Manny Pacquiao on TIME Magazine Cover
On the heels of his first primetime television appearance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live and his recognition as a 2009 Gusi Peace Prize laureate, boxing phenom Manny Pacquiao now finds himself on the cover of TIME Magazine Asia edition as part of a five page feature story on the boxing Champion that will be included in all editions (global and US market) of the magazine hitting newsstands this weekend. With the population of Asia being the largest in the world, Pacquiao is overwhelmed with the idea of so many people seeing his face on the cover of such a prestigious magazine.
“I absolutely had no idea that when I started my career in boxing, to provide a better life for myself and my family, that I would now be where I am today and on the cover of TIME Magazine,” said Pacquiao. “A fighter’s dream is to win a world title and gain financial stability. But what is happening to me now is the most humbling experience of my life. It is a great honor for me to be the face of my people and to let everyone know we are a small but mighty country. I have great pride for all of the Filipinos living throughout the world and it is these people that I fight for each and every time I step into the ring.” (Fightnews)
Breastfeeding...
aaaaagain. I feel an incredible amount of guilt because I’m on the verge of giving up. The breastfeeding relationship just isn’t going so well and I’m about to lose my mind waking up every 2 hours, sometimes less, constantly over and over again without any kind of break. Forceful letdown has caused so much problems and I can tell baby (and mama) are getting more and more frustrated with the feedings going so rough without any hint of light at the end of the tunnel. I hate that I feel helpless and so incredibly guilty for possibly not being able to go through with my intentions of exclusively breastfeeding for at least 6 mo even if I am going back to work soon. There’s so much pressure and the feeling of being unable to give “the best” to your child when you so desperately want to is devastating. But at least I tried (actually still trying). I will give it 3 more weeks and if things are still not improving, I’m switching. I still advocate for breastfeeding, but I advocate a healthy, thriving baby even more.
Sad, Hairless Bear Is Sad of the Day: Leipzig Zoo vets have been unable to determine what caused Dolores (above) and all other female Spectacled Bears in captivity to suddenly go bald.
From the Daily Mail:
Some experts believe it could be due to a genetic defect though the animals do not seem to be suffering from any other affliction.
The bears, which originate from South America, normally have fluffy dark brown fur and would now be growing a thicker fur coat to keep warm during the winter.WEIRD. Maybe it’s because… they’re in captivity.

I don’t know how to control my candy eating during Halloween time after all these years. And then I end up throwing up brown foam, LOL.
Reason I SMH @ my boyfriend #32)
He threw garbage into the recycling bin at our apartments and the landlord warned him about it. They knew it was him because of a receipt that had his name on it. What a stu.

The toilet cannot handle my crap and I don’t know how to use a plunger. Plus, I called the plunger a plumb out of absent mindedness
