Ride with me!!

It’s been a week since my new baby came into my life. My new baby is a big bike. Yes, it’s big bike,a brand new motorcycle, 200cc, heavier than me-i’m almost 80 kgs, red and gray color. That’s motorstar z200 Xplorer. I’m ala Wish-n-bone on the Resurrection MTV when I ride it. Having this toy on my hand, I join to this forum, this is a great source for any brand and model of bike. Definitely these bike is a toy for the big boys.

Since I was a kid, a baby boy. Me and my brother always have a bike. He’s the driver and Im the passenger. And growing up, we manage to have different kinds of bike, from bmx, no-name bike, moutain bikes, mini-mountain-bike, fusion etc. Some survives with us and sell it because we had enough of them but some of them have been stolen by unknown chief thief, and I’m not going to let it happen with my bike, who definitely doesn’t respect us for being arrogant and trying to better than us in doing street life. But this will be a another story.

First thing first, a new bike should passed into break-in period. Sorry, I will not following the user’s manual 500kms break in period. I’m going over the prescribe km-age may be about 700kms. But I don’t understand why I can’t go faster than 40 km/h when the dealer says I can go 60 km/h. I’m a safe rider. Do I? After that I’ll do some modification when the warranty period is over. That was stated on dealer’s deal. Probably I only modify the lookability of it. Put some nice side mirrors. A better hand grip and headlights. A tail lights. I really don’t know. As long as I can afford it.

But behind of these fancy bike, neck full of chains and blings, Polo jeans and Nike signs. Im here to stay so you can get to know me because Im a simple blogger at heart.

Red Bull: Against All Odds

Since the beginning of the PBA’s All Filipino Cup playoffs, I’ve been watching Red Bull’s quest in being the Champs. Against all odds simply because they been hounded by the league’s top three best contender for the Championship. First against Ginebra Ginkings. Then San Miguel Beermen. And now, they’re facing Purefoods Chunkee Giants. All are San Miguel Franchises. Organization-wise, San Miguel was bigger than Red Bull. As we know Ginkings were fan favorite in their series. They going up against number one scoring machine in the PBA, Mark Caguioa and major pain Erik Menk. With Ginebra’s depleted line up all I thought Red Bull will swept the series. But after winning game one then Ginkings leading the series, thinking that Ginebra was more eager to win the first round in dedication to injured players like Jayjay Helterbrand and Rommel Adducul, Red bull suddenly bounces back very strong leaving the Ginebra and give them a no-practice tomorrow. In the second round, they are up to challenge with the number one team for the ‘60 season, that is San Miguel, It could be the toughest for them. Winning game one was very, I can say, predictable in favor of the Red Bull. I believe the Red Bull has the momentum in winning it. San Miguel was came from a long vacation because of the classificatin phase of the PBA. Having a fresh legs, San miguel will surely having a hard time getting their rythm. Where were the odds? Here it is, one, Dorian Peña pounding the ball inside and almost crashing all of his defenders it is a headache for the Red Bull. Secondly, San Miguels have the most, maybe, unchallengable player with Danny Seigle. This player can create a lot of mismatches. Send him a natural player in number three spot definitely he will take advantage of his size. Send him a player from a four spot he wil take advantage of his quickness. Having said that, it is a headache for Coach Yeng. To complete the odds, MVP Danny Ildefonso can also be an headache, strict shooter and defensive specialist Don Don Hontiveros is also a factor and the “old veteran” Olsen Racela can be dangerous. But then again Red bull manages to win the series. All they need to realizes was that these players can only be dangerous if and only if there are on the floor if it is not take advantage of not having them in the floore. I believe Red bull has deeper bench than San Miguel. Deeper in a sense that players from Red bull are consistent and foucs both in offensive and defensive aspects of the game. Unlike with the San Miguel most with them are explosives type of players. That is why they win the win the Game 7 with the Hitman’s own kind version of Dagger Shoot. That is all about focusing to the game. Entering the Finals will be another story of odds for Red Bull. Again, for the second time, less the import, they will be facing Purefoods. The Giants are more intact right now. Lead by Kerby Raymundo the Purefoods are highly motivated by Tejada’s accident. It happened against the Red Bull. Are Red Bull affected because of it? Maybe not but subconsciously yes? While Kerby playing in a god-mode trying to testify he is a success in Purefoods team its going to be tough for Red bull’s big men. In addition to that, shooters like James Yap and Noy Castillo, although Noy was nothing to show in Game one, the aggresiveness of Marc Pingris and Yee, the hardwork and relialibility as veterans of Rey and Limpot, the quickness of Paul and Roger Yap it is going to be a tough ball game. The last and important odd was inside Red Bull’s organization. As coach Yeng consider to retire if he win this most precious All Filipino Cup Title because he has yet to win it , Red Bull club seems that they wasn’t sure if this statement motivated them or it just adding a pressure to them.

In the last two series Red Bull won the first game giving them a high percentage of winning the series. But the Red Bull was up to the challenge. It doesn’t matter who took the first game, at least with the Red Bull, simply because they are unpredictable.

LA not anymore in the playoffs

I know its been, probably, two weeks that the lakers are done. But I need to post this, not to disrespect, although it might not the proper term, rather to show my support to this team. I still be rooting for LA

LA is done. But there is always the next season.

Hopefully LA will be better team. Talent-wise this team are great, they just need to realize that. They are strong but inconsistent. They are intact but not focused.

You got 2 KB Kwame and Kobe, L.O., Vujacic, Smush Parker, Chris Mihm and others, these players are talented they just need to nurtured as a team. Right?

PS

So whichever team become the champs it does not matter to me.

first five

I just finished reading a NBA Blog. The topic was favs players within the NBA, might as well write something about my dream players having in the same team.

Here’s my thought:

Let’s begin with center position.

I’ll picked Jermaine O’neal in this slot.

This Pacer was awesome.

He can defend, can get double doubles in the regular.

he can blocked. A post threat. Can shoot the ball outside. Can’t ask for more?

Next is, maybe, the unsung mvp of the NBA Elton Brand.

I like his attitude towards the game.

He played solid games. He’s really a team player. That’s it. Period
Next in my list was a swingman in nature however I put him on a three spot to give way for another swingman plus he can definitely filled this spot. He’s Paul Pierce.

Ok, why I picked this guy because he creates lots of mismatches when he is inside the court.

If he play the number 2 spot, he’s too big. If you match him with a guy who played 3 or 4 spot he’s too quick. He’s too much to handle.

The next player is the show. It’s Kobe Bryant.

Like any other swingman he gets the ball alot and shoot it alot. He has MVP-like numbers. He came from my all time favorite team, the Lakers. He can make his teammates involved in the plays. When he’s hot he’s unstoppable. Remember he scored 81 points in a game. And he’s the only guy that have a lots of guts to take the shoots in a pressured-filled game. He’s really more of a clutch shooter.

To complete my first five. I picked Baron Davis for the point position.

He’s quick. He has the agility. He’s explosive going into the basket. He has the leadership skills, he can definitely carry his team on his broad should. How ironic is that?
