A Devastating Loss and Monumental Ticket Prices

 


     San Antonio Spurs suffered a devastating loss in Game 4 of their championship series against New York Knicks this morning (Manila time). They led by as much as 29 points (in THIRD quarter), only to lose by one point in the final seconds. With the Spurs leading by one point in the final fifteen seconds and the Knicks with the ball, Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox was able to make a steal, but instead of holding on to the ball and just dribbling out the clock or waiting for a foul, he tried to score and was blocked, giving the opponent the opportunity to score the game-winning basket.

     Monumental blunder, yes.

     Another reason the Knick was able to win was because the curse was already lifted: Donald Trump didn’t attend game 4. Lol.

     Speaking of Donald Trump, a lot of people apparently are suspecting that he’s gay, nay, bisexual (remember, he’s being accused of raping little girls in the past). Want proof that he likes men, too. Have a peek at an Instagram account named Branhattan and watched their reels. They're hilarious.

     Incidentally, still no live at Disney Plus. Replays, they have aplenty.

     After the game, I went to a mall to buy some groceries. I thought of buying earphones for my phone, so I went inside a tech store. I wanted a wired one, they’re less expensive, say the experts, than the wireless ones and they sound better. Quickly entranced by an item, I was about to call the attention of a salesperson when I thought of looking at the price—22K.

     I quickly retreated out of the store—my budget was only 2K. Lol.

     Did you know that an average ticket to Spurs-Knicks Finals could cost $9K. That's 549K pesos.

    The most expensive ticket? Around $300K. That's 18M pesos, enough to buy you a house, a car, and a pair of average tickets to the finals. This price becomes even more painful when you're a Spurs fan. Lol.

     Fox s*cks. Lol.

"Hey, This Song Has Built A House Inside My Head!"

If you'd notice, I'd put a little musical thingamajig somewhere on this blog and I called it Last Song Syndrome. Last Song Syndrome, of course, happens when a song you just heard refuses to leave your mind for hours or even for days. You sing it or hum it while working or while taking a bath or changing your baby's or your granddad's diaper or taking your dog for a walk or just bumming around. I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd songs so most often than not, it is a Pink Floyd song that will always swirl inside my head. But I also listen to other musicians. I'll try to dissect and write a small background of every song that I will feature in this blog. The Final Cut is one of my fave Pink Floyd songs. Very emotional, very depressing and has great vocals by Roger Waters , it is one of the songs from the album The Final Cut (an anti-war CD that was released in 1983), the last album where Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's main songwriter) took part in. After that album, Water...

AND HERE'S SOME BAD NEWS...

Seventeen years ago, Maureen Hultman, 16 years old, Roland John Chapman, 21 and Jussi Olavi Leino, 24, were returning home from a party when they were accosted and confronted by Claudio Teehankee Jr, 45. Teehankee, who was unknown to the three, demanded some identification. Leino took out his wallet and showed Teehankee an ID. Chapman approached them and asked Teehankee: “Why are you bothering us?” Teehankee drew out his gun and shot Chapman in the chest. “Why did you shoot me?” Chapman asked Teehankee as he was crumpling to the ground. Chapman died on the spot. Teehankee then ordered the now hysterical Hultman and Leino to sit together on the sidewalk. While seated, unarmed and begging for mercy, the two were gunned down by Teehankee. Hultman was killed while Leino survived and later identified Teehankee as the gunman. The nation was enraged with that senseless crime and demanded that the death penalty be restored. Teehankee was sentenced to one count of reclusion perpetua (ranging f...

Roger Waters, Thom Yorke, Taylor Swift, and an Audacious Instagram User

       Roger Waters (former Pink Floyd frontman) and Thom Yorke (Radiohead frontman), two of my favorite songwriters of all time, continue to feud with each other. The quarrel started a few years ago, I think, when Roger wrote and asked Thom not to perform in Israel, which Thom ignored. Roger has been protesting Israel for a long time and asking his fellow artists no to go and perform there. He called Thom “damaged and not very bright.” Lol.      I learned that a friend had recently undergone surgery for myoma, which was a common benign tumor in uterus, and wished her well. I really don’t know what causes it, but no, long-term celibacy doesn’t cause it. Lol.      I have an Instagram account which is empty and pointless and thoroughly inactive, but despite that, one account had the temerity to follow me. Lol. But a few days ago, my one and only follower deactivated their account. I don’t know if it’s a fake account, but if not, I hope...
