cersa 2013 fantasy league results

after spending almost the entire season 2nd place, i ended up 5th place. bad decision on trading tim duncan and danny green for david lee and brandon knight. o well, i needed to take the risk.

my line-up was just not good enough. congrats to bricks and clems. until next year...

kaya vs gau

i only got to watch the first 30 minutes of football action with chiefy scoring a superb strike. i've heard it was a goalfest ending with 3 - 3. it seems that the ufl never runs out of drama. it is turning out to be one of the most promising football leagues in asia.

where to drink in makati?

since moving out of makati 8 months ago, i haven't really been up-to-date with the bar scene. but i think the list below is enough to keep you buzzed the entire summer.

1) bar m (114 valero st.)
a hidden gem with a very good scotch/whiskey selection. if ur looking for a nice and quiet place to talk over drinks, this is up there in my list.

2) blind big (227 salcedo st., legaspi village)
a speak-easy bar where you can bring your guests who are particular with their drinks/cocktails. quite pricey but worth a visit.

3) bond urban pub (catleya condominium building, 235 salcedo st., legaspi village)
it's just walking distance from blind pig. this used to be "tabu". every tuesday is model's night. nuff said. hehe.

4) dilingers (gbelt 3)
one of those rare places where i'm be comfortable drinking alone. check this out!

5) prohibition (gbelt 3)
after drinking a bottle or two at dilingers, i usually check out prohibition which is just next door. this place reminds me of cuisine. good old times. the veranda is also very-skye like. it's like visiting two bars in one place.

5) bugsys
good food and reasonably priced beer/drinks. our default tambayan. you cant go wrong with the buffalo tenders and the cheese burger roll.

6) bowler
ambiance is a hit. im not really sure about the food. it doesn't matter... i usually just drink here and i have no complaints.


guys! keep it cool this summer. drink lots of liquid! haha. cheers!

donaire vs rigondeaux

bad year so far for filipinos in boxing. a week ago, viloria lost two titles via split decision. and today, donaire was out-boxed by rigondeaux. i didn't get to watch the entire match, only the last four rounds. but based on what i saw, i think the better fighter won the match.

o well.... i guess pacman has to step it up this september. we need a win badly.

loyola sparks vs global fc

my second ufl game was quite fascinating. 1 - 1 draw between the top 2 best teams in ufl. it was a full-house at the emperador stadium... football has really come a long way. looks like this will be one of the most exciting ufl seasons. good times!

franco - the solo concert

here's the list of songs played last night. i might have missed a song or two. but im pretty sure at least 18 songs were played. sulit! the last time i saw franco played a long set was maybe 2010 or 2011 at eastwood. medyo matagal na nga.

Moonset
Lover's Fire
Seasons
To Survive
Beautiful Diversion
Muse
Last Waltz
For My Dearly Departed
Renewal
Better Days
Across the Milyway
Uprising
A Mass for the End of Time
Memory Kill
Next Train Out
The Gathering
Castaway
Song for the Suspect

most people, including me, thought that the superband's breakup last year was the end of franco. im glad we're wrong. this sophomore album is a testament of more good things to come.

positivism is important. good vibes.

the long weekend

7 things that made my loooooong weekend productive!

1) visita iglesia with my family on holy thursday (parking, as expected, was such a pain. thinking of doing this every good friday instead)
2) station of the cross at bgc
3) finished season 7 of how i met your mother (i can sense that the end is near)
4) got to watch 2 films on my must-watch list - moonrise kingdom and searching for sugarman (i was not that impressed with both. they were quality films though)
5) concluded the 6th bej fifa cup (this 3rd championship finish is the sweetest)
6) bestman duties - suit fitting, etc. (four more weeks before my bro's big day)
7) 4 nights of 8-hour sleep (this only happens once a year)
8) finished a graphic novel - box office poison (mindblown :) )
9) finally got the chance to visit ihop (the 20 mins wait was not worth it though!)

hope you guys also had a blast last weekend!
