There's just five of them. At this juncture, we already know who these candidates running for the presidency are (as well as those vying for VP). But lest we forget there are senators that we have to elect. (Yeah, heard some guys out there shout from the top of their lungs: Manny Pacquiao! ) There's a dozen vacant seats awaiting them at the Senate. But there's like 50-ish candidates and do you know each of them? I bet it's hard to remember all. Why, Kilala mo ba si Win?   Except for those who are popular enough (read: rich enough to afford tons of TVC). Otherwise it's really hard to remember and earmark each candidate the moment you are there in the voting precinct ready to shade the oval next to the corresponding number and name.

And so we heard today. Finally. The news about the ticket. Not talking about the Liberal Party ticket. Or any other political ticket out there who are all busy beating the clock as the May 9 National Elections draw nearer and nearer each day.

We've heard, read, tweeted, facebooked almost everything about the current Manny Pacquiao issue. Instead of dwelling on a very tacky subject matter about religion, morals, sexuality and all—well—maybe let's just focus on the stuff that somehow binds us all without a doubt and prejudice—sports! In this case, basketball!

It's an historic game 7. And almost every party involved were asked for a word or two. They were saying bonuses not as important as the prestige of coming back from a 0-3 quagmire. The other team saying they've never been motivated to finish off what they have started. But one thing for sure is left in the dark. Literally all by their lonesome at the rafters.

It's been a while. Well, maybe a month. No, double that! Sobrang naging busy yung holidays. And as expected the laundries were as horrendous as the EDSA traffic. Perhaps as endless it seems as the queue in the MRT everyday. But nonetheless we're back to regular programming.

Arwind Santos never hesitated when PBA Season 41 rookies Chris Newsome and Mo Tautuaa asked him to pose for a picture—although in two separate occasions. Well, Arwind is a veteran, league MVP and a champion-slash-singer-slash-composer and other what-have-you slashes this guy is capable of. Very talented and when you see someone like him, siyempre papa-picture ka agad-agad!

Coach Baldzewski is in the news! Yey, did that sound close to Coach K's name yet? Alright, not the Pinoy Coach K—because that'd be Coach Pido! But Coach Mike Krzyzewski! Now let's say that name again. Well, "Coach K" works just fine.
