Sorry kuya (Virced)....


It was a day when Lakers lost to Jazz, Game 4 in their 1st round match-up.

Pagkatapos ng trabaho ko, umuwi ako agad ng bahay. Pagod, dahil sa sobrang busy… Mabuti na lang pag dating ko nang bahay nandyan si Virced at Zyanne para mag comfort sa akin. We played together. Laugh at each other.

Maya’t-maya nagluto ang asawa (Jessa) ko ng aming makain.. Nag ihaw sya ng dalag. Ito ang paboriong isda ng panganay na anak ko na si Virced. Sarap na sarap sya nito. At sabi nya pa, “si Papa lang subo sa akin Mama ha?”.. Natawa ako sa nasabi nya.

Pagkaapos kumain, inutusan ako ni Jessa na paliguan at trapuhan ang mga bata. Una’y ayaw ko pa dahil sa sobrang pagod galling sa trabaho. Pero wala akong magawa, at medyo uminit ang ulo ko. Pagkatapos paliguan si Kuya (Virced), bigla itong tumakbo sa sala, at naglaro pa. Sa sobrang inis ko, dahil baka madumihan na naman, nagalit ako sa kanya.. I yelled at him.. medyo na sermonan ko. At habang binibihisan ko, umiiyak siya. Medyo natagalan pa bago ako humingi ng sorry sa kanya..

Patulog na kami nun, nang maisipan kong humingi ng tawad sa Kuya ko. Pero he fell asleep at naisip ko ipagpabukas na lang. Kinabukasan, on my way to work, natutulog pa rin ang Kuya, well lately na lang after work, I told myself..

Habang nasa trabaho, hindi ako mapalagay. Iniisip ko pa rin ang nagawa ko sa anak ko. Para bang napakasama kong tatay. Gusto ko talagang bumawi sa kanya.

Pag-uwi nang bahay, biglang pumunta sa kwarto, at hinahanap si Virced. Andun pala siya sa kabilang kwarto nanunuod ng favorite channel nya.. Which is Disney Channel, yung’ pambata. Pinuntahan ko siya at kinausap, pero hindi nya ako pinansin. Maya-maya kinausap ako ni Jessa, she told me that she was shocked sa kilos ng Kuya ko pagkagising nya sa umaga. Bigla lang siya bumangon, at pumunta lang sa isang bed namin, at nilaro ang favorite nyang mga toys.. Nung una tinanong siya ng Mama nya na kung gutom siya at gusto nya ba daw kumain kasama ang ading niya (kapatid na bunso). Masigasig niya itong sinagot na “Opo mama”. Pero bigla natahimik ang kuya ko, at biglang napaluha na hindi alam ni Jessa ang dahilan, at biglang sinabing, “galit Papa akin mama? Galit papa akin…” I was stunned, napaluha na lang rin ako sa kwento ni Jessa sa akin.

I was totally mad at myself. Pinuntahan ko agad si Virced, at malumanay ko tong kinausap. At humingi nang sorry, at ni-explain ko sa kanya kung bakit ko nagawa yun. Na kahit pinapagalitan ko sya, I doesn’t mean na I don’t love him. Mahal na mahal ko mga anak ko. At gagawin ko lahat para mabigyan sila nang magandang kinabukasan.

On my way to the market at naisipan kong isama ko ang kuya ko para mamalengke. Masaya kami habang nasa palengke.. at yun marahil ang Peace Offering ko sa kanya..

Futures Odds Favor Lakers and Cavs to Meet in Finals




Online betting players should have a big weekend, as Masters odds are out, the MLB betting season has started, and NBA betting players are thinking about who will represent the Eastern and Western Conferences in the Finals. The Lakers are the Western favorites, by far, while Boston and Cleveland could have some competition from Orlando in the East.

The Lakers are listed at +135 to win it all, and they’ve had the top spot wrapped up in the West for a while now. They’ve even managed to keep Kobe Bryant’s minutes down in hopes of keeping him fresh for the postseason, which should scare the rest of the West. Denver is listed at +1815 and, while they put up a lot of points, the Nuggets give up a lot of points as well. In the postseason, the game slows down, so it’ll be interesting to see how they handle a slower pace.

Houston has NBA betting odds of +2550, but they still have to prove they can get out of the first round, much less win the NBA championship. San Antonio is rated at +2850, but they just received word that Manu Ginobili is out for the season with an ankle injury, while Tim Duncan’s knees don’t enable him to play back-to-back games. It could be the first chink in the Spurs’ armor.

The Cavaliers are the top East team with NBA odds of +265, and Cleveland’s homecourt advantage in the playoffs will be crucial. Cleveland is an insane 38-1 at home, with the Lakers ruining their shot at a perfect record back in February. The Celtics are listed at +465, and Kevin Garnett’s knee is probably the biggest injury worry in the postseason. Garnett’s intensity, especially on defense, is what powered thNBA Playoffs Betting - Finals Future Odds - Cavs, Lakerse Celtics to last year’s title, and he’ll need to be at least 95 per cent for Boston to make it out of the East.

Orlando is listed at +1015, and it’s not a stretch to think that the Magic can do it. They are 2-2 against Boston this year, and 2-1 against Cleveland, and if their outside shooters can keep the opposition from crowding Dwight Howard, the Magic could easily end up in the Finals.

The darkhorse in either conference? Miami, who is listed in the field at +2250. The Heat have a player, Dwayne Wade, who has already carried his team to a championship, and his numbers this year have been simply outstanding. If the Heat can play defense, and Michael Beasley can become a second option, the Heat are in the running for an NBA betting upset.

3 days left - PLAYOFFS!!!




There are three days left in the season, and except for one series, we don't have a clue as to who's playing who in the first round of the playoffs.

The Hawks and Heat are locked in (or LOCKED IN!!! as @iamdiddy would twitter) to the fourth and fifth spots in the East, respectively. Atlanta will host Miami for Games 1 and 2 of their first round series beginning Saturday or Sunday.

The Cavs, Celtics and Magic are No. 1, 2 and 3 for sure, but they don't know who they'll be matched up with. While the Sixers' slump has made things much more interesting, Monday's matchup between the Bulls and Pistons should clear things up a little.

In the West, all we know is that the Lakers are No. 1. After that, it's a big mess. In fact, if things go a certain way, we could have four teams tied at 54-28 and three more tied at 49-33. That would sure be interesting, wouldn't it?

Maybe instead of having them play their last two games, we should just gather the Nuggets, Spurs, Rockets and Blazers together for one giant game of Knockout. The winner's team would get the two seed, second place would get the third seed, and so on. Then do the same with New Orleans, Dallas and Utah for sixth, seventh and eighth.

Otherwise, we'll just have to watch a lot of games over the next three nights. On second thought, that sounds like fun. Lets make the most out of our last three days with League Pass.

Thank You Kiko.... Macheda...


Manchester United kept their lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League table thanks to an Italian kid named 'Kiko'.
HEROES

MANCHESTER UNITED

This is how champions respond. With a team missing almost six regulars including their first-choice central defence, Manchester United were thought to be up against it against Aston Villa at Old Trafford. After Liverpool cranked up the pressure on the reigning champions with a Fulham win, United knew they had to respond. And respond they did. Although they were not convincing against Villa, United still came away with all three points. Sir Alex Ferguson has proved yet again how astute he has been in procuring young players who can step up the plate when it matters. His youngsters are usually thrown into the fray when the team is 2-1 down and not when 4-0 up. That's how you learn - the hard way. One could argue that Ferguson had no choice but to place his trust in kids. But these kids are proven. Consider this - 17-year-old Federico Macheda have been prolific for United at every level while 19-year-old Danny Welbeck already has a Wembley appearance under his belt. Both were pivotal in United's victory over Villa and their contributions could prove to be the last turning point in the title race. Ferguson dares to put his faith in his kids when the chips are down. As the saying goes, he who dares, usually wins.


FEDERICO MACHEDA

Federico Macheda has a joker's face and he is proving to be Man United's joker in the pack. While United's ace, Cristiano Ronaldo, stepped up to the plate in the absence of Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov, 'Kiko' almost stole Ronaldo's thunder with his late, late winner. Scratch that. Judging from the elation coming from the United camp, the Italian teenager has completely overshadowed everybody. There is no doubt about his promise though. The way Macheda set up the winning goal was fantastic. His deft turn took out Curtis Davis and with a swerve of his right boot; he curled a-contender-for-the-season-goal past Brad Friedel. Cue pandemonium at OT. Amazingly, it was reported that Macheda was pulled out of the Italian U-17 squad at the last minute by Alex Ferguson on Saturday so that he can be fielder for the Villa game. The rest, as they say, is history.

Mickey Rourke Comes Correct


Just because he's an Oscar-nominated actor doesn't mean Mickey Rourke is afraid of a good fight. True, the tussle was staged, but the Mickster's battle with WWE grappler Chris Jericho stirred up the Search box and sent the Buzz into a tizzy.

For those of you who don't follow the never ending soap opera that is professional wrestling, here's a brief recap: Several months ago, Mr. Rourke, who played pro wrestler Randy 'The Ram' Robinson in "The Wrestler," challenged Jericho to a match. Jericho accepted and then, seemingly, Rourke had second thoughts. Apparently, that was a ruse. Last night, Mr. Rourke got into the ring with Jericho, but instead of wrestling his singlet-clad rival, he boxed.

Here's how it went down. Jericho had just beaten old time legends Jimmy Snuka, Rickey "The Dragon" Steamboat, and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, when Mickey, who was sitting ringside, answered Jericho's challenge and climbed into the ring. The Mick calmly removed his cowboy hat and "knocked out" the pro grappler with a left hook, much to the crowd's delight.

Jericho was the winner over Piper and company, but all anybody seems to care about was that Rourke dropped Jericho like a bad agent. Queries on "mickey rourke wrestlemania" and "mickey rourke chris jericho" both posted huge gains. The battle also inspired plenty of articles and blogs. NJ.com offers a nice recap of the event and Yahoo's omg gives a 4 star play-by-play of the battle.

Now that Rourke has taken Jericho down a notch in the ring, perhaps Jericho will challenge Rourke on "The Actor's Studio." Winner gets to body slam James Lipton.
