Donnie "Ahas" Nietes

HIS HISTORY
Donnie got his nickname 'ahas' when he was a utility boy at the ALA Gym. One of his daily chores was to clean the snake pit with five big pythons and he was the only man with the guts to do it. He was bitten several times. But once he befriended the snakes, he was never bitten again. One day, a snake laid 11 eggs but only one survived. Donnie took care of that snake and he still does to this day. That's how he got his nickname.

Nietes defended his title over 21 year old hometown boy Mario Rodriguez in Mexico.He win because of the excellent physical condition that helped him in an action-packed bout in unbearable heat.

My reaction
Congratulation Nietes for another success you gave to our nation, I am proud of you ! I know that we Filipinos are competent globally in every fields we choose.Mabuhay Nietes!

"Quote of the Day"

People love to talk but hate to listen. Listening is not merely not talking, though even that is beyond most of our powers; it means taking a vigorous, human interest in what is being told us. You can listen like a blank wall or like a splendid auditorium where every sound comes back fuller and richer.

- Alice Duer Miller
