Fall at your own risk

Strangers - Friends - Best friends - Lovers

People say that this is the formula for a near-perfect relationship. 

When you start off as being friends then you get to know more about him/her while spending time together. Then you'll get closer to each other and the barkada starts noticing and teasing with the "uuuuuyyys" and "yiheeees" when they see you together.

It may be a good formula but there's a risk.

If things turn out well for your blossoming relationship then good, but when things go the other way it can be devastating not only for the two of you but for the entire barkada. 

There will be awkward times. 

The barkada will try to fix things and it can go either way.

Worst, conflicts between the barkada.

barkada tips: Friendship can either be a formula or a barrier but it's one of the best things the world can offer so don't waste it over a failed relationship.

Almost everybody is familiar with the word "friendzoned" and it's true that it happens because some people feel wrong about going into a relationship with a close friend because they treat each other like brothers/sisters.

Then later on realize that they have feelings for that person but it's already too late.

barkada tips: Though in the beginning, things will get really awkward but if you keep in touch and be casual with each other, things will go back to normal and you have a story to tell.

Love can be easy or complicated, it's up to you how you deal with it.

TBT: The Bulalo Team on Manny Pacquiao's loss vs Money Mayweather

It was really disappointing, we wanted a solid knockout victory, we wanted Floyd to be humbled but he still got or perhaps, ran away with the win.

We watched the fight at the Sulo Riviera hotel at Quezon city. It was a completely different experience for us because we're used to watching it on TV pay per view with a couple of beers, this time we were served like guests and there was food prepared for us, all we have to do was dig in.

For 1,200 pesos we were in for an exciting fight, a brunch buffet and cozy ambiance.

Food was great, there were a lot of choices but one of our members had a hard time eating because he was too nervous being an avid follower of the Pacman, he felt like he'll throw up before the actual fight starts though I kept on reminding him that he should get what he paid for "pare 1,200 yan".

The only bad thing in this experience was the loss and here's what we have to say about it:

It seems that Floyd is misleading boxing to disgrace and disappointment. Far from the Pacquiao's showcase of passion and love for the sport which inspired many around the world to box and squeeze not just the sweat and all, but to learn from it the value of discipline and joy in boxing which no amount of denomination would dare to purchase.

It was like the Zeus vs Atom fight from the movie Real Steel. No doubt Mayweather has skill but to win the fans' approval which I doubt is something that he really care about, you got to be more than just skill, you have to have the heart and the passion.

I don't know if Mayweather's antics is his real personality or something he created to give his brand the attention and promotion since all he care about is money but people don't like it and that's not how I like any professional sport to be treated. Manny's loss and how he accepted it just earned the pambansang kamao more respect than Floyd will ever had. Floyd may be the better boxer but Manny is the better person and still he is the people's champion.

We can't consider it as fight of the century, Pacquiao was injured and Floyd capitalized though we're not sure if he is aware of that fact. Everybody's saying that Floyd cheated but it was his gameplan, it was his style since he came into the boxing world, to hit and not to get hit, a win is a win no matter how he does it.

5 years ago I made a prediction that this fight will not be explosive to entice the boxing world. It will just be a typical 12 round bout Floyd Mayweather style which means not to engage especially against a slugger like Manny Pacquiao. He doesn't want to take that risk and he wants to get that title of the best pound for pound by dancing and avoiding an exchange and it actually happened yesterday.

But the world is not blind, if you know what I mean and if you heard the crowd's reaction.

I will just end this by saying, I will never acknowledge him for being tied with Rocky Marciano's record and I am just waiting for Floyd to retire and see the resurrection of boxing.

Boxing is dead.

Everybody has their opinion about the fight but one thing is for sure, We are still proud of our Pambansang Kamao!

Still our champ!

Even Iron Mike was disappointed
