Even though he has one more year to play, he’s calling it quits. When everyone dreams of getting the spot he’s in, Ken’s giving it up. Ford Arao and Zion Laterre are two other players who won’t get in action for the Eagles since the two are graduating. Uncertain is if Chris Tiu will still […]

Speaking of Chris Tiu, have you seen his Nesvita ad? I mean the advertisement of Will Devaughn and Derek Ramsey where in he has a bit of appearance? My lips are sealed.

I wonder what BJ does these days. I really miss those days when he was still playing because his batch was the coolest DLSUGreen Archers batch (for me). I remember when we had dinner for his birthday at the Century Park Hotel with his fiance Diane ( they were not married yet at that time). […]

Coca-Cola Tigers- it’s not just hype

I had the time to watch the PBA last Wednesday in Araneta. The twin-bill primer- Coke Tigers vs Welcoat Dragons. Star of the game - Jason Dixon. He made 36 points that game, a follow up to his blockbuster performance last Saturday against Purefoods. On Sunday, Coke’s import Calvin Cage will be replaced by George […]

Last Saturday, I went to the christening of Lian Jenica Gariel David at Sanctuario de San Jose in East Greenhills. Reception followed at Gerry’s Grill at the Promenade. It was sooo fun more than you can imagine. Godparents include Marc Pingris, Mark Macapagal, Marvin Alvarez (son of Air21 honcho, Lito Alvarez)  and other PBA stars. […]

I was just day dreaming. Everyone would surely be excited if the current PBA players try it at least once in their PBA career. The PBA All Star Weekend takes place in Bacolod, April 24 - 27. Wouldn’t it be nice to see James Yap, or Eric Menk or even Asi Taulava wearing […]

FilOil Flying V 2008 Preseason Tournament starts April 13

Only 15 of the 16 teams will participate in this tournament. It’s the involvement of the PCU with the alleged anomalous players that caused them to skip the pre-season league. The proponents that caused PCU’s suspension from last year’s NCAA Season 83 must be penalized. What honor will it bring to the school if the […]

I forgot to write about this last month when we started this website. I’ve been watching the basketball games for more than a decade already and it pisses me when newbie fans talk to me and complain about some of their concerns. I mean I was talking to this nursing student, who really wanted to […]

If you’re not going out this long weekend, there’s a variety of stuff you an do. You can watch The Invasion in Araneta. Ticket’s kinda cheap compared to the Pacquiao match. This boxing matches caused the PBA to hold their Sunday game in Ynares in Antipolo, and I ain’t watching because I find it […]

I didn’t have the chance to watch the Wednesday PBA game because I was out of town. But when I came back yesterday morning, I was told that the Purefoods-Magnolia game was a heart-stopping one. Purefoods won the double-overtime duel as we all know by now. At sabi pa, halimaw daw si Darius Rice with […]
