Game 7. The one they called the “ultimate” game for a playoff series. It serves like the ultimate test of faith, will, and determination for every single player and team. This is the game where you can’t afford to make a mistake (or you’ll die if you made one). Game 7, for all the marbles, for all the ages, for all the excitement, and bragging rights to the championship battle… no doubt about it.
For only the second time but (I think) the biggest game 7 so far in the 2013 National Basketball Association playoffs, it will be “one more clash” for the Miami Heat and the Indiana Pacers, and with two things are up for grabs: an Eastern Conference championship title, and one-way ticket to date the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals (yes, only “one way.” Either you have to win it or you’ll go home by losing).

Just My Opinion: “Tomboy”
11:35:37 PM | 6/3/2013 | Monday
Okay, so “tibo” raw si Charice. Oo nga, ang isang dating
YouTube sensation na naging isang international superstar, isa nang ganap na “lesbian.”
Tomboy, sa mas kilalalang lengwahe. Bi,
or whatever, basta hindi siya straight, o baka nalihis sa tamang landas, ayon
yan sa mata ng mga tao na may paniniwalang “dalawa lang ang kasarian ng tao:
lalaki at babae.” Yan ay matapos niyang
aminin ang lahat sa isang eksklusibong panayam ng showbiz program na “The Buzz”
sa kanya.
Humingi na rin siya sa mga taong nasaktan sa usaping ito,
mula sa kanyang magulang at sa mga taong malalapit sa kanya.

The #iBlog9 Experience
10:30:00 AM | 6/3/2013 | Monday
It was only late last week when one of my Facebook friends told me about this event – the 9th Philippine Blogging Summit. But there’s always a saying known as “better late than never” though, so I still pursued all the way.
Supposedly I am attending the first day, until time constraints on different matters hindered me to do so. And I almost did not make it on time last Saturday (June 1, 2013), as 45 minutes prior to the summit’s 2nd and last day, I still has yet to get my ass off from my bed. With all the adrenaline I had, I rushed all the way from the riverside of Marikina to the Malcolm Hall of the University of the Philippines... only to found myself that I still made it at fifty-five minutes after eight in the morning, Philippine Standard Time. 5 damn minutes that could have been spent on doing other matters. I still have another thing in mind, however (serious stuff,in fact).

Playback: 2 Chainz and Wiz Khalifa – We Own It (OST – Fast and Furious 6)
2:17:00 PM
| 6/2/2013 | Sunday
Here’s something
to dig for a while. Hip-hop music is now making way for the movies as the main
anthem for the movies, just the case for the sixth instalment of the Fast and
the Furious series.
I saw the
movie twice, and on its opening and closing billboards (OBB, CBB) the music of
Wiz Khalifa and 2 Chainz aired, and its title was “We Own It.”

Uninvited
11:43:21 PM | 5/28/2013 | Tuesday
Hindi na imbitado sa darating na William Jones Cup ang
defending champion team nito na Gilas Pilipinas.
Saklap ba? Oo, napakasaklap. Defending champion ka tapos
ieechepwera na lang sa pagkakataong ito? Parang instant way para sa
championship ang magiging dating nito ah. Kasi walang threat sa daanan nila,
walang defending champs, kaya all-for-that-one ang labanan d’yan.
Just My Opinion: Tuition Hike
11:29:43 PM | 5/28/2013 | Tuesday
Tuition hike na naman. Kung tutuusin, hindi na bago ang
isyung ito. Kada taon naman ay nagkakalokohan na tayo pagdating sa balita sa
pagtaas ng tuition e. Yung iba, tinotoo ang paghike, at yung iba naman, pa-PR
lang.
Pero ito? Mukhang malaking dagok na naman ito sa estudyante
at magulang na naman. Oo, for the nth time. Kasi halos 350 bilang ng mga
eskwelahan, magtataas ng tuition fee. At aprudbado na yan ng Commission of
Higher Education. Panibagong kalbaryo na naman ito sa mga nagpapaaral sa
kanilang mga kaanak.

Just My Opinion: “Racist” Joker
8:23:07 PM
| 5/28/2013 | Tuesday
Ano ang
problema sa isang “joke?” Wala naman halos. Uulitin ko. Wala naman halos. Kaso ito rin ang kabilang side
ng pagbibiro, ang katotohanan na “hindi kasi lahat ng biro ay nakakatawa.” Maihahalintulad
ito sa kasabihang “some things are better left unsaid,” lalo na kung panay
kasakitan at walang magada itong ibubunga sa sinumang magsasabi at makikinig. At
sa panahon ngayon na uso ang pamamaraan ng slapstick comedy, o ang isang
pamamaraan ng pagapaptawa sa pamamagitan ng pananakit at pagpapahiya sa sarili
o sa kapwa, malamang may aalma talaga ng “foul” sa alinman sa mga jokes na ‘yan.
Ano ang
ibig kong sabihin?
Ang Problema Sa Pamumutakte sa Hairdo Ni Charice
9:59:26 PM | 5/7/2013 | Tuesday
Ang hairdo ni Charice. Anak ng tokwa, lagi
na lang ‘to lamang ng usapan at kalokohan ng social media ha?
Sabagay, sino ba naman kasi ang hindi
maloloka sa itsura ng hairdo niya na maihahalintulad sa iba’t ibang
personalidad. Dumarating na nga sa punto na nakekwesityon na ang personalidad
ng batang singer. Kaya ayan, laging pinuputakte ng mga tinatawag na “meme” sa
Facebook.

Lagim ng Isang “Buhawi.”
4:36:29 AM | 5/25/2013 | Saturday
Naalala ko ang isa sa mga recent episodes
ng palabas na Rescue. Ilan sa mga lalawigan sa Luzon ,
ang Ilocos Sur at Tarlac ay minsan nang binulabog ng isang “buhawi.” Bagamat sa
kabutihang palaad ay walang buhay na nawala, sinira naman nito ang ilang
ari-arian at hanapbuhay. Nag-iwan pa rin ng matinding pinsala at trauma para sa
karamihan na ang hanap buhay ay nasa bukirin ng mga probinsya.
Napakabihira para sa isang tropical na
bansa na tulad ng Pilipinas ang maranasan ang isang malagim na kalamidad na
kung tawagin ay buhawi. Kung magkaroon man, tiyak na hindi ito singlakas ng mga
tornado o twister sa mga bansa sa kanlurang hemisphere tulad ng Estados Unidos.
And speaking of which, mas nagiging evident yata ang balita ukol sa buhawi
kapag ito’y parte ng sirkulasyon abroad, tulad ng nangyari sa Oklahoma nitong nakaraang araw lamang.
