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.
