The Long Wait is Over: Facebook Timeline Now Available (For Everyone!)
Months after Facebook announced it last September and after a gradual rollout that started in New Zealand, Facebook Timeline is now available for everyone to use.
If you’re one of the those who received an invite, you might have read this simple message: “Timeline is a collection of the photos, posts and experiences that help you tell your story.” Though short for an invite, it actually means much more than that. Timeline is a massive redesign of Facebook’s user profiles which shows a detailed overview of your life on Facebook, with the ability to check out what you’ve been up to at a particular point in time.

My Two Cents: Pacquiao vs. Marquez III
After watching the replay and reading the tweets, I think it is very unfair to say that Pacman didn’t deserve to win and that Marquez was robbed of a win. Pacman gave Marquez one heck of a fight. It was just unfortunate for Marquez that he wasn’t able to put Manny down. And this just clearly showed that Manny is THAT good. I can say that Pacman was a victim of pre-conceived outcomes that when a close win was declared, everybody doubted it. It was just so sad to see that instead of being happy and proud, Filipinos saw the fight as one big question mark.
