PACQUIAO VS MARGARITO TALE OF THE TAPE

Will the Miami Heat win the NBA title in 2010-11?

Henry Abbott, TrueHoop: There's no reason they couldn't. It's a one-out-of-thirty proposition. Which means you can be the best team in the NBA and still not make it out of random chance. It's like throwing a dart -- the best darts players in the world still miss quite often. So, if I had to bet on any single team I'd bet on the field.

But I assume they'll be able to get their hands on a center who can play reasonable defense and some shooters and say they'll be right there in the mix. They'll be there with the Lakers, Magic, Celtics and whoever emerges as the West's next big team with a real chance.

J.A. Adande, ESPN.com: No. Three is a great start, but it's not enough. Who will be their James Posey, their P.J. Brown, their Derek Fisher? Need some savvy vets and depth before I'm ready to proclaim them champions. Not better than the Magic yet, and the Celtics might be able to hold them off for a year.

Kevin Arnovitz, ESPN.com: Despite the fact that the restraints of the salary cap will force the Heat to assemble a menagerie of spare parts around their three superstars, they must be considered the favorites to win the 2010-11 title. Until further notice, NBA defenses are allowed only five players on the floor during live play. Miami will have three players who demand double teams when situated at their favorite spots on the floor. Even if the defense gives both minimum-contract players on the floor the full Rondo treatment, it can't possibly blunt a full assault from the troika. If that's not enough, Wade and James, at the respective wing spots, will compose the most stifling perimeter defensive tandem in the league.

Chad Ford, ESPN.com: I think they'll make it out of the East. Whether they can beat the Lakers remains to be seen. Clearly they have the best threesome we've seen in the league ... but until we know more about how the Heat can fill out the roster, it's premature. Good role players at the minimum are hard to come by. I expect Orlando and Boston to put some heat on them in the East. Possibly the Bulls, too, depending on how they fill out their roster. In the West, I think it remains the Lakers all the way.

John Hollinger, ESPN.com: Certainly they're contenders, but I think it's unlikely they'll actually win. The Heat will have to contend with two teams in particular -- Orlando and the Lakers -- that they seem unlikely to match up well against. Against Orlando, Miami has no size to contend with Dwight Howard, and in the past two postseasons the only teams that stood a chance against the Magic had seven-footers who could match up with the Magic's behemoth.

Against the Lakers, the Heat would have a shortage of quality depth in the frontcourt to match up with L.A.'s myriad weapons (Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom), and of course Ron Artest is about as good a LeBron James defender as you could design if you were building from scratch.

Chris Sheridan, ESPN.com: No, I do not believe so. I think Lakers still have enough to knock them out in a seven-game series, particularly because of the size factor. Miami can't match up with Gasol/Bynum, especially if Bynum is back at 100 percent. Kobe can lock up Wade, Artest can get into LeBron's head more than the video of that burning Cavs. No. 23 jersey did.

Marc Stein, ESPN.com: No. Not unless you can assure me that multiple shooters and two serviceable big men are on the way in a hurry. But I give Pat Riley great odds of ultimately doing far better in his search for players to take low-dollar contracts than a lot of people expect, because he frankly deserves the benefit of the doubt after the coup he just pulled off.

Let's face it: No one in Miami is going to get a grace period after this saga, least of all LeBron. He just invited new levels of scrutiny for the rest of his career ... if that's even possible. But what was Riley supposed to do? Say no to a trio of Team USAers who are all under 30? You sign the three stars, then worry about the rest. If they haven't won it at all after two seasons, then start worrying.

SHADE THE NUMBER 8!

Forgot to Live!

First I was dying to finish my high school and start college
And, then I was dying to finish my college and start working and earning
Then I was dying to marry and have children
Then I was dying for my children to grow old enough for schooling
Then I was dying to educate them. They're now well accomplished
But then I was dying to retire
And, now I'm dying
And suddenly I realized that I forgot to live

To make money we lose our health
And then to restore our health we lose our money
We live as if we are never going to die
And we die as if we never lived

Do appreciate your current situation and enjoy each day.
Do take good care of yourself as no one else is there to care for you.

Hay! Buhay Dubai Talaga.

Lahat ng sinabi dito nakakatuwa at totoo, tiyak makakarelate ka.

Akala ng mga tao na nasa Pilipinas kapag nasa Dubai ka ay madami ka ng pera ng langis. Ang totoo, madami
kang utang dahil credit card lahat ang gamit mo sa pagbili mo ng mga gamit mo. Kailangan mo gumamit ng credit card kasi naubos na ang cash na pinadala sa Pinas,
kasi pag hindi ka nagpadala, iisipin nila nakalimutan mo na sila.
Akala nila mayaman ka at marami kang pera kasi buwan-buwan libo-libo padala mo walang palya at kapag pumalya iisipin nila baka nagbisyo ka na o may sinusustentuhang iba. Hindi nila alam food allowance na lang ang natitira sa'yo at pag kinulang pa umuutang pa at lista muna sa malapit na bakala.
Pag may okasyon sa Pinas (birthday, fiesta, anniversary, pasko, new year, at iba pa) padala ka agad panghanda. Sarap ng kainan nila, di nila alam ikaw tiyaga sa budget meal, kabsa, noodles o de lata at itlog na nakakabutlig na ng balat. Hay naku! Akala ni tatay, nanay, ate, kuya, anak, mga pamangkin at iba pa namumulot ka ng pera sa Dubai. Kada may problema text kaagad, kumusta sa una sa bandang huli kailangan lang ng pera! Hay naku…nakaka-alergic na ang text sa roaming - puro gastos…minsan padala ka pa ng load! Load mo nga utang sa Pana (Indiano)! Hay naku! Bakit ba nauso pa yan, dagdag gastos lang talaga at pag di ka pa nagreply aawayin ka pa!
Akala nila masarap maging OFW at tinatawag na bagong bayani….naku, mas masarap pa yung nasa Pinas na sa katas ni bagong bayani ay s'yang umaani! Utang sa Dubai lalong dumarami.
Akala nila masarap sa Dubai, 'di nila alam 'di ka na nga makauwi kasi roundtrip tiket kina-cash pa mapadala lang at ibayad sa utang. Akala nila sosyal ka kasi de-kulay ng buhok mo uso pa at naka-highlight pa, di nila alam buhok mo namumuti na sa stress at problema at pag minalas nalalagas pa!
Akala nila masarap sa Dubai kasi pag-uwi mo mestiso ka, maputi at mamula-mula ang balat mo. Hindi nila alam babad ka sa opisina at kulong sa bahay mo dahil no choice ka, mga kapit bahay mo di mo kaano-ano, walang paki-alamanan at kung lalabas ka sunog ang balat mo, init ng araw sobra!
Akala nila mayaman ka na kasi may kotse ka na. Di nila alam hulugan pa ito! Ang totoo, kapag hindi ka bumili ng kotse sa Dubai
maglalakad ka ng milya-milya sa ilalim ng init ng araw. O kaya naman tiyaga kang mag –abang ng bus o carlift na ubod ng babaho ng mga pasahero at pagbaba mo amoy putok ka na rin. Grabe! Walang jeepney, tricycle o padyak sa Dubai ... madami mga Patan(Pakistani) at Pana na driver na ubod ng baho. 'Pag minalas ka, arabo na taxi driver na, rapist pa!
Akala nila masarap ang buhay dito sa Dubai. Ang totoo, puro ka trabaho kasi 'pag di ka nagtrabaho, terminated ka na gagawan ka pa ng kwento ng kapwa mo Pilipino.
Hindi ka pwedeng tumambay sa kapitbahay kasi baka maMotawa ka 'pag kasama mo ang syota mo. Pero madami pa ding matatalinong matsing ang nakakalusot. Nagpapagawa ng fake na papel para kunwari kasal. Isang malaking HAAAYYYY!!!
Akala nila malaki na ang kinikita mo kasi Dirham na sweldo mo. Ang totoo, medyo malaki 'pag pinalit mo ng peso, pero
Dirham din ang gastos mo sa Dubai. Ibig sabihin ang Dirham mong kinita sa presyong Dirham mo din gagastusin.
Ang P15.00 na sardinas sa Pilipinas ay DHS3.00 sa Dubai. Ang isang pakete ng sigarilyo sa Pilipinas P40.00, sa
Dubai DHS6.50. Alangan din namang puro cafeteria food ang kakainin mo, aba mamamatay ka sa highblood o hepa nyan kasi nga umaapaw na sa mantika, madumi pa! Kaya lang pag naubusan ka ng pera no choice you have to take the risk.
Akala nila buhay milyonaryo ka na kase ang ganda ng bahay at kotse mo, nag pa-lypo kay Calayan at nagparetoke kay Vicky Belo. Ang totoo nag-loan ka lang sa Mashreq, Firstgulf o Emirates bank na huhulugan mo ng limang taon. Ibig sabihin, alipin ka ng bahay mo, kotse mo at ng luho mo at ng bansang ito. Kasi nga magloan ba naman dahil sa luho. Bwahahaha!
Madaming naghahangad na makarating sa Dubai dahil mahirap maging normal na manggagawa sa Pilipinas. Madalas pagod ka sa trabaho. 'Pag dating ng sweldo mo kulang pa sa pagkain mo.
Hindi ibig sabihin Dirhams na ang
sweldo mo ay yayaman ka na. Kailangan mo ding magbanat ng buto para mabuhay ka sa ibang bansa.
Isang malaking sakripisyo ang pag-alis mo sa bansang sinilangan at malungkot iwanan ang
mga mahal mo sa buhay. Hindi pinupulot
ang pera dito o pinipitas o iniigib. Hindi ako
naninira ng pangarap, gusto ko lang
buksan ang bintana ng katotohanan. Mahirap mangibang bayan...manilbihan sa dayuhan at malayo sa pamilya.
Hangga’t may OFW at nangingibang bayan ito'y simbolo ng ating kahirapan. Kawawang bayan ni Juan, patuloy na mapag-iiwanan.
Kaya Juan, iwan ka ng pera para sa'yo para sa kinabukasan mo.

10 Essential Health Tips

(The Basics to Practice Every Day)

He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything." -Arabian Proverb

1. Move More
Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster. Think 'move' in small increments of time. It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But that's great when you're up to it. Meanwhile, move more. Thought for the day: Cha, Cha, Cha…. Then do it!

2. Cut Fat
Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise. Thought for the day: Lean, mean, fat-burning machine…. Then be one!

3. Quit Smoking
The jury is definitely in on this verdict. Ever since 1960 when the Surgeon General announced that smoking was harmful to your health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products that kill. Just recently, we've seen a surge in smoking in adolescents and teens. Could it be the Hollywood influence? It seems the stars in every movie of late smoke cigarettes. Beware. Warn your children of the false romance or 'tough guy' stance of Hollywood smokers. Thought for the day: Give up just one cigarette…. the next one.

4. Reduce Stress
Easier said than done, stress busters come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like. (i.e.,Soak in a hot tub; walk on the beach or in a park; read a good book; visit a friend; play with your dog; listen to soothing music; watch a funny movie. Get a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your temper or getting aggravated. Avoid difficult people when possible. Thought for the day: When seeing red, think pink clouds….then float on them.

5. Protect Yourself from Pollution
If you can't live in a smog-free environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms, high traffic areas, breathing in highway fumes and exercising near busy thoroughfares. Exercise outside when the smog rating is low. Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good. Plant lots of shrubbery in your yard. It's a good pollution and dirt from the street deterrent. Thought for the day: 'Smoke gets in your eyes'…and your mouth, and your nose and your lungs as do pollutants….hum the tune daily.

6. Wear Your Seat Belt
Statistics show that seat belts add to longevity and help alleviate potential injuries in car crashes. Thought for the day: Buckle down and buckle up.

7. Floss Your Teeth
Recent studies make a direct connection between longevity and teeth flossing. Nobody knows exactly why. Perhaps it's because people who floss tend to be more health conscious than people who don't? Thought for the day: Floss and be your body's boss.

8. Avoid Excessive Drinking
While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day (two for men) can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney disease and cancer. Thought for the day: A jug of wine should last a long time.

9. Keep a Positive Mental Outlook
There's a definitive connection between living well and healthfully and having a cheerful outlook on life. Thought for the day: You can't be unhappy when you're smiling or singing.

10. Choose Your Parents Well
The link between genetics and health is a powerful one. But just because one or both of your parents died young in ill health doesn't mean you cannot counteract the genetic pool handed you. Thought for the day: Follow these basic tips for healthy living and you can better control your own destiny.

Its Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14. It is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other; sending Valentine's cards, or gifting candy. It is very common to present flowers on Valentine's Day. The holiday is named after two among the numerous Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

The day is most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of "valentines." Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards The mid-nineteenth century Valentine's Day trade was a harbinger of further commercialized holidays in the United States to follow.The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas. The association estimates that women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines.

You think driving with your foot on the dashboard is cool
You find everybody thinks they can speak Englis'
You think "Bebsi" is better than Coke
You shake your empty Cappuccino cup when you've had enough
You think the hazard lights are fog warning lights
You still buy Dubai Duty Free's lottery tickets when it would have been cheaper to pay the down payment for the BMW instead
You think every single lady on the street is a prostitute.
You think every woman a abbaya is a morocan prostitute.
You can speak hindi and tagalog
You look forward to rainy days.....
