Here is one article I've written recently: 98th Grey Cup in Edmonton, Alberta I hope you have time to read and leave your comments. Thanks.

Is Crying in a Man A sign of Weakness?

I am a sentimental person. I cry when I feel sad and frustrated. I cry when I am extremely happy, and I even cry just watching those tragic soap operas on TV.

When a woman cries, people say it's natural; that women are expected to cry. People don't see anything wrong when a woman cries.

But when a man cries, there are several notions about this. We often hear a mother say to her child " Don't cry , you're a big man now," implying to the child that big men don't cry;
or worst, we often hear young boys taunting each other - " You're a sissy, you're crying."



It is observed that men cry less often than women. This maybe because women are more emotional than men, or is it because people expect men to be less lachrymose and they have to live up to that image?

As for me, I believe that crying in a man, denotes just the opposite - that he is strong enough and sure of his manhood that is why he is confident to show to the world that he can feel; that he has emotions and that - he is human!

What about you?

If you are a man, why do you not cry often? or do you cry but you don't want to show the people around you? Why not?

If you are a woman, what are your thoughts about men who cry?

8th World Title for Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao

My sister placed her bet on Margarito but I placed mine on Pacquiao. The busy streets of Manila and in the entire archipelago will again be empty because of the 8th world title that Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is vying for tomorrow, November 14, 2010, Philippine date.

I have never been a boxing fan , but I started being a fan after watching Pacquiao decimate all his boxing opponents in the ring. I admire the man’s stamina, perseverance and determination. In spite of all the fame and glory he is earning right now, he still remains humble and God-fearing.

I am thrilled about the great event tomorrow. According to Reuters, this would be the WBC Welterweight Bout to be held at the Cowboys Stadium, Arlington Texas. Antonio Margarito of Mexico will try to redeem his title, while Manny Pacquiao will vie to capture his 8th world title.

I pray Pacquiao wins and I know all Filipinos are giving all their full support and prayers.
