they can still lose if they are not destined to win it.

One last thing, the way I see it, it's like a lose-lose situation for miami for critics opinion cause if they win people will say stuffs like "naturally, you have the big three", if they lose then they will say stuffs like "even with the big three you still lost". Well not being one sided on this one but maybe they should understand what basketball really is and how the game is being played. Anyway, I think one thing for the heat (especially for LBJ) is that it doesn't matter cause all he wants is a championship which a lot of NBA greats weren't able to achieve. That's all for now. GO HEAT!

Aftermath of Pacquiao vs Mosley

No details for the moment, I will just have a few things to say first... It would have been a KO win if pacquiao bombarded mosley after getting up from a knockdown in the 3rd round, but it seemed to me he wanted the fight to last longer so he gave a little more time for mosley to recover. One proof is touching of gloves after mosley got up from the knockdown. You don't see fighters do that against their opponent haha (or it's probably my first time to see someone do that).

Pacquiao vs Mosley

Another upcoming fight for Manny, this time against Sugar Shane Mosley. Former undefeated champion who also defeated Dela Hoya twice during their prime. But hey I'm not saying mosley is totally past his prime. His win against Margarito way back was impressive but it's still a big question if you ask me cause remember the plaster issue with margarito before his fight against mosley.... We see a demoralized Margarito coming into his fight against mosley.



As for Mosley against Mayweather back then, well I had my money on Mosley back then but I was surprised with the results. Well sorry I don't find Mayweather's performance impressive,instead I see a mosley who gave the fight cause seeing the first few 2 rounds it was clear mosley had the edge not just in terms of skills but strength as well, and yeah if he gave it his all Mayweather would have been KO'd. To lessen the details...reason behind it? Maybe they want Pac vs Manny to push through haha or they still want mayweather to remain undefeated. Anyway let's go to the real topic...

2 POV on my part:

Why I think this fight is cool....

Mosley KOing Margarito (after Margarito's impressive win against cotto). For an aging fighter like mosley beating a fighter in his prime, what could be more impressive. As for Mosley's last fight (against Sergio Mora), it is an unimpressive performance but it's still a possibility that he did not prepared well for that fight cause he thinks it's nonsense so there's a chance he trained harder for this upcoming fight against pacman.

Do I need to say more about Manny? Well he is still the current #1 pound for pound boxer in the world so that sez it all. Not being able to KO margarito...maybe it's something political like the longer the fight the more fans will enjoy it and/or a show of mercy towards maragarito hehe.


Why I think it's not that cool....

Sergio Mora's records are so unimpressive that if he faces pacman it's 100% obvious that pacquiao will KO him. But look at how mosley fought against mora...SUX!

Pacquiao is known as a KO artist but for me a Unanimous Decision win against a fighter we know he can KO is really unimpressive and makes me want to think if he is really losing his touch (KOing boxers).


Interesting Facts:
Cotto defeated Mosley via Uninanimous Decision, Margarito KO'd Cotto, Mosley KO'd Margarito, Pacquiao KO'd Cotto, Pacquiao defeated Margarito via Unanimous Decision.

All in all I'm still interested to see this fight. I'll just think of it as Mosley training harder for this one compare to his past fights and same thing with pacquiao. If this will be an all out fight with no political issues like longer rounds it will definitely be interesting.



Chances for an upset is still a possibility, it's true that age and boxing records like having more KO's can be a big factor but I've seen upsets before like Juan Manuel Lopez (Juanma) vs Orlando Salido, juanma entered the match with 30wins and 27 by KOs with no loss, while Salido has 35 wins and 23 by KOs but has 11 losses and 5 of those by KO. Juanma is still in his prime and is a much younger fighter but he lost that fight via 8 round TKO (altough it was an unecessary early stop by the ref but it was a bit clear that salido already has an 80% chance of winning that time). Another upset would be Nonito Donaire KOing Vic Darchinyan. Anyway back to pacquiao vs mosley....

Though I still think manny will have a bigger edge in this fight, it will not be an easy one for him cause Mosley is not someone who will backdown easily. (well if he does then shame on him).
