It’s definitely more fun for moms this coming May as Melawares and Urban Kitchen, the leading manufacturer and distributor of tableware in the Philippines, will celebrate the whole month honoring mothers with special treats, fun games, and other exciting perks at various SM malls.

Dubbed “Mommy & Me,” the mall tour series will bring in activities that moms can enjoy with their kids.

“With today’s fast-paced life and everyone’s preoccupation on gadgets, family time is often neglected. Since moms are usually the ones who plan family bonding time, we thought of making them the highlight of this mall tour. We also timed this event in May, as our way of celebrating them this Mothers’ Day,” Chriselda Chua, CDC Manufacturing Corporation’s Marketing Manager, said.

Since summer is almost over and it will be back-to-school season soon, one of the event’s highlights is baking and refreshment making demonstration. Moms can share the joy of creating easy-to-prepare yet delicious meals and drinks with their kids, which they can make as their baon for school.

The Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao memes continue to terrorize haters and make people laugh at the same time. Lol!

There's no stopping the creativeky witty memes from invading the Internet because the fight of the century really was filled with "boos" and frowning faces. A lot of fans and celebrities expected too much from the #MayPac fight but ended with feelings of being shortchanged.

Similar to Jim Carrey, we thought we were about to watch the "Fight of the Century." We all ended up watching "Dancing with the Stars." The consolation was we've seen a lot of stars at the fight like Paris Hilton, Justin Bieber, Jake Gyllenhaal, Sting, Mike Tyson, Andre Agassi, Jamie Foxx, Jimmy Kimmel, Beyoncé, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, Cristina Milian, Ben Affleck, Drew Barrymore, Tom Brady, Nicki Minaj, Mark Wahlberg, Claire Danes, Hugh Dancy, Denzel Washington, Antoine Fuquia, Michael Keaton, Bridgid Coulter, Don Cheadle, Steffi Graff, Donald Trump, Melania Trump, Leslie Moonves, Julie Chen, Charles Barkley, Gayle King, and Mary J. Blige.

But we all know who the real star of the day was. It seems it was not the declared winner but the one who most impressed the crowd with his fighting performance. Mayweather may be the undefeated but Pacquiao got the sympathy of a majority. The boxing fans may not know the technicalities of judging a boxing match, but we know to whom their heart belongs to.

For now, Filipinos should accept the defeat because there's more to winning the fight,... and that's winning the hearts of the people.

Have fun viewing these memes for now.

Just like what Mike Tyson tweeted with disappointment "We waited five years for that. #Underwhelmed #MayPac"

You can't imagine the expectations we had for the fight. I even glued myself to a huge curved LED screen while the room was darkly lit just to give a cinematic effect but whoa!!! The reality sucks!
Not just because our Manny Pacquiao lost against Floyd Mayweather Jr but the fact that the fight was not remotely as explosive as a Super Saiyan battle against the other aliens. It was an exaggeration to compare it with the anime but we were expecting more of a thrilling fight between the two boxing greats.

As expected, there's bound to be lots of Mayweather Pacquiao memes to go viral after the big fight of the century between the Philippines' People's Champ and Pambansang Kamao Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao against The United States of America's and Justin Bieber lover Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr.

These will be just some of the first waves of memes to be going around the Internet so expect a lot more as people get creative with the highlights of the fight. Each group of supporters for the two fighters are also dishing out some rude memes against each other so better not be insulted that much because it has always been that way ever since.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is now celebrating his unanimous decision victory over Manny Pacquiao during the welterweight unification championship bout on May 2 Saturday (May 3 Sunday, Asia time) at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

However, many Pinoys are grieving from the lost. Some of our fellow Filipinos are calling Mayweather as gay (Gayweather) saying he only ran and hugged Manny Pacquiao. Several memes have already gone viral over the Internet via social media aside from the accusations of cheating, unfair judging and rig/orged fight.

What is somewhat demeaning in all this chaotic aftermath is calling out to people we don't like as "gay."

"Clinching is a strategy. Outfighting is a strategy. Not all boxers are infighters. It may not be flashy, but even fighting games have zoners and nobody calls them scared or cheap or "gay". If you do then people will laugh at you and tell you to learn the game. Also, stop calling things you don't like gay. Because that means you think lowly of our homosexual brethren." says Alexei Rivera in his Facebook post.

I've learned from his post that Mayweather is an "outfighter" - when the boxer dodges more and runs around vs. infighter who runs in and exchanges blows.

True enough, "Famous Out-Boxer Muhammed Ali once said, "Float like a Butterfly, Sting like a Bee". Nobody called him scared or gay then."

Floyd Mayweather Jr Wins Against Manny Pacquiao

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"I thought I won..." says Manny Pacquiao. We also thought too. How on Earth did Floyd Mayweather Jr. win the fight when hew was either running or embracing the Pacman most of the time? Unanimous decision crap!!! Who the hell were those judges???!!!

The loud boos from the audience was a definite sign that they did not agree on the decision.

A very sad day for the Filipinos all over the world.

We all wanted Manny Pacquiao to win, even the audience at the MGM Grand, ... but due to unanimous decision by the judges, our Pambansang Kamao ng Pilipinas lost... to Floyd Mayweather Jr... and here comes the many boxing analyst starting in 3, 2, 1...

The lost of Pacquiao makes you wanna find out who those judges who declared Mayweather the winner ... We know who's the real winner for all of us!

Watch out for our video uploads to see the fight again from start to finish.

Anybody noticed the Internet has gone too slow today???. It seems everyone went online and our Internet Service Provider no longer has enough bandwidth to provide for all the sudden requirements from all over the country. The Philippines is fucked! As if that was the real case...lol!
