Yeap. NBA Live 09 Global Cover Athlete is San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker. NBA Live 09 is set to be released on October 7, 2008 in the U.S.A. Hopefully this will be available in our country by the end of October.
The game has a lot of new features such as the NBA Academy. It also has player control moves such as the Pick and Roll control, Signature playcalling, quickstrike anklebreakers, and the lockdown control. Those moves would mean better gameplay for this series. EA was also granted rights to 24 National FIBA teams this year after FIBA World Championship debuted with 8 teams for NBA Live 08. The biggest surprise for this NBA Live installment is thought to be the Pro Mode. I'm not yet sure what it means and what it does.
I'm really looking forward to play this game.
It's time to rest some of the starters for my team except Lamar Odom to keep the intensity on his knees. Boston also did the same with KG and Pierce. Boston offense is all Ray Allen basketball. 12 points for him in this quarter alone making his points total to 22 at the end of the half. Boston lead went up to 12 points until I let Kobe in before the last two minutes of the first half and luckily, his offense was well flowing ending the half to a tie ballgame.
3rd Quarter
This is more playing time for my 1-2 punch of Kobe and Pau and a deadly match-up against the Big 3 of Boston. Both KG and Pau is making their presence felt on this quarter exchanging baskets from one side to the other. One thing noticeable here is the offensive absence of Paul Pierce. KG obviously dominated this quarter as well as Ray Allen but Paul Pierce only has 4 points after 3 quarters. On the Lakers side, bench scoring kept them in the game. Kobe and Pau has a combined 24 points after three Q's. I expected a brawl in the final Q.
4th Quarter
Allen and KG continued their offensive dominance. Celtics led by as many as 12 points in the final two minutes. Farmar started this quarter for L.A. to let D-Fish rest for the first few minutes. I let Kobe dictate the Lakers offense this time and cut down the lead to only 7 heading into the final minute of the ballgame.
Celtics up 76-69 and with 1 minute left in the final quarter. Boston Fans already rejoicing until I let all my starters on the floor. Kobe scored on a jumper cuttind down the lead by 5 and a steal by Fisher lets Kobe got open in transition which scored a basket and draws a foul to cut the lead by only 3 and hits the charity basket to cut the lead by only 2. It's 76-74 Celtics lead heading into the final 40 seconds.
There is still no need to foul this time. I let the team played a Half Court press and a 1-3-1 Zone to put pressure on the Celtics Basketball. They let Rajon Rondo man the PG position so I knew that the ball wouldn't stay in his hand for long. My clairvoyance was right as he passed it immediately to R.A who was well guarded by My Black Mamba KB24 which led to an Allen missed jumper and a Gasol rebound and transition offense for the Lakers. I did not call a timeout and instead let Kobe bring down the ball to the other side and attempts a penetration which makes the Celtics defense played double team on Kobe which led to a Derek Fisher open in the sideline 3-point area. Kobe passed the ball to Fish and well, the veteran point guard hits the 3-ball putting the team up 79-78 with 20 seconds remaining. Celtics still has a chance to tie or win the ballgame but Allen missed a jumper which led to Boston giving an intentional foul. Lakers Win this game 81-78.
This would be my first post about my not-so-recent vacation in BAAO and I'll be blogging about my observations about politics in the area and what could possibly happen in 2010.
I'm not a political analyst or even someone who holds a degree about the topic but I just noticed that everytime I go back to my hometown, people there seems to be always interested in this subject as part of their chismisan that even those "parapapadyak" could give you first hand info's regarding what's-hot-what's-not in the place.
Let's get to the topic now. The not-so-newly elected mayor is I guess doing his thing. His style and his rules. He demolished the CHICKEN STATUE along Diversion Road( I was irritated with that chicken actually when it was there). He romoved all signages with reference to the former mayor in public places like the waiting shed at the PUBLIC MARKET and put his BIG name on it. I even had a close encounter with him during the KAOGMA festival when AKINA represented our town in that singing competition because gladly, the local governement assisted us during the competition at the last minute. Better late to help than never. But, with VOUCHER of course. I guess you know what I mean. He was indeed a jolly person. He was jumping and jumping as soon as my auntie won the event. Maybe those news I've heard about him in the past were really true that only his sons were the headache in the town. A la ERAP. My MOM had a chance to talk with him and my mom said that all throughout their conversation, the MAYOR was actually fuming about all those corruptions allegedly done by the former Mayor that he even had the office to be renovated and repainted because all left of him in the office were old and disfunctional tables and chairs.My mom just replied that he should get used to POLITICS and its system.
Im not yet done with him. BUT....
One thing I've noticed about the place is the ASPHALT OVERLAY PROJECT they did along the NATIONAL HIGHWAY extending thru IRIGA, NABUA, and BAAO which is really a positive development in the place. The whole PROJECT was made possible thru the efforts of the 3rd district representative, the FORMER MAYOR and the INCUMBENT VICE MAYOR. Yeap, you've heard it right. The former mayor and incumbent vice mayor who once slugged it out during the 2007 elections for the vice mayoralty post were now good allies. Actually, of the 8 Municipal councilors of Baao, only two of them remained as ally of our incumbent mayor. The rest were on the other side of the fence including the Vice Mayor as I've said earlier. hmmm.. I love that picture I have posted above. Perfect for this topic isn't it?
But that is politics I believe. Today you're on one side where you can harvest those fruits but the next morning you might be on the other side of the fence to harvest more fruits. I already doubted their loyalty in the first place. I knew even before the election that they would split up sooner or later because of conflict of interest. The vice mayor could be eyeing the top spot anytime and one of the municipal councilor is also a former mayor who might as well be interested for a better pasture. As a matter of fact, people knew all throughout the election CAMPAIGN that the ONLY reason they SIDED with the incumbent Mayor today is because they lack CAMPAIGN Funds. they were all after the money. Even one big reason why the Mayor won the election was still about money I have nothing against the former mayor in fact I've worked for him during the election and the batch supported their ticket but maybe this time he should be more careful choosing friends and allies like what I will tell you in this next blind item.
OK so here's the cream of the crop.
My mom asked me to meet one of the staff at the Mayor's office one afternoon to follow-up the requirements for the singing competition which would be submitted to the PROVINCIAL gov't. the following day. I did not find the person I was looking for but I guess it's the secretary who gladly referred me to one of the SUPERVISOR regarding CULTURAL CHUVA EKK EKK of our town. I don't know the exact position so forgive me for the term. I was thinking of one peroson who could possibly be that SUPERVISOR and I was never wrong. It was him. Well, his resume would surely make him qualified for that job being a former band trainor in the public high school and a former topnotcher councilor of BAAO but there is one thing wrong on his track record. I'm not sure of the exact year when this controversy happened but I guess it was 2005. After winning the top spot as councilor of BAAO, this man was surely enjoying the limelight given to him as a top caliber personality in the town being a councilor. Everybody knows him. He was probably the most popular ally of the former MAYOR when he ran alongside in that ticket. He earned respect. He deserved everything until....
One day, while the mayor was out for a official trip, a CONTRACT/PROJECT involving A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY to be withdrawn from the PUBLIC FUNDS needs to be signed by the MAYOR. I guess he served as a CHAIRMAN in one of those committees regarding the project so he has first hand involvement with this. Since the mayor was not in office, what this RETARD did was FORGE the signature of the MAYOR and then afterwards, withdraw the money because he was thinking he has legal documents. What he did not know was the news spread until the Mayor knew of this thing already and the whole EMPLOYEES of the MUNISIPYO were aware of his CONTROVERSY.
This is an obvious form of CORRUPTION and CRIME. You never forge a signature in a legal document involving COLD CASH; PUBLIC FUNDS unless you want to go to MANDALUYONG and have yourself CONFINED there for the rest of your life. After the whole story broke out into the public scene, and after his family were humiliated because of what happened, I guess he quit his JOB(forgive me here but i'm not sure) as councilor. Other speculated he just made a LEAVE OF ABSENCE and otherspeculations also was that he returned the money. And as soon as the new mayor was inducted into office, he was once again showed his face to the public and and is now currently working as that SUPERVISOR. Which is I think ridiculous. you know what I mean. The fucking retard has history of corruption and dishonesty working as a public servant and then what, you're gonna hire/appoint him with a new job as a public servant AGAIN? That is FUCKING A isn't it?
(you want clue right? GOOGLE the retard. Keywords? dog_garfield + president_malacanang)
If ever he's making a comeback career in politics, then I believe it would reaLLY be a battle of retards in the 2010 elections with lots of RABBITS hopping from one place to another.
Anyways, that would be it for now. These are all my PERSONAL OPINIONS. IF you don't like it, then fine with me.
I will leave you with this quotation: "The Truth Will Set You Free; but First, It Will Piss You Off.
PIERCE plays the hero; but ref's made CELT's win Game 1
C'mon ref:
You're not officiating the PBL.
It's the Finals. Let the players play basketball.
A lot of FLOPPING in Game 1.
NBA.
Where STUPID OFFICIATING happens.
The Lakers got back into the FINALS by cutting down the CHAMPS in 5 games.
BOSTON made it to the PROMISED LAND once again after two decades by disposing the DETROIT PISTONS in 6 tiring games.
But all the hardwork for both teams are all worth it.
It's the MATCH-UP all have been waiting for.
My FINALS PREDICTION:
SHOWTIME LAKERS in 6
So check out my new toy:
From: WWW.INQUIRER.NET
A DAUGHTER'S LAMENT. "He should have not been tortured and jailed," laments Ofelia Beltran-Balleta following the death of her father, Anakpawis Representative Crispin Beltran Tuesday. Balleta blamed the government for her father's state of health. Beltran fell from the rooftop of his home in Bulacan and suffered several cardiac arrests when doctors tried to treat him. However, the lawmaker died from the head injuries he sustained as a result of the fall.

-dude, huwag mong isisi sa GOBYERNO ang pagkakamatay ng TATAY mo dahil hindi naman siguro siya TINULAK ni GLORIA o ni ESPERON o ni PALPARAN para bumagsak siya galing sa BUBONG ng BAHAY niyo. Huwag ng puro dakdak. May dahilan kung bakit namamatay ang tao. Sa kaso ng tatay mo, ORAS na niya. Isipin mo na lang na napasama lang ang tatay mo sa LIBU-LIBONG tao tulad ng MILTAR na pinapatay ng mga walang awang NPA ng wala man lang kalaban-laban at kung minsan ay sa mismong bahay pa nila pinapatay kasama ang pamilya nila. O pwede mo ring isipin na kayo ang NPA at minsan ay nakakapatay rin kayo. Ooppss... hindi niyo na nga pala kailangan isipin iyon dahil kakampi niyo na nga naman pala sila. Iyon nga pala ang LIFESTYLE niyo db? Isipin mo na lang na karamay mo ang mga pamilya ng mga sundalong nawalan din ng AMA at HALIGI ng TAHANAN dahil sa paghahangad ng KAPAYAPAAN at hindi ng pansarili o pang-CPP na interes lamang.
Isa pa, mga magandang alaala ng TATAY mo ang dapat mong isaisip ngayon tulad ng iniisip ng maraming taong nakakaalala sa mga nagawang kabutihan ng tatay mo. Isipin mo na lang din na naging ROBIN HOOD ang tatay mo minsan sa BUHAY niya. Nangolekta ng REVOLUTIONARY TAX ang grupo niya at pinapamigay daw sa MAHIHIRAP. Etchos! O biruin mo, nagkandahirap-hirap ang mga NEGOSYANTE para kumita ng PERA tapos i-EEXTORT lang ng GRUPO niyo para lang kayo ang MABUHAY at kumain ng tatlong beses sa isang araw habang nagtatago kayo sa BUNDOK. Napakaganda nga namang ehemplo iyon ng isang "LABOR GROUP" di ba?
At sa pagkamatay ng tatay mo ay sana'y bigyan mo siya ng katahimikan at hintayin na lang si JOMA dahil on the way na rin siya. Dahil baka naman ang PAGKAKAHULOG niya mula sa HAGDAN ng BAHAY ninyo ay SABIHIN mo pang naging BIKTIMA rin ng EXTRA-JUDICIAL KILLING ang tatay mo. Buti pa nga pala ang mga NPA na pinapatay ay may BANSAG pala na "BIKTIMA ng EXTRA-JUDICIAL KILLING" pero iyong mga SUNDALO eh kapag namatay ay "CASUALTY" lang ang alam na BIGKASIN para sa KANILA ni KORINA SANCHEZ.
"Kung nakagawa ka ng puro kabutihan habang nabubuhay ka ay kabutihan rin ang maa-alala sa iyo ng tao sa iyong paghimlay... ngunit kapag nadungisan ang pagkatao mo dahil nabuhay kang nanlalamang ng kapwa mo ay asahan mo rin na ito ang alalang babaunin ng tao sa iyong paghimlay

"I'm going home... to a place where I belong..."
Yeah right, just earlier, I decided to go back home. Things are a little shaky here in Manila so maybe I need a breather back to the place I have always loved. I have nothing to do here in Manila anyways.
I've updated some stuffs in my blog since it's my birthday about two weeks from now.I changed the title to dodge & burn. I'll tell you more about the changes in my next entries.
I wish I could get back again here in Manila before my birthday. I wanted to celebrate it here.
