Day 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant.

Day 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair...must try this on their bed.

Day 762 - Slept all day so that I could annoy my captors with sleep depriving, incessant pleas for food at ungodly hours of the night.

Day 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was, hmmm. Not working according to plan.

Day 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid. My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth.

Day 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odor of the glass tubes they call "beer." More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

Day 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The Bird on the other hand has got to be an informant. He has mastered their frightful tongue (something akin to mole speak) and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room his safety is assured. But I can wait. It is only a matter of time.

After the wild back and forth game between the Jazz and the Warriors last night (not to mention the whole D-Fish story line) we should all come to the conclusion that this is one of the best series that we have seen in a very long time.

This is what an NBA playoffs should be ladies and gentlemen.

Lets not forget, NBA critics never gave these teams any chance at all during the first round. Initial projection is Mavs will sweep the Warriors and Rockets will win the series vs the Jazz 4 games to 1. People often say that these are the teams that "should not be here". Well sorry to disappoint you guys but one of this team will fight for the Western Conference title and has a legitimate shot at going to the NBA Finals.

First, the GS Warriors, dont let let that 42-40 record fool you, these Warriors are certainly better than those numbers. With their run and gun offense under the Nellie System the Warriors can certainly go all the way. The way they beat the heavy favorite Dallas Mavericks makes then capable of upseting any team in the league, during that series the Mavs never stood a chance. 3's are flying every, nobodys like Matt Barnes and Andris Biedrins becoming somebodys, Stephen Jackson proving he is a complete player offensively and defensively and the most important factor is Baron Davis solidifying his All-Star status. This is centainly NOT the Warriors that we've been watching for the past 5 years.

Now the Utah Jazz. The plays, the rotation, the cuts this is a dejavu 7 years ago with a cast lead by bound hall of famer Stockton and Malone. Different personel this time, lead by 2nd year superstar Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer the sets are the same but it is as effective as ever. This Jazz team had a more entertaining 1st round though, very competitive... the main question on that series: how can you stop a 7'6 monster like Yao Ming and a scoring machine like Tracy McGrady... the answer: turn you own scoring machine named Memo Okur into a defensive specialist and reload your AK-47. This series came down to the wire and the better team won.

This type of playoff series will only come once in a blue moon. Its not about the individual talent, its about the team. The score is tight from start to finish, 2 of the best (loudest!) home crowds, old school vs new school, power vs speed. These teams DESERVE to be here.

my mates at convergys are droping one by one. this is officially the end of the "Protection Clan" era. im the last one standing, never thought of that happening though...

my initial plan is to work with this company for 4-6 mo. just to be regularized i said... to enjoy the life of having money (alot) in my wallet for once. but then i met Pai and after alot of beating, alot of staring, alot of smiling and literally 3 trucks of C2 Ice Tea, time passed by and before i knew it, its my 1 year aniversary at CVG!

after the Pai phase i said to my self "well this is it, no more reason to stay here" and so i decided to plan my up comming escape. after 1 week i bought a motorcycle, whick complicate my situation in a whole new level!

you see, a minimum type salary will not be enough if i expect to do my thing and pay for the lease of my motorcycle. bottomline is i need to stay here while i pay for my sh!t... which is 18 freaking months!!!

but with the recent turn of events... i think this time i really dont have a choice. i have applied to various broadcast and production firms since january... so far only one replied and i had an interview last tue at Star Cinema. i really hope this worksout bec now that majority of my friends have already left (expt DD "Glass Jaw" Carvajal) the fun in this place is already gone.

its not about the money anymore... so what if i starve my self for a few months just to pay for my motorcycle (i need to loose some weight anyway :P), ill make it work, i hope it work.

i got this... i always do.

if utah is going to make the playoffs (now the "if" word is out g0ddm!) Boozer and Kirilenko are badly needed.

romeo expect these players (including my boy Harpring) to get alot of minutes bec of what happened to AK. this is bad bec Andrei is starting to get his game back after starting slow this season. All-Star weekend is comming, so that should give him enough resting time to be 100% by the start of the half season. rest AK REST!!! we need you bro!

It was confirmed on 11 January 2007 that David Beckham will be leaving Real Madrid and will be joining MLS team Los Angeles Galaxy on a 5 year deal. Beckham said: "This week Real asked me to make a decision regarding their offer to extend my contract. After considering several options to stay in Madrid or join other major British and European teams, I have decided to join L.A. Galaxy."

The Galaxy, citing industry experts, said Beckham's deal is worth more than $250 million in salary and commercial endorsements and is "thought to be the biggest in sporting history." This includes a $50 million USD ($10 million USD per year) salary, retention of existing sponsorship contract rights estimated to be worth $25 million USD, merchandising sales, and share of the club profits. This will make Beckham set to become the first modern footballer in history to have a stake in the football club he plays for - and share in its profits. -London (AP) / Wiki

(this is very good for U.S. Football, the publicity and the exposure that they are going to get will generate interest not just internationaly but with american audience as well. this deal will also open doors for other big time football players to sign w/ MLS, the league recently changed its rules on salary caps, making way for Beckham to sign the lucrative deal and become the first player to be signed under the new rule.)

ive just watched jackass 2 last night and i can honestly say, that ive officialy had my best laugh this year. this movie is way better than the first one, more dangerous stunts, more sh!t ass moments and blood... lots and lots of blood.

 knoxville is insane, wrestling anacondas (which he was bitten several times) and running with bulls. this movie is absolutely crazy. i love the scene when knoxville almost got himself killed after a bull ran over him while he was blind folded, the guy literally flew in the air after the bull hit him in the balls.

 another crazy scene was when ryan dunn branded bam margera with a penis-shaped iron in his ass, the reaction of bams mom after this incident was priceless.

i truly recommend this movie to everybody hahaha.

 Being a Utah Jazz fan in the Philippines is a drag. games are rarely shown on tv, you can see sports article regarding the jazz once in a blue moon, you go to malls and look at sports establishments and not even one single nba item with jazz logo in it. the jazz is a good team, good franchise, good players... whats wrong with you people!!

its a big surprise to everybody (including me) about the jazz fast start in the still on going nba season. they started the season with a 4-0 mark and surprised everyone when they defeated post season favorites houston rockets and san antonio spurs. the jazz is now 23-10 4th in the western conference and 1st in the northwest division.

its a good start... but the main question is will it last? will they continue surprising people when playoffs arive? or the most dreaded question to every jazz fan... can they stay healthy?

lets analize the 5 starters on the jazz roster this year:

 (C) Mehmet Okur
Memo is often called the poor-mans Dirk Nowitzki. he can pretty much do all dirk can do but just a little slower. while i personaly love memo, i have to agree to that. he's a good spot up shooter can rack up 3's on a regular basis, can post up any player in the leage and he's a good rebounder. the only problem with memo is his quickness. he doesnt have a quick release, it would usually take him 1-2 secs before he fires up a 3 ball... now that is bad when your the 1st or 2nd option on your teams offense. opposing players can run towards you, block or distract you given that huge time frame. its a good thing that the jazz play system gives him enough space for him to set up those shots. the brightest spot on memo's game though is his clutch play. several game winning shots are included in this turkish snipers resume.

 (PF) Carlos Boozer
Booze is the biggest surprise not just in the jazz season but for the whole nba this year. avaraging 21.5 points and 11.8 rebounds per game, this double double monster is arguably the main reason why the jazz are in the tops of the nba rankings this year. the main concern about boozer is his health, he played just 84 games for the past 2 seasons bec of countless hamstring injury. if booze can continue his health streak the jazz can go all the way.

 (SF) Andrei Kirilenko
AK47 is the lone bright spot on the jazz defense this season. this long armed russian moves well w/o the ball and usually get his block shots on the weak side or on opposing teams fast break plays. he can also knock off open jumpers and is a good inside player as well. this guy is a freak and i mean that in a good way, long arms and good jumping abilty is what makes him one of the best off ball defender in the "history" of the nba.

 (PG) Deron Williams
this sophomore player from Ilinois University have certainly stepped out of Cris Pauls shadow this season. some fans were disappointed (including myself) that the jazz picked D-Will over CP3, stating that its the dumbest move the jazz organization has ever made in the history of the franchise... boy did williams proved them wrong. averaging 16.5 points and 9.5 assist per game, williams is the operator of the jazz offense. whether he will drive then dish to an open okur for 3, hit jumpers off of a screen from AK or reliving a Stock to Malone moment with boozer, this guy can do it all... and the most scary part, D-Will is only 21 yrs old, he's still improving.

  (SG) ???
this is bad... the jazz doesnt have a legit player to cover this spot this season, as i recall vs the Lakers, Mamba actually dropped 52 points against the jazz that night, then Redd fired 57 vs the Bucks and just last night T-Mac scored 44 points in a blow out against Houston. all of these comming from a guy from the shooting guard position. the jazz really cannot defend this position really well, AK can only cover much but we need a legit player that can stop bigtime scorers like them. right now Derek Fisher is the designated starter for this spot, he's an undersized guard with good range and a championship caliber exp. though fish is always having a hard time defending taller guards bec of his size and his slow movement speed, he makes up for it with his physical play that suits well with Jerry Sloans defensive system. Ronnie Brewer the "i-sprain-my-foot-while-walking" rookie can potentialy cover this spot, he's quick on screens and is very athletic as well. he's still a young guy though... lets just hope he's not a late bloomer.

new year's resolution and plans:

1. blog on a regular basis
2. lose my fuck!ng weight
3. read a book
4. change career
5. save money
6. change image from "funny and gullible" to "funny, dark and edgy"
7. cut my playing time for online games
8. go back to my roots in terms music
9. go to church atleast once a week
10. maintain my "semi-kalbo" hair style for the entire year!

losing weight is very important for me this year simply bec of my upcoming change of career, when i started to work at a call center, things became slow... really slow.... im sitting all night, sleeping all day... even on my day off im still either sitting or sleeping. when i wake up during my days off ill go get some food and will eat it in front of the tv, and when i do feel like going out ill just go to my friends house and either watch dvd with my peepz or play computer games (both require sitting down). dude im sick and tired of sitting down! i gained like 40pounds since i worked on a call center. been doing boxing with my buddy DD but right after we train, we always go to SM north and eat huge lunch... so lets just say the 4 pounds of sweat and sh!t that we shead during the training hours, is being returned x2 with pure beef, chicken and soda! (info: i actually have a treadmill at my place bought that february of 2006... its been brand new eversince)

i already bought a book to start my reading seasion. Diablo: Birthright. its the prequel of the famous rpg game from Blizard Ent. titled Diablo. ive played and finished the game itself several times so i thinking that if im going to read a book, it might as well be something that i will potentialy enjoy alot. (info: so far im in the 5th page and its been great... ill write a book review after im done)

changing my career is something, that i MUST do in order to survive this year... phyisicaly, emotionaly and mentaly. im thinking of entering the media industry, i have a freaking degree for this, graduated mass communication: major in broadcasting. while my talking skills are being used here in my call center stint (alot)... its simply not enough for me as a person to be doing "just" this... i mean somethings missing. i miss the production, i miss the exitement... i miss the fun... its not fun anymore. i really have to switch, it may not be healty financialy (keep telling my self its not about the money... but who am i kidding hehehe) but like i said in order for me not to slit my own throat or drive my motorcycle into a brick wall (for added drama) i REALLY have to switch job. (info: as per Kurt "im stupid i left WWE for TNA" Angle ---only those who are bold enough to chase their dreams, are the ones getting it)

save money is very important im like a zombie walking around. no purpose... my money is either being spent to foods or gimick related events. food trip with my office friends, bar hopping with C.O.G. or shop hopping with my peepz (shop hopping is where you go to diff computer shops to play games... i know its lame) this is all i do with my money... oks so there is the ocasional bigay sa bahay or bayad sa motor, but is that it?? there is got to be more to life than this.

the image change is a constant thing for me, this year i want to be more respectable. respectable not in a boring kind of way... slight respectable lang :P

my playing time dominate my off time and even my office time... as we speak im playing Knight Fight an online web broser type game check my character out: http://www.knightfight.co.uk/?ac=vid&vid=63012576

anyway... this is the main reason why i dont have money to buy some more impt stuff like clothes, shampoo, hygiene materials etc. hehehe. lagi kong kinukuha ung sa nanay at tatay ko that is why they're always saying im buraot... which is true. you know as i see it, we are all addict whether its drugs, booze, sports or sex... people need to do what they have to do. im my case its computer games. (info: about what i said bout cutting my playing time... disregard that)

lets see... the last time i actually bought a cd was... w8 i never bought a cd... ever. the last time i bought something music related was a cassette tape... dude kaset! sobrang tagal na nun! i cant even remember the last time i listened to a radio station. so its also one of my plans to go back to my music roots. pop/rock genre. (info: im into the whole pop thing before... now i dont know what's pop and what's not)

spiritualy i need this one... enough said. (whats up bro Jess... im back! 5 all the way)

this is something to signify the new image and the new me. the revolution will happen the change will happen! ... i hope... :P

my new years resolution... join the bloggers community! so here we go...
