Pinoys tweeted that Margarito has become a “Maga-rito”. Maga for swollen and rito for pointing to a certain location.

What we didn’t know amidst the celebration was that Margarito was rushed to the hospital for fractured orbital bone and surgery has been scheduled.

Of course, these sportsmen have Medicare plan for situations like these but there have been other lesser known boxers whose lives were cut short because of more serious injuries and that is indeed very sad.

I hope Margarito will be fine after the surgery.

Running is perhaps one of the least expensive sports there is, for a beginner . All you got to do is get a good pair of shoes plus clothes that will not feel heavy and make you sweat buckets, you are good to go.

Investing on a good pair of athletic shoes like mbt shoes or running-specific shoes is a good move.

One can get those wrist watches for time, heart rate monitor, running GPS/camera/camelbacks, music players, sunglasses, at a later stage. This is just my opinion though.

You can run a few blocks in your neighborhood early in the morning or early evening, or even during weekends, no need to pay for any membership fees. Be careful with stray dogs though

You can read a lot of websites, talk to people who are into the sport and even join running clinics.

There is a website that lists the schedule of marathons one can join. It is no surprise that two-three or even more are happening every week.

Why, there is even a website that lists the songs in the play lists of runner.

Talks to self: “So, wake up early, gear up and go!”

Having a degree in Psychology and an almost completed graduate degree in another field, I have wanted to learn about organizational leadership. Reading further about this, I have been looking for an Organizational development university offering the course. I have to look for a local university of course for convenience.

Anyway, I reviewed the course being offered and I became interested further more about it.

forge alliances

build hope and contagious confidence

inspire a shared vision

turn details into action

think creatively

The above made me convinced that this is not just a “stepping stone” course but something that will also promote more self-confidence and the ability to understand the different perspectives and the changes happening around us.

Boooo! to Kanye West for that uncalled for and rude behavior towards teen Taylor Swift during the MTV VMAs last Sunday. Taylor, go girl!

Crass behavior is something that turns people off. If KW lives in another country, maybe he should start contacting long distance movers before an angry mob get him at his home, lol.

Dissing other people in front of millions of spectators is not just crass, uncalled for and rude, it is downright barbaric and savage.

Clearly, good breeding can’t be bought.
