PacMan Vs. Golden Boy

MMA or particularly the UFC have been beating the hell out of boxing for years now, well at least the last two and a half years. America's heavyweights are gone, the Tyson's the Holyfield's and the Jones. But if theres some who is keeping boxing alive it's our own Manny Pacquiao "the Mexicutioner" and the Golden Boy of boxing Oscar De La Hoya. And if this two boxing greats would meet in the same ring it would be the great for boxing for the filipinos and for both fighters. For Dela Hoya, to end his career with a bang againts the World no.1 Pound for Pound , and specially for the Pacman, if he wins he can preserve his name in the record books as one of the greats.

Please Bob make this happen !!!

Article from PhilBoxing.Com

CEBU CITY -- Close Pacquiao associate Rex 'Wakee' Salud says that the previously fantasy-like pairing of the Golden Boy Oscar de la Hoya and current pound-for-pound king Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao is close to reality.

Salud, Pacquiao and party arrived in Cebu yesterday afternoon via a chopper from Bacolod City after Pacquiao's sorties to Iloilo and Bacolod to honor his promise to give aid to victims badly hit by a recent typhoon.

Salud informed that Pacquiao is leaving for the U.S. on the 24th of this month where he is going to sit down with Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, trainer Freddie Roach and possibly Golden Boy people to discuss the possibility of a Dec. 6 fight with de la Hoya.

Arum, in an earlier radio interview with journalist Dennis Principe over DZSR, revealed that he had preliminary discussions with the Golden Boy people on the possibility of a De La Hoya-Pacquiao fight and that De La Hoya is looking at four names for his farewell fight on Dec. 6 and these are Floyd Mayweather, Jr., Felix Tito Trinidad, Miguel Cotto and Manny Pacquiao. Because Mayweather has recently retired and Trinidad is hugely overweight, that leaves Cotto and Pacquiao as the remaining choices.

Cotto will be fighting the dangerous Antonio Margarito on July 26 and the result of that fight will most likely also influence De La Hoya's final choice of his Dec. 6 opponent.

Commenting on the proposed Pacquiao-Soto fight on Nov. 16, Salud said "No, we do not want that fight. What we need now are the big fights. Let Manny fight De La Hoya now and then Hatton afterwards. After that, if Manny wants to retire, then he can retire."

If the fantasy-like De La Hoya-Pacquiao fight pushes thru, the two will meet at welterweight limit of 147 lbs.

De La Hoya (39-5-0 30KOs), 35 years old, 5' 10 1/2 inches tall, a gold-medalist in the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, started his professional career at super featherweight (130 lbs) but had fought at junior middleweight and middleweight (154-160 lbs) since 2001. He is the only boxer in history to have won titles in 6 different weight divisions.

Pacquiao (47-3-2 35KOs), 29 yearls old, 5' 6" tall, started his career in 1995 at light flyweight (106 lbs) and fought mostly as a flyweight (112 lbs) in his early years. He started fighting at super bantam (122 lbs) in 1999, featherweight (126 lbs) in 2003, super feather (130 lbs) in 2005 and at lightweight (135 lbs) only last month. Pacquiao is one of only nine boxers in history to have won titles in four weight divisions. He also won the Ring Magazine title, his fifth, at super feather but that title is not officially recognized.

The weight and height disparity between De La Hoya and Pacquiao were what made this fight unthinkable and unimaginable at first. But don't tell that to Freddie Roach, the revered 2-time trainer of the year who was able to transform the reckless, one-dimentional, always come forward Pacquiao to a two-handed, cerebral wrecking machine. Roach also trained De La Hoya during Oscar's fight with Mayweather last year.

“When I trained Oscar he was just having trouble pulling the trigger and he’s a little bit slow. If Stevie Forbes can hit him as easily as he did, I know Pacquiao will knock him out,“ Roach told Sports Chat in an earlier interview.

“I want Manny to weigh-in 140 pounds and then at fight time he’ll be at 145 he’ll have his power and speed. I just don’t see Oscar handling Manny at this point of their careers,“ Roach would say. “Manny told me he’d love to fight Oscar and Oscar has made it public he’d love to fight Manny and I think it’s a big, big fight.”

Must Watch !!: Detroit Rock City

HBO - July 20, 2008 - Sunday - 9:30 am

When KISS, the biggest rock act of the '70s rolls into town, four diehard high school fans – Hawk (Furlong), Lex (Andrews), Trip (DeBello) and Jam (Huntington) have concert tickets and are ready to rock. But things take a nasty turn when Jam's zealot of a mother decides she has other plans – and destroys the priceless tickets! Now it's every man for himself as they do just about anything in order to get new ones. Begging, borrowing, stealing and even stripping become the order for the day in this blast from the past teen comedy. KISS fans should watch out for newly shot footage of the legendary gross-out group in action!

_________________________________________________

Detroit Rock City is a 1999 cult film about four teenagers in a Kiss cover band who try to see their idols in Detroit in 1978. It takes its title from the Kiss song of the same name. The movie failed at the box office, grossing fewer than five million dollars domestically. It has since become a cult classic for Kiss fans and metalheads in general. It has been often compared to the 1993 film Dazed and Confused.

The new 3G iPhone may seem cheaper at the onset, but the catch here is the bundled plan that goes along with it. Gizmodo has come up with a comparative table of what the new iPhone will really cost you on an AT&T plan. Surpisingly (or not), it’s actually more expensive than the first one albeit just being a hundred or so despite having a lower unit selling price.

On the local front, although nothing’s certain yet, Yugatech via a reliable source has come up with the possible pricing scheme for the iPhone. It comes as no surprise that a 2-year lock-in period is required and higher end plans will have the privilege of getting the Apple mobile phone at a cheaper price (if not free), but the kicker here is that it’s only the 8GB model being discussed here.

G-Max 3500 iPhone 3G
Initial Fee: Php9,995
Monthly Fee: Php3,500
Free Text: 650
Free Calls: 750 mins.
Globe to Globe: Php3.50/minute
Globe to Non-Globe: Php4.50/minute
Excess SMS Rates: Php0.50/text

Globe Platinum 5000 iPhone 3G
Initial Fee: FREE
Monthly Fee: Php5,000
Free Text: 650
Free Calls: 1,100 mins.
Globe to Globe: Php3.50/minute
Globe to Non-Globe: Php4.50/minute
Excess SMS Rates: Php0.50/text

If you do the math, you’ll actually be spending P 93,995.00 for an 8GB iPhone on the G-Max 3500 plan, and P 120,000.00 on the Platinum spread over two years. The prepaid kit isn’t looking too enticing either as Vodafone’s unit-only price of the iPhone gives us a hint into the possible price range in the local market. Unfortunately, Apple is also implementing a new mandatory in-store activation policy which means you’d have to go to authorized telco distributors to have it activated. This greatly reduces the chances of getting an iPhone in the black market at a cheaper price. Sheesh! The 3G iPhone is starting to look more less-affordable by the minute. September is the supposed roll-out date of these new iPhone-based plans so by then, we can probably get a clearer picture of what it’ll really cost us.

The iPhone is undeniably a hot commodity, but I’m hoping (probably against all odds) that Globe or any telco for that manner will not use it to bait consumers into getting plans that just aren’t worth it.

After all, current plans put a premium on SMS and calls while the biggest asset the iPhone its data usage. Telcos should offer a more impressive data plans that not only is consumer-friendly, but reliable and sound as well. With the entry of the iPhone into the local market, now is the perfect opportunity to push for data plans which has taken a back seat to cheaper call and text rates primarily due to the lack of a device that can truly maximize the usage of such a service. This, in turn, will be an added source of revenue considering how under-used it has been for the last couple of years.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Globe officials will realize this and make a concerted effort to improve on the existing 3G/data usage scheme and make the iPhone more affordable, not just for the well-off crowd, but more so for the greater majority. After all, isn’t it Steve’s dream to have everyone use the iPhone?

Finals Fantasy : Lakers-Celtics

I have been thinking of this finals match-up for a long time. I thought that it will only be a fantasy. But since Boston had the Big 3, and L.A. got good players around Kobe, it made me think that this could be possible. Its like the Ateneo-La Salle Rivalry x20

Less than 24 hours after the Staples Center crowd chanted “We want Boston,” a small, upper deck cadre of Celtics fans who had infiltrated the Palace of Auburn Hills broke out their own famed refrain:

Beat L.A.! Beat L.A.!

Celtics-Lakers. Nevermind saying it. It’s more likely you screamed it, screamed it so loud that you’ll need those extra days between now and Game 1 of the NBA Finals to rest your vocal cords.Amazing, isn’t it? Not only will the greatest nine months in the history of Boston sports include yet another run for yet another championship, but this one will be a throwback showdown of epic proportions.

The Celtics, 89-81 victors over the Detroit Pistons in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals last night at The Palace of Auburn Hills, host the Lakers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night at the Garden, meaning there will be plenty of history and nostalgia for everyone.

The Celtics swept the old Minneapolis Lakers in the 1959 NBA Finals. They beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals in ’62, ’63, ’65, ’66, ’68 and, perhaps most famously, ’69. Did they ever get those balloons out of the Forum rafters?

And then Bird, McHale and Parish came along, and the Celtics beat the Lakers in the finals in 1984 but lost to them in ’85 and ’87.

What’s best about this is that the NBA won’t have to hold cue cards in front of these modern-day Celtics with instructions to say something light and clever about the history of this Gigantor of a basketball rivalry.

“It means everything to Boston fans,” said Paul Pierce , who gets it. “I think that’s pretty much what got me started in basketball, growing up in Los Angeles, watching the Lakers and the Celtics.

“As a kid, I hated the Celtics. And now I’m going home to play against my team that I grew up watching. It’s a dream come true, man, just thinking about it. I think that rivalry really revolutionized the game of basketball, and now I’m part of it.”

And now I’m part it. That’s wonderful. It’s perfect. By speaking those words, Pierce wasn’t merely paying homage to the great Celtics-Lakers rivalry; he was getting down on his hands and knees and thanking his maker for allowing him to add his name to the rivalry.

And then there was Kevin Garnett, whose arrival in Boston last summer made this upcoming series possible to enjoy. Unlike Pierce, Garnett did not grow up in the Los Angeles area and did not grow up hating the Celtics. But he was a kid with a basketball under his arm, glued to the TV, glued to Celtics-Lakers.

Taking us into his very own way-back machine, Garnett introduced us to the days of “. . . that big plate of food in front of me, watching the Lakers and Celtics play on Sunday, Hubie Brown and Dick Stockton doing the game.

“I remember that like it was yesterday. I remember my mom telling me, ‘Don’t get too close to the TV, it’ll kill your eyes.’ ”

Garnett then paused and said, “Man, I’m looking forward to this.”

Last Friday, the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Spurs in Game 5 to advance to the NBA Finals. On Saturday, the Boston Celtics topped the Detroit Pistons in Game 6 to meet the Lakers in the 2008 Finals. With the NBA championship on the line, the NBA’s two most storied franchises will face off.

Both teams entered the playoffs as the number one seed in their conference. The Lakers came out of the Western Conference by leaning on Kobe Bryant’s MVP skills. The Celtics are led by the trio of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen.

Boston’s biggest advantage in the Finals will be their homecourt advantage. It will be difficult for the Lakers to win a game in Boston — especially with their rowdy fans doing all they can to bring another championship to Boston. Garnett, Pierce and Allen are now all play very well and the young players on the team have grown up in a hurry.

The Lakers, on the other hand, have the best player in the planet. Bryant will be tough for anyone to stop. On top of that, their team is amazingly deep. From Pau Gasol to Lamar Odom to their young and explosive bench, it’ll be difficult to keep the Lakers from scoring. Defensively, the Lakers are also very underrated.

As a Laker Fan my Prediction Lakers in 5. Yeah I said it. !!

Chick of the Week : Yvonne Strahovski

Australian Actress who plays Sarah Walker on NBC's Series "Chuck"

Birth Name: Yvonne Strzechowski
Date of Birth: July 30, 1982 in Maroubra, Sydney, Australia
Height: 5′ 9″

Graduated from the School of Contemporary Arts at the University of Western Sydney in 2003.
Speaks fluent Polish.
Extended Profile
Upon graduating from the renowned Theatre Nepean (the prestigious actor training institution within the School of Contemporary Arts at the University of Western Sydney) in 2003, Yvonne Strahovski quickly established herself as a newcomer well worth watching.

Recognizing her talent, Australia’s Channel 7 soon snapped her up for its new drama series, “Headland” Although the show was short-lived, it was enough to help get her cast opposite Colin Friels in the television movie “Blackjack-Dead Memory” She then went on to play Martina in Channel 9’s drama-series, “Sea Patrol”.

Two short years later, Strahovski landed her first feature film, playing Sondra in “Middle of Nowhere.” This was closely followed by the soon-to-be-released psychological thriller, “The Plex”.

Strahovski also has a passionate interest in theater as both an actor and writer. Earlier this year, she resurrected her cult play, “Kieslowski’s Neck,” which opened to rave reviews in Sydney.

Within days of her arrival in Los Angeles just a few short months ago, Strahovski immediately landed her role in NBC’s “Chuck”. The 24-year-old auditioned for the series during her third day in Los Angeles. Strzechowski admitted she was still unsure how she nabbed the lead TV role, although she was given a hint: “I know that one of the distinguishing things was I looked like I could hold a gun, even though I’d never held one before,” she said. “And I’m physically able to do the martial arts and all that stuff. I’ve got muscles; I’m not really a girly girl.”.

Currently, Strahovski is filming “The Canyon” opposite Eion Bailey, a thriller directed by Richard Harrah. As her name suggests, she is of Polish descent and speaks fluent Polish. She currently resides in Los Angeles.

MVP for the Black Mamba

Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers is the winner of the Maurice Podoloff Trophy as the 2007-08 NBA Most Valuable Player presented by Kia Motors, the NBA announced today.
The 11-year NBA veteran totaled 1,105 points, including 82 first place votes, from a panel of 126 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. Players were awarded 10 points for each first-place vote, seven points for each second-place vote, five for third, three for fourth and one for each fifth-place vote.

As part of its support of the Most Valuable Player Award, Kia Motors will donate a brand-new 2009 Kia Borrego seven-passenger SUV on behalf of Bryant to the East L.A. Boys and Girls Club. Kia Motors presented a Borrego to the charity of choice of each of the four year-end 2007-08 award winners as part of the “The NBA Performance Awards Presented by Kia Motors.”

Rounding out the top five in voting for this season’s award were New Orleans’ Chris Paul (889 points), Boston’s Kevin Garnett (670 points), Cleveland’s LeBron James (438 points) and Orlando’s Dwight Howard (60 points).

Bryant finished the season ranked second in the league in scoring at 28.3 ppg, having shot .459 from the field, .840 from the free-throw line and .361 from three-point range. In addition, Bryant added 6.3 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.8 steals per game. The 6-6 guard led the Lakers to the best record in the Western Conference (57-25, .695), a 15-game improvement over last year (42-40, .512), and the franchise’s 19th Pacific Division title.

Bryant is the youngest player in NBA history to score 20,000 career points and the 16th player in league history to tally 21,000 points and 4,000 assists. This season, Bryant moved past 12 players on the all-time scoring list, including Hall of Famers George Gervin, Bob Pettit, Walt Bellamy and Hal Greer, to 24th all-time. Bryant was named NBA Western Conference Player of the Week three times (Jan. 14, March 3, April 7) and NBA Western Conference Player of the Month presented by Kia Motors twice this season (February, April).

The NBA MVP trophy is named in honor of the late Maurice Podoloff, the first commissioner of the NBA who served from 1946 until his retirement in 1963.

Top 10: NBA Playoff Moments

Well well well ...Im back again with my Top Ten. Since the NBA playoffs is just around the corner. (Uu just around dyan sa sulok). Eto ang top ten favorite NBA Playoff Moments simula ng nanood ako ng NBA (Nung mga panahon ni Mj.)


10.Tayshaun Denies Reggie & Pacers; Game 2, 2004 Eastern Conference Finals
Tayshaun Prince made one of the all-time great defensive plays, racing back to block what seemed like an inevitable game-tying layup by Reggie Miller, who had been all alone on the fast break, as the Pistons won 72-67.

9. Reggie's 25-Point Fourth Quarter vs. Knicks; Game 5, 1994, Eastern Conference Finals
With the series tied 2-2, the "Knick Killer" unleashed the game of a lifetime, scoring 39 points. It was in the fourth quarter that Miller truly was in the zone, hitting five three-pointers and tallying 25 points as the Pacers rallied to upset New York 93-86.

8. Mike Bibby's Clutch Performance
During the 2001-02 season, Bibby guided the Kings to the Western Conference Finals where they lost to the eventual NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers.Bibby's performance during the series, perhaps most memorably his Game 5 buzzer-beater,earned him a reputation as a clutch performer, and as a reward, he was granted a 7-year, $80.5 million contract.

7. Kobe Dunks on Nash
L.A. held a 74-67 advantage entering the final period and widened it to 92-83 with 3:11 remaining as Odom dove to grab a loose ball and zipped a pass to Bryant, who sprang for a flying dunk over Steve Nash.

6. Golden State upsets Dallas in the 1st Round
Maybe the greatest playoff upset in NBA history, the Golden State Warriors completely dismantled the No. 1 seed Dallas Mavericks on Thursday en route to a 111-86 Game 6 victory in front of a boisterous home crowd. Turning doubters into Believers.


5. Pacers Defeat Knicks; Game 1, 1995, Eastern Conference Semifinals
Reggie Miller capped a 31-point game by scoring eight points over an 8.9-second span, wiping out a six-point Knicks lead and giving the Pacers a series-opening 107-105 win before a stunned MSG audience.

4. Lakers Defeat Blazers; Game 7, 2000 Western Conference Finals
On the verge of losing three straight games for the first time all season and trailing by 15 points with 10:28 to play in the fourth quarter, the Lakers go a 29-9 run to close out the game and eliminate the Blazers 89-84, punctuated by a thunderous Shaquille O’Neal dunk off a lob from Kobe Bryant.

3.Kobe's 2 Buzzer Beaters againts the suns
Nash had a critical turnover in the final seconds of regulation and another gaffe in the waning moments of overtime before Bryant drained a jumper as time expired, giving the Los Angeles Lakers a thrilling 99-98 victory over the Phoenix Suns and a commanding 3-1 lead in their Western Conference first-round series.

2. Derek Fisher's Miracle Shot; Game 5, Western Conference, 2004 Semifinals
Playing a game of can you top this, LA’s Derek Fisher hits a fadeaway jumper from the left corner over Manu Ginobili at the buzzer – after having watched Tim Duncan hit a 20-foot fadeaway of his own with 0.4 seconds remaining – as the Lakers take command of the series and head back to Los Angeles up 3-2.


1. Robert Horry 3-Pointer Vs. Sacramento; Game 4, 2002 Western Conference Finals
During the course of a mad scramble under the hoop in the closing seconds, Vlade Divac tries to bat the ball as far away from the basket as possible with the Kings leading by two. The only problem is that he hits it right to a waiting Robert Horry at the three-point line, who calmly drains the game-winning three and sends the Lakers on to Sacramento with the series tied 2-2 instead of trailing 3-1.

Kobe Bryant Blog Day

The only question to ask is not why, but why now?

Kobe Bean Bryant already has millions of dollars, 22 50-point games, 12 seasons of service in the league, 10 All-Star appearances, three rings, two scoring titles, two best-selling jerseys and a signature sneaker from two different shoe companies. (I’ll have to turn that last sentence into a Kobe By the Numbers piece as the day wears on.) What can a legion of bloggers led by the Pied Pipers over at Hardwood Paroxysm write about Bryant that’d be worth writing at this point? What good are a couple more thousand words devoted to KB24 flooding the Internet all at the same time?

The 21st Century has replaced the clichéd opening of “If you look up (blank) in the dictionary it's defined as …” with “If you Google (blank) you get X amount of results…” While it’s certainly a cliché, it illustrates a point: If you Google “Kobe Bryant” you get 4,280,000 results in a mere 0.11 seconds. Four million. That's more results than there are people in the city of Los Angeles, where Kobe calls home. So again, with Bryant already having more Web fodder about him than just about anybody outside of Britney Spears, why is it now that we take a break from blogging about facial hair bets and YouTube videos and trade scenarios to add more to the dense pile of Kobe clutter that’s already out there?

Because today is about love.

Kobe doesn’t get much of it. Those of us who support him spend more time arguing against Kobe haters than just sitting back and enjoying him for the player he is.

I’m tired of that.

Yeah, I know Kobe is a polarizing figure. I get why he’s not everybody’s cup of tea. He complains about every call, he is a “volume” scorer, he would have naked fingers if it wasn’t for Shaq, he’s nothing compared to LeBron, he’s even less of a player compared to Michael, and on and on and on.

Well, today, for 24 hours at least, it stops.

Today we heap him with enough love to write the lyrics of a Beatles song or base the plot around for a Hugh Grant movie.

Today his arrogance can only be seen as confidence. Today he’s not obsessed with basketball, he’s dedicated to his craft. Today the impossible shots he makes are works of athletic art, not questionable decisions. Today he’s an expert motivator, not a critical teammate.

Today we celebrate the mini ‘fro, the alley-oop to Shaq against Portland, the through-the-legs Slam Dunk Contest clincher, the 81, the 50-point streak, the OT forcer and game winner in the same game against Phoenix, the All-Star game MVPs, the food poisoning in Sacto, the Oakleys on his head at his press conference announcing his decision to go from preps to pros, the prom with Brandy, the slam against the Wizards at UNLV, the posterizing of Dwight and Yao …

It’s all part of the story. It’s all part of the love.

The picture accompanying this post pretty much sums up how I think about Kobe: The Troubled Genius. The brash young talent feeling like the weight of the world is on his shoulders because he knows what he’s blessed with, and he doesn’t want to short change those blessings.

It’s a responsibility that many of his peers ignore. It’s hard to stay hungry enough to put in that extra set of 5 a.m. wind sprints when you have a personal chef that will cook you anything your heart desires when you’re actually hungry.

But as much as Kobe stays accountable for doing his talents service with that insane work ethic of his, his personal drive actually ends up helping out the whole NBA.

The saying goes that a team is only as good as its strongest link, well a league is only as good as the standard of competition set by its strongest link. By just being who he is, Kobe gives other players a glimpse of how good they can by if the adopt the same devotion to the game as Kobe.

With his commitment the playing the game as my motivation, I’ll try to match the same single-minded focus on today, March 11, 2008, a.k.a. Kobe Bryant Blog Day.

The goal is 24 posts in 24 hours to honor KB24. That doesn’t necessarily mean my fingers won’t stop typing for 1,440 minutes. Some hours you’ll get three posts, some you’ll get two, some you’ll get none. There’ll be video. There’ll be stats. There’ll be photos. There’ll be prose. I’ve even been known to write song lyrics from time to time.

This is post No. 1. An intro, certainly, but also an answer. Why take today to blog about Kobe when seemingly everything worth saying about him has been said before? Because we love him.

And why do we love him?

Well, today we get to be like the kids in the old Apple Jacks commercials:

We just do, OK?

Kobe Bryant Blog Day

The only question to ask is not why, but why now?

Kobe Bean Bryant already has millions of dollars, 22 50-point games, 12 seasons of service in the league, 10 All-Star appearances, three rings, two scoring titles, two best-selling jerseys and a signature sneaker from two different shoe companies. (I’ll have to turn that last sentence into a Kobe By the Numbers piece as the day wears on.) What can a legion of bloggers led by the Pied Pipers over at Hardwood Paroxysm write about Bryant that’d be worth writing at this point? What good are a couple more thousand words devoted to KB24 flooding the Internet all at the same time?

The 21st Century has replaced the clichéd opening of “If you look up (blank) in the dictionary it's defined as …” with “If you Google (blank) you get X amount of results…” While it’s certainly a cliché, it illustrates a point: If you Google “Kobe Bryant” you get 4,280,000 results in a mere 0.11 seconds. Four million. That's more results than there are people in the city of Los Angeles, where Kobe calls home. So again, with Bryant already having more Web fodder about him than just about anybody outside of Britney Spears, why is it now that we take a break from blogging about facial hair bets and YouTube videos and trade scenarios to add more to the dense pile of Kobe clutter that’s already out there?

Because today is about love.

Kobe doesn’t get much of it. Those of us who support him spend more time arguing against Kobe haters than just sitting back and enjoying him for the player he is.

I’m tired of that.

Yeah, I know Kobe is a polarizing figure. I get why he’s not everybody’s cup of tea. He complains about every call, he is a “volume” scorer, he would have naked fingers if it wasn’t for Shaq, he’s nothing compared to LeBron, he’s even less of a player compared to Michael, and on and on and on.

Well, today, for 24 hours at least, it stops.

Today we heap him with enough love to write the lyrics of a Beatles song or base the plot around for a Hugh Grant movie.

Today his arrogance can only be seen as confidence. Today he’s not obsessed with basketball, he’s dedicated to his craft. Today the impossible shots he makes are works of athletic art, not questionable decisions. Today he’s an expert motivator, not a critical teammate.

Today we celebrate the mini ‘fro, the alley-oop to Shaq against Portland, the through-the-legs Slam Dunk Contest clincher, the 81, the 50-point streak, the OT forcer and game winner in the same game against Phoenix, the All-Star game MVPs, the food poisoning in Sacto, the Oakleys on his head at his press conference announcing his decision to go from preps to pros, the prom with Brandy, the slam against the Wizards at UNLV, the posterizing of Dwight and Yao …

Godfather Quotes and Lines

"A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man."

"So the next day, my father went to see him; only this time with Luca Brasi. An' within an hour, he signed a release, for a certified check for $1000. [Kay: "How'd he do that?"] My father made him an offer he couldn't refuse. [Kay: "What was that?"] Luca Brasi held a gun to his head and my father assured him that either his brains, or his signature, would be on the contract. That's a true story. That's my family, Kay, it's not me."

"No Sicilian can refuse any request on his daughter's wedding day."

"Today I settled all Family business, so don't tell me you're innocent, Carlo."

"Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."

"Fredo, you're my older brother, and I love you. But don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again. Ever."

"I never wanted this for you. I work my whole life--I don't apologize--to take care of my family, and I refused to be a fool, dancing on the string held by all those bigshots. I don't apologize--that's my life--but I thought that, that when it was your time, that you would be the one to hold the string. Senator Corleone; Governor Corleone. [Michael: Another pezzonovante] Well, this wasn't enough time, Michael. It wasn't enough time. [Michael: We'll get there, pop. We'll get there.]"

"My father taught me many things ... keep your friends close, but your enemies closer."

"Fredo, you're nothing to me now; not a brother, not a friend. I don't want to know you, or what you do."

"If anything in this life is certain; If history has taught us anything, it's that you can kill anyone."

"I can handle things, I'm smart, not like everybody says. Not dumb, I'm smart, and I want respect!"

"Whatcha go to college to get stupid? You're really stupid!"

"We're all part of the same hypocrisy, Senator. But never think it applies to my family."

"I don't want anything to happen to him while my mother's alive."

"When Pop had troubles, did he ever think that maybe by trying to be strong, and trying to protect his family, that he could lose it instead?"

"[I will never work for you. I have bad memories.] I'll always be your son, but I will never have anything to do with your business."

"I betrayed my wife. I betrayed myself. I killed men and I ordered men to be killed. Ah, it's useless... I killed -- I ordered the death of my brother. He injured me. I killed my mother's son. I killed my father's son."

"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. [Our true enemy has not yet shown his face.]"

"I would burn in Hell to keep you safe."

"Times change. These days, we learn from the philanthropists like the Rockefellers. First you rob everybody, then you give to the poor."

"When they come, they'll come at what you love."

"All my life I kept trying to go up in society. Where everything higher up was legal. But the higher I go, the crookeder it becomes. Where the hell does it end?"

"You know Michael, now that you're so respectable, I think you're more dangerous than you ever were. In fact, I prefer you when you were just a common Mafia hood."

"Never hate your enemies -- it effects your judgement."

"Politics and crime -- they're the same thing."

"I swear on the lives of my children -- give me a chance to redeem myself, and I will sin no more."

"Nephew, from this moment forward, call yourself Vincent Corleone."

Sparks Fly

Every new year I try to take Fireworks pictures but I took horrible shots. But this are simple tips that you and I should do to take good firework snaps.

1. ISO - Use the lowest ISO possible (100 - 200)

2. Aperture - for ISO 100 ( f8 - f16 ), for ISO 200 (f11 - f22) choose the aperture by testing each setting...

3.Shutter speed - There are no specific speed to use... after you have select any aperture setting, test the shutter speed starting from 5 seconds to 10 seconds. Adjust it accordingly. Use BULB setting if needed...

4.Put your camera on continuous shooting mode...

5.Put your camera on manual focus and focus to any subject near the fireworks..

6.Use remote release to trigger the shutter to reduce camera shake...

7.Keep taking pictures until the fireworks end

8.Last but not least... Enjoy!!!...

Do or Die

Sa Saturday makakalaban namin ang READS sa inter-color na my record na 3 panalo at 1 talo..ang record namin ay 2-2. Kung kami ay mananalo kami parehas ay magiging 3-2 at mgkakaroon ng knock-out game laban sa amin at sa READS..bali twice to beat sila, parang ganun na nga. Ung dalawang panalo namin ay sa ECE at JPCS, tpos natalo kami sa HRM at GANJA na parehas naming pedeng manalo. Sana ay 4-0 na kmi, pero ganyan talaga bilog ang bola.

Goodluck nalang sa amin sa Sabado 9:00 am sa Baste. !

Throwback

They have a lot of tradition between them, and they brought back one blast from the past on Sunday that some might argue could have remained in the time capsule.Playing against the Boston Celtics, the Los Angeles Lakers wore throwback jerseys featuring vintage 1970s short shorts. Smiles could be seen from many courtside fans as Kobe Bryant and the Lakers took the court. Laughing former Laker Rick Fox snapped a couple of pictures.

Forward Trevor Ariza even wore knee pads a la Magic Johnson.But the Lakers did find their fashion sense at halftime, coming out of the break in regular baggy shorts.The Lakers couldn't help coach Phil Jackson make some history. The 110-91 loss kept him in a tie with Red Auerbach for seventh place on the career wins list.Jackson and the Lakers were going for their season-high fifth straight victory, but the Celtics upped their win streak to six games.Jackson earned his 938th win as a head coach on Friday night, when the Lakers (19-11) beat Utah 123-109. He matched the career total of Auerbach, who recorded his last 795 wins with the Celtics.
