I finally figured out who "A" is!

2012-01-21T01:17:00.004+08:00

You know, that bitch in Pretty Little Liars? She's on another show! S/he's...Ok. The hooded guy who is probably not really "A" but who knows was Cassie's (The Secret Circle) dad John Blackwell. Apparently he hates witch-hunters and Pennsylvanians.Photo recap, it's more fun in the Philippines style, later!

Cassie is not happy with the PCA result...

2011 came and went like Asiong Salonga killing the bad guys then being killed himself (OOPS SPOILER ALERT!) so let's end the year with a completely irrelevant conclusion of the already-stated premise with some awards they had not come up with -- so yes, no team, player of the year and that shit. This time let's go on local sporting events. Ten categories of pure unadulterated sporting

Some say the NBA should just ditch the first 2 months or so of the regular season since nobody except for hardcore basketball fans care on what happens in the early games. Well... don't people ignore the first part of any season of any league? Unless it's the UAAP and its ilk since there are only 14 games to go around.So thanks to the lockout, it finally happened. The NBA starts its season on

2011-12 PBA Philippine Cup quotient cheatsheet

Screw the NBA. We all know that's fixed, so let's watch the PBA, where not fixed happens!Heck you went here for the quotients so here's the dirt, these aren't really quotients, but differentials. But the end-result is the same as long as you're using the same subset of data, in this case, scores among the tied teams. It gets different if it's overall quotients, and say, two teams have the same

Isn't it sembreak already, since in baseball they're in the League Champi0nship Series already?That means students had took their Finals already. Wait, these athletes are students? They study?!

When JV Casio missed the supposedly game-winning heave on the bronze medal game against Korea, Mico Halili was silent. I switched off the TV, and I didn't know if Halili ever spoke again on that telecast.That should've been the collective expression of the Gilas hopefuls when Casio missed. Or when the other players missed free throws. They missed free throws as if George Muresan was guarding

The last among the intercontinental championship that doubles as an Olympic qualifier, the FIBA Asia Championship will be the most open in decades... that is, if you ignore the top two teams. Unfortunately, only one team goes to the Olympics outright, but fortunately, the top two teams had either suffered defeats in the tuneup tournaments, or suffered injuries.This leaves a window of hope for the

Sweep dreams are made of these

2011-09-11T01:05:00.002+08:00

The perfect season is one of the rarest feats in sports. The longer the season, the more improbable it happens. In the local college sports scene, factors unique to the setting had made the sweep sweeter with its added perks.The local college hoops scene has seen quite a number of elimination round sweeps and near-sweeps. Since the start of the Final Four format in 1993, there had been two sweeps

Screw the NBA lockout. While the NBA went from having the hottest offseason in history of offseasons, now they followed-up the epic trashing of LBJ and Co. with a scintillating lockout. What's the biggest gainer in all of this except the guys who run NBA Premium TV, as they virtually earn their pesos by airing nothing? The PBA, that's what! Wait, what? In case you were living under a rock,

Tragedy! Ginebra failed to make to the Finals!

Ah yes. That time of the year where we ponder if the PBA can even make it next year -- no one's watching, no one is caring, and more people want to know the result of a Adamson-NU game. Seriously.Sarcasm aside, the PBA has spoiled its fans by holding the one-game playoff -- holding an extra game to break a tie in the standings. Interestingly, this year, the PBA has stopped playing such games,

Week 2 Top 10: Dominance, and exceptions

2011-07-25T20:19:00.008+08:00

A week of college basketball has passed and we're treated, for the most part, a rather predictable slate of results, except for a couple of games. So we have a somewhat predictable Top 10 this week, except for a couple of teams.#1: Ateneo Blue EaglesThis week results: Defeated NU 86-62 and UE 73-61In a normal week, a game against NU should be easy and against UE to be tough; this year, it's the

Azkals vs. Kuwait: The most important match in Pinoy football history

2011-07-21T21:43:00.003+08:00

Ah, yes. For some reason, I love starting posts with "Ah, yes". So, ah, yes, the Azkals' match against the Kuwaitis is upon us. This series is, with no doubt, the most important in the history of football in this country. This will make or break apparent surging popularity of the Azkals. If they lose the series, you can practically kiss football in the country goodbye -- at most it'll be a niche

Inaugural Weekly Top 10 of 2011!

2011-07-17T22:46:00.013+08:00

Yay! College basketball season is back! And it restores sports sanity: more people watched the Ateneo-La Salle game (~15,000) vs. the Azkals home game (~12,000). So... is Pinoy basketball really dead?#1: Ateneo Blue EaglesThis week's result: Defeated DLSU 81-72The Blue Eagles notch this week's #1 with a defeat over La Salle -- presumably, that is a stronger opponent that any of the yet undefeated

Quick hits: NCAA Opening

NCAA was like a week late this year. Must be the first time in years they opened in July. Anyone know the reason? Anyway, here are the day's quick hits, judging by the linescores as I was not able to watch them (haha):San Beda 82, UPHSD 52I don't think any thing else has to be added here, except that maybe Perps should strongly reconsider letting their other tall guy play.

You can practically kiss your World Cup hopes goodbye for now, but maybe in the next 20 years at the earliest.Ideally, the target is to get to the fourth round, where no Southeast Asian team has been able to go to since this format was instituted. Practically, the target is to beat Sri Lanka, and see on how the team can handle the Kuwaitis. A third round appearance is a milestone, the fourth

Ever since the BANAT vs. COMELEC decision, there has been a new way in determining which party wins and how many seats they win.First the Supreme Court abolished the 2% threshold rule, since you can't fill up the 20% of the seats reserved for party-list reps with that rule.Second, they made the parties that have 2% or more of the
