I couldn’t believe my rotten luck.

First was the Manny Pacquiao-Oscar Larios fight at the Araneta Coliseum. Second was the PBA doubleheader at the Cuneta Astrodome where two semifinal series were decided in dramatic fashion. And third was La Salle’s come-from-behind thriller over San Sebastian for the Shakey’s V-League volleyball title at the Blue Eagle Gym.

If you ask Nick Giongco of the Bulletin, he’ll probably say we’re the Four Gladiators because of his love for boxing. If you ask Ernie Gonzales of the Inquirer, he’ll definitely insist we’re just four parbusters on the same flight because of his passion for golf.

As for me, we’re the Soulmates in Seoul.

Last Thursday, I flew to Hong Kong on the Philippine Airlines 8:10 a.m. flight with Inquirer columnist Al Mendoza and sportsman Go Teng Kok for a meeting with FIBA (Federation Internationale de Basketball) president Dr. Carl Men Ky Ching. Later that same day, we were on the PAL 9 p.m. flight back to Manila.

What an unforgettable experience. I flew in and out of the former British Crown Colony in a day.

[Summary] => I normally start putting up the Christmas decorations in my home as early as November. But, just for this year, to get that Christmas spirit going I wanted to put up the tree as early as October. It was my kids who reminded me that there was still Halloween to celebrate. So I waited until November to fill our home with the season’s decor. Christmas is always a special time for me because when I was growing up my parents made sure that we had a grand time during the season. Today, I just love listening to Christmas carols and remembering the happy Christmases of my youth.
