FB stat: MNL-DVO booking

I'm wondering if i should have moved my Manila-Davao flight to tomorrow instead of today.

Actually, the first option was to fly out on Saturday morning but I was able to work around the agenda so I could come in a day earlier. Now I'm thinking whether I should have stuck to the original plan.

Hindsight is indeed 20/20.

Pre-flight sleep deprivation

I finished packing late and I didn't get to sleep much this morning. It may be because I'm excited for my trip or what but it could very well be something else.

One thing I know for sure is that I lack sleep and I'm just running on pure adrenaline. I hope I don't drop down tonight due to exhaustion.

Destination: Davao

I'm flying to Davao this afternoon and judging from the pre-trip hype, we're expecting no less than a blast.

WF upsets (1)Duke; (5)UNC squeaks past FSU

Duke's first number one ranking after 3 long years will only last a week as (6)Wake Forest stunned the Blue Devils, 70-68, with a buzzer-beating layup from James Johnson. It will certainly knock Duke out of the top spot when the next rankings come out while the Demon Deacons should rise in the polls.

Meanwhile, Ty Lawson drained a three-pointer at the buzzer to help (5)North Carolina hold off Florida State, 80-77. This is the Tar Heels (18-2, 4-2 ACC) fourth straight conference win after starting off with losses to Boston College and Wake Forest.

Duke is tops

AP Top 5 (as of January 26, 2009)

1. Duke (ACC) - moved up from 2nd
2. Connecticut (Big East) - moved up from 3rd
3. Pittsburgh (Big East) - moved up from 4th
4. Oklahoma (Big 12) - moved up from 6th
5. North Carolina (ACC) - remains unchanged

Tough as nails

"You play like you've never busted your ACL. You always go all out and never hold back."

That's one of the best sports-related compliments one can ever get. Definitely appreciated.

I'm off to Davao this weekend. It should be fun.

2 May 2009

Mark your calendars.

This will not end in a 12-round decision.

Clemson's Chapel Hill curse

Fifth-ranked North Carolina unleashed a spectacular display of speed and firepower during the second half to dominate tenth-ranked Clemson, 94-70, at the Dean Dome. It's Carolina's third straight conference win after dropping their first two.

The Tar Heels are 54-0 at home against the Tigers. It's currently the NCAA's longest active home-win streak against one opponent.

(5)North Carolina (17-2, 3-2 ACC) should move up the polls next week as (1)Wake Forest's loss to Virginia Tech will certainly bump them down the rankings. (2)Duke will most likely take the top spot should they win over Maryland this weekend.

I had just been cleared. Ready to move on.

UNC still 5th at latest polls

AP Top 5 (as of January 19, 2009)

1. Wake Forest (ACC) - moved up from 2nd
2. Duke (ACC) - moved up from 3rd
3. Connecticut (Big East) - moved up from 4th
4. Pittsburgh (Big East) - dropped from 1st
5. North Carolina (ACC) - remains unchanged

Chop them locks, trim them tresses

I don't know if it's just me or if it's indeed a trend but I'm starting to dig women with short locks. Then again, maybe I'm just late.

I hope I didn't miss out though.

Satisfactory grade

Far from the best but fair enough.

(5)UNC squares ACC record

Number five North Carolina racked up two straight conference wins to square their ACC record to 2-2. They followed an 83-61 victory over Virginia the other night with a 82-65 win over Miami today.

Three of the other top 5 teams were in action today. Top-ranked Pittsburgh lost to (20)Louisville, so expect Carolina (16-2, 2-2 ACC) to move up the polls next week. Either (2)Wake Forest or (3)Duke should replace Pitt's number one spot as they beat fellow ranked teams (10)Clemson and (13)Georgetown respectively.

It is possible that three ACC teams (WF, Duke, UNC) will occupy the top three spots when the latest rankings come out on Tuesday (Manila time).

McGB'd

After days of craving for it, I finally had my McGangbang early this morning. It took a whole lot of explaining and the folks at McDo Greenbelt still couldn't get it. Needless to say, I just had to make it myself. Word to self-satisfaction.

Solve your girl problems

Let's keep this simple.

If she's not putting in, then kick her out. But if she's putting out, then keep her in.

Hear me?

The nose knows

If Pinocchio were a girl, better believe I'd know how she'd look like.

Tar Heels suffer 2nd straight ACC loss

With (3)UNC's recent road loss to (4)Wake Forest, the Tar Heels falls to fifth on the latest AP poll.

North Carolina (14-2, 0-2 ACC) has now lost its first two conference games after being expected to run out the ACC. They're not out of the conference race yet, but they need to get their act together soon.

Pittsburgh remains number one while Wake Forest moves up to second. Duke drops to third and Connecticut climbs one spot to fourth.
