My fear...

So by now all of you have heard about the Swine Flu outbreak? Let me tell you ladies and gentlemen that this is as real as it gets. It is the first time that we have seen this kind of virus...there is no cure (yet)...hundreds have died and it is now spreading...


Global warming/climate shift, rapid changes in our earth that we have not seen and now this outbreak? Yes, it is too early to tell...some will hope (and I do hope) that this will die down after a few weeks...but what if it continues? Isn't that a scary thought? Ground zero is Mexico...it started spreading up to the United States and to Canada. There are some reports of the Swine flu in parts of Europe from those people who came from Mexico. Parts of Mexico right now looks like a ghost town because no one wants to go out. I am sure you guys have watched I Am Legend and the likes of the movie that had the rage virus right? are we ready to face that scenario? are you ready? lets hope and pray that this is not the start...

My pick to win the NBA championship...

I am always a Mavericks fan but I am also not dumb. I know they have a slim chance of winning it all this year mostly because of the Lakers and the Cavaliers. I picked the Lakers to win it this year since they are hungry, they are complete and they play good basketball. Celtics are done when KG went out. It will be a dream match this year. Kobe vs Lebron but...


Now I pick the Cavaliers to win it. I love this team. I love all the antics. If they don't win this year, at least they gave us a heck of a show from the pre-game rituals to Lebron's "More Than A Game" (here) and now to their spoof to the funny Heineken commercial. I was always laughing at this commercial when I watch the games on the internet. Yep on the internet. This commercial is not aired in the Philippines. View the Heineken commercial below:





And here is the spoof of the Cavaliers (source: BDL blog). It is just way too funny...

My rainy days...

Last week it was summer...


This week...it's the rainy season!

Summer is gone my friends. Rain has come early this year. No I am not talking about the Korean dude haha. What has happened to this world? Are we really killing this planet that the weather is telling us that something is wrong? Good thing astronomers have found new earth like planets. Read it all here. Ohwell so much for the summer sunshine. Ready your jackets/rain coats/etc because here comes the rain and floods...


Happy Rainy Earth Day to all!!!

My conspiracy theory on B.I.G.

Remember the East coast vs West coast thing? Well after watching Notorious I have a little theory of mine that I would like to share. Well first, I don't know if the killers of BIG and Tupac were ever found and if they/he/she was found, I don't think the shooter/s are behind it. So here is my theory of the killer:


There was only one mastermind. His name is Sean "Puffy" Combs a.k.a. Puff Daddy. I have no right to accuse him (I know!) but this is just my theory. Why Puff Daddy?
1. He owns Bad Boy.
2. After BIG's death who generated a lot of money? I believe that in every killing, there is always a motive.
3. He knew that BIG and Tupac were friends so he used that.
4. He has vision to pull this conspiracy off.
5. He has money and sources to pull this conspiracy off.
6. He produced a movie called Notorious (LOL!).


Let me explain further...if I was Puff Daddy...this is what I would think because he always wanted to rule the world. He used a guy from the slums. He made it BIG. He had a friend. What more publicity than to turn a friend on a friend? He sets up the shootings, East vs West escalates. Both men dies. He makes a record with Sting. He is now one of the top business man on the scene. I say genius!!! haha but I hope that ain't true :)

My shawarma night...

I am blogging.
Rockets are blowing out the Blazers.
Did nothing at work. LOL!

Went to Shawarma Snack Center in Malate last Friday. Pretty good place but the price to value ratio is not really that good. A Special shawarma costs Php 90. Was not really special. It was just the same as the rest in the malls, etc. One funny thing about that place is that they were allowing the Middle Eastern's to smoke inside the air conditioned place. Normal right? but what's funny is that the waitresses and the waiters looked high! They did not take our orders clearly, when we ask something they do not answer properly haha. High!? maybe! haha...


Shawarma Snack Center 7/10.

My basketball blog...

I finished 2nd in our fantasy league season 3. From 4th place last year up to 2nd place this year. I hope I win next year! haha. It was a fun season for the guys. Full of trashtalk, insider trading and lazy people. Next year those lazy peeps are not gonna be in. I am tired of them. I finished second. M-V-3 D-Wade did not play the last two games bummer!!! haha ohwell...that is part of the game so I have no say on that. The better team won. Congrats Myles!


Predictions for the first round?
Cavaliers will sweep the soul searching Pistons.
Boston will win it in 6 games over the tough Bulls.
Orlando will struggle to win it in 6 games over the upcoming Sixers.
Miami will upset the Hawks in 7 games just because of M-V-3.
Lakers will win it in 5 over the Jazz.
Denver will finally move on the second round upsetting CP3 and the injury plagued Hornets in 6.
Mavericks will still have the number on the Spurs in 6 games unless Ginobili plays.
Portland will win over the boring Rockets in 7 games.

My vacation week...

Yep! That's a first timer in Splash Island (with the birthday boy) haha. Sunday April 5 was Splash Island Day. It was fun! I want to go back! haha

Holy Tuesday until Black Saturday was Bolinao, Pangasinan vacation. Woot!!! Finally after a year of no vacation. Last year we were not able to go on a trip because of my work schedule (crappy schedule) haha. So this year, I made sure I am going to the beach!!!

It was a very under developed place. There were only 3 exclusive resorts (all fully booked) and a number of middle class resorts and some spots were just empty. Just filled with trees and whatever along this (approx.) 20+ KM stretch of beach. Well the Villa Carolina Resort was okay. Just right for the price. The Bolinao stretch of beach is not too good haha. Why? it is not swimmable. You go there to walk! literally walk but you have to have shoes or sandals just to walk. The beach is so rocky and full of shells. It is under developed so what can you expect? After the breakwater comes the fun part. I was able to go within a few meters of the breakwater when I decided to stop walking. I can feel the waves and also I can see the steep drop in land on the breakwater haha. I am not brave enough to go further because of the rough waves ahead of me. I got cut and my ankles were sore after the long walk back to the shore.


The last two nights I spent sleeping along the beach. I was alone on the tent! woot! and boy did I have a great time. I was able to see the moon set and a beautiful dawn. Now that is priceless. Going back, instead of taking the usual route, we went the long route and went to Zambales then Subic for lunch. Took us almost 9 hours to get home haha. Wrong decision but it was fun. Some more pictures are in my Multiply. Feel free to see the shots I took on my digicam (Yes, digicam. and until it breaks down, I won't buy an SLR haha)


Next up is La Luz!!! and I can't wait!!!

My not so summer days...

Does anyone here not believe that we have a climate problem? I mean rain on summer days? that's freakin weird! Yeah well it might just be an isolated problem here in our country but there are also some reports of strange weather patterns all over the world right? I guess thats the upcoming war that we are gonna be a part of some day soon. The war vs Global Climate anomalies. It is really scary, come to think of it, but no one really knows the exact date that it's gonna get really worse and where it will hit and how will it happen. That's why it is scary. I wish someone would get a note like that of Nicholas Cage's "numbered paper" in Know1ng hahaha.


Speaking of movies...what a comeback by Fast and Furious!!! I liked the story and everything about the movies except for one thing. Too much CG!!! but overall, I liked it! That's how you make those kind of films. 2 Fast 2 Furious blows so much and Fast and the Furious 3's lead actor sucks! hahaha. Just a little note, Vin Diesel is a producer on this film. I hope he makes another one :D


C'mon summer days!!! Please be here this holy week!!! Splash Island here we come!!! Bolinao here we come!!!
