"You guys are sooo busted!"

i wanted to take one before the day ran out.
he said i looked funny in pic#3.
i gave the mad-nostril-flare and cut him out in pic#4.
he said i look like candace from phineas and ferb.

Snoozefest 2010

ok, so this isn't my picture. but it cracks me up. i find it amazing that such a fun loving guy is such a killer in the ring. behind this exterior of a small, smiling gentle being is a BEAST. he is the embodiment of us as filipinos -- resilient, full of heart, deceptive in strength and intellect and you might get some centuries of colonization in there, but we will come through in the end with the biggest punches, please believe. oh, and we will come out singing when it's done. i love how manny continues to contest our society's hypermasculine notions around boxing, competition, sport and especially around asian men. he's a puzzle in so many people's minds, including a key sponsor who will remain nameless who are said to be incapable of wrapping their minds around this guy. they just don't get him. well, folks. you don't have to. i get him, and so do the millions of his fans, filipino and non. if the red queen had the option, i bet she'd pick pacquiao over alice, and he'd give that jabberwocky a hug right before knocking his dragon ass out cold.

he's proud of how strong he's getting. so he jumped up in the middle of dinner and started doing pushups to prove it.
