enterprising pinoy: pacquiao diaz dvd already on sale
1 July 2008
In only a few hours after Manny Pacquiao won over David Diaz last June 28, 2008 in Mandalay Bay, the PPV pay per view movie was already available for download on torrent.
The enterprising pinoy already had this for sale on the streets of Quiapo shortly after, for only P35 to P50 a copy. Of course this irked licensee Solar Sports.
Almost simultaneously, probably different entrepreneurs were selling the same show in the internet for $10 at ebay.
The Enterprising Pinoy is a blog section that narrates how poverty has forced the average Filipino to take on unorthodox means of income that would otherwise be not thought about by an average 9 to 5er of a first world country worker.
utopic dreams: running and recycling
30 June 2008
Starting today, i would write articles on how man's folly is ultimately doing him in. In the Utopic dreams series, we will explore how man's pride, ego, greed, capitalism, masks, etc. are contributing to his self destruction.
First case in point. Take a look at this man encircled in yellow. What is he doing? He's jogging every day in greenhills, like my friend in his blog prometheuscommeth at the ultra.
The greenhills jogging scene has evolved from the pioneer well to dos who ate at Mcdonald's greenhills after their "workout". It has now included some various groups like tai ichi, aerobics, and other commuting segments have joined in as well.

Ateneo Blue Eagles: UAAP Season 71 Lineup (2008)
19 June 2008UAAP Season 71 is fast approaching, and after a victorious Nike Summer League campaign, the Ateneo Blue Eagles go in full of hope and confidence. Here's my own look at the players who will be leading the quest for this year's crown:
Ateneo beats La Salle in Nike Summer League Semis
11 June 2008
Barely a week after losing to their arch foes, Ateneo exacted quick revenge with a 10 point win over La Salle in the Nike Summer League semifinals. Ateneo thus advanced to the finals to face UE, who beat FEU earlier in the day. Chris Tiu led the Eagles with 17 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.
The Ateneo-UE final will be played Sunday, June 15 at the Philsports Arena (ULTRA) at 3pm, most likely telecast live over Studio 23.
La Salle beats Ateneo in OT in Fil oil match
7 June 2008Preseason my foot! Any blue vs green game certainly deserves watching be it exhibition, preseason, regular season or what have you. The rivalry always brings out the best from both and this afternoon's game proved that once again.
Ateneo was on top by two with around a minute left in regulation and looked well on their way to a win when La Salle freshman Bagatsing swished a three pointer to give them the lead. Ateneo came back after a time out with a Chris Tiu trey from the corner to take back the advantage. The Archers ran a perfect give and go to Bagatsing who came through again to tie the game. Buenafe and Baclao failed to convert for ADMU as the buzzer sounded to signal overtime. DLSU was on fire in the OT, hitting shot after shot to win the game.
Fil-oil Flying V: Ateneo vs. La Salle
4 June 2008To whet the appetite of avid UAAP followers of both teams, the Ateneo Blue Eagles will take on the De La Salle Green Archers in an elimination round game of the ongoing preseason Fil-oil Flying V tournament. Although this is a preseason tournament, expect nothing less from the two archrivals as both teams always bring out the best from each other.
Game time is set at 3pm, June 7, Saturday. Venue is The Arena in San Juan. The juniors game between the two schools' high school teams precedes this at 1pm. Mayor JV Ejercito has made preparations for traffic and crowd control as he anticipates a big turnout around the Santolan area. TV coverage for the game will be on a delayed basis, 5pm for the seniors game on C/S RPN9 and 7pm (juniors) and 9pm (seniors) on BTV.

31 May 2008The Boston Celtics eliminated the Detroit Pistons 89-81 in Game 6 of the NBA Eastern conferen
ce finals a few minutes ago to join the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2008 NBA Finals.
The dream matchup makes fans, league officials and the TV network moguls salivate. Boston GM Danny Ainge set the wheels in motion at the start of the season by bringing in All Stars Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett to join Paul Pierce in a bold move that woke up Celtic fans around the globe and stirred the dormant leprechauns.
