| Coming Soon to a Theater Near You... |
| 2008-07-15 08:58:00 |
Hollywood has lots in store for movie-addicts. I've been spending a lot of time on the Net lately, and I've read about and seen a lot of new movies that will certainly be awesome to watch in the moviehouse. I may not be an expert critic, but I bet a lot of people will agree with me when I say that watching these following movies is a must.1. Hellboy: The Golden ArmyThe first one was surprisingly good, and based on the trailer that I saw, the second one is even better. The lighting was greatly im...

| Clark and Chloe Video |
| 2008-07-03 14:04:00 |
I have a new addiction, and it's called Smallville! I wasn't too thrilled about the show before, but i recently bought (out of boredom) DVDs of Seasons 1-6. As soon as I started watching the pilot episode, I knew I was hooked. I have to admit, the storyline kinda gets redundant as the season progresses, but it's all good. It gets a bit cheesy at times, but I'm all for it. Besides, it's better than watchin' lame-ass shows on TV.Even before I began watchin' Smallville, I've already seen the Collid...

| Must-See Movies |
| 2008-06-24 22:39:00 |
I love watching movies on the big screen. Just recently, I saw two trailers, and they blew me away. During the first quarter of the year, I thought the movies this year won't be as good as the ones released in 2007. I couldn't have been more wrong. It turns out, movies are gettin' better and better.One of the trailers is of the Wanted movie. It stars Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman and a guy that I don't know, who happens to be the main protagonist named Wes. I pretty much got the gist from the t...

| Streetball: Second Strike |
| 2008-06-24 22:12:00 |
Our second game in the streetball tournament was held last night. We played against the Yellow team. We started out on a 14-2 run, but that lead was short-lived because the Yellow team had a new player on their roster who can score at will. He was a couple of inches taller than me, and really athletic. However, we were still able to hold them at bay. We led by as much as 11 in the 3rd, but we didn't let ourselves get too comfortable with the lead. I was on and off the floor because I got into ea...

| "The Ultimate Fighter" finale and results |
| 2008-06-22 11:16:00 |
In the main event, Kendall Grove defeated Evan Tanner via a split-decision. It was a bit surprising that it wasn't a unanimous decision. Grove, who was favored to win the match, dominated Tanner. He landed more hits and had control from the beginning until the end of the fight.Moreover, Amir Sadollah was crowned The Ulimate Fighter 7 king after putting a stop to C. B. Dollaway at 3:02 of the first round of their match during the finale of the said mixed martial arts reality TV show. Sadollah too...

If you are not into sports, one of the perfect ways to let off some steam is to go to a casino.

You can access hundreds of online casinos with just a few clicks of your mouse. You can play any of the games that can be found in any land-based gaming outfit.

| Streetball: First Strike |
| 2008-06-20 05:08:00 |
NBA season is over, so you won't probably see any NBA sports updates until November of this year (which is when the new season will begin), but I might write something about the draft some time soon. I'm kinda excited because NFL season is about to open in a few months, so you'll see me writing a lot about football.In the meantime, I'm busying myself with our own "quasi" streetball tournament that we hold on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. It all started out like this: Me and a couple of friend...

| Boston Celtics: 2008 NBA Finals Champions |
| 2008-06-18 00:04:00 |
In what can only be called a lopsided victory, the Boston Celtics finally received the much-coveted Larry O’Brien trophy, the 17th in franchise history. They dominated the Los Angeles Lakers in every facet of the game, and sent the latter packing unable to keep their chins up. And how could they? This is, as far as I can remember, the lousiest performance in an NBA Finals game ever. You can quote me on that! Laker fans would find it hard not to agree after what they’ve seen. Or maybe, just m...

| Mixed Martial Arts: Be Armed to the Teeth |
| 2008-06-17 17:39:00 |
Part of the thrill of participating in full-contact combat sports like mixed martial arts (MMA) is in the knowledge that you are fully-equipped to take on any challenge. It’s very similar to off-road driving. If your SUV or truck isn’t fitted with skid plates and roll bars, you’d pretty much be cautious while tackling backcountry trails. But when you have the sort of MMA Gear you can get at leading online stores, you won’t have any difficulty whatsoever.Let’s take a look at a professio...

| Lakers - Celtics Game 3 Results |
| 2008-06-11 03:41:00 |
Finally, the Los Angeles Lakers win one. They come to within one (2-1), and avoided being on the brink of elimination come Thursday. They took the lead early in the first, but the Boston Celtics managed to tie the game before the start of the second quarter. Kobe looked like a man on a mission. He was determined to get to the line on every drive. During the 2nd quarter, he was again called for a technical foul for contesting a no-call. His efforts were not in vain because after that the referees...

Celtics take Game 2The Lakers did not play as well as I hoped they would; in fact they did not play half as well as I hoped they would. They trailed from the start, and when they got to within 9 points in the 3rd, they let it go up to 15 in less than a minute. The Celtics led by as much as 24 with 7 minutes left in the 4th. The Lakers again had another chance to take the lead, but the poor coaching and the poor decision-making of the players led to a foiled late-quarter comeback (which would've ...

| Fall Out Boy: Beat It Video and Free mp3 Download |
| 2008-06-07 00:48:00 |
A friend of mine sent me an mp3 of Fall Out Boy's cover of Michael Jackson's hit song "Beat It". I always liked Fall Out Boy, mainly because of their single "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs", but while I was downloading the file my friend sent me, I was kinda skeptical. I thought Patrick Stump's vocals would not do justice to the '80s hit. Moreover, I couldn't imagine what "Beat It" would sound like as a rock song. So i waited. It took only about 15 seconds, and I immediately listened to it afterwards. Needles...

| Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Movie Mistakes |
| 2008-05-28 21:09:00 |
I watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull with a couple of friends last night. It wasn't as good as The Last Crusade, but it was definitely better than the Temple of Doom. The ending was a bit disappointing, though. Steven Spielberg is becoming too predictable. The chemistry between Ford and LaBeouf is good. The action sequences were great, although I hated the part when LaBeouf swung from tree to tree. It was a so-so movie, but it was better than some of the movies I've se...

| San Antonio Spurs Beat the New Orleans Hornets |
| 2008-05-19 22:56:00 |
The Spurs shot better from downtown and from the line. Manu Ginobili even shot better from three-point territory than all the Hornets combined. They also grabbed more rebounds (offensive and defensive), and they dished out more assists than the overrated Hornets. It is no surprise that they won. They managed to limit David West to 20 points, which is what they needed to win at Orleans">New Orleans Arena. And Peja Stojakovic, who is one of the most experienced players in the team, played horribly. The Spu...

Yep! You read the title right. According to reports, Commissioner David Stern will be flying off to Los Angeles next week to present the NBA MVP award to Bryant (but then again, this may be a hoax). The phenomenal shooting guard is said to have edged out Chris Paul and LeBron James.You can read the entire article here....

I showed a friend of mine Kenny Smith's version of Kobe's Aston Martin jump. He sent me a link leading to a video of Kobe's first attempt of the jump. It may look the same at the beginning, but the results are clearly different as you can see at the end.Source: College Humor...

Kenny Smith of the "TNT Inside the NBA" show demonstrates that he has what it takes to replicate Kobe's unbelievable feat - the Aston Martin jump. He can be seen in the video putting on a pair of Nike Hyperdunks. Then just as he was preparing to jump, the car *spoiler*!!! You have to watch the video to see what happens. It is amazing.... NOT! But the video is funny as hell...Source: broadbandsportsYou can download it here for your own personal amusement. It would've been funnier if Charles did i...

| G. I. Joe Movie (2009) |
| 2008-04-12 04:08:00 |
A G. I. Joe movie is long overdue, and finally after years of waiting (seriously, I've been waiting for this ever since I was a kid) producers have realized this and so in 2009, a G.I. Joe movie will be released. I looked it up, and it is in production so there is no official trailer yet (major bummer!). But I found a list in IMDb of the actors/actresses who'll be in the movie. Here is a list: (Note, however, that this info is still subject to change)Channing Tatum ... DukeDwayne Johnson ...

| Allen Iverson Talks About Chris Paul |
| 2008-04-12 02:47:00 |
"I like his overall game, everything about it," Iverson said. "His team has the best record, so I'd give (the MVP) to him. He can handle the ball. He can shoot it. He can finish. He has the ball in his hands pretty much 99 percent of the time, every possession. He's starting the offense, so it's tough to deal with."A friend of mine, who is a big fan of Chris Paul, sent me a link. It was an excerpt from an interview of Allen Iverson. It may seem like AI is all praises about Chris Paul, but if you...

| Kansas beat Memphis |
| 2008-04-07 23:04:00 |
Kansas wins over Memphis with a score of 75-68 in OT. Darrell Arthur was the man of the hour for the Jayhawks. The Tigers did good in containing Brandon Rush, but Arthur proved to be too much to handle. The offense of Chalmers was also laudable. He hit a couple of threes when it was needed the most, including the game-tying three pointer in the last 10 seconds of regulation. The Tigers had a chance to blow the game wide open in the last 7 minutes of play, but because of the tenacity of the Kansa...

| CWC Trip '08 |

One of my friends, Olops, planned a trip to CWC (Camsure Watersports Complex), and most of us weren't sure if we're gonna go, mainly because we had no money (it's Magayon Festival in Bicol. Go Figure!) That was about a week before the scheduled trip. Come Sunday, the only person who was sure that he'd go was Olops. We were playing basketball then. After playin', we went to Charlie's house to have some iced tea. That's when our supervisor sent us a message tellin' us to go to Albay Park because ...

| Sony PSP: Alternative to PDF Reader |
| 2008-04-01 02:51:00 |
The Sony PSP is a versatile gaming console. It can play games, audio and video files. You can also store images and other supported files. Homebrew apps are also available if you'd like to take your PSP to the next level. Me, on the other hand, like the PSP because I can store scanned copies of books and magazines. EBooks usually come in .txt format, but those that are in .pdf are also available. However, sometimes the .pdf version is full of images and .pdf viewers like BookR can't load 'em. If...

| Pregnant Man? Pfft! |
| 2008-03-27 02:39:00 |
Trans-gender male (that's still a woman to me!) got pregnant. No surprises there! Thomas Beatie still has a uterus doesn't she? It's all over the news. I don't know what the fuss is all about. It's not as if she was the first trans-gender man to ever get pregnant. And there hasn't even been proof that she really is. Witnesses said that a month ago they saw her and she wasn't that "big". In her defense she said she stopped taking male hormones and that accounts for the big belly. But, then again,...

We still went anyway.We departed at around 8 am for Bacon, Sorsogon. We were hoping that we'll reach the city before noon, which we did after about a pack of cigarettes. And there wer...

I knew 'twas gonna be something like this because I've read a description, but now that I've seen it, it's far from what I expected. I didn't think it'd be THAT worse! LeBron James is so unfit to be in Vogue that he makes Gisele Bundchen look bad. It brings to mind images of King Kong clutching his prized catch. Bad move for Vogue. But, I think it won't be that bad for the magazine. The ...

I was hammered the night before the Pacquiao-Marquez bout, so I had a terrible hangover during the morning of the fight. I was planning on staying in bed, but the shouting downstairs kept me from nodding off to la-la land. It's a good thing I watched 'coz I would've missed one of the most exciting fights ever. It was neck in neck until the end of the match. Personally, I thought twas gonna be dead-even. But, surprisingly, Manny Pacquiao came out as the winner due to a controversial split-decisio...

LeBron James is gonna be on the front cover of the April issue of Vogue magazine, and he won't be alone. Alpha female, Gisele Bundchen will be on the cover as well. Now, Gisele I understand, but Lebron James? I mean, Lebron is one heck of a player...but a fashion model? No way. He can be on as many Sports Illustrated magazine covers that he likes, but I think he's just not the right guy. He dresses up nice alright, but every time I see him in clothes other than his Cavs uniform all I can think a...
