Isang malaking piyesa sa kasaysayan ng college basketball ang pagsunkit muli ng kameponato ng National University Bulldogs sa UAAP noong nakaraang Miyerkules. Isang historic na underdog victory, ika nga (kahit ang bulldog ay pang-siga) dahil matapos maolats sa Game 1, ay binawian nila ang kalabang Far Easter University Tamaraws sa Games 2 at 3.

Isang rally sa third quarter ang nagkita ng panalo para sa mga taga-Jhocson, 75-59, para kunin ang kanilang ikalawang titulo sa UAAP sa kasaysayan ng pagsali nito. Pareho silang mga orihinal na miyembro ng naturang liga mula noong naitatag ito noong 1930s.

The Scene Around: Professional Blogging Summit 2014

10/23/2014 10:12:26 PM

It was Saturday afternoon, and DPOP together with E-Commerce Boot Camp held their Professional Blogging Summit held at the A. Venue Mall in Makati City.

Though due to work, I managed to drop by at the venue midway through the program.

Despite being tardy though I still tried to learn and re-oversee what’s inside what I barely missed all throughout the afternoon. (well, according to some blog posts which I also read)

Lookback: End of an Era

As much as WrestleMania 31 will be more than half-a-year away from now, I hate to do this, but I’d rather write another lookback on the recent WerstleMania matches as I watch some random videos (besides, WWE Network, which costs $9.99 as advertised, is not even available here in the country yet) around our popular video-streaming sites.

I have to admit: I never listened much on any local version of “slow jam” the rhythm and blues (rnb) way, and specifically, the romantic themed ones since I got used on my homies’ sets of Curse One, Breezy Boyz (yes, they were spelled that way; so don’t be an elite spelling Nazi) and Republikan tracks; until I randomly browsed my YouTube channel, and found this thing.

Sa panahon ngayon, na nag-iiba ang orientasyon at ang pangkalahatang pangtingin sa sekswaliad ng tao, ito ang nakapagtataka: akala ko ba gusto ng mga tao ng gender equality, gaya ng mga lalakeng sumasabit sa pambasaherong jeep.

Ano ang ibig kong sabihin? Ang litratong ito, na pinaskil ng Top Gear Philippines, at orihinal na kuha ni Marvin Sy (ayon sa naturang photo credits galing sa naturang magasin). Makikita na dalawang estudyanteng babae ang sumabay sa jeep pero hindi nakaupo. Kundi nakasabit sila, gaya ng tipikal na set-up sa atin na karaniwang ginagawa ng mga lalake.

Oh, gender equality ba kamo? Eh bakit kayo umaangal ng pagiging gentleman? Bakit kayo umaangal ng “is chivalry dead?”

Ang labo yata ng pinaglalaban ninyo ha?

Tirada Ni Slick Master: Basutusan sa Expo

Gusto ko lang ibahagi ang post na ito galing sa Facebook page ng Cubao Expo. Kung sakaling hindi mo alam ang Cubao Expo na ‘yan, o kung gusto mo ng mas modernong pangalan ay Cubao X, ‘yan ang dating Marikina Shoe Expo, isa sa mga tanyag na lugar sa Cubao commercial district sa Quezon City.

Bakit ito ang tinalakay ko, pansinin:

Post by Cubao Expo.

Sa haba ng kwento ng pinost ng admin ng Cubao Expo, na may pangalang Sandy ng isang shop dun na The Reading Room, isa ang pinuntirya nito: kawalan ng disiplina.

As much as I do not want to give much attention on any of the WWE’s flagship programs (considering I always have a lot of backlogs and schedules posts), I can’t help it; well, maybe because I’m sick of both political and controversial world. And even if I posted some of my very unusual visits and other good stuff, I haven’t felt much enough.

Is racism very rampant in every aspect of our daily lives? Yes, and it even applies on the world of sports-entertainment. Perhaps, you can blame office (or in this case, backstage) politics on this.

Just a few months ago, the world was shocked in disbelief when the national Basketball Association (NBA) was put into the spotlight after raging discriminatory remarks from the Los Angeles Clippers’ ex-owner Donald Sterling, which led to his eventual ousting from his team of three decades.

Then there comes Alberto Del Rio’s firing from the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Several combat sports beat outlet reports that Del Rio, or Alberto Rodriguez in real life, was ousted by the Connecticut-based promotion for being an “unsportsmanlike conduct to an employee.”

So the news were finally confirmed as per report of Media Newser, the online portal which takcles news media here in the Philippines. Yes, they broke that one out weekend, causing stir mixes of cheers and jeers from legit observers and plain trolls.

So, the e-commerce camp together with #DPOP (yes, not just a hashtag but it’s actually a brand name), teamed up for a half-day event which will benefit the blogging industry as a whole.

Named as the Professional Blogging Summit, The E-Commerce Boot Camp headed by Janette Toral will pilot the afternoon full of informational and insightful talks sponsored by Island Rose, Profriends and the official venue A. Venue Mall.
