My thoughts on the Carlocab issue..

I found this interesting post on the Carlocab issue. I agree on the stand of the Connie regarding the criticisms made by Mr. Dela Serna, Noemi and all of their cohorts. The problem of those detractors is that they are afraid of the other bloggers. They only want those in their "circle" to be famous. They want to be the ones setting standards. It has been proven through time that these so called "bloggers" would not accept anything if it does not meet their standards. They are afraid to accept changes because "mapagiiwanan na sila". WHO ARE YOU TO SET THOSE STANDARDS?! Haha they said "acceptability"? What acceptability? Are they the rulers of Filipino bloggers? Since when did the elections happen?

I totally agree with what Connie said here:

"The truth is, the “disclosure policy” bit is a standard created by these PR bloggers. It is a self-serving standard, if there ever was one, because it was fashioned to justify these bloggers’ actions and manner of blogging. They will not accept lower standards so that they can feel superior BUT they will not accept higher standards too because that will make them look like leeches and mercenaries."

If Carlocab is indeed being coached by his father, so what?

Why is there a need to scrutinize the way other people blog? If I were to scrutinize the way you guys blog, I would SURELY find things to criticize. Like... Never mind.

One problem that I see with "this" group of bloggers is that they have crab mentality. Masakit mang sabihin pero parang mga utak talangka sila. Puwede na ring "inggitero". Yun lang yung nakikita ko. They might as well create an association of Filipino bloggers and I have a perfect name for it. Talangka Bloggers Association (TABA).

Maybe criticizing other people is their hobby.

I don't know..

P.S. I like this one:

"I know that you will keep coming back for as I long as I respond. You will never let it happen that you did not post the FINAL comment. As though that gives you the final word. So, I’m closing the thread."

Wahahahahahaha! Agree! Agree! Agree!

Criticize me if you want! I'm OPEN MINDED.

I'm out like Boom Boom Bautista.

Ateneo "finally" wins over De La Salle

Finally! After 3 long years! One Big Fight!

From the Manila Bulletin:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ateneo wins Blue Eagles upset Archers, 80-77

By NICK GIONGCO

IN A game that had all the trappings of the classic "Thrilla in Manila" 32 years ago, Ateneo edged bitter rival La Salle, 80-77, in overtime yesterday in the 70th UAAP basketball tournament.

Playing before an overflow crowd at the Araneta Coliseum, site of the memorable title fight between boxing legends Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, the Eagles delivered the final blows that sent the Archers reeling to their second straight defeat.

Chris Tiu, the Eagles’ main man, buried a three-point shot from the left side that gave Ateneo a 78-74 lead with 21 seconds remaining. His twin charities off Tyrone Tang’s fifth and final foul iced the victory for the Eagles.

It was a sorry loss for the Archers who had the chance to win the game in regulation, but failed to put up a decent shot in the last 13 seconds.

A pint-sized playmaker cum scorer with deep basketball roots stood out among Ateneo’s stars scoring 18 points, most of them coming at the height of the struggle between the two squads.

Jai Reyes, a nephew of national team coach Chot and former pro Gilbert, ran rings around the La Salle defenders, making running jumpers with relative ease.

Ateneo coach Norman Black was ecstatic.

"It feels good and we just like to dedicate this one to the school, to all the supporters because they’ve really been behind us the last two times we played La Salle, we did not play very well," said Black.

"The guys today had a lot of hunger and desire to win and we did a good job rebounding and we had an inside game and our perimeter shooters hit their shots," added Black, who finally tasted a win over La Salle as coach.

The Eagles erected a 58-51 advantage with 4:11 left on a triple by the 19-year- old Reyes.

But JV Casio caught fire and single-handedly brought La Salle back into contention.

CONGRATULATIONS BLUE EAGLES!! Go Ateneo!
