I woke up at 6 am then after half hour I went back to bed. I woke up at 9:28 am. Ooopss I am going to watch the McGregor vs. Mayweather fight on cable streamed live from Las Vegas. My husband said I am so fond of watching boxing. Not really. Naki nood lang naman ako dati because of Pacquiao.
And the McGregor vs Mayweather fight is something new. A martial arts fighter vs. the world’s only non-defeated boxer. This time, just like many Filipinos, I am rooting for McGregor. If I were in Vegas, I would surely go and watch this fight in person.
Even if McGregor is doomed to lose this fight against Mayweather, I am hoping maka tsamba sya. That is like hoping that Mayweather will not unleash his deadly punches otherwise, tulog si McGregor, parang pinainom ng valium.
My only wish is he doesn’t get hurt so bad and he doesn’t lose his face by sleeping soundly on the floor.
It was 10 am when I went down to the lobby. There’s no more signs of Jolina. Mainam naman.
All tables and chairs were either occupied or saved by their companions.
I drank hot moringa tea while waiting for people to vacate their tables.
They said its going to start at 9 am but the main event started at 12 noon.
I spotted a reserved table close to the piano. I called the waiter if I could take that, he cleared it with the receptionist and gave it to me.
It’s too close to the screen. I saved it na while waiting for Edmund and Oyen.
I ordered Pinoy breakfast platter. It has bangus, longanisa, itlog, etc.
The platter comes with a choice of fresh juices. For a change, I picked fresh strawberry shake.
Hmm, pwede na. I drank half a glass.
Edmund arrived when I was done with my food. He ordered American breakfast.
I couldn’t finish the longganisa. When his plate arrived, I saw a row of longganisa neatly arranged on his plate together with a cup of fried rice.
I placed my left-over longganisa on his plate. “Tart, hindi ko na maubos, meron ka rin palang longganisa, isama ko na ito dyan”.
He took his fork and knife then it dawned on us that he ordered American breakfast, eh bakit merong longganisa at kanin?
We called the waiter. Ay, mali. That belongs pala to another table.
Ngee, I dumped the longganisa on that plate, Edmund removed it. Whoever ordered that food, he didn’t know that we contaminated it already with our DNA.
Oyen came and ordered strawberry waffle or is this pancake?
Here comes the fight. Demi Lovato sings America’s national anthem. Demi gets prettier and prettier as she gets older.
The commentator said Floyd Mayweather is fulfilling his $200,000,000 commitment. Wow that’s a lot of zeros.
Conor McGregor
Edmund relaxes while watching the mismatch fight.
McGregor got tired easily and that was what Mayweather was waiting for. A few jabs and cuts and Mayweather was declared TKO winner. Uwian na.
