A little bit of everything..

Let's start things off with a little UAAP..


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!

Inaanak number 2

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.
