Nangyari ang pinapangako niya na pagdating dito ay kikitain nya kami ni Ayes. Ang sabi pa nga niya dati ice cream lang daw, pero higit pa sa inaasahan naming dalawa ang nangyari. Lunch date sa hotel restaurant na tinutuluyan niya kami inimbita para kumain, at isinama namin si Jaymie and Roxanne. Gustuhin man namin ni Ayes isama ang iba pang kakakilala lang namin na gusto din si Marie ay di puwede dahil Nung panahon na iyon ay dalawa lang ang puwede naming isama. Paglipas ng panahon ay parami ng parami ang kaibigan namin na humahanga din kay Marie, nabuo ang digybholics. Last year 2011 ay halos nandito siya, nangyari ang advance bday celebration niya, ang flores de mayo, naki celebrate din siya sa amin ng dhph anniversary, mall tours, happy lemon at ang DH YACHT PARTY.. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://coldsouljeff.blogspot.com/2009/08/dream-come-true-meeting-marie-digby.html"> Meeting Marie Digby for the 1st time </a><-click here<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yO7En2gSeag/UA3z7Qw3NYI/AAAAAAAABDM/S-jGCh0mvf0/s1600/5613_1132175036088_2823341_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="294" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yO7En2gSeag/UA3z7Qw3NYI/AAAAAAAABDM/S-jGCh0mvf0/s400/5613_1132175036088_2823341_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The 1st ever, exclusive Marié Digby lunch date.

Kakantahin nya kasi ung song na 3am na isinulat naman ni Keiko Necessario. July 15 kasama pa ang ilang digbyholics na sila (Tere, Jude, Mike, Chelly, Rox, Kara, Jown, Steph, Gretch, Ayes at ako). Sa Resorts world nangyari ang hindi inaasahang Lunch date with her. Sa New Orleans resto kami kumain, at pagdating ni Marie ay siya lang mag-isa. Nakakapag taka kasi lagi siyang may kasama dati. Doon namin binigay ang Photo book na pinagawa ni Jude, pinakain din namin siya ng Jollibee Spaghetti at pinapanood ng random dh videos, Say it again drunk version. Ang akala namin matagal na ang dalawang oras na maukakasama namin siya, pero humigit pa dun!. Limang oras namin siyang naka kwentuhan at kulitan. After namin sa New Orleans ay nag aya naman siya magkape sa UCC. Ang hindi ko malilimutan dun eh ung binayaran nya ang bill namin sa UCC, kami dapat magbabayad kaso hindi na naka porma si Jown. Natakot yata kay Marie.

It connects me to the positive world when I feel lost, upset and other negative aspects that messing up my mind.

The island does not contain any shops, resorts, acommodations, its just you and the island. It is suited for the people who loves adventures and camping. I hope it will stay this way and hope they don't put any establishments here so the island will remain its natural beauty.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Island is located in the Province of Zambales and 4 kilometers from the seaside of Pundaquit. In Pundaquit you can negotiate with a boatman to take you out to Anawangin, Capones Island and Camera Island. It depends on your negotiating skills so you could get a cheap fare. For us, we had our suki boatman, we paid him two thousand (8persons) back and fourth.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Boat trip to the islands would takes about thirty minutes going to Capones, Camera Island and one hour going to Anawangin. Brace yourself for wild and wet adventure!.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Staying overnight on Capones Island, you'll be needing to take your things with you like food, tents, water and other basic needs.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Lighthouse</b></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Xrm1lfb2Doo/T3ueAYgZ2-I/AAAAAAAABCk/zPMl-2c9x0w/s1600/547971_3352717508262_1578641603_2653147_131720789_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Xrm1lfb2Doo/T3ueAYgZ2-I/AAAAAAAABCk/zPMl-2c9x0w/s320/547971_3352717508262_1578641603_2653147_131720789_n.jpg" width="214" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">From our campsite, in order to reach the Lighthouse you should pass the Four Levels of trials before reaching to the top!. I suggest you wake up early cause in this time the tide is very low. For us we manage to wake up early and leave the lighthouse soon so we can avoid the high tide and the too much heat by the Sun. I know it is a bit of a hike from the beach, but man it is totally worth it..

San Antonio is roughly an hour out of Subic Bay.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">From San Antonio you will need to get to the coastal village of Pundaquit, which in direction is south west of San Antonio and a bit under 5km. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you are catching a bus from Manila, you catch the one that goes to Iba in Zambales, just make sure you get off at San Antonio.

Pagdating sa media contacts ay hinanap ko si Angelica at binigay sa akin ang LOWER BOX two complimentary tickets!, worth 5000+<br />isa nun sa ticketnet!. Nung nalaman ko presyo, sabi ko sa isip ko "Thanks God" at ako naisip ni Ayes na isama. :). Alam din kasi ni Ayes na favorite ko si Avril Lavigne. :)<br /><br />Ala sais ng hapon kami nagkita sa Gateway, at ibinalita kaagad niya sa akin na pumasa siya sa nursing board exam!.

Hehe.. Bumibili sila ng ilang memorabilya ni Avril at ako naman ay bumili ng concert dvd. Nag ask ako, wala bang kasamang poster ito? tapos hinihingi ko sa ale ung poster, sabi naman niya sige ibibigay ko sayo pagkatapos ng concert. ;)<br />Pagpasok namin sa LOWER BOX masasabi kong yun ang pinaka the best area of seats na pede ka manood. Hindi malapit at hindi rin gaanong malayo.<br /><br />Naunang kumanta ang opening act na SOMEDAY DREAM pagkatapos ay si AVRIL LAVIGNE NA!.<br />Kinilabutan ako sa hiyawan, sigawan ng mga tao habang palabas siya ng entablado.

Unfortunately this is a tethered jailbreak you will have to connect your iPhone, iPod or iPad to your computer when the device reboots due to low battery or other factors. No worries, I’m sure iPhone Dev Team is working on iOS to release its untethered jailbreak version. Now, first of all I have to remind you all iOS device holders that this redsn0w jailbreak works on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 CDMA & GSM, iPod touch 3rd & 4th gen, and iPad 1 which means that redsn0w can be runned on devices with A4 processors. If you have iPhone 4S or iPad 2, devices with A5 processors, this ios 5 jailbreak wor’t work, so don’t waste your time trying to install iOS 5 jailbreak on these Apple devices and wait until holy iPhone Dev Team solves the puzzle of A5 processors.

Well It's not true! </span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why? - Because Facebook makes its money bringing together as big of an audience as possible and then selling that audience's attention to advertisers. It's a business that works for them.</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">According to the article that I read on CNN </span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you go to Facebook.com and search for the terms "Facebook free" or "Facebook charge," you'll find hundreds of groups with names like, "If 1 Million People Join Before 9th July 2010 Facebook Will Stay Free!" or "If Facebook Charges A Fee We Will Discontinue Using It." Some of these groups have dozens of users, others have thousands.</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">During a recent press conference, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said while Facebook users do care about privacy, the question of whether or not Facebook will eventually charge for its service is actually a much bigger concern among the site's 500 million users.</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But are these fears justified?</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No! Facebook will never charge you to be a member and use the site.</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Don't take it from me. Here's Facebook spokesman Larry Yu on the issue:</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"We have absolutely no plans to charge for the basic service of using Facebook."</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He continues : "Last year we saw a similar rumor circulating that Facebook was going to begin charging $1.99 to use the site, but this year we're hearing that fee increased to $14.99 with the spread of this rumor. We look forward to hearing what Facebook might be rumored to cost for use next year."</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you press Facebook employees on this, they will tell you the reason they will never charge for access is that putting up a paywall runs counter to the company's mission to make the world more open and connected.</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But even if you don't buy that idealistic hoopla, you should understand Facebook has a deep profit motive to never charge you for access.</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So while Facebook may charge you for certain bonus features, such as gifts for your friends, or credits to play games like Farmville, it will never charge for basic access to the site.</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why then do people worry Facebook might start charging soon? Probably because Facebook users feel like they're getting something valuable for free, and everybody knows there's no such thing as a free lunch.</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just remember: The fact that you keep coming back to Facebook makes it easier for Facebook to sell more ads -- and make more money.</span></span><br /><div style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Related articles: http://articles.cnn.com/2010-06-18/tech/no.facebook.charge_1_facebook-users-facebook-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-free-lunch?_s=PM%3ATECH</span></span></div><div style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"><br /></div>jeffnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127144864951118451.post-17053101396935329122011-09-23T08:29:00.002+08:002011-09-23T08:47:27.731+08:00Introducing FB Timeline<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Tell your life story with a new kind of profile</span><br /><div>You heard it right folks, Facebook is not yet finish doing major change of innovation.

It is of synthetic origin, belonging to Piperazine. Buclizine is mainly used for anti-emetic action, particularly in prevention of motion sickness. It is also used in combination with analgesics to treat migraine attacks. As an appetite stimulant, it is compared to cyproheptadine- an appetite stimulant banned in UK.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Unlike cyproheptadine, buclizine increases both appetite and absorption of food in the body. It doesn’t affect the growth hormone levels. Cyproheptadine increases appetite by inhibiting growth hormone. Therefore, cyproheptadine is not good for the growth in children. More to this, buclizine is better than cyproheptadine because it can maintain weight gain even after the discontinuation of treatment.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't want to get sick anymore and get admitted.

The notion that, to be fit and healthy you need to eat good food that is full of nutrients. Remember the lesson you had on your school days?, the<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"> GO, GLOW and GROW foods</span>? . You should start to review that.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Physically active</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">¤Last year I started making a ran twice a month. I also have this basketball game with my officemates once a week. As far as you can imagine, I am physically active last year it keeps my body moving and healthy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Unfortunately this year, it was a complete turn down for me. The only exercise I did is walking everyday going to office, fingers tap at my computer's keyboard for almost seven months. I convince myself that I was "too busy" but in reality I can make a time for it if I want to. I get physically lazy this year.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9nlijFtqkVg/TjjVIkV0QkI/AAAAAAAAA_Y/w4Yg92ovt_U/s1600/benefits-of-drinking-water-001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9nlijFtqkVg/TjjVIkV0QkI/AAAAAAAAA_Y/w4Yg92ovt_U/s200/benefits-of-drinking-water-001.jpg" width="127" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Drinking water</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">¤When I was admitted, most of my wardmates advice is to drink a lots! yeah a lots of water!. Don't you know that 75% of your body is water and 90% of your brain. But doesn't that tell you something? Keep a glass of water handy, there's nothing that can replace it. I used to drink coke more often, but because of what happened to me I begun to train myself drinking 8 -10 glasses a day. Drinking water is so important that you must add this to achieve your goal of a healthy body.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This one point cannot be emphasized enough - <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan;">if you wait until you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated and this is affecting your cells</span>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's been said that your sense of thirst decreases as you get older: it's probably true but not just because you're older.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This only happens if you tend to ignore your body. Your need for water certainly does not decrease.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Water is essential to all the vital functions of your body.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1.

Regular hydration will boost your energy levels</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. It will also boost your immune system and mental sharpness.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. You need water to speed up recovery from injuries.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. Cleansing and detoxing absolutely requires water. Don't spend money on colon cleansers or any other detoxing system and then neglect drinking lots of water. You may be doing more harm than good.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6.

Different species of bacteria can cause gastroenteritis, including Salmonella, Shigella, Staphylococcus, Campylobacter jejuni, Clostridium, Escherichia coli, Yersinia, Vibrio cholerae, and others. Some sources of the infection are improperly prepared food, reheated meat dishes, seafood, dairy, and bakery products. Each organism causes slightly different symptoms but all result in diarrhea. Colitis, inflammation of the large intestine, may also be present.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Risk factors include consumption of improperly prepared foods or contaminated water and travel or residence in areas of poor sanitation.

That translates to P16,888,000 per player, based on the current exchange rate of P42.22 to the dollar.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">That is hardly chump change, especially if ranged against the maximum monthly take-home pay of P350,000 by PBA stars who battled Bryant and Co. last Saturday.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">In the SI.Com story, Amick said: "Don’t let this news take you over as some sort of greedy run.

It was rumored that Kobe Bryant’s camp initially asked for an appearance fee of $1.2 Million aside from a private jet fetching him and an entourage of seven in Shanghai and flying him back to keep his promise to his wife and two daughters to be in the Los Angeles airport by Monday morning for a family vacation in Mexico. Bryant reportedly settled for an amount less than half of what was previously asked because of his affection for his Filipino fans.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Topping the event is a challenge for the MVP Sports Foundation. The Ultimate All-Star Weekend had to be the most significant sporting event that the Big Dome has hosted since the Thrilla in Manila in 1975. Pangilinan said what could be bigger would be the showdown between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Pacquiao was at the coliseum for the game last Sunday and Pangilinan broached the idea to the world’s No. 1 pound-for-pound champion. “I mentioned to Manny about the possibility of fighting in Manila,” said Pangilinan. “It seemed okay to him. Now the problem is getting Mayweather to agree. I think arranging the pay-per-view satellite feed wouldn’t be difficult with our telecommunications facilities.”</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">The Thrilla In Manila was staged late morning in Manila for live beaming to the US on prime time at night. The same set-up could be arranged for a Pacquiao fight.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Pangilinan said another possibility is to bring over the Real Madrid football and basketball teams for a tour. MVP Sports Foundation executive director and Talk ‘N’ Text coach Chot Reyes said the Ultimate All-Star Weekend has put the Philippines on the map as a sports tourism destination. “Dwyane Wade tweeted his buddy Chris Paul and mentioned he would’ve loved to come,” said Reyes. “There was extensive foreign media coverage so the whole world knew about the Ultimate All-Star Weekend. From Manila, Chris flew to Hong Kong and will hook up with Wade and Melo (Anthony) on the Jordan Flight Tour.”</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Paul, Wade and Anthony are Jordan brand endorsers. Their four-city China tour officially begins today in Hong Kong and will move to Chengdu, Hangzhou and Beijing up to Aug. 3.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Reyes said top US athletic agents Aaron Goodwin and Rob Pelinka were in town for the games. Goodwin represents Kevin Durant, Jamal Crawford, Candace Parker, Matt Barnes, Nate Robinson, Chris Webber and Gary Payton, among others while Pelinka works with Bryant, Derek Fisher, Derrick Williams and James Harden – all of whom participated in the Ultimate All-Star Weekend. Others in Pelinka’s stable are Corey Maggette, Carlos Boozer, Andre Igoudala, Chris Kaman, Channing Frye, Eric Gordon, Gerald Wallace and Sasha Vujacic. Derrick Rose’s agent B. J. Armstrong, a former NBA sharpshooter, was also in Manila last weekend.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Igoudala was initially considered for the Manila tour. Rose and Durant were late additions to the lineup. They came to terms only after Bryant signed up.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Four of the visitors left Sunday evening – Bryant, Fisher, Rose and Paul. Fisher had to return to the US for talks on a new collective bargaining agreement with the NBA as president of the National Basketball Players Association. Harden, Durant, JaVale McGee and Williams flew out yesterday. Tyreke Evans is scheduled to depart Thursday after a holiday in Boracay.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Chao Chuatico-Espaldon, chief operating officer of the Cincinnati-based investment and financial advisory company East-West Private, joked that she’ll need a vacation after organizing the event on two to three weeks’ notice. “I’m glad no one saw the crazy things that went on behind the scenes,” chuckled Espaldon referring to the logistical nightmare of staging the event involving high-profile athletes. East-West Private negotiated the packages that brought the players to Manila. East-West Private chief executive officer Patty Scott was in town for the games and left Sunday. “A Michael Jordan tour?” said Espaldon. “Yeah, why not?”</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Source: Joaquin Henson, <a href="http://www.philstar.com/thedeanscorner/articlescontent.aspx?articleid=710046&publicationsubcategoryid=69" rel="nofollow" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">The Philippine Star</a></strong></span></span>jeffnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127144864951118451.post-29861977473415393112011-07-25T10:27:00.001+08:002011-07-25T10:28:23.823+08:00SMART-Gilas gives Kobe and co. a good workout<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Kt4AAiRGCgs/TizUZI3ak-I/AAAAAAAAA-o/kzjjOUtwy2o/s1600/7tTW.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="275" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Kt4AAiRGCgs/TizUZI3ak-I/AAAAAAAAA-o/kzjjOUtwy2o/s400/7tTW.png" width="400" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc; font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Compared to the PBA selection, the SMART-Gilas Pilipinas national team was expected to be more competitive against Kobe Bryant and his band of basketball superstars. That proved to be true, although the Philippine team still fell short against the SMART All-Stars, 98-89.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />The nationals started off very gamely, with forward Japeth Aguilar finishing with a thunderous jam early in the 1st quarter. They would stick close for most of the period, before the NBA players closed off the first quarter with a 6-0 run to break the game wide open, 28-16.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />The SMART All-Stars would lead by as much 21 points in the game, as they were able to get into transition often in the 3rd quarter. However, their chase for the highlight plays that the fans asked for proved to be the cause for a small collapse, allowing SMART-Gilas to get as close as eight points, 92-84, with 2:30 to go in the game.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Despite SMART-Gilas coach Rajko Toroman’s assertions that they wanted to win, he waved the proverbial white flag soon after that as he pulled Marcus Douthit from the game in favor of rarely-used Jason Ballesteros in the closing minutes. The naturalized center had energized the team in the fourth quarter with several big plays, including a huge putback dunk off of a missed Marcio Lassiter three-pointer.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />The game was considerably chippier than the SMART All-Stars matchup with the PBA selection on Saturday night, with SMART-Gilas committing several hard fouls on their American guests.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />NBA scoring champion Kevin Durant, in particular, was introduced to the hard hits of veteran Asi Taulava and looked visibly frustrated for the first time in the two games. Dondon Hontiveros also played Bryant physically in the fourth quarter, although the SMART All-Stars playing coach seemed to take it in stride, flashing a good-natured smile afterwards.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />But the game was not without its lighter moments, as the NBA stars obviously wanted to please the crowd. Egged on by the enthusiastic crowd after the ball was stuck between the backboard and the shot clock, JaVale McGee attempted to tip it off himself instead of waiting for the arena staff to poke it off with a stick.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />As awestruck as the Filipino fans were of their NBA idols, they went completely bonkers when pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao made his entrance early in the fourth quarter. He would visit the NBA stars during a timeout and spent time conversing with Bryant and the rest of the team before play resumed.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />When asked how many rounds he could go with Pacquiao, Paul answered, “15 seconds?”<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />The crowd was only too happy to respond, raining down cheers of “C-P-3! C-P-3!” for the New Orleans guard. Chicago Bulls superstar Derrick Rose received similar treatment as the crowd chanted “M-V-P! M-V-P!” as he took a pair of free throws in the fourth quarter, but he disappointed his fans by missing both shots. But the loudest cheers — at least for basketball players — were reserved for Bryant himself, as the crowd pleaded for him to put himself back into the game.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />The oddest chant, though, occurred with four minutes to go in the game and the All-Stars leading 90-80. Perhaps praying for a miracle upset, the crowd erupted into familiar chants of “defense” as they cheered the effort of the hard-charging home team.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />There were also a lot of dunks, on both sides. Douthit, Aguilar and Kelly Williams all showed off their athleticism for SMART-Gilas as did Tyreke Evans, James Harden and the rest of the SMART-All-Stars.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />McGee, who scored 25 points against the undersized PBA selection the night before, was held to just 16, including just three in the first half as he was defended by the 6-11 Douthit. Bryant and Durant combined to score 21 points in the first half, when they pulled away from their local counterparts.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Jayvee Casio scored 16 points for SMART-Gilas, Douthit scored 14 points and Chris Lutz added 12. Hontiveros hit three shots from beyond the arc and finished with 11 of his own. He would later have the privilege of receiving Bryant’s jersey as he made an exchange with the NBA superstar.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Source: Mikkel Bolante, <a href="http://www.interaksyon.com/interaktv/smart-gilas-gives-kobe-and-co-a-good-workout" rel="nofollow" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">InterAKTV</a></strong></span></span>jeffnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127144864951118451.post-87735309216475790222011-07-24T06:57:00.001+08:002011-07-24T06:57:49.749+08:00Kobe, McGee, Durant star in SMART All-Stars dunkfest over PBA selection<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NREtSwwgeWI/TitRwWOmIOI/AAAAAAAAA-k/H79fPWexcmk/s1600/7ref.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee;"><img border="0" height="285" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NREtSwwgeWI/TitRwWOmIOI/AAAAAAAAA-k/H79fPWexcmk/s400/7ref.png" width="400" /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">The SMART All-Stars led by Kobe Bryant, Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant and Chris Paul romped to a 131-105 win over a selection of Philippine basketball players on Saturday night at the SMART-Araneta Coliseum. But despite the lopsided scores, everyone in the venue – including the NBA superstars’ victims – went home happy after the game highlighted by thunderous dunks and above-the-rim action.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">Washington center JaVale McGee stole the show from his more heralded teammates, scoring 25 points and leading the stunning display of aerial artistry. Durant added 22 points off vicious dunks and trademark fade-away long bombs.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">But the biggest cheers in the arena were reserved for Bryant, the SMART-All Stars’ playing coach. The Lakers’ superstar, who did not play in the fourth quarter when the game had already been decided, was serenaded by chants by the Filipino crowd egging him to put himself back in the game.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">Bryant ended with only 12 points, which might as well have been the loudest 12 points in the history of the game. The 32-year-old guard turned back time, throwing down three sensational alley-oop slams as if he were still a hotshot 18-year-old rookie, including a reverse dunk off a Chris Paul pass off the backboard in the second quarter.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">It was one of many highlights of the night for Filipino fans, who packed the coliseum to the rafters and went bonkers after every dunk from their NBA idols, which also included James Harden, Tyreke Evans, Derrick Williams, and Derek Fisher.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">Despite playing the part of the Washington Generals for this exhibition match, the PBA selection started off gamely, with Arwind Santos scoring the first basket – and the first slam dunk – of the game.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">The PBA stars even took several early leads in the opening period, as Santos led the charge with ten points. But Durant quickly caught fire, scoring nine points to put the SMART All-Stars ahead, 30-26, at the end of the first quarter.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">The Oklahoma City forward continued his onslaught in the second quarter, adding eleven points to his total, while his Thunder teammate Harden and McGee caught fire. The NBAers ended the half with a 66-50 lead.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;

font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">After a halftime break featuring a three-point shootout where Paul and Harden beat LA Tenorio and Larry Fonacier, all hell broke loose in the third quarter, as the SMART All-Stars put away the game for good.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial;

font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">Bryant scored on two alley-oops coming off passes from Paul and Durant, before feeding Rose for a two-handed alley-oop jam of his own, which prompted the capacity crowd to chant “M-V-P, M-V-P” for the Most Valuable Player of the 2010-2011 NBA season.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial;

font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">Harden added some footage to his highlight reel too, going coast to coast for a rock-the-cradle reverse jam.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial;

font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">Human pogo stick McGee, meanwhile, made himself an easy target of alley-oop passes from his teammates, before bringing the house down with a couple of coast-to-coast jams, showcasing breathtaking athleticism that had perhaps never been seen before by a Filipino audience.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial;

font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">The SMART All-Stars led107-78 heading into the payoff period, and the dunkfest continued in the fourth quarter, with Harden, Evans, and McGee continuing to strut their stuff while Bryant chilled on the bench.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial;

I still can’t believe these players like Kobe, Durant, Chris Paul and Derrick Rose are coming over. They are probably the best players in the world and to see them live in action would be a thrill to the fans,” said PBA commissioner Chito Salud.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />“Our players will have the opportunity to gauge their skills and talent against the NBA stars. Some of them may well be overwhelmed and awed at the start. But as they warm up and play, I expect them to try their best to match up.

margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />MVP Sports Foundation president Al Panlilio, whose group is organizing the blockbuster event dubbed the Ultimate All-Star Weekend, said Rose will complete the eight-player roster headed by five-time champions Kobe Bryant and former ROY awardee Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />“He (Rose) okay, there’s just one detail we’re trying fix out,” said Panlilio, who broke the news Friday night of the much-awaited two-day basketball extravaganza finally happening, yesterday.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Rose’s name was being floated from the start when plans of the MVPSF leaked to the media right during the time when the NBA teams locked out their players for failing to come up with a new collective bargaining agreement.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />It was only yesterday that Rose’s much sought apperance was officially confirmed.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />The name of the former Memphis Tigers was also repeatedly being mentioned in commercials of the Ultimate All-Star Weekend being shown on TV5 Sunday night or on the eve of the official announcement.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Just on his third NBA season, Rose has already won invidivudal and team accolades having snared the ROY and NBA trophies while leading the Bulls to the Eastern Conference Finals before succumbing to eventual losing finalists the Miami Heat.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />The star-studded NBA cast will thus comprise of Rose, Bryant, who will coach the squad, Paul, Fisher, Tyreke Evans of the Sacramento Kings, James Harden of the Oklahoma Thunder, DeAndre Jordan of the Los Angeles Clippers and Derrick Williams of the Minnesota Timberwolves.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px;

margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Reigning ROY and slam dunk champion Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers was supposed to play and join the side slam dunk event but begged off in the last minute to attend his brother’s wedding in the United States.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Two-time scoring champion and former ROY Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma Thunder was earlier reported to be joining the team but negotiations of bringing him to the country to play bogged down.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;
