Pacquiao-Hatton

Bago magkalimutan, ito ang mas inaantay ng lahat, at siguro naman lahat tayo pareho ng kampi dito. Sa Sabado/Linggo na!!! (Siguro hindi na ako mapapaaway kung maingay ako mag-cheer sa sports bar ngayon, kasi hindi naman Mexicano kalaban ni Manny.)

KG the cheerleader

No disrespect. Gusto ko lang i-admire ang mga outfits ni KG. Who knew he has such flair for fashion?

Here he is at Game 1, being assistant coach in a classic B/W/gray suit with vest:

Game 2, cheering from the sidelines. Very nice suit texture and shirt pattern.

Getting angry at Game 3, but good color combination.


Inducing man-crush from Big Baby on Game 4 with bold outfit choice.


Game 5, back to basics, with some trash-talking to go with.


Can't wait for Game 6. And Game 7, hehe.

A Children's Book About Beer?

Magpo-promote din ako ng libro. Hindi kasing-popular ni Bob Ong, lalo na sa mga Pinoy (si Betong lang so far ang alam kong na-convert ko), pero isa sa mga paborito kong author of all time (yes, as in, ever, hehe). Tom Robbins, ang sumulat ng mga librong Jitterbug Perfume, Villa Incognito, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, at mga iba pa, kasama na ang Still Life with Woodpecker, kung san ko sya na-"discover" sa 3 for P20 clearance section sa 5th floor ng National Bookstore sa Cubao kung san ako dati tumatambay ng halos buong hapon pag Linggo.

Eto ang description nya sa Wikipedia: "His novels are complex, often wild stories with strong social undercurrents, a satirical bent, and obscure details."Kakalabas lang this week ng latest nya, ang B is for Beer, "A Children's Book for Grown-ups; A Grown-up Book for Children".

Galing sa Amazon.com:

Yes, believe it or not--but B Is for Beer is also a book for adults, and bear in mind that it's the work of maverick bestselling novelist Tom Robbins, internationally known for his ability to both seriously illuminate and comically entertain.

Once upon a time (right about now) there was a planet (how about this one?) whose inhabitants consumed thirty-six billion gallons of beer each year (it's a fact, you can Google it). Among those affected, each in his or her own way, by all the bubbles, burps, and foam, was a smart, wide-eyed, adventurous kindergartner named Gracie; her distracted mommy; her insensitive dad; her non-conformist uncle; and a magical, butt-kicking intruder from a world within our world.

Populated by the aforementioned characters--and as charming as it may be subversive--B Is for Beer involves readers, young and old, in a surprising, far-reaching investigation into the limits of reality, the transformative powers of children, and, of course, the ultimate meaning of a tall, cold brewski.

Questions for Tom Robbins

Q: So, Tom Robbins, you’ve gone and written a children’s book about an alcoholic beverage. First, why the ode to beer?

A: Why not? As ode fodder, its got to have at least as much potential as nightingales and Grecian urns.

Beer is so universally beloved that 36 billion gallons of it are sold each year worldwide. Moreover, it’s been popular for thousands of years, with origins dating back to ancient Egypt and Sumer. It has deep connections to the earth -- and possibly to outer space, as well (I explain this in the book). Bittersweet, like much of life itself, it’s exceptionally thirst-quenching and enormously refreshing; it’s cheerful, accessible, affordable, lovely in color, and somewhat nourishing, being one of our few neutral foods: perfectly balanced between acidic and alkaline, between yin and yang. Best of all perhaps, beer makes us tipsy. What’s not to ode?

Q: Okay, but what’s the angle with children?

A: Children see beer commercials every time they watch a sporting event on TV. In the supermarket, they pass shelves and coolers overflowing with the stuff. Neon beer signs wink at them as they’re driven to school, to church or the mall. And, if their own parents and older siblings aren’t enjoying beer, then the parents and siblings of their friends surely are.

Kids are constantly exposed to beer, it’s everywhere; yet, aside from wagging a warning finger and growling -- true enough as far as it goes -- “Beer is for grownups,” how many parents actually engage their youngsters on the subject? As a topic for detailed family discussion, it’s generally as taboo as sex.

It’s a kind of largely unpremeditated side-stepping, and part of the reason is that most parents are themselves uninformed. Even if mommy and daddy have more than a clue about beer’s ingredients and how it’s brewed, they know nothing of its history, let alone the rich psychological, philosophical, and mythic associations bubbling beneath the surface of its wide appeal.

Q: So, children need to know the “meaning” of beer?

A: Well, at the very least they need a clearer understanding of why their dad keeps a second refrigerator in the garage, and why he stays up late out there on school nights with his shirt off, listening to Aerosmith.

Q: Of course. How would you compare B Is for Beer to your previous nine books of fiction?

A: At 126 pages, it’s shorter. It’s illustrated. And it’s less complex, although considerably more complicated than Poopie the Pukey Puppy.

Q: What will you possibly do for an encore?

A: Not my problem. I’ve decided to take advantage of outsourcing. My next novel will be written by a couple of guys in Bangalore.

Boys Don't Cry

De ku gawa iyan ha, galing iyan sa youtube account ni jenth15. Peru siguru, kung ikukulung ku ang sarili ku sa luub ng isang buwan at de lalabas ng bahay, na ang kapiling lang ay mga libru ni Master Bob, malamang makakagawa din aku ng ganyan. Ay ngayun, dahil sa may nakaisip na na gumawa ng ganyan, korny na kung gagayahin ku pa. Para maiba naman, Rebulto na lang niya ang aking gagawin, ganitu ang yari:


(larawan mula sa diumanoy friendster account ni Bob Ong)

Kung kayu naman ay ordinaryong BO Fanatic lamang, sumali na lang kayu sa Yahoo Groups ng Bobong Pinoy, makakatanggap kayu ng sangkatutak na e-mail araw araw, tungkul sa mga kung anu anung isyu, kagaya nung kay Nicole, "Cheap" Tsao, Ebola Virus sa Bulacan, Bakit nanalu ang Baler the Movie sa MMFF 2008, tama baga na Air Force ang pinili ni Karl Winston Cacanindin, pagkapanalu ni Barack Obama at ang Baler nga baga ang Surfing Capital ng Pilipinas? Mga ganyang topic. Around 250 emails ang marerecieve mu araw-araw. Matyaga ka na kung makabasa ka ng sampu. Pwede ring umorder at bumili na lang ng Limited Edition T-shirt ni BO, oo, limited, as in limited edition talaga, 200 shirts lang per design, 200 shirts din per size sa bawat isang design, dalawa lang ang t-shirt design, 7 ang available sizes sa bawat design, gets? Para umorder at maintindihan ang sinabi ku, click nyu lang itu. Itu ngayun ang ang bagung raket ni BO, saka pala itu:



Yes Man! Ang ika-pitong aklat mula kay Master Bob. At sa ika-pitong pagkakataun, wala na namang Book Launching at Autograph Signing na mangyayari., wala ding interview sa radyo o TV. Bigla na lang lalabas sa mga bookstores ang mga aklat niya, mauubusan ng stock tapus magkakaruun ulit, tapus de mu lang namamalayan, may pang walung aklat na. Kahit naman anung gawin mu o kahit anung gawin ku, de na siguru lalabas sa pinagtataguang lungga niya si BO. Anu kaya kung gawan natin siya ng tsismis anu? Halimbawa, gawa ka ng article sa isang tabloid, gagawin mung headline, ganitu ang pamagat: "Bob Ong, dahilan nga ba ng hiwalayang Dingdong at Marianne?" o ganitu: "Bob Ong, at Chip Tsao, magpinsan" tapus may sub title na: "BO at CT, close friends". Lalabas kaya siya para magpaliwanag sa SNN o The Buzz o sa TV Patrol? After 3 years at wala pa ding reaction na nanggagaling sa kanya mas maganda siguru kung siraan na lang natin siya. Ikalat mu thru text messages na bakla siya, na supporter siya ni GMA, na de naman talaga tutuung pogi siya, or magpa press conference ka at sabihin mung ni-rape at nabuntis ka ni BO saka ka niya inutangan at de nagbayad. At pag de pa rin siya lumabas, isama na lang natin siya sa Most Wanted List ng PNP, i-reproduce ang picture niya at idikit sa lahat ng Bus Terminal, Airports, Ro-Ro ports, sa mga malls, sa lahat LRT station, sa mga sinehan, pasugalan, beerhouse, eswelahan, sa kalawakan , sa marianas trench , gawan ng malaking billboard at i-display sa EDSA at patungan ang ulu niya ng PhP1,000,000,000,000.00. Ang problema, kung saan tayu kukuha ng picture niya...

Back-to-Back

Okay, i finally get over it. Boston will not have a home court advantage this post season, at least on Eastern Conference Finals and the NBA Finals on June.

Yes the Cavs are 39-1 at home, with one more game left at The Q, but with KG back in the line-up, as well as Leon Powe and the ever reliable and energetic Brian Scalabrine, my Boston Celtics is pretty confident that they can win anywhere in the world, even at the Big Dome (Boston against Brgy. Ginebra?).

It's a pretty rugged world out there in the Wild Wild West Jopay, lets see how far your aging Spurs could go, with Manu cheering at the bench. Betong's Wizard is heading to the lottery and have plenty of time fishing and we will have to wait untill next season if they can get back in the playoffs under a new coach,Flip Saunders. Jeannete is cheering for the Houston Astros now, mainly because (i think) she doesn't want to see another early exit of the Houston Rockets.

Rakrakan na!

Si Anonymous

shiela: sinong anonymous? 27 Mar 09. 14:00

Sa tanang buhay ku, ngayun ku lang naencounter itung tanung na itu. Napakahirap sagutin kung tutuusin. Pag uwi ku sa Baler nuung Mahal na Araw, nakilala ku din si anonymous. Duun sa Command Center ni Datu Betong, habang nagiinuman kami ng Ro Horse (Red Horse) nila Anson ( na ayun kay Pia ay si Anson na parang si Anson) at si Paring GB. Si anonymous ay kaibigan ni Ate Nekay, at silang dalawa nuun ay galing sa "Autistic Bar". Nga pala, sa "Autistic Bar" na natugtug sila Lakay, Eric at Char, saradu na di baga ang Bistro. Malapit yung "Autistic Bar" sa Bay's Inn. Pag-aari ni anonymous ang ilan sa mga very well said comments at insights na sinabi niya sa mas malalim na pananalita sa ating most (un)popular post (so far). Itu siya:

(picture used without consent)
Ang tanung ngayun kung sinu pa yung ibang anonymous? Ay de ku na alam. Siguru apelyido nila yung anonymous. Madami iyan sila ay. Minsan makikita mu din sila sa mga quotations at sa kung saan saan. Sa susunud, tatanungin ku na siya kung sinu-sinu pa yung mga kamag-anak niyang anonymous. Iyun na lang ang regalu ku sa iyu Shiela sa kasal mu.

CLODS by Jessica Zafra -Tw7sted (11.24.2001)

It is an inescapable fact of life that the more competent you are at your job, the more shit you will get at work.

If the world were a fair place, you would be rewarded for your job performance with faster promotions, higher pay better benefits and longer vacations. Instead, complete dunderheads get promoted above you, you stay at the same salary level for seemingly forever, and you can't take vacations because the office just can't spare you the time. You are made to carry not just your own workload, but that of your inept colleagues who are too thick to realize their own inadequacies. "It's very difficult for the incompetent people to know they are incompetent," Cornell University psychology professor David Dunning told Eve Tahmincioglu of the New York Times. " If they could figure out, they probably wouldn't be". If you think you are incompetent, you are probably aren't. If you think you're a genius at work, it is highly probable that you're an idiot.

In the same article, management professor Frank M. Shipper noted that approximately one out of six employees or managers fails to realize their own incompetence even when told about it point blank. Yes, incompetence generates a force field of obliviousness.

By covering for these incompetent clods in the name of teamwork, you make it possible for them to not only ensure their job security but to land the promotion you want. How? By giving them the free time to suck up to your senior executives, socialize with the boss, and forge personal connections with the people who might decide to terminate their non-services. None of these have anything to do with their ability to discharge their duties, but for some reason your senior executives are taken in. Aren't these bosses supposed to know better? to be continued.........
