I love the holidays, but especially Christmas. How can you not like Christmas? You have presents, food, family gathering, school break and the warmth feeling you have inside of you. Christmas is probably my favorite holiday out of all the holidays.
Every year, my family will always spend it together. We would buy everyone presents and sit down all together and open the presents one by one. But before we all open our presents. My sisters would wake up early to make breakfast for everyone. Once they are done, they would wake everyone in the house by singing really loud or either coming by everone's room and wake us up by yelling, "Merry Christmas, breakfast is ready!"
I would go and pick up my girlfriend and she would come and join with us. Once everyone is in the room ready to eat. My dad will talk and tell us that he is happy that my sisters made breakfast for everyone and also telling us that he is also happy to spend and seeing us all together as a happy.
Once my dad is done talking, we would all dig in. When everybody is done eating, we would go to the living room and give eachothers presents to them. We would open one by one, oldest to the youngest so we can all see the presents. When everyone is done opening their presents. We would all say thank you to eachother and give hugs.
We always do this every Christmas. It's like our routine when Christmas come. I love doing this every year because I just like having that feeling, that happy feeling and knowing everyone is safe and spending time with eachother. I will pretty much expect that same routine but I will enjoy the same routine.

Hmong New Year
I've been going to the Hmong New Year ever since I was a little kid. I remember every early Friday morning, my mom would wake my sisters, brothers and myself up very early to wear Hmong clothes. It was a pain in the butt trying to wake up early and trying on the Hmong clothes.
My mom would usually spend more time with the girls because the girls clothes was more time consuming. Another reason was because there were four girls that my mom had to fix the clothing. Girl clothing for Hmong clothes need a lot more time than the boy clothes.
As for the boys, there were three of us. Myself as being the youngest of all my sibilings. I was the last one to be helped. I would have to wait for the girls to be done and when the girls was done, I would had to wait for my two older brothers. When it was my turn, it was pretty quick. I just had to put on a white dress shirt, black dress pants, Hmong vest, and the Hmong coins. It was as simple as that.
Last year was my last time wearing Hmong clothes. I feel a little bit too old to wear them now. I know that you're never too old for anything but for me, I think I need a break on the Hmong clothes. It was nice not wearing it because I didn't need to go back home and change, then come back to the New Year. It was really annoying.
This year, I did not go to New Year at all. Well, I went on Saturday to help serve food but that was it only. When I was done I went to my girlfriend's house and watch Iron Man 2. Hmong New Year lately haven't been the same ever since they changed it to North High. I guess the envirnment wasn't the same.
In the end of this, I'm not going to lie. I do miss the old days where my mom would wake everybody up and put Hmong clothes on us. It just that nice and warm feeling that feels awesome. I will always remember those good old days. When I have kids, I'm probably going to do the same to them too. So when they grow up they will remember like how I remembered.

Fedor vs. Brock
Fedor Emelianenko is a russian mma heavyweight fighter who is consider the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. He was ranked #1 in the heavyweight division for a long time. His record is 32-2 but before his last lost to his resent opponent. Fedor wasn't beaten for 9 years until 2010. He is also the current Pride champion and has beated former UFC champions.
Brock Lesner was ranked #1 for heavyweight when Fedor lost to his resent opponent. His record is 5-2 Lesner is a big strong wrestler who beated Randy Couture (also a very well known wrestler) for the UFC heavyweight champion. Brock went on and beated Frank Mir (former UFC heavyweight champion) on UFC 100 and controlled the whole fight. People were saying Brock was going to be unstoppable.
Both fighters were on top of their game and fans wanted to see these two fighters go at it and wanted to see who would win if they both met in the ring or octagon. At the time, both fighters were fighting for different organization. Fedor was fighting in Strikeforce while Brock was fighting for the UFC.
Back then, I would had thought this would had been a good fight for the fans. Brock did seem to be unstoppable and same goes for Fedor too. But now that both of these two fighters are coming out of a lost. But I think that the Fedor lost was a fluke and Brock's lost was because he's not that well of a fighter yet. Lesner is still inexperience in mma and still has a lot of to learn. If these two fighters did meet up in a ring or octagon, I would definitely put my money on Fedor.

UFC and WEC
UFC the biggest mma promotion company owned by Zuffa. It contains the best fighters who compete to be the best pound-for-pound figther in the world. UFC is the best mma organization and they have proven that it is the best. Other mma organizations couldn't compete with the UFC. If they did ever try to, they would get out of business or get bought by the UFC.
WEC haven't been out of business because it is also own by Zuffa. But WEC is not as big as UFC because WEC was made after UFC. It's ranked number 2 for best mma organization after UFC. WEC contains some of the best fighters usually the lighter weight classes.
Most of the fans always wants to see some of the fighters from both of the organization fight with each other to see who is better. Usually most fans want to see how some of the best fighter from WEC would do with UFC fighters. A lot of the fans wanted WEC to merge with UFC and now their dream will come true.
UFC and WEC are merging together. It's going to be big for the company because both of the organization was already big. Now it's going to be huge and most mma organization are going to have hard time competing with both of them merging. Myself as a big fan cannot wait until fighters from both of the organization fight with each other.

St. Pierre vs. Koscheck II
When St. Pierre and Koscheck fought for the first time, St. Pierre won by a unanimous decision. St. Pierre was making his way up again because this fight was after he lost his belt to Matt Serra. Josh Koscheck was a top contender who was making his way up for the Welterweight belt. A win over Georges St. Pierre would have made him the number one contender.
I believe that St. Pierre won because he was the more skillful fighter and was a better fighter then. Koscheck was a former collegiate wrestling champion and was consider as the best wrestler in the UFC then. But to see St. Pierre out wrestling Koscheck shows that St. Pierre is a better all around fighter than Koscheck.
Koscheck is a whole different fighter now. He's more experience, more stronger and better with his boxing too now. I believe he may have a chance of beating St. Pierre in their second rematch. I'm pretty sure he has learned his mistakes from his first fight with St. Pierre. Koscheck doesn't want to make the same mistake again.
In the end, I still believe that St. Pierre is still going to win the second fight with Koscheck. Even though Koscheck has learn his mistakes from the first fight, I'm pretty sure that St. Pierre is going to make Koscheck do the same mistake. St. Pierre is known for going in with a gameplan and nails it. St. Pierre's hand is going to be the one who is going to get raised.

B.J Penn work ethics
B.J. Penn is one of the best fighter to be in mma. He is so well rounded that makes him such a dangerous fighter. Most fighters fears to go in the octogon with him. When you hear the name B.J. Penn, you think of one of the greatest. Fighters will always say they are always honor to fight him and to be in his presents.
B.J. Penn is known to be a light-weight fighter. In his earlier fights, he would jump around weight classes. Now that he's getting older and trying to move up and down with his weight. I can see that it's getting hard for him and with his work out ethics. It doesn't look good at all for him. His resent fights with Edger, showed that he isn't training how he's suppose to be; training hard. But this is a typical for him because when it comes to working hard, he gets lazy.
When Penn did work hard and stayed in shape, he looked unstopped. It seemed as if no one can stop him. You give him anyone and he'll destroy them and make it look flawess. When B.J. Penn was in this stage, he was consider as the pound-for-pound fighter in the world. The B.J. Penn that works hard is the one who we love to watch and will know for sure that he'll put on a show for everybody.
I still believe that he is still the best light-weight fighter in the world. If he works hard like he use to then he can and will be the best again. But the only thing is that everyone knows that he slacks off on his trainings. He's never really serious about his trainings and never really works hard. I believe there will be no fighters that can ever beat hard worker B.J. Penn

Lesnar vs. Velasquez
I'm picking Lesnar winning this fight. I don't know but I just have a strong feeling that he's going to win. Even though he doesn't have as much experience as his opponent. Lesnar is 5-1 and Velasquez is undefeated with a record of 8-0.
Velasquez is a really good fighter and has a really good chance of beating Lesnar. He has a really good wrestling background and he's also great with his boxing. But he is just a little bit to small for his weight class. But I wouldn't be surprised if Velasquez wins the fight.
I think Lesnar is going to win is because I believe he has a better wrestling game. He can probably out wrestle Velasquez and put him on his back. There's no way Velasquez can take Lesnar to the ground because Lesnar is just way too big and way too strong for Velzasquez.
So I'm pretty much know how the fight is going down. They test each other out and box for a bit. Then Lensar backs Velasquez back to the cage and that's when Lensar will push aganist on Velasquez using all his weight on Velasquez to tired him out. Lensar then makes a quick and explosive take down and gets Velasquez on his back and ground and pounds him. The ref. stops the fight and Lensar's hands get raise in the end.

Penn vs. Hughes III
Before I go on and tell what my thoughts are. I would like to tell you about their history together. Penn met up with Hughes in the octogon in 2004, UFC 46. B.J. Penn was a 155 pound light-weight contender jumping up weight class to welterweight. Matt Hughes was a five time defending champion.
Matt Hughes was consinder the best welterweight fighter back then. B.J. Penn was also one of the best light-weight fighter. In UFC 46, Penn and Hughes stepped in the octogon and battled it out. Penn won by a rear naked choke in the first round. The second time they met, it was on UFC 63. Hughes won by TKO.
Now these two top fighter will meet again for the third time on UFC 123 to settle the score. This will be a really interesting fight. B.J. Penn was the king in the light-weight devision but suffer a back-to-back lost to Frankie Edger. Hughes lost two fights but is rebounding back with three wins. So, now these two fighters have won one battle with each other. We will see who will win the war.
If I was to pick out the outcoming. I would pick B.J. Penn to win this fight. His standup figthing is much better and his takedown defense is amazing. But, it only depends which B.J. Penn is going to show up. The B.J. Penn that look gased and looked really slow or the really well condition B.J. Penn. Hopefully he comes out healthy and well conditioned.

UFC 119: Mir vs. CroCop
To start this off, this fight card is mediocre and it's on pay-per-veiw. The undercards are interesting but not convincing enough to want to buy it. Maybe to others are interesting but not to me.
The main event card is good. I would like to see that fight, but I think it shouldn't have been the main event for UFC 119. Not to disrepect Jay Silva(fighting matchmaking) but it would been more appropriate to have it be co-main event. But that's just in my opinion.
As for the fight, Mir vs. CroCop. I think Mir is going to take the victory. He is bigger, stronger, and has most of the skills set to be CroCop. CroCop's kickboxing is really good but I think Mir's boxing is going to take the fight. Mir's boxing has improved so much that I belive that it's better than CroCop's. Mir can also take CroCop to the ground and if it does hit to the ground, it would be a quick fight for CroCop because his ground game is not so morally excellent. Mir's groundgame is more superior than CroCop.
So this is my thoughts of UFC 119: Mir vs. CroCop. We will have to see if this pay-per-view will be a big blow out. And for the main event, we will see who will come out with the win.

Being a Uncle
I have always wanted to be a uncle just because I have always wanted little nephews and nieces. My uncles are cool guys and I have always looked up to them and when I was little I wanted to be like them. I also want my little nephews and nieces to look up to me and see me as a good role model.
If my sisters or or brothers ever have a kid, I hope it's a boy. I always wanted to have a nephew because it's like having a little baby brother. I don't mind having a niece but I perfer to have a nephew though. I want to be the cool uncle that they would want to come over and want me to babysit them.
I don't mind if I have a nieces, then I can be the "I'm going to beat up every boy that trys to talk to you or make fun of you" uncle type. I would like to be the very protected uncle and let her get away with stuff because she would be a sweetheart. So to think of it, I really don't mind if I have a nephew or a niece. I'm fine with both of them.
When I do become a uncle, I want to be their role model and also be their best friend. I want to be the type of uncles that will always be there from them and want them to be comfortable with me about talking about problems that they might have. But if my niece have boy problems, then that's a different story. I just want to be the "COOL UNCLE".

Penn vs. Edgar II
Penn vs. Edgar I was a really interesting fight. The fight was a five rounds and fight minutes long. It could had gone either way. But in the judges's eyes, it was Edgar who came out victorious. But to the people's eyes, it could had been a draw.
To me, I can see Edgar winning the fight because he was more active and he was landing and actually took BJ Penn down. Edgar was really good at moving in angles and being quick on his feet which tired Penn down. I'm not quite sure but I think Edgar did more damage to Penn's face.
But I can see it becoming a draw because Penn was landing more with the stiff jabs. The stiff jabs was really effected and Edgar couldn't really come close to Penn. I think that Penn probably landed more punches and hurted Edgar more. So that's why I think it could had been a draw.
Penn is the best light-weight and one of the best pound-for-pound fighter in mma. But in that fight, it was really noticable that he wasn't in shape and was gasing out in the fight. He is known for not training as hard as he is or other mma should be training. I was really disappointed at his proformance because I think if he was in shape he could had won the fight easily.
So, that's why there is going to be a Penn vs. Edgar II. I'm glad that Penn is going to get a rematch because I want him to win and reclaim what is his. And also because I'm a big fan of BJ Penn. Hopefully BJ Penn is training hard for his fight and not like his first fight with Edgar.

Learned From It
I remember a time when I was a little kid, my cousins and I went to go visit some of our relatives. Our relatives lived on a farm and had a whole mess of animals like; chickens, pigs, goats, and a dog. My cousins and I always loved to go there just to see that animals and hang out with my relatives.
My relatives had this one dog. For some reason, I didn't like that dog because how it looked and the type of the dog. There was a time when I kept bothering it and throwing stuff at it. I would throw dog food and little tiny rocks at it. When I kept on throwing at it, all of a sudden the dog came right after me. But luckily, it was on a leash so I got really lucky on that one because I know if it was loose it would had bite me for sure.
I knew the dog hated me and just wanted to tore me into shreds. Everytime I walked by it or just whenever it saw me, it would growl and bark at me. I don't blame it that it hated me. If I was the dog and someone kept throwing rocks and dog food at me, I would like to bite their toes off or something that would really hurt them. So I understand that it hated me and probably hated me with a passion.
When one of my cousin and I was just walking around the yard, we heard something. The something we heard was the damn dog. It came straight right at us. We were running for our lives and we decided to spilt up but that was a really dumb idea because it came after me which I know why he picked me instead of my cousin. But luckily, my uncle; the owner of the dog came just in time to grab the dog before it got to me.
Since that day, I've learned not to mistreat any dogs anymore. I certainly do not want another experience of a dog chasing after me. I've learned my lesson and do not want it to happen again.

UFC 112
UFC 112 was suppose to be the UFC card of the year. They had the two best fighter fighting on the same day which made this card the "Dream fight card". Besides that, they also had great under cards fight that made this card even more interesting to watch.
I know for sure that other people said UFC 112 was worth watching on pay-perview. They had Anderson Silva, the best pound-for-pound fighter in mix martial art and also had BJ Penn, the best lightweight fighter fighting on UFC 112. But the thing was that UFC 112 was not worth watching.
UFC 112 was a waste of my time watching it. The only reason why most of the people that bought it on pay-perview was to watch Anderson Silva and BJ Penn to put on a show. Both of these fighter did not put on a show. BJ Penn showed a horrrible proformance. He wasn't himself and we all know that he was not even in shape to fight. He didn't even seem like he wanted to win the fight. That's why disgusting his proformance was. And for Anderson Silva, he put on a show for the first and second fight but the other rounds was a disgrace. All he did on the other round was showboating and running around the ring like a clown. He could have finish the fight in the first or second round if he wanted to but he chose not to. To me, I think that it was really disrespectful what he showed to his opponent and made the UFC and the sport bad.
If I had something to say to them. All I have to say is, "Give me my money back"!
I know for sure that other people said UFC 112 was worth watching on pay-perview. They had Anderson Silva, the best pound-for-pound fighter in mix martial art and also had BJ Penn, the best lightweight fighter fighting on UFC 112. But the thing was that UFC 112 was not worth watching.
UFC 112 was a waste of my time watching it. The only reason why most of the people that bought it on pay-perview was to watch Anderson Silva and BJ Penn to put on a show. Both of these fighter did not put on a show. BJ Penn showed a horrrible proformance. He wasn't himself and we all know that he was not even in shape to fight.

Changes
There are many elements that make up who I am that I would be willing to compromise. Some elements include, what I believe in, what my beliefs are, how I look and talk, and what I consider to be good or bad. These elements are traits and characteristics of my identity that I would never give up or change.
First off, what I belive in, as in education is important and that everyone was made here for a purpose is what I personally think I would never compromise. I think that this is my most important characteristic that makes me who I am.
Secondly, another element of my identity that I would not compromise is what my beliefs are along with the way I talk and look. I think that what I belive in really distinguishes me apart from others. I would never give up how I was taught to behave and that my values are important. The way I look and talk make me unique in my own way that I wouldn't change those aspects in my lift.
Lastly, what I consider right from wrong may be different than what others think but to me, I will probably always feel that it's my kind of way and that nothing can change what I think is good or bad to me. I wouldn't compromise the ability to think for oneself or the ability to express oneself however you want.
I would never really change myself for anybody or anything. I think that they should just accept me for who I am. Compromise is good in some aspects of me, but those elements that I just listed are a few elements that I think are the most important to include as the the elements that I would never compromise with.

Raising Saltwater Fish
When I was younger, I have always been interested in raising freshwater fish. I have always enjoyed taking care of fish. I especially loved raising Bettas and Fancy Guppies. Raising freshwater fish was a passion of mine and it was easy to take care of.
Whenever I went to the fish store to buy Bettas and Fancy Guppies, I would also look at the saltwater fish but it never really interested me in raising them. I would like to look at them but not really taking care of them.
When I was out of the phase of raising Bettas and Fancy Guppies, I wanted to try something new. At first, saltwater wasn't my first pick of trying something new. I was thinking about only new types of freshwater fish. I went on youtube to find different types of fish and when I saw what I wanted, I knew I must have to get it.
The only problem was that, the Snowflake eel was a saltwater fish. I knew nothing about saltwater fish and never really researched about it. Luckily, my sister's boyfriend knew about saltwater fish and so he helped me raise my salt water Snowflake eel.
Ever since then, I have been buying more saltwater fish. I would probably have to say I enjoy raising saltwater fish more than freshwater fish. In my opinion, I think that saltwater fish are more interesting to look at and more unique to raise.

Who's Cleaner?
In my opinion, I think that girls are not as clean as they claim to be. I'm not saying that girls are cleaner or dirtier than guys. But they are just good at acting as if they are cleaner than guys. I get kind of annoyed when girls claim to be cleaner and to have better hygiene.
I think girls think that they are cleaner because they would say eww to the littlest thing. It could be a fart or something really little. They act as if they never fart or fart in public. Girls are just more sneaky being dirty but once when they are alone, they are filthy. I've been around girls a lot and they can be as dirty as guys, maybe even worse.
For guys, I think we don't really care how we dress or fart in public. We dress that are conforable and is easy and we all know that farting is natural. I'm not saying all guys fart all the time in public but we don't really care. I think that another reason is because guys sweat a lot more than girls. There are more reasons but I can't think of any right now.
I'm not saying that girls are more dirty than guys and I'm not saying that guys are cleaner than girls. It just really bugs me when girls act or claim to be cleaner than guys. I'm sorry if I offend any girls or maybe guys but this is my opinion.

UFC 109 "Relentless"
First off, I'm going to start off by talking about one of the UFC 109 "Relentless" fights. That fight I'm going to talk about is the Randy Couture and Mark Coleman fight. Recently, in a poll, people voted 93 percent for Couture to win the fight. I was one of them.
I believed that Randy Couture was going to win because he was a smarter fighter and he had more heart in the fight. Couture's stand-up was too good for Coleman to handle. It wasn't just his stand-up that was better, his clinch and grappling were also better.
Both of the men had to bring it to the table. It was either do or die because the person who lost would be more likely to be cut in the UFC. Couture and Coleman are both legends in the sport and in the UFC, which made it a higher steak for the both of them.
Overall, Couture was a better fighter. He was more hungry than Coleman was, which made him more motivated to win the fight. So in the end, Couture was victorious.
