Back from HK

Didn't really do much there except walk a lot. Won't be surprised if I lost weight. All I know is that my legs hurt every night. LOL.

I had all the opportunity to shop but I didn't get to buy anything. There were some stuff I wanted at H&M but the sizing was abysmal. Small was too small and medium was too big. Definitely disappointing.

Also, I slept early the whole time I was there. I'd be asleep by 10pm and would wake up around 6am. It was prolly because I had nothing to do at night. I didn't bring a laptop, and there wasn't much channels on the hotel cable TV.

Speaking of sleeping early, I missed out on a huge party at Dragon-I with my HK-based friends because of that. I was too knocked out to even hear any of the missed calls/messages.

Anyhow, if plans push through, I should be back in June or July. I just absolutely love Hong Kong.

HK hideaway

Heading out to Hong Kong in a bit. Last time I was there was in 2008, just before the Beijing Olympics, and it was only for less than a day.

So yes, I'm kinda stoked I'll be staying there for a few days, away from the extreme Manila heat. The only thing not so nice about the trip is that the weather is bad over there.

Oh well, still way better than here.

Conjugal FB

I see more and more couples sharing one Facebook account nowadays. I think that's tantamount to asking for trouble. You know, it's like digging on your backyard looking for dirt.

There are a number of things a couple can share, but Facebook is definitely not one of them.

Celtics are looking good

Since the Celtics are halfway to reaching the NBA Finals once again and if West Finals Game 1 was any indication, I think it'll be another Boston-LA championship series. I'm sure Kobe wants some revenge for the mauling that Paul Pierce and the Celtics handed to his Lakers a couple of years back.

Personally though, I want Grant Hill and Steve Nash to get their chances at winning a ring so perhaps I'd root for a Celtics-Suns matchup. That way, I wouldn't mind either team winning.

Ten thousand tweets

I finally hit the 10k plateau last week, thanks to TweetDeck. LOL.

I've been remiss on my Twitter game the past couple of months but regained momentum back when I finally gave in to downloading the third party application.

Looking forward to the next 10,000 tweets within the next year or so...

King without a Ring

Sorry Lebron. Maybe next year.


I won't feel bad for him though, because he will have the entire NBA at his mercy by July 1st.

Goodbye Cleveland.

2010 Election aftermath

Looks like AbNoy is headed towards a convincing victory and perhaps Josh Aquino just might be the first mentally-ill kid to reside in Malacañang.

I'm foreseeing a lot of educated folks emmigrating soon.

Bulls run over Rockets

Alright, so some knuckleheads went on NT saying that Hakeem's 1994 and 1995 championship teams will beat Jordan's Bulls had the GOAT not skipped the NBA to play minor league baseball.

Here's my take as posted on NT:

The Bulls won 6 titles in the 90s, both three-peats. The Rockets won 2 in 1994 and 1995.

Isn't it a painful coincidence that the Rockets won their only titles when MJ was out? They weren't even relevant in any of the other playoffs in the 90s when MJ was playing.

That said, I gotta give it to the Bulls. Heck, Hakeem couldn't even reach the Finals on any of the other years so what makes some fools think he can barge into the Finals and beat MJ's Bulls?

Then MJ comes back and suddenly the Rockets disappear yet again.

--------------

Facts don't lie. Jordan and his Bulls owned the 1990s and if MJ didn't take a leave for almost two full seasons, we might be looking at eight consecutive championships for Chicago.

Go GREEN

This is the only time, at least as far as I can remember, that I'm supporting GREEN.

Sulong G1BO!!!

May we have peaceful and honest elections.

Go G1BO!

Go G1BO

The best man for the job is Gibo Teodoro. All the other presidentiables don''t even come close.

ArenaBall Week 2 postponed

ArenaBall Philippines' Week 2 games were moved from May 9 to May 15 (or 16) due to the observance of Mothers' Day. I find it weird because I've never seen any major event being postponed due to this kind of celebration.

I'm baffled.

That baccarat rush

I haven't felt the thrill of playing high stakes baccarat for a long time until a few days ago. Can't say I missed the feeling but it definitely got me sweating while squeezing cards.
