I went to my first Norfolk Admirals game (well, first hockey game, really) last night! Although we lost, I still had a fun time!

On a separate note, later that night, I met Jo Koy, a Filipino American comedian who you can often see on E!'s Chelsea Lately and a variety of other shows. He's such a nice guy! He performed at Funny Bone, and although I didn't get to see the show (it was sold out), I heard he did a really great job!

Check him out here.

This was the night of the Pacquiao vs. Cotto fight!

I never used to care for boxing, and I am not one who typically goes around saying, "Filipino Pride!" BUT I can honestly say that Manny Pacquiao truly makes me proud to be Filipino (not that I was never proud of my heritage before). I found this article on BBC (published right before he fought Hatton) and I think it does an excellent job describing just why he's such an icon to Filipinos.

It was such a good fight! TKO!
