NBA Final 2008 Lakers vs. Celtics

Unfortunately, Detroit Pistons lose to the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference Championship. This sets up a Lakers versus Celtics NBA Finals.

I didn't like Boston advancing to the finals. I grew up in the 80's. Learned to play basketball during the 80's. The first NBA game I watched on TV was the 1987 Lakers-Celtics finals on replay. I saw the Bird-Magic rivalry. I saw Abdul-Jabbar laboriously run up and down the court but still convert his patented sky hook with ease. I saw Worthy running the lanes and finishing fastbreaks for the Lakers. Then, there was McHale, Parish, DJ, obnoxious Ainge, and Greg Kite. For the Lakers, you had Cooper, a young Byron Scott, Rambis with his eyeglasses, Thompson.....

These are like sacred memories I had of my own version of the Lakers-Celtics rivalry.

Now, I just hope that Kobe, Pau, Odom, Fisher and Pierce, KG, Ray Allen can live up to that standard of play of the previous Lakers-Celtics matchups.

What's Bugging you?

Bugs are not good. We surely don't want cockroaches and other bugs crawling around our rooms. Computer codes don't want bugs in them. We also don't want eavesdroppers tapping our communication lines and putting bugs around our house.

And as pesky as cockroaches, a couple things have been in my mind lately. Although not all of those bugging me are bad. One makes me think of what might have been. Another makes me giddy, like a high school kid! hahaha...

But I'm such a brooder. All these stuffs would be on my mind for a long period of time. Until I can resolve to do something about them. Or until I just get tired and forget them. But usually the problem solving "Men are from Mars" in me, would want me to resolve them.

Oh well, I can't really say what those things on my mind are. I certainly can let go of the one that makes me think of what might have been. In fact, I may already have. And I can certainly stay giddy like a high schoo kid for a longer time.... I just hope the giddyness turns into something better.

Nothing wrong in dreaming and reaching for the stars.... Good Night!

Please listen to my opening page song

I've been trying to fill up my iPod with new, hip, and funky songs. I came across this relatively new hit single from Rihanna. It's playing quite often as of this moment in our airwaves here. And I kinda like it.... so Rihanna a song... the lyrics are quite ok... but I dig them, especially the chorus :)

So, I'm sharing her music with you. (Although the one I got from the net is not so nice... it has a station ID thingie at the start. Sorry for that! Hahaha!!) But enjoy.

Here's the lyrics:

How bout a round of applause?
Standin Ovasion...
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

You look so dumb right now
Standin' outside my house
Tryin to apologize
You're so ugly when you cry
(Please)
Just cut it out

Don't tell me you're sorry cuz you're not
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught

But you put on quite a show
You really had me goin
But now it's time to go
Curtains finally closin
That was quite a show
Very entertainin'
But it's over now
Go on and take a bow

Grab your clothes and get gone
(You better hurry up)
Before the sprinklers come on
Talkin' bout "Girl, I love you you're the one..."
This just looks like a re-run
(Please)
What else is on?

And don't tell me you're sorry cuz you're not
Baby when i know you're only sorry you got caught

But you put on quite a show
You really had me goin'
But now it's time to go
Curtains finally closin
That was quite a show
Very entertainin'
But it's over now
Go on and take a bow

And the award for the best liar goes to you
For makin' me believe
That you could be
Faithful to me
Let's hear your speech
oh...

How bout a round of a plause?
Standin Ovasion...

But you put on quite a show
You really had me goin'
But now it's time to go
Curtains finally closin'
That was quite a show
Very entertainin'
But it's over now
Go on and take a bow

But it's over now...

Channel Surfing and Reality TV

I'm a couch potato. And a TV addict.

I don't know if its just boredom or if I really like to watch tv. I spent the whole day in the house, doing nothing else but watching tv. Starting in the morning, I catch the live telecast of the NBA Playoffs which lasted til 1PM. Then, I watched a couple of movies on the DVD and channel surfed the rest of the afternoon until now, at 11PM at night.

And I just noticed, reality TV is such a great thing for channel surfing. Thanks to cable channels like Velvet, 2nd Avenue, Jack TV, etc.... I was able to watch TMZ, a couple of episode of America's Next Top Model (pretty ladies ;-) ), Top Chef.

But what I can really recall is a reality show of Victoria Beckham. Is she hot!?!?! Posh Spice! Woot woot! And I can seriously say that I like her more now after watching that show. Yes, she has a pretty face, slim and sexy body! And she's always dressed up and looking good. But watching the show, never thought she has a sense of humor, and she was very pleasant throughout the show. And she has personality! I thought she was just all beauty and nothing more.

Alright.. that's all... I'm going to back channel surfing
