Murray, Third Time Unlucky

For the third time, Andy Murray of Britain chickened out. There was so much expectation that he would finally get his first grand slam on Melbourne but he instead melted and gave in to pressure and lost as if it were a 3rd round beating. Novak Djokovic won in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 to claim his second major title and his second in...

Nadal Slam A No-Deal

If you thought Rafael Nadal looked disappointed in this picture well guess what, you're right. World number one Rafael Nadal was crushed by fellow Spaniard world number 7 David Ferrer in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 to reach the semifinals of the 2011 Australian Open in Melbourne. What made this loss so astounding was that Rafael Nadal...

Explosion Along EDSA Buendia

A north-bound passenger bus has just exploded along EDSA in Makati City. Two dead and sixteen people have been reported hurt by the incidence. Whoever did the attack still has to be known. This piece of news should serve as a reminder to all about at least two things:1.) That everyone should be vigilant enough to try to prevent any untoward...

Who Wants To Go To Bellaroca?

That's is not one of the Grecian islands near Santorini or Mykonos. Nor is that anywhere near the Cypriot party resort of Ayia Napa. This beautiful island resort is actually in the Philippines. Bellaroca is in Marinduque. No, I've never been there - the same way I've never been to Amanpulo in Palawan or in Misibis Bay, Albay, or in Eskaya...

The Closest I've Ever Been To A Conversation With Maria Sharapova

MaSha in action at the Australian Open this year Who doesn't wanna have a conversation with Maria Sharapova? Unless you are a bigger celebrity than she is, then you would have cared less. But for the simpleton who makes US$XX,XXX dollars in a year, who doesn't have 3.6 million Facebook fans, any kind of conversation with a superstar,...

Derrick Rose Is In Full Bloom!

Eversince the Chicago Bulls acquired the likes of Joachim Noah and Derrick Rose, I've been secretly wanting them to continue winning in the playoffs. Why? Cos I thought the team had the potential to be a big threat in the East. With both Luol Deng and Carlos Boozer, Chicago Bulls is now (after more than a decade) a top contender in the East.  They...

New Zodiac Signs (and not liking it!)

News about the new zodiac signs must have reached you by now. All of your life, you've been brought to believe that you carry all of the characteristics of your own zodiac sign, thus in the process, believing on what the stars will say about you (which for me is still odd). I was born on November 10, 1984 and I was born a Scorpio. I had...

When Forever Comes Knocking (A Poem)

You may not know it, but forever's waiting outside like a friend ready to pick you up onto your next destination. It may come knocking, it may come as a scare. It can be the most compelling thing to come into you. Don't be afraid to flirt with forever. It is a playful playmate who oftentimes leave you panting for air. It is a precious...

Failed The UPCAT? So What?!

So what if you didn't pass the UPCAT? You might think that you're not that smart that's why UP didn't let you in. You might be embarrassed to face your classmates who you've seen on the way to UP Diliman campus that fateful August morning. You might think you're less important because of the failed mark. Guess what kid, IT DOESN'T MATTER...

Bruno Mars is Pinoy Pride

On an otherwise very Justin Bieber-y 2010, a half-Filipino artist broke through, so way through was his breakthrough that he ended up getting six Grammy nominations in the process. Bruno Mars stormed his way to earthly consciousness via the hit songs "Nothing On You", "Billionaire", "Just The Way You Are", "F*ck You" and "Grenade". Of all...
