Mr. Joe,

Ang sweet niyo naman pala ni Pareng Cubao mo? Pareho kayong mapagmahal!

Tanduay's ESQ = Extra Smooth Quality, tama ba? Wala naman yata akong ganong qualities, Mr. Joe. Pero may kilala ako dito sa A.Net na akmang-akma sa kanila ang ganyang description -- sina Gaslighting_Abbie at Sometimes Salvation. Wari ko lang tatalunin kayo ng Pareng Cubao mo nung dalawang yon kung pagiging mapagmahal din lang ang pag-uusapan. Atin-atin lang 'to, pero yung dalawang yon ang eksperto sa pamamangka sa dalawang ilog.

Anyway, ang "Esq" na nakabuntot sa pangalan ko e nagpapahiwatig lamang ng propesyon na aking kinabibilingan. Ang buong salita ay "Esquire" at ito ay karaniwang ginagamit sa Amerika at England (sa halip na "Attorney" na siya namang mas pangkaraniwan dito sa atin).

Hanngang sa muli, Mr. Joe. Sana magkaroon di ng pagkakataon na magkakilala tayo ng personal.


Simplicio

I watched The Longest Yard last night and got annoyed at the bum calls.

However, I thoroughly enjoyed the way the Mean Machine, eherm, neutralized the erring official. Sayang walang matulis na dulo ang basketball.

A very provocative photo is in the "frontpage" of www.ubelt.com

What do you make of that?



here's the link to the same pic:

you know, some people swing that way

Ang masasabi ko lang ay parang masarap regaluhan si Cholo Villanueva ng blusang itim.

ongae, tska mas mahirap gumawa ng palusot sa basketball hahaha

kevin nash was hilarious! )

can i just say... it's a joy watching Vainio and Gavino play against their former team.

uhm ansama ko ata. pero hindi ba mukhang demonyo si mark benitez (tama ba? yung guy from la salle)? nyahaha. uhm, di na kailangan ng tinidor, buntot, at sungay. tsaka yung mata niya, katakot.

Manyy Dandan patoma ka naman!

And suddenly, this post is now seen in a different light.

Mark Benitez - Demonyo? o Dinemonyo?

A MUSICAL INTERLUDE to the tune of "The Chipmunk Christmas Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)" by The Chipmunks

Ladies and gentlemen, the UAAP Boys' Choir, conducted by Commissioner Joe Lipa ...

COMMISH LIPA: Holrayt, boys! Are you ready to sing your song?
CHOIR: I'll say we are! Yeah! Let's sing it now!
COMMISH LIPA: Ready, basses?
BASSES: Ready!
COMMISH LIPA: Ready, tenors?
LA TENORIO: Uy, bagong nickname!
MARVIN CRUZ: Hindi lang ikaw yun!
TENORS: Ready!
COMMISH LIPA: Teka, asaan si Bono? Bono? Pongalangala - BONO!!!
KEN BONO: (hurriedly gulps down the last of his pre-merienda snack and joins the others) Ready!

Satisfied that everyone is in place, the Commish signals to the pianist, who begins to play. The boys begin to sing.

Christmas, Christmas time is near
Time for a diff'rent kind of cheer

JOSEPH YEO: I've been good (the boys around him choke), but I can't last (the boys around him start to cough and gag)
COMMISH LIPA: (sternly) Boys!
YEO: Hurry Christmas, hurry fast - BECAUSE I SAID SO, ^%##$@#@$#!

RABEH AL-HUSSAINI: Our Doug needs a pooper scoop (grins at the playful glare from Doug Kramer )
BONO: I look like Augustus Gloop!

We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late.

COMMISH LIPA: Holrayt, boys, ready na kayo. That was very good, tenors.
TENORIO: Naturally!
COMMISH LIPA: Very good, basses.
BASSES: Of course!
COMMISH LIPA: But, Bono, you were a little fat - este, flat, kaya alalay lang. (No answer) Bono? Hoy, Bono! BONO!
BONO: (with his mouth full) OKAY!

LEO CANUDAY: Gusto ko po ng isang hula hoop (appreciative squeal from Chuckie's Bride)
BONO: I still look like Augustus Gloop!

We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late.
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be laaaaate!

COMMISH LIPA: That was very good, boys.
CHOIR: Ulitin natin! Yeah, lets sing it again!
COMMISH LIPA: Tama na yan, lets not overdo it
TENORS: What do you mean overdo it?
BASSES: We want to sing it again!
COMMISH LIPA: Now wait a minute, boys-
CHOIR: Why can't we sing it again? (gulo ensues)
COMMISH LIPA: Just a minute. Stop that. PONGALANGALA!!!

DON' TALK TO ME!

YOU DO NOT DESARB TO KOL ME KOTS!

IP YOU DON' WANNA DO WAT DA KOTS SES, DON' PLAY POR ATENEO!

Kaka-miss na talaga si John Flores...

Ay, kay Coach Joe Lipa nga palang mga kataga na 'yan...

A MUSICAL INTERLUDE to the tune of "Do You Hear What I Hear?" (traditional Christmas carol) and "Blue Eagle the King" (music and lyrics by Raul S. Manglapus)

The idiot ref was told by the gung-ho fan,
"Didn't you see what I see?
He only tapped the ball and not the hand!
Didn't you see what I see?
You mole, you bat, you officiating fright
You've horns and a tail big as a kite!" (2x)

Said the gung-ho fan to the meek fanboy,
"Won't you cheer like I cheer?
Shout out loud to the sky, meek fanboy
Won't you cheer like I cheer?
Fly high, fly high - over the trees
Make known to the breeze our victories...
Oops, wrong song!

Said the meek fanboy to the mean green thing,
"Do you know what I know? (It's a rhetorical question.)
Cease your bluster and your ranting --
Do you know what I know?
An ill-begotten trophy, the thought just leaves me cold.
An education, that's the real gold." (2x)

Said the thing to the people everywhere...

..."WE ARE THE CHAMPIONSHIPS!"

To Referee Jun Arlegui and the rest of the FMC officiating crew: LOVE AND BLESSINGS in this most glorious of seasons. Don't worry about the fans and hecklers in blue (yes, I AM ONE OF THEM), we're more bark than bite. We look forward to a resounding continuation of the FMC Open and improved whistling from all of you. I know its tough getting ALL the calls right, but there are times when I wish we had slo-mo rules so you could have the benefit of technology. Yes, its rather tough and no one likes the referee, but hey, just get the job done. Its the best gift you can give all true hardcore hoops fans.

Now that was something that I don't usually see on an NFL game. I don't know how do they call that play, but in the recently concluded Super Bowl XL, the Pittsburgh Steelers' perfectly executed a passing play with thier QB handing off the football to a player who then hands off the same ball to Wide Reciever Randle El who then executes a perfect pass to a striding Hines Ward for the Touchdown. Just magnificent to watch.
