I hope it doesn't go this way.

After the Golden State Warriors' loss yesterday, I think we have to brace ourselves for the inevitable... A repeat of the most uninteresting Finals match-up between powerhouses Detroit and San Antonio two years ago. The last time these two met, the Finals TV ratings were the lowest ever in a decade (may be exaggerated). This series has all the ingredients for a nightmare Final - Low scoring, defense oriented, international cast, slow, half-court execution... And that means we sell less NBA apparel. Looking past my selfish interests, the league will have a lower expected income based on lower interest of sponsors... even our local broadcaster, BTV, will also have a tough time selling to local sponsors. So David Stern PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... talk to your officials and mandate them to allow GOLDEN STATE and PHOENIX to advance instead of Utah or San Antonio. The East was already doomed with the early and pending exits of Miami and Detroit.

Opening Day of Spiderman 3

Look at the screens... Red indicates seats are taken.

Firetrap

If you're looking for a place with cool graphic tees and jeans, try Firetrap in Tiendesitas. Bianca and I were looking for a gift for my brother's birthday and we saw some pretty looking tees here. Of course, it had the occassional fake Polo shirts, but aside from that, their originally produced tees look really really good.. Plus they only do limited runs so you won't have to deal with the embarrassment of seeing other guys wearing the same shirt.
This is the pair i want! 1,500 bucks only! Not bad... Might go back this weekend to get it.

Spiderman 3 Opening Day

Was gonna work the whole day today... Until we saw a TV ad featuring Spiderman 3... and realized it was opening today! We rushed to Shangrila to get ourselves tickets. Of course when we got there, the seats were almost sold out. Fortunately we were able to grab two seats at the Shang Premiere Theatre. Bianca liked part 2 better... This one looks like a remix version of the 2nd, with a similar storyline and odd collaborations. But I say it's still worth the 250 pesos. With free popcorn, hotdog and softdrinks!
