See ya in SEABA

Booked another trip to Singapore for April/May to support our very own Gilas Pilipinas as they take on the rest of the Southeast Asian nations in the SEABA Championship. If we're following history and precedence, we're supposed to dominate and run away with the title.

Last time I was with Gilas in an international tourney, in Hong Kong for the Super Kung Sheung Cup last January 2013, they were able to upset a highly touted American team to win first place. Former cadet and current pro Kevin Alas was the hero in that game. He took home MVP honors as well.

Since Gilas is sending a revamped cadet roster, with a lot of rookies to the Men's/Senior pool, this will be their first test against international competition. Looking forward to see how they do.

Hope to see more Filipinos take the short trip to Singapore to cheer our team. It's the perfect setup for hoop junkies who want to take a break from work and enjoy basketball at the same time.

Singapore swipe

56 matches in 3 nights. That's all I'm gonna divulge.

Solo slinging in Singapore

Just got back to Manila from Singapore last night. What was once a trip filled with uncertainty may have turned out to be my best Singapore swing ever. I wanted to extend but rebooking a new flight and re-upping the hotel didn't seem to be practical from a cost-benefit perspective. Might as well just plan another trip soon because the plane tickets would cost about the same.
