  1. Review: San Andreas (The movie with the Rock as the lead star not the other "San Andreas Quake" movie)

     

    RATING: 7/10

     

    We have seen The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) save the Fast and Furious and GI Joe Franchise and we have seen him star on his own [Rundown, Hercules (flop), Scorpion King, etc.]. Yet in this movie, we still see a diff. The Rock. No punching, no backbreaking, no big guns, no car chase scenes and no bad-ass dialogues.

     

    He plays a member/official of a rescue team and the story revolves on how he was able to save her family and his marriage during the San Francisco intensity 9.6 Earthquake

     

    HIGHS:

    > If you have relatives in the US mostly in SF, tell them to watch - it has a possibility to happen in real life

    > Destruction effects are creepy and realistic

    > The family sub plot makes an interesting side story

    > And of course, it stars Alex Daddario which appears in a bikini 1st (if you dont know her, watch true detective season 1 or just google her scene there - your welcome ;))

     

    LOWS:

    > Personally, after watching a LOT of disaster movies from the Past like 2012, Armageddon, Deep Impact, etc., I somewhat lost interest or amazement on the destruction scenes (in other words - kakaumay or ive seen this before even sa superhero movies)

    > The earthquake just happens and then nothing is next, that is basically how it ended.

    > No other scene or twist to hold on or to anticipate, just the rescue itself

    > Poor ending

     

    CONCLUSION:

    San Andreas is not a bad disaster movie, its main purpose is to show what will possibly happen to SF when the San Andreas Fault collapses, we can learn a thing or two for we have our own valley fault. I still recommend it to everyone specially to the kids and young adults so that they can learn and be serious about earthquake drills in schools/offices.

  2. Thanks for all comments and advise. I really appreciate it. To JT Blackknight, I guess you hit the nail on the head!

     

    Here's what happened:

     

    We went out today at nagsimba since nung Wednesday pa siya nagyaya to go to church. After church, ayaw niyang mag mall kasi lagi na daw kami nagmall at gusto niya magmerienda then uwi na daw coz di daw siya nagpaalam at gusto niya magusap kami. I sensed something's wrong kaya kinulit ko siya konti until nag open up siya regarding what her colleagues said about, bakit di namin napaguusapan kung mga personal matters among ourselves like naka ilan gf na ako at naka ilan bf na siya. It turns out wala pa siya naging bf. She also opened up to me na hindi pa siya ready sa commmitment and is actually afraid of it pa which made thought initially that she's turning me down na. Yun pala she's worried na baka kasal na agad gusto ko so I reassured her that we will still go along the process of nurturing the relationship, if ever, until she's ready or both of us are ready to tie the knot. Naginhawaan siya sa sinabi ko. After that, nagbanggit ako kung ok lang ba ituloy ko panliligaw ko and she blurted out "nanliligaw ka ba?" so I said yes. Then I asked kung pwede ba namin icontinue what we have started and also kung pwede ko siyang ligawan and she said yes. I then muster the guts and ask kung may pagasa ako, she said yes..meron. I didn't ask her about age issues anymore since sinagot na niya na may pag asa ako.

     

    She gave me a birthday gift pa nga e - a belated one. What made the gift special was the effort behind it because it consisted of different items like humor cards, 3 kinds of sweet candies, a tshirt with a cute message and a pringle. Aside from those, she put post-it on each item with a sweet message handwritten by her. I really appreciated the gift very much.

     

    Sana magtuloy tuloy na ito. smile.gif

     

    Good luck sau brad.. Now that you've seen a light at the end of the tunnel, dont rush everything. If you really love her, wait, since ikaw nga ang magiging 1st BF niya and she's young, she wants to enjoy and experience GF/BF relationship not Marriage agad tulad ng sinabi niya. Tip lang, you have to lengthen more your patience dahil mas mahirap amuin or i please ang mga younger lovers, demanding sa attention at sumpungin dahil nga yung maturity level niyo hindi pareho.

     

    and one more thing, ngayong nakukuha mo na ang trust niya, make sure na wala ka na talagang tinatago like illegitimate child, ex-wife, etc. Dahil pag nalaman niya to ng hindi mo sinasabi - Boom, bubble pop ka na. Back to reality ika nga.

  3. Chua is the main reason why Eala was fired in any SMC sports affairs. But one of Eala's greatest contribution sa SMC team is ang pag alaga at pagkuha kay Junmar from amateur days until he came to the PBA. Its Eala's decision and plan na ipa ABL muna si Junmar instead of D-League and wait for the time na SMB ang maging 1st pick saka pinasali sa draft. Yung ganung style ng pag-aalaga ng future draft prospects ang kinokopya na ngayon ng MVP teams. Plus the Tim Cone and Joe Devance saga from Alaska to PF, its eala's idea too..

     

    Im not saying na ibalik si eala, dahil marami rin atraso to sa team natin. Im just thinking, what if he stayed and worked well with Al Chua and now CFL, mabibiyayaan din kaya tayo tulad ng nangyari sa SMB at PF???

  4. Kay Snow Badua at kay DBuzz, hindi ako masyadong naniniwala eh. Pero having met and talked to Ms. Sheryl personally, sa tweet nya ako mas kinakabahan.

     

    and speaking of snow...

    Ayaw ng may ari sa may Soy Sauce

    Netizens call LA - Tinoyo right?

    Wow.. LA is really on his way out... may kinalaman kaya dito ung tantrum niya nung final minutes dun sa game vs alaska?

  5. I suggest that we keep watch about trades tomorrow. Something, based on some tweets I was following, about a BLOCKBUSTER Ginebra trade may occur tomorrow. That, or madadamay ako sa kuryente ni Ms. Sheryl Reyes.

     

    i've read it too - it smells like LA- Pringle Trade... Oh my...

     

    Ano kaya mas ok kainin pringles with san mig beer kaya o mag shot ako ng gin haaay stress moments ..

    fresh..first.... A TOP POINTGUARD FROM BARAKO BULL IS TRADED TO GLOBAL PORT FOR FIRST ROUND PICK. can happen any time tomorrow.

    This top poinrguard From ginebra to barako bull http://to.global port by tomorrow?

    It means daw na: LA to Barako to Global???

  6. Say you will be all around me
    When your body sets your heart free
    Say you will be all around me
    Say you'll get me before the ending
    Take my body set my heart free
    Say you'll get me before the ending

    Go put on your best tonight
    It's you and me and one spotlight
    One more show one last time
    It won't be long now.....

  7. Yup ...may 2nd round pick pa tayo...

     

    Pero i dont think manny would want a second round pick pa....

     

    Also...nakasalalay talaga sa third pick....kung nde mapili si lanete...kukunin na yan ni FL malamang...si rosario malabo na...unless mapasaten yun pick ng kia....

     

    Kaso mukhang alang balita sa kampo ng ginebra na gusto nilang makuha yun number two pick....sana maisip ni FL na kelangan nya magupgrade...yun ibang teams naguupgrade na para may pantapat sa 3 bigman na sina kraken, japhet tsaka slaughter eh....dapat tayo naman naghahanap ng pantapat kina lee, yap,castro,lassiter kahit manlang kay hontiveros....

     

    I think before we get new batch of guards, we need to unload JJ or Josh or Jens or Mac first.

     

    ang sigurado dito, tautua and troy ang first 2 picks...lanete could go as high as 3rd or 4th. kung si lanete nga talaga ang kailangan ng ginebra, let's just hope he will not be taken at no. 3, otherwise, pwede naman option din si thompson or khobuntin, the latter will address the forward spot. ang importante lang dito ay gamitin ang makukuhang rookie...di gaya ng ginawa ni ato na pinaglaro niya ng chess si forrester na 4th overall pick. garcia o kaya romeo sana ang nakuha ng ginebra sa pick na yun.

     

    Unless mag pa draft si Ray Parks dahil matatapos ang summer league stint niya sa Mavs this July at ang draft ay August pa. If he does, he will be no. 1 for sure, imposibleng pakawalan ng Tnt yun. No. 2 would be Kia's pick na si Troy tingin ko - ito maganda, sa Kia na lang mapunta si Troy para pwede natin offeran ng trade bait kesa MVP team ang makakuha, and No. 3 will be Mo for Meralco because of the MVP connection. Then Lanete will be up for grabs at GSM for No. 4 (sana)

     

    Si Forrester mukhang draft bust talaga ... kahit na na trade na sa Barako Bull hindi pa rin makapasok sa rotation. How much more sa guard heavy line-up na team tulad ng GSM.

     

    Whoever made the decision to draft him wasted that pick. It could have been Terrence Romeo.

     

    Sisihin si Robert Non at Al Chua. May insurance na sanang pamalit ke MC47. But good for his (Romeo's) career na napunta sya sa Global, siya na ngayon ang superstar ng team in his 2nd year.

  8. Musta naman ang PARK???

     

    Review on Jurassic World

     

    Rating: 8.5/10

     

    A. Highs

    > New dinosaur villain Indominous Rex is a must see

    > Better visual effects than its predecessors resulting to dinosaurs look and feel more "real"

    > Even the park looks realistic that you may think it can exist in this world

    > Very good cast ensemble, SPOILER: 2 Marvel Universe Artist are part of the cast

    > Non-stop action and nail-biting suspense

     

    B. Lows

    > The story is very simple and predictable (maybe so that young viewers can easily relate and understand)

    > Flying dinosaurs are not as good as the previous movies (my bad for comparing)

    > Very recognizable plot holes (Specially on why Chris Pratt needs to train the raptors in the first place if he don't believe they can be used as weapons?)

    > I wish they had injected some humor considering they also target young audiences (kids) and not just terrify them whenever the I-Rex is shown on the screen

     

    C. Highlights

    > The T-Rex and Indominous Rex fight was the Biggest Scene (use 2 words - "WOW! ASTIG!")

    > Unexpected ending of the above fight

    > The Spielberg nod is good to see

    > Raptors, raptors and raptors

     

     

    All in all, of the 3 sequels, this movie is the most loyal and sincere in portraying the vision and idea of Spielberg when he created these Dinosaurs.

    An eye candy and visual spectacle all age bracket will relate, enjoy and probably learn more about these creatures.

     

    Best thing about this movie is: ANOTHER SEQUEL IS ABOUT TO COME

  9. Tama!!!! Kaso dahil lagi natin sila pinaguusapan...malamang ala tayong makukuha sa kanilang dalawa hehehe...lalo na kung pang 4th nlang pick natin....

     

    I wonder kung papayag yun isang manny..sa package deal na barracael+urbiztondo+ draft pick...para sa pick nila....not bad na yun considering 2 players panupgrade ng rotation nila plus another draft pick pa....

     

    Pwede yan, kung may 2nd round pick tayo yun ang ibibigay para makuha si Troy. Tapos kunin si Lanete sa original pick No. 4.. Wag na wag sya papauto sa MVP camp.. Hehe..

     

    Do we have a 2nd round pick?

  10. I really dont know why until now a lot of people wants LA out of the team.

     

    If JJ retires and we all know MC47 will soon follow, who do you think should be the leader of the team? Mercado? I dont think so. Considering his reputation as a self centered guy and lack of leadership. Plus, in all his games in GSM this conference, i rarely saw him make plays for the big men which is GSM's main guys.

    Monfort?

    Urbiztondo?

     

    And if you draft Lanete, who do you think is the best guy to mentor and be a role model to the rookie? its LA, wala ng iba. Ginebra's Gilas PG, former Jones cup MVP and the guy na nagdala sa BGSM sa huling Finals appearance WITHOUT GREG, JAPHET and MC47.

     

    Im not an LA worshipper, just a pure GSM die hard fan who thinks and believes what is good for the team in the long run should be kept.

     

    The guys that are not helping now and i think for the long run are:

    > Pena (too old, too slow)

    > Knuttel (i-Knuttel)

    > Baracael (kakaumay)

    > Urbiztondo (lagi na lang injury, ni hindi maka kumpleto ng isang buong conference)

    > JJ (retire pls)

     

    Marcelo, Brondial and Ellis are still guys na pde pang i tweak at patigasin para maging 2 way players.

     

    So for our draft, it should come down to 3 na kailangan natin talaga;

    - Rosario (For the weak SF spot - gawing ala Joe Devance para laging may mismatch, imagine - Greg ©, Japhet (PF) at Troy (SF) sa AFC

    - Lanete - Because we need JJ and Urbiztondo to go and we need a future elite PG na papalit kay LA

    - Thompson/Khobuntin - these 2 are among the elite 2 way players sa draft

  11. we need a good shooter who can play a decent d

     

    If you look closely on the teams always on the top, they have at least 3, 2-way players (lock in defenders and legit scorers)

     

    ALASKA - Abueva, Manuel, Dondon, and now slowly but surely - Dela Rosa

    PUREFOODS - Ping, Barroca, Blakely (cause hes already a regular PF player), Melton

    SMB - Kraken (No.1 shot blocker sa liga), Arwind, Lassiter, Tubid, Ross (may espinas pa at yung galing satin na seldom used - JR Reyes)

    ROS - Ibanez, Norwood, Jericho Cruz, (actually all of their players handa makipag palitan ng mukha - even Chris Tiup!)

     

    And for GSM?

    - Brondial na seldom used and kulang pa sa experience dahil nga small playing time?

    - Japeth?

    - Monfort?

    - LA is a good defender "sometimes"

  12. Hayyy...magkapareho tayo ng paniniwala.....

     

    That ian sanggalang.....lots of potentials.....however...parang sayang lang na off the bench si ian satin...

     

    Lanete and sol....fast and furious 8....

     

    Video of Garvo Lanete three-point shooting practice goes viral. WATCH and find out why (23 straight 3's)

    http://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/news/garvo-lanete-shooting-practice-video-pba-rookie-draft-san-beda-hapee-three-point-shooting

     

    Eto na si Garvo nagpaparamdam na.

  13. another bora conference..this last one is kind of frustrating. Starting the 1st 2 or 3 games without Greg and Japeth and then losing to BW. These are the things that we experienced and should learn to be a more stronger team.

     

    Now that the draft is the main thing to address, the team should look also for possible trades since the drafting position is not as expected.

    Since parks will not join, and MVP Teams are so desperate in getting Troy and Mo, then time to look for other options.

     

    IMHO, thompson is the sleeper. Mala Cyrus Baguio na magaling dumepensa. While Coach FL is probably looking for his precious PG from San Beda (Lanete), its either trade on of the existing PG's or force JJ to retire. Lanete is too good to just play chess at the sidelines.

     

    Newsome i think is just another Ellis. No consistent perimeter game and puro slashing/dunk lang ang gusto - it will be a duplicate if he will be chosen.

     

    Some Options:

    Baracael + Ellis for Kia's pick to get Troy (Mas malakas tayo ke Pacman kesa sa MVP group, remember he helps GSM para makapasok sa playoffs?)

    Marcelo + Baracael for Sean Anthony and Nabong or Kramer??? (3 team trade) - we need a Ronald Tubid/ Rudy Hatfield Player type

     

    Keep LA and SOL - new Fast and Furious

  14.  

    if this is true that he is taking it cautiously to avoid any injuries in preparation for the nba offseason, then tama ka chief...it is totally unfair especially to the fans who have supported and idolized him like a king. pero sabi ko nga, sana mali ako. makikita natin mamaya. he can show his true character by bringing ginebra to the promised land.

     

    ang hirap pa naman bantayan ni OJ pag sobrang aggressive sya. Inside Outside Game - very effective.. Kakain ng alikabok si the Beast sa kanya if he will go all out.

     

    Ang malaking napansin ko na nawala sa kanya is rebounding. He can still score from the outside with jumpers, pero yung rebounding absence can be a case point - umiiwas sa banggaan.

  15. Mukhang broken foot ang injury nya...parang yun kay yao ming tsaka kay greg oden....pansinin nyo nde cya makatakon masyado at tumakbo ng mabilis.....not good prognosis for a big man if ever....sana wag naman,,,,

     

    If this is true then Kudos to Greg on insisting to play.. This is a NSD guy here.

    I Hope he will barrel his way to Alaska's defense wherein no one can actually defend him like Asi does. (except for the seldom used Eman)

  16. Manny Pacquiao says he wants to help 'favorite team' Ginebra make PBA playoffs
    Read more at http://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/news/manny-pacquiao-kia-playing-coach-pba-philippines-basketball-ginebra-fan-boxing#YFFwRw747kWqHq2Z.99

     

    MANNY Pacquiao surprised a lot of people when he showed up for KIA's final game in the PBA Governors Cup eliminations against Meralco on Wednesday afternoon.

    Pacquiao, who has been away from KIA games for a long time, said he wants to boost the morale of the Carnival and at the same time help Barangay Ginebra make the playoffs.

    At 4-6 (win-loss), Ginebra needs a KIA win of no more than 17 points against Meralco and a win against also-ran NLEX in the other half of the double-header to catch the last bus to the eight-team playoffs.

    “Oo, gusto ko makapasok ang Ginebra," said the boxing hero and KIA playing-coach. "Kahit kaunting tulong sa side ko, makatulong ako kasi madami fans yung team eh.”

    True enough, Kia looked inspired by Pacquiao's presence, even posting a nine-point lead in the second quarter.

    “Syempre, pag andyan si champ, kakaka-inspire lumaro. Saka nakakahiya na matalo, all-out support niya sa amin eh,” said KIA shooting guard Leo Avenido.

    Pacquiao, who was once an endorser of Ginebra with his mother Dionisia, also has one message to the barangay.

    “Tiwala lang. May chance yan. Syempre, kailangan ng prayers,” he said.

    Unknown to many, Pacquiao was a big fan of Ginebra growing up in General Santos City. His brother Bobby said the boxing hero never missed watching a Ginebra game in their black-and-white TV set.

    “Bata pa lang kami talagang lagi kaming sumusubaybay ng Ginebra. Si Kuya Manny, diehard fan ng Ginebra yan,” said Bobby. “Favorite ni kuya si (Robert) Jaworski saka si Bal David saka sila Noli Locsin at Vince Hizon.

    “Buong pamilya kami nun, tutok sa TV 'pag may laro Gordon’s Gin (old name of Ginebra)”

    Pacquiao’s head of security, Caloy Homo, told Spin.ph Pacquiao is still recuperating from shoulder surgery and his appearance at the Smart Araneta Coliseum was not really planned.

    “Biglaan lang 'yan. Kasi di pa siya talaga pwede manood dahil hindi pa fully healed yung balikat niya,” said Homo. “Kaso gusto nga daw niyang samahan yung team, kaya bigla kaming dating dito.”

    NLEX Road Warriors star center Asi Taulava bared he already had an inkling on why Pacquiao was at the Big Dome when he arrived.

    “I knew, he’d want to motivate KIA but it’s a different story when it comes to Ginebra. It’s a tough season for us (at NLEX). This conference didn’t fall our way becase of injuries,” said Taulava.

    “But we’ll do everything to beat Ginebra later. What a better way to go on vacation and take somebody with you,” he added.

    Taulava believes that Pacquiaos presence at the KIA bench somehow inspired Kia players to play well against Meralco.

    “Kia is really playing inspired ball with the champ. Manny is a one-man motivation crew. Just for his legacy, these guys are inspired to play tonight."

    Ginebra star enter Gregory Slaughter was happy to hear the reason behind Pacquiao's appearance.

    “That’s great. But you know they have something on the line, too, and Manny wants KIA to win. It’s a great move by their head coach to inspire the team even though the game is no longer of that bearing for them,” said Slaughter.

    “But Pacquiao’s willingness to help us (Ginebra) in his little ways is just simply wow,” added the 2013 top overall pick.

     

  17.  

    Defensive minded si FL. Madalas ngang ma sermonan si Greg kasi ugali ni Greg na tinitingnan lang ang mga tumitira sa ilalim. No effort to block their shots. Sayang ang wingspan at tangkad niya. Mas may matinding defensive weapon si Marcelo although the kid is just a rookie and a greenhorn. I see Marcelo developing into a present day Noli Locsin na may tira sa medium range.

     

    OK na ako kay Sol Mercado. And JayJay, now I think umabot na sa mind niya na mag retire. Sayang slot niya para makakuha pa ng isang magaling na player.

     

    Naging problema ni Yeo yung bulong ng dalawang Divas. Nasasapawan na kasi sila.

     

    Blessing in disguise pa ang pag kaka injury ni diva47 at hindi paggamit ke TatangJJ, because Monfort is showing a lot of heart kapag pinapasok. Ok na yung rotation na LA, Sol (although napaka inconsistent pa din at kulang sa diskarte) at Emman., I hope Sol learn from LA how to setup and make plays for Greg and Japeth.

     

    Is it me or talagang bumagal ata si OJ ngayon?

  18. Nice Nice Win!

    Tama ka brad, Japeth is the new MVP slayer! hehe

     

    Dont forget - Maraming salamat sa KIA at kay Coach Manny!

     

    Now Abuevak and Ngangaska - Bring it On!

     

    Mga kabarangay! kita kits sa Cubao bukas! Bingihin natin ang Malaska team!

     

    Ginawa na nila sa ROS dati yun, nanalo ng twice to beat, let us hope and pray na magawa nila ulit.
