Amazing Weekend because of Basketball

I think everyone now knows what happened this last Saturday and Sunday, (Kung hindi mo alam, malamang tulog ka) MVP sports foundation was the key to success in this event. 2 consecutive days of full excitements, amaze feelings and BASKETBALL. and this event knew as the "Smart Ultimate All-Star Weekend' that happened inside the Basketball Capital of the Philippines "Araneta Coliseum"

It's unbelievable to see Kobe Bryant on your front but what can you say if 9 superstars from the greatest Basketball league in the world will be play, shoot or Dunk together in one of the greatest moment in Philippine Sports History.

First DAY

Basketball fans here in the Philippines was so lucky to have the moment to see Superstars from Philippine's Best (PBA) and from the World's best (NBA) together in one court in Saturday night. And as all expected the MegaSuperstars of Basketball won the game in a lead of more than 20pts.

James Yap and Kobe Bryant

The game can describes as an exhibition game, a lot of dunks (as expected) crossover plays and Alley oop plays saw that night. the only bad thing after the game is when the comments of the observers come out. some are good as positive and some are badly as the Dark Lord Sauron :D. Obviously the two teams separated is a mismatch in terms of Height including Weight, athleticism and Physicality of two races. but some people did not appreciated it even that team(PBA) must have a support they just gave them a boo. but I know those talking bad like that in Philippine Basketball are people that knows nothing about Sports or even Basketball.

The two man in the picture above are the main man of that two teams. James Yap for PBA and in the other side is Kobe Bryant. Kobe scored in the game but James finished the game scoreless. day after that when I go on school my classmate boos me. and he said "Wala pala James Yap mo eh" and I just laughed after that. There are reasons why he did not play well that night, and I can give some. (1) That game is only a Exhibition game, even if he played hard I think they cannot beat the NBA stars. (and obviously the PBA All-Stars is an underdog team that night) (2) He just reserved his energy for a very important game than that game. (His team is on a Semifinal round right now) (3) Friday after that night he has a game, Saturday meron din at kinabukasan meron ulit. Second DAY The main Event of the Ultimate All-Star Weekend is the face-off among NBA All-Star and our very own National team "Smart Gilas Pilipinas" this time the game is serious but sometimes funny because of the 3 Gentlemen Commentators of the game. I just laughed, laughed and laughed after some lines of Mr. Mico Halili that night specially in the time when Javale McGee missed a Lay-up under neath the Basket and Jimmy are on McGee's back and He says "Oh McGee bothered by the defense of Jimmy Alapag" (natawa ako kasi wala namang ginawa si Jimmy that time) hahaha WTH Javale i think has 13 inches taller than Jimmy tho.

Syempre sa isang Basketball game ay hindi mawawala ang mga Slam-Dunk lalo na sa mga players ng NBA team pero mas nakakataba naman ng puso sa tuwing nakikita ko na ang gumagawa ng Dunk ay nakasuot ng Gilas Uniform.

In that event I heard a lot of cheer and there are three cheers that cannot forget by my mind. the First One when former President Joseph Estrada's face showed in the Big Dome's big screen then everyone shouted "ERAP! ERAP! ERAP!" the Second one when Manny pacquiao Enter the Big Dome then the whole Smart Araneta Coliseum saying "Manny! Manny! Manny!" and the last one happened inside the last four minutes mark of the game when Gilas made a Run. then the whole Big Dome seems like the home court of the team when every sounds that you here is cheering Gilas by "Defense! Defense! Defense!".

And after this blog finish let me ask ask you one question, do you think that this Gilas vs NBA is more interesting to watch than NBA All-Star Weekend (East vs West) for me YES!.

If your answer is NO Check it out again by watching it here

James Yap most Popular player sa PBA

the Man with a Million Moves
PBA version of KING JAMES
Big Game James
Big Daddy James
Boy Thunder (with Paul Artadi as Kid Lightning)

wEw bago ko sinimulang itype to ay nagiisip ako ng magandang Title?, pumasok sa isip ko ang "Bakit sikat si James Yap" at "James Yap mukha ng PBA?" pero naisip ko, ayos na din naman 'tong title na ginamit ko.

Kung aagree ang lahat ng basketball fans sa Pilipinas na si James Yap ay most popular player, mahahati ang mga dahilan sa dalawa. Kapag ikaw ay Purefoods/Bmeg fan at James Yap fan ang sasabihin mo ay "Sikat siya dahil magaling" at kung ikaw naman ay fan ng ibang mga teams ang sasabihin mo ay "Sikat yan dahil kay Kris". Sinasabi nila yan dahil kahit saang poll na nagtatanong kung "Sino ang Player Mo?" ang laging lumalabas ay ang bar ni James ang pinakamataas.

James Yap

Pero ako meron din mga sariling dahilan kung bakit gusto ng mga tao si James Yap.

Una. Good looking, kita naman sa picture diba?

Pangalawa. Humble, bakit nasabing humble? kasi pag nakakatira siya ng buzzer beater/clutch shots/ at 3points hindi niya pinagyayabang. ang expression lang niya ay natural lang, hindi kagaya nung iba na sumisigaw pa. nagtatambling at tinatrashtalk pa ang kalaban.

Pangatlo. ay dahil franchise player siya ng Purefoods isa sa may pinakamaraming supporters na team sa PBA.

Pangapat. Pure Pinoy siya. syempre mas masarap nga namang suportahan ang isang purong pinoy at walang halong dayuhan sa dugo diba? kung mapapansin mo nga eh lahat ng mga star sa PBA ngayon ay puro Fil-Am at ang iba pa nga eh hindi man lang marunong magsalita ng tagalog at meron pa ngang player na peke ang papeles pero nakakalaro pa din at siya ay si..... secret. pero ang team niya ay nalipad :D

At sa mga nagsasabing si James Yap ay isa lamang overrated na player sa PBA ay marahil kayo ay insecure lang sa kanya dahil ang Idol niyo ay hindi Most Popular Player at hindi pa nagiging MVP.

Reality Bites! masasabi mo bang overrated ang isang player kung dalawang beses na siyang naging MVP? masasabi mo bang bobo maglaro ang isang player na kahit tatlo ang injuries ay umaaverage pa din ng 20pts pataas?. at kung hindi siya magaling ay bakit siya napabilang sa Team Pilipinas dati at ngayon ay hinihiram ng Smart Gilas para makasama sa international games nila.

At bakit siya magiging mukha ng PBA kung hindi siya magaling?. at kung bakit ko nasasabing siya ang mukha ng PBA ay dahil sa mga dahilan na ito.

-Palagi siya ang ginagawang cover ng Sports Magazine ng PBA. 

-Kapag commercial siya ang huling pinapakita.

-Sa Intro Video ng PBA na pinapalabas bago magsimula ang isang game nila siya yung nasa hulihan na pinapakita

-Sa Calendar ng PBA siya din ang nasa pinakahuling page.

-At pati ang PBAlive 2011 na computer game ay siya din ang Icon.


-At meron pang isa, malamang ay napanood niyo din yung SMART Ultimate All Star Weekend? kita naman sa banner ng PBA All-Star siya yung may malaking picture na nasa middle AT siya din ang huling pinakilala sa line-up ng PBA AT siya din ang ininterview na parang nagsasabing siya yung representative ng PBA tapos sa NBA eh si Kobe. 

At dahil nga Magaling ay Sikat at kapag sikat madaming endorser at commercial sige nga. pipiliin ba ng NIKE ang endorser kung pipityugin ang player? hindi diba? oh yun yon mga dudes.

Kung hindi ka pa rin satisfied sa mga nasabi ko ay manuod ka ng game nila kahit yung start lang, yung pinapakilala pa lang ang starting five, hintayin mong tawagin ang Jersey Number at Pangalan niya Laksan mo ang Volume ng TV at makinig sa posibleng maririnig.

Ibalik Muli ang Sugarfree

After 12 years of KULET songs "Sugarfree" one of my favorite OPM band decided to disband.

Ebe Dancel (vocals/guitars),
Jal Taguibao (bass/back-up vocals) and
Kaka Quisimbing (drums)

Isang gabi habang ako ay nagcocomputer ay narinig ko sa TV namin ang balitang nagdisband na ang Sugarfree noon pang March 1, 2011 at nagdecide na din si Ebe ang kanilang vocalist na maging Solo-Artist  

Nung marinig ko yun ay para akong nanghihinayang isa kasi sila sa mga OPM bands na hinahangaan at pinakikinggan ko. Katunayan nga ay habang ginagawa ko 'tong blog na 'to ay mga kanta nila ang nadidinig ko.

At masasabi ko ngang ang mga kanta nila ay bahagi ng nakaraan ko oh nakaraan mo din. at marahil ang mga kanta nila ay inawit mo din? natawa ka din ba sa mga Lyrics ng "Nangangawit" at "Kung Ayaw Mo na sa Akin"? naging lullaby mo din ba minsan ang kanta nilang "Tulog Na"?. pero eto sure ako, na kahit hindi ka fan nila ay alam mo pa rin ang chorus ng "Makita Kang Muli". diba?.

Pero marahil din sa impluwensiya ng K-POP at ibang foreign artist ay natabunan na sa isip ng mga ibang pilipino ang mga kantang nabanggit ko. at sa tingin ko din dahil sa mga gadgets ngayon na may mp3 wala ng nakakaisip makinig ng kanta sa Radyo. inaamin ko na ang Sugarfree ay isa din sa mga unNoticed great band dito sa Pinas at maraming hindi nakakakilala sa mga kanta nila pero sa mga makakabasa nito ako na ang nagsasabi kahit itry mo lang pakinggan subukan mong iplay sa youtube ang kahit isang kanta nila. at habang ginagawa mo 'yon isaisip mo ang bawat mga linya at tumingin ka sa title ng kanta baka marahil makilala mo na sila.

para sa mga gustong maghanap ng kanta nila irerecommend ko ang mga best songs nila sa playlist ko.

- Kwarto - Makita Kang Muli - Tulog Na - Kung Ayaw Mo na sa Akin - Nangangawit - Hari ng Sablay - Dear Kuya - Wag Ka ng Umiyak - Hay Buhay - Wala Nang Hihilingin -

At naniniwala din pala ako na si Ebe Dancel(kanilang vocalist) ay isang modernong makata. Makikita niyo naman at mapapatunayan kapag inyong pinakinggan ang mga kanta nila habang tumitingin sa Lyrics. kaya 'ko nga nagustuhan ang Sugarfree eh dahil sa mga kanta nila na talagang tumutugma sa anumang aspeto ng buhay. 

 Sugarfree's best Lines in their songs:

                 "Di mo lang alam, dala mo’y ligaya kung marinig mo ang tibok ng aking puso sinasabing habang ika’y kapiling, wala na akong hihilingin"

                                        --Wala nang Hihilingin--

"Sa dami dami ba naman ng gustong malimutan, ikaw pa ang naiwan sa puso't isipan"

                                                 --Hangover--

                   "Kung ayaw mo na ako Leche lalong ayoko sa'yo" 

                               --Kung ayaw mo na sa Akin--

"Patawarin mo ako kung ang kinikilos ko, ay kabaliktaran ng tunay na nadarama ko"

                                        --Nangangawit--

"Ikaw ang gabay sa aking tuwina ang aking ilaw sa gabing mapanglaw, tanging ikaw"

                             --Makita Kang Muli--

At bago matapos ang aking blog ay magiiwan ako ng isang kanta nila, hindi siya Single kaya maraming hindi alam itong kantang ito, ngayon 'ko nga lang ito nalaman at habang pinapakinggan ko ito ay...... naluha ako fvck! hahaha! whatever eto siya guys try to listen :D

FAREWELL  Sugarfree

Harry Potter's Ending will be Epic!

How do you plan to prepare for the final Harry Potter film hitting theaters on July 15th? (14th here in Philippines) hmmm read the books from the first part to the last? (It doesn't mean that I have the books haha) or make a Movie marathon when you will watch the Sorcerer's Stone up to Deathly Hallows part 1? me? I do not know, I just want to watch Deathly Hallows part 2 whole when it shows period :D 

What to expect?, a lot of spells, a lot of tears to fall down and to hear the Movie-world most famous line "Expecto Patronum" and the final face-off between Harry and  Lord Voldermort. and I am pretty sure that when you walk out of the theater that is the time to get out the tissues and if you do not have use your shirt and hands (Before we go on I gonna say that I am not a very big fan of this movie series but I like it very much hehehe)

Actually when I heard the words "Epic Movie" the first movie that comes to my mind is the Lord of the Rings series. but I do not want to have an argument for what movie series is great of all! among Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, but you will have to agree to me that they are both better than Twilight. Am i right?

Lord of the Rings is a Masterpiece, Harry Potter is a Phenomenon, and Twilight is just a Film. Sorry for the fans but without of bias I can say that Twilight is just famous because of the 2 hunk guys there, and that is why the majority fans of that film is all Girls. and you cannot question me. You cannot argue to a Observer because you are a fan. did you get my point? (I wish you do) and after this Deathly Hallow's part 2 ends, the next movie series that will become EPIC is neither "Pirates of the Caribbean" or "the Chronicles of Narnia". Sorry again for Twilight fans just like Hayley William's said "You are the only Exception". :D

Ron and Hermione

Do you see the picture above? ohh this is one of the moment that fans have been waiting at long time. When Hermione and I will change our bows. Ohh........ sorry haha I mean when Ron and Hermione will exchanging their bows. :D

The pictures below shows that this series stands for so long and that is why it became Phenomenon :D

Hermione,Harry and Ron

Harry, Ron and Hermione

This Final trailer of the Deathly Hallows means a lot. When I watching it there is something that i can't describe with words. and sometimes goosebumps is not the exact word to say. 

July 14 or July 15? anu ba talaga!! :D

anyway Thanks for reading
