24

24-1

The marketers stretched the value of Christmas day’s showdown of the Warriors and Cavs since the Warriors broke into the opening gates with a mean winning streak. The Warrior schedule looked promising since beating the Lakers for win #16. With a winning differential of some 14 points, Steph Curry scoring 40 at will, without playing in the fourth Q, the road to win #33 can’t seem to get fast enough. For some faux incentive, someone at marketing seem to have blurted out “Hey, Steph beating the LeBron can be for record game 33-0 if you add the dubs’ last 4 games of the 2014-2015 season!” and somebody concurred “Jason, you’re a genius! Hype up the gullible trolls of social media and let them feast on this meaningless debate”

Ad-Lib

I discovered the library when I was in 1st grade after the school asked us to contribute books to bulk up their shelves in a make-shift room. You’ll kind of have this inkling that this space is a temporary refuge for the titles because of the rough finish of the floors and the unpainted walls. The librarian tried to enliven things up with letter cut-outs from cardboard and colored paper, but you can’t help but feel that the 5 tier shelves were swallowed by all this grayness.

This blog is up for a year now. This started as a platform to write a tribute to Tita Vicky and her importance to my life and in how I process and adapt to my current situation. We are never perfect but it’s great to have someone who exemplify goodness, kindness and generosity.

As been said, she has always been

On The Mic 2

Dan Aubrey Aguilar, host — “Hey, look at me now!”

The PAGCOR gig is the second best job in the world. The best one is the one you dreamed of. Card Dealing, at best, affords you the things that a dream job can provide. I’m speaking not necessarily in terms of financial security but it buys you time. Time you can spend freely without the stress lurking at the back of your head thinking about deadlines or any of the dread from a typical nine-to-fiver.

Offense Will Win It This Year

Dan Aguilar, playoffs 2015 — This must be the west finals.

Steph Curry is the favorite for the MVP race, mainly on the basis that his performance translated into wins, most than any other team in the NBA this year. More importantly he has improved his performance from last year’s numbers, particularly the TurnOvers department resulting to where GSW landed on the road to the playoffs. Harden is able to showcase the peak of his individual talent, almost Kobe-esque. But those type of numbers no longer translate to championships and some voters are persuaded by the individual’s fighting chance to lead his team to the finals.

This is where LeBron comes in, whose consistency is as boring as the Spurs

Trust

I walk the stretch of Edsa extension from the corner Roxas Boulevard to MRT Taft at 10p.m. whenever I opt to leave my car and take the train instead. The sidewalk depicts the threat of decay Pasay City seems to suffer from within, similar to a shiny teeth enamel that is rotten from the inside.

It is not a secure walk and I’m pretty sure the city will use that fact that I, along with the daily mob who traverse this dirty street, walk there unharmed. The whole stretch is commercially developed but

Teaching Cinderella and Spider-Man

Perhaps the most difficult role a parent has to do is to create an elaborate tent of myth to sustain the growth of your children’s imagination. Sure, I’d want to tell my kids the truth and teach them the value of being true and sincere with whatever and whoever they choose to be. But handling the truth about Santa, princesses, and heroes require, you know, kids’ gloves. Are they gonna be better off if we let them crash into the ground until they learn the concept of balance or are they gonna learn better with training wheels? The answer is much much more complex and if it’s gonna be aided only by odds (something like 80% of kids without training wheels perform better…) and not by something absolute, then it means you’d have to find things out for yourself and hope that the result followed the trend.

A Prayer

A prayer is a form of a hopeful song sung to the universe. It means absolutely nothing to a disengaged listener. It doesn’t heal the sick, it doesn’t feed the needy, it does nothing without action. If you believe it will lead you to proseperity, you got the whole prayer figured wrong.

The Battles We Choose To Fight

Friday… Payday… Driving… Enduring a two-hour hell. Finding solace with the 80’s music spun by Boom Gonzales of Magic 89.9. There’s no need to check the social networks about how terrible this monstrous Manila madness is. I’m in it, part of it, seemingly woven into it. Maybe I’ll check

Love Triangle, Dan Aguilar — Love can be a heart shaped triangle…

Rated M for Mature

This is a story about a love triangle. I’m sorry the title don’t make sense but that’s because most love triangle stories don’t. If you’ve noticed the trend, most love triangles now consists of 2 females and a male. Even the last big hit about two males, one was just biologically male. The Ton Ton Gutierrez vs. Goma to win Sharon or Edu Manzano vs. Christopher de Leon to win Vilma is so 80s. (The 90s was about Robin Padilla blasting a syndicate to win a Sharon/Vina, or Andrew E. kissing all the girls you can only fantasize about. Although on 90s TV, there always seem to be two guys fighting over Thalia.)

So back to my observation about the male centric triangle… Why?
