This is a review of 'My Game', an hour long documentary by director-producer tandem Carlo Ledesma and Mel Lozano that aims to highlight the roots of some of our basketball heroes, namely Nike talents Ren-Ren Ritualo, Don-Don Hontiveros, Arwind Santos, Jobe Nkemakolam, James Yap and Rico Maierhofer. Premiered last October 18, 2007 at the Powerplant [...]
Our good friends at Nike Phils. have for some odd reason found it fit for my lowly self to be in the presence of The Great One.
I've waited for approx 2 weeks to finally make this announcement, preferring to remain on the safe side by making sure first. However a few days ago I received [...]
I have told Art that I loved his narrative style on his blog a few days ago when we sat together at an event two weeks ago. For some reason I knew that he'd be a terrific read if he started blogging, and since I found his link on the first PWIT I had been [...]
I still cannot really come to believe that the great Dennis Johnson has passed away.
Not that I've lost grip on reality, it's just that the Great DJ is such a larger than life character to me. He is my idol of all idols. He is the reason I've always worn jersey #33, (somebody already beat [...]
baller freaks listen up. Repost from ballex.
We've compiled every basketball related event calendar into one Super Calendar! This means you can get all UAAP, NCAA, PBA, NBA and World Championship schedules into one calendar, so you won't have to check several every time.
I was ecstatic when I received this letter two days ago from QC based jersey manufacturer Botak, from time immemorial, the preferred jersey provider of the UAAP, NCAA, PBL, PBA, and just about any decent basketball league in the country today. It reads:
Hello there!
I'm ... from Cejogua Sports Corporation, a.k.a BOTAK. If you're not familiar [...]
Basketball Exchange.ph is almost three months old now, and goodness how time flies when you're having fun.
And having fun we are! I've found two great writers Chip Lopez and Phillip Kimpo Jr., who by a stroke of sheer luck, answered the call for writers and have appeared as passionate (which is common), and as dutiful [...]
Basketball's all about love, and since I'm a world-class lover, I hasten onto this Earth once again The Basketball Exchange Philippines, to which all sorts of orange ball lovin' will reside.
Seriously, I've been dilatory in my duties as administrator and chief poster, so I'm making up for lost time, especially since the NBA Playoffs are way into the midst of their proceedings.
So First off, I'M LOOKING FOR MORE WRITERS. If you're like me, and you do imaginary lay-ups walking down the street, then you probably should seek professional help. However, if you can write about it as well, then GODDAMIT, VOLUNTEER NOW. Email at ghmercado at gmail dot com posthaste.
Secondly, I got myself a fancy new layout, settling on the 3 column Relaxation based Wordpress Theme after my initial 3 column preference called Tricolumn bombed. As it happens, 3 column Relaxation turned out to be Pinoytechblog's base as well. It's kinda ugly at the moment, and I hate the colors, but I'll get back to it soon enough.
Thirdly I got Feedburner to work and put two Google ads, one at the rightmost column and the other to show up during comments. Was working on a nice 468_15 text only setup for the header portion but it skewed things up so I'll leave it at that for the moment.
Finally, welcome Wilfred Gabriel of NBAaddict.blogspot.com as my first victim writer, and freshly grad Phillip Kimpo Jr. of Crimson Crux as my second. Well at least he's indicated he's interested, as he's yet to make a post yet.
So that's it. Get your game on, ball up, pass the rock, let's get the ball rollin' and all that crap.
Okay?! Okay. Now back to work :P.
Yessir here's another basketball (and therefore OT post) - a sure enough sign I'll never be a problogger if I ever saw one. But then again, who cares really?
Ok so our record now is 1-1, I just came back from the gym an hour ago after our victory.
So our games have been pretty close. Yesterday we lost by five and today we won by four (I think). Funny how I almost never remember the margin whenever my teams win but when we lose, I have nightmares about the number of points we lost by, almost like it's chasing me around with a knife in my dreams (I'm serious).
Am taking a break from tech posts to talk about what's been keeping me really busy lately - which is coaching the Palmera Green Rams, one of four teams here in Palmera Heights composed of 14-18 year old boys (I've taken to referring to them as 'my boys' to my gf's consternation).
