We've been seeing an influx of athletic black guys boosting the frontlines of the different teams. You've got Emmanuel Mbe for NU and Hippo Nuondou for FEU to name a few. UST in particular boasts of a first year player that goes by the name of KAREEM ABDUL. Well, give him a couple of years and hopefully he'll begin dropping those skyhooks. :P
I know it may seem a little late, but who the hell names their kid RYAN ROOSE?
The Adamson Falcons seem to be looking pretty good this year. I have them pegged to take it all this season, or at least have an epic showdown with Ateneo during the finals.
On a side note, Jet Manuel (UP) has been playing really well this season, along with former King Stallion Jeric Teng (UST). Luceat Lux boys!

I'm a godfather again. Good buddy Reg asked me to be a godparent for his little girl Rachel. :D I have to say I'm quite honored to have been selected for the role. I intend to be a good godfather, not just in name, but with a share in the responsibility of the upbringing of the child to be a good person in the future. :)

Despite bowing out of contention for the World Cup after losing to Kuwait with an aggregate score of 1-5, the Philippine Azkals have captured the imagination of the nation and swept the country in a football frenzy that I have never seen before. Heck, it made me a believer myself (despite my disdain for the low scoring of soccer). Through their apparently miraculous run, and the help of some clever marketing, more than a few Filipinos have been captivated by the ideas of Filipinas Futbol. Expect a surge in soccer team memberships and equipment sales. : On a more serious note, the Philippines has now taken a much needed step towards seriously aiming for excellence in another sport besides boxing and (no matter how futile) basketball. I hope this won't be just a fluke, and will spur further growth in Philippine sports.
