my almost rotten pumpkin, Spooky It was on the night of my wedding six years ago when I attended my very first Halloween Party. I’d say it was very different from the way we celebrated it back home.

Once again, Pacquiao wins. Twenty minutes before the big fight, my brother asked me if I was watching the Pacquiao vs Cotto bout and if there’s a way for them to watch it too (they’re in the Philippines and they do not have cable connection).
