Why not scrap this whole Gilas joke?

After all it's just one big vehicle being squeezed dry by the Mr. Faggot for maximum media mileage for his companies.

It's all just commerce for the baklita.

This is a learning experience daw, sabi ni Panlilio. Eh ang tagal na sa basketball nitong sina Choo choo Reyes, Wheechico, et al and those players, hanggang ngayon nasa learning experience stage pa din sila. Either all of them are slow learners or really have violence and stupidity genes ingrained in their DNAs.

Now who wil foot the bill na pambayad sa FIBA? That's almost P14million - kasama yung fine ng numbskull na Chot Reyes na ito. Eh wala namang pera itong chotchot na ito so your guess is as good as mine that it will be the Baklita who will put up the money. Now where will the "Great Tycoon", this "Business Mogul" get this money?

Does the SBP have that money. If yes and they will just pay it as fine for that stupid event, sayang yung pera na magagamit sana sa future training expenses ng future teams. Will they get it from the Philippine government through the POC? I don't know. Will badingzkie milk his companies for that amount? Eh nalulugi na ang PLDT, his mining concerns, his TV channel, his Maynilad etc. So talagang sakit ng ulo ito.

Ok so since their next game is closed-door, sinong venue naman ang tanga na mag-hold nito eh walang ticket sales?

Now these matters eh hindi naisip ng mga hooligangs na coach and players. They were stupid enough not to recognize that they were being provoked by the Aussies. They should jettison this Gilas program and start from scratch with new benefactors and level-headed staff and more mature players.

Wishful thinking ...

kung pwede lang sana tie.

France for sentimental reasons.

Croatia - to reward them for their guts, and to have a new champion. Nakakasawa na ang Germany, Brazil, France, italy.

Now I didn't know that there is such a grape. Luscious red!

Bods, Masi - I was in Manila last November and brought a couple of bottles. Spent time with Storm but didn’t get a chance to open the wine, so get hold of him and go drink!

same here.

right now I'm gravitating towards South Americans - malbecs and carmeneres from Chile.

I think I've had it with Australian reds. Could they be heavily-laced with sulphites? Whenever I drink an Aussie, a terrible headache and dark moods envelop me. Heavily-processed? I really don't know.

So I'm now dallying with Bordeaux and those heavies from south of the border.

But the best red I've had of late is Six Hats, from South Africa, bought from M&S. Just enough buzz, no headache, no lunar swings. Just perfect.

Aside from the usual Chardonnay, I'm partial to Grenache Blanc's and Gewürztraminer. I think I can source Assyrtiko since my officemate is going home to Greece next month. We'll see how it goes.

assyrtiko....wow!

go! go! go!

FR if you snag a bottle.

I've just come across several quaint white wine grapes in my readings. We're all familiar of course with sauvignon blancs, semillons, chards, even verdelho and gruner veltliner, which has been mentioned here a long time ago. But there are others, more localized and not too well-known.

Malvasia fine and rabigato - from the Douro valley in Portugal and used for white port.

Bacchus - grown in the south of England but which originally came from Germany. Smells of nettles, hawthorne, and cow parsley, whatever they are lol! Tastes of crab apples and quince, again whatever they are. It is reportedly bony and nervy with acidity.

Aligote - Burgundy. Clean, sharp, invisible-tasting.

Vermentino - from Liguria in Italy. Also known as rolle in the south of France. Described as lively, herbaceous, and slightly bitter. Perfect with spaghetti and pesto.

Assyrtiko - from Santorini. Heavily minerallic, clean and sharp as an axe-blade.

Here's hoping that we get to have a bottle of each - where, when, how. lol!

cheers!
