WHEN IT MATTERS

Andy Grey of Champions League broadcasting fame had a word for it: rapture. Such was what Ateneo fans felt when the final buzzer sounded last night on a strong-armed sweep by the Blue Eagles over the hapless Green Archers. [...]

Nonoy Baclao is from Bacolod. We share one thing in common: we’re from the same province. And I’m proud of him, very proud. No, not only because he was declared Finals MVP of UAAP Season 71. No, not because he plays basketball well. But more because he was big enough to acknowledge that his dressing [...]

Yesterday we were at The Podium for two reasons, basically. One was to have some of the beads in my Malu Veloso blouse re0sawn and to find a cable for my husband’s Treo so he could sync data into the computer. Malu’s girl did it quickly, no charge, but Mobile 1 didn’t have a cable [...]

shameless plugging by a stage mother, but I blog about it here not so much to get your vote, okay, that too, but was I amused when I registered. They ask for your birthdate: month, day and year. Now the year is a problem. I guess, NU thinks their fans only go as far back [...]

Got this via email. I hope Mr. Olivares doesn’t mind my sharing it. Very heartwarming story of Carlos Sharma and Rabeh al-Husseini. Made me cry.

I avoided turning on the TV this morning because my son was cramming his paper. Then my sister called, The Blue Eagles were on TV: Channel 2. Begging my son’s indulgence, I turned on the TV. In it were half of the BE (my husband immediately asked, is Chris Tiu there?) I said no. Then [...]

I didn’t catch all of it, not the beginning at least, unless her first song was the one with Robin Padilla? I’m sure not.
Robin Padilla as usual, was hamming it up. He was dressed impeccably to match the megastar – in a coat and tie, no less. Hugo Boss? Armani? He looked straight out of [...]

At Rustan’s this morning, found neapolitan ice cream in a box. A half-gallon box costs P379 plus and it’s yummy. they also had neapolitan ice cream sandwich. One box has six sandwiches but I didn’t get that because in the long run, the half-gallon will go a longer way, unlike the sandwich which will be [...]

Random pictures of the team before, during and after the thanksgiving mass right after the finals. Sorry they aren’t properly arranged. I just randomly clicked on the different shots taken by my husband and son. I may add more later.

Or at least that’s how I refer to KFC’s latest, most endearing commercial. The setting is an office, possibly a conference room. A few men are gathered and one of them says he suspects someone is hiding something. Then he says, “alam ko na” while slowly opening a KFC box. And [...]
