♪Happy ☼Birthday☼♫ to my Dad today!

Go, *Dallas Cowboys* this NFL ☼Sunday!

Cowboys Fans

Throwback: Papa Jun & I en route to our *Dallas Cowboys* game against the Philly Eagles during the ‘BOYS‘ first season at its new home field (then-Cowboys Stadium/now-AT&T Stadium)

Just like any fortunate child who has grown up with a father or paternal figure, I feel extremely †blessed† and grateful to still have mine as a constant part of my life.

Dad the DCC Fan

Throwback: Papa Jun & I have a good view of *America’s Team* and *America’s Sweethearts from 6 rows behind the end zone!

Papa Jun is one of the most well-rounded people who I know and admire:

Even as an adult, I still keep learning from my Dad, who always enlightens me everyday, through his example and his wisdom as a prayerful soon-to-be first-time grandfather with whom I attended Church today. Cheers, Pops!

Maligayang Bati, Papa Jun, at ♥Mahal♥ Kita!

Sports Sunday: There’s Something About Brett Favre

In ♥ & Soul, Community, Health, Home Sweet Home, Relationships, Sports, Sports Sunday, Technology, Travel, Weekly Wonders, What's Hot, Yours Truly on 07/19/2015 at 05:00

After the former Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets’ Brett Favre‘s on-and-off again retirement drama💔 ~ I mean, news📰 ~ I’ve missed seeing him on the field …

Until he returned to Lambeau Field🏈 for his induction into the Packers’ Hall of Fame🏆 yesterday!

SI July

More info in SI earlier this month! Gotta ♥love♥ this fellow Lab parent! 🏉📰📖🐶🐾

Highlights from Favre’s career, c/o 🏈NFL🏉

Aside from his 👊🏼grid iron💪🏼 persona, I still enjoy watching Favre on

  • Wranglers Jeans👖 commercials📺
  • There’s Something About Mary💽😅😹

Fun Favre Fact:

He’s a fellow †faithful† ☝🏼Catholic✌🏼!

  • When I sang in my Valley Church💒 🎤Choir, a ❄️Winter⛄️ 🐎Texan🏇🏽 from Wisconsin informed me that he stood by her during Mass🙏🏼 at her regular Parish, and he was way taller than her!
  • Soon after she shared with me her story, this sighting was published 📰

With so many candidates in the running for Commander-in-Chief, I propose

Great American🇺🇸 Brett Favre for 👔President! I’ll be your campaign manager!

Happy May the 4th be with You!

Princess Elaina

Monday’s multiple feature is about May days …

  • First, I traveled to SA for school and to meet with my esés for the game and fight*
Pinoy Pride

Pinoy Pride

*My remarks about Manny:

  • He has way more going on in his life than just being a fighter:
  1. He lives by his faith
  2. He is a hero to his family and my native country due to
  • his generosity from his earnings and
  • his political career

… while Fighter is the only identity that Floyd Mayweather has achieved:

  1. Professionally, obviously
  2. Personally ~ considering his history of violence

This self-proclaimed $Money$ was in it for

  • The title and to remain undefeated
  • $elfishly keeping his winnings

 

  • Before and after my trip back home, I had to celebrate May the Fourth be with You

First of all, in the wake of Nepal’s 🌏earthquake, let’s please render a helping hand! 👋

I’m relieved that my 🎓grad school classmate has survived and is seeking shelter donations! 💸

Next up on the international front, ESPN’s SportsCenter📺 featured my native country, the 🌴Philippines, in this exclusive 🎬documentary🎥 about Manny Pacquiao and his humble beginnings

… Just six days from the 2nd of May, when he finally fights👊 Floyd Mayweather this Saturday ~ after coming a long way from Mindanao to the Manila Bay into present day! ⚓️

Therefore, remember: Circumstances, such as socioeconomic status or being from a third world country, DON’T determine your success ~ willpower💡 does!

After covering Friday’s elementary school appaerance, I rooted on two of my special kiddos, who specifically invited me to show spirit!

1. First, I supported my *superstar* science student in his basketball playoff game
