Why do referees always get the blame


Last night, B-Meg won and get the first ticket to advance to the PBA Commissioner's cup Finals. B-Meg won the first two games of the best of five series then Ginebra take home the "W" of Game 3.

The series has been much awaited by many, not just by the fans of both teams but other basketball enthusiast in the country. The match-up between the said two teams are really rare to happen in a series. 

After the game, trending topics has been trend. Sports analyst take their notes, Fan debates. Players give comment, update tweets, post Statuses and get some reactions. Some players of the loosing team get the blame as well as the referees officiating the game.

Why do referees always get the blame?. Because they called the should be non-call?, Whistled at the wrong time?, improper decision making?. Whatever reason,  it always ended to this; The fans of the winning team will agrees to the calls and the other side fans will do the opposite of it.

But how can we say that a game is fixed and managed by a biased officiating?. Let's just break it down (this is just my opinion).
* Did both teams get an equal ratio of the number of fouls that they've taken? (No, the winner team always have the least number of fouls, that is always happened in a game more often)

* Did the players make their shot into the basket?
(ibig kong sabihin, kung yung mga open opportunities ba e nagagamit nila para maka-score? kung hindi, isa din yun sa dahilan kung bakit lamang ang kalaban. Hindi sila makahabol)

At higit sa lahat:
*Did the replay of the fouls shows the contact clearly? 
( Napakaraming replay ng foul kagabi, lahat yun klarong-klaro. kung hindi ka kumbinsado eto ang replay ng buong game, panoorin mo >> http://pinoy-ako.info/more-videos/63186-pba-b-meg-derby-ace-llamados-vs-brgy-ginebra-gin-kings-semis-replay-video-17-april-2012.html )

Why blame the referees?, Why not blame Coach Siot?, Why not blame Jackson Vroman who out-rebounded by Marc Pingris who is just 6"5, Why not the player who just out focused on the game in the fourth quarter?. 

At matanong ko lang, which possession/strategy has the ability to get a foul? The one who focuses in inside scoring or the one who loves the three point shooting?. Take a time, make a review, and give an answer!

Congratulations B-Meg Llamados :D

For some: Sometimes the realities hurt because you want that all favor is just for you. And the problem if you are a die-hard fan, you just cannot resist the truth because you don't want your support to be disregard. And with that you just keep on insisting the blame to the referees because you do not have anything else to finger-point.

Follow God's direction, You are in good way


Holy Week, when this week comes. Some people will call for swimming, outing, and other party staffs. But for me I will just be at home. 

My last year's Holy Week will be the same as this week now. I will stay together with my family, watching some recollection staffs on TV, Attending procession on Good Friday's night.

Its the week on how we look and reflect on the suffering and death of Christ. It previews of how our Lord Jesus Christ sacrificed himself just to save us from our sins.

This morning, I've been searching on Youtube. And I found a video thumbnail that encourages me to watch it, the video is entitled "Peter Parker Becomes a Priest". That time, I am thinking of Tobey Maguire will be in the video and doing some role of a priest in a movie or show, but it's not. I look on the interface and I see that the video's length is 20 mins above. I mean, this video is so long, I haven't finish watching a video on Youtube with a length 20 mins without pass-forwarding. But when the host starts his talk about "Why he chooses to be a priest and why he is a Catholic" I turn back saying to myself that oh, his story-telling is quite cool, his way of interaction is so more interesting.

His name is Father Andrew Trapp. He said, for the first time, he was just like a normal kid, watching Ninja Turtles, Transformers etc. And one day, God calls him and says God want him to be in that place. He believes that that is what God's reason why he is created for, to be a Priest. He also said that each of everyone will have a path to heaven. God has a plan for us from the beginning and we are created with a specific way to reach Heaven. he added.

And why he compares Peter Parker's life to his story?, I would first want you to watch it whole :)
(You'll never fall asleep at his sermon, swear)


Just say YES to whatever God' calling you to, and that you will be happy and fulfilled
--Father Andrew

The video was so inspiring i hope you give it a time to watch, and May God bless us all..

B-Meg: See you on Easter Sunday!


"See you on Easter Sunday", that are the words that I want to say after the do or die game of B-Meg Llamados vs Meralco Bolts in the afternoon of this day. 

My team is now again in the edge of getting swept in a Quarter Finals in two consecutive conferences. Records will be detailed again, commentators are guessing who's ahead, Devoted fans are praying and hoping for a win, People pressuring their wants. But the game is not for them to decide. Or not for us to decide.

If the team lose, fans also lose. How long we will have to wait for a series between Ginebra and B-Meg?. What words to turn back when other team's fans will mock against our team when they lose tonight?. But whatever things have to be ready or to think of, we should remember that the fight is still far from over.

What team never loses?. Think of how many wins B-Meg had against Meralco, Think of how many Playoffs the franchise's have been through than Meralco and how many Do or Die game that the team' survived. Yes, Statistics are just numbers but it says a lot.

Look on the bright side!
We will say the first phrase later!.

Achilles and Josh Groban


I've watched the movie "Troy" this afternoon, It's for the fourth time? i think. but I did watch it on theater when it has been release in 2004, but it's a good movie so there is no sound of mistake in re-watching this movie. And I encouraging you to do it too.

The movie is starring Brad Pitt, Eric Bana and Orlando Bloom. The film is so interesting to watch a second and third and more time because you're able to notice small details in the actors' performances. In my fourth time watching it i concluded that one of the thing that causes the lost of the city is because of the Trojan's belief in their Gods. (I also consider Paris decision of taking home Helen from Greece). 

That Wooden Horse that they treated as a gift from Poseidon should've been burned with the Greeks as Paris wishes it to his Father, but some advisers of Priam (The King of Troy) told the king to take it to Troy and call for celebration for their victory (cause they thought that Greeks has retreated)

And why this post is entitled "Achilles and Josh Groban"?, it is because of the ending soundtrack of the movie "Remember Me" sang by Josh Groban. the song is so fit in the ending scene where Achilles died because of an arrow shotted by Paris. 

The song has the dramatic sound that can cause some tears to you, that's why I've searched it after watching the movie. check it out.


 Troy is on my Top 10 movies that i like.

B-Meg Planet's population, decreased?


As I observed the last two games among B-Meg and Ginebra. Ginebra seemed to have the more fans going out of their house to watch live in the venue.

We heard the Ginebra crowd chanting last Friday their team's name four times in that ball game. Compared to the game last conference which the crowd split in half in terms of cheering. I mean half, hating-hati I saw Jay-Jay Helterbrand get booed by B-Meg fans in their game last conference, but did not happen in the last two games of this two most popular teams in the league.

I think the reason is Kerby. I think He is one player who has a big fan base in the league. And after leaving B-Meg to wear the Gin-Kings jersey, his fans will also transfer to the other side to support him. It could be, right?

He received 27,790 votes for up-coming all-star game He is the fifth player who has the highest votes. And some of that 27,790 votes came from ex B-Meg devotee. Don't they?
