UE filed a formal complaint on the call of the referees yesterday. The UAAP Board met today and decided that UE should be the winner. (Based on instant replay. The 3 pt. shot was released after the buzzer sounded.)
So, no more playoff for Ateneo. We will go against La Salle in the Final Four. Playoff game on Sunday will be between UE and FEU. They will fight for the #2 slot.
Final Four schedule (Tentative): September 25 and 28
Finals schedule: October 2, 5, 11.
If you have time, please watch UAAP Central on Studio 23 tonight, 11:30PM. Guests include courtside reporters, Randy Sacdalan, and ex-UAAP players (Enrico Villanueva, Gec Chia, Mike Bravo and Xavey Nunag). We will also explain what happened yesterday and the Board's decision.

My friend Kookie had invited me several times to join Friendster. I finally checked it out last week and it's a really cool website! It connects people to their friends and the friends of their friends. Now, I've found high school and college batchmates and long-lost friends. Check it out! And if you do join, do let me know so I can add you!

Honk!!!
I watched Honk! at the Meralco Theater today. It was very entertaining! You'd think that it's only for children at first, and this is supported by the fact that more than 50% of the audience were kids, but it's not. Honk! has lessons for everyone, young and old alike.
Agot Isidro was surprisingly good. I used to always see her in her noontime shows. Yes she sang well, but I never thought of her as having a great voice. But the Agot in the play sang very well, and the change is the result of a very good voice coach, I assume. I felt though that she held back in her dancing. I was also surprised with Franco Laurel, who played Ugly. I know that he has joined several musicals in the past, including Rama at Sita, but the Franco in my mind had a very weak voice. But the person who stole the show was Tonipet Gaba, as Cat. He's really a natural. I'm sure that most of you know Tonipet because of his commercials - the guy with the funny faces in the Bonamine and Chowking commercial, and the anchor/host of the old Surf commercial.
It could have been better if the microphones were not visible to the audience. There were also several glitches with the microphones. The set was simple, but it was very pleasing to the eyes. The costumes were also very amusing.
It was very pleasant to be with so many children, hearing them ask questions and hearing them laugh. Normally this would be annoying, but this afternoon was an exception. This may sound far off, but I was happy they watched because of the many lessons that they surely picked up.
Honk! was definitely worth every centavo.

I wish I had enough money to buy this poster:
Graham Watson sells a lot of good Tour de France posters. Check them out.

Been a long time since I've seen anyone post in the "tv ads" thread in PinoyExchange. I really love that thread. It's a thread where people can discuss TV ads, billboards, print ads, and radio ads. The members post what they like or don't like about an ad. No bashing, just constructive criticisms. It's very helpful to agency people because they can get feedback on their work.
There are ads that emerge as favorites, and the latest one is the Close Up Breaking Barriers TVC. I love that ad because it communicates its message well. People remember it because of the message and the catchy tune. As always, ads that tug the heart are almost always the good ads.

The Annual Book Fair
I only found out about the book fair last saturday, so I made sure I went there yesterday. I said this last year, but I'll say it again. The key to the bookfair is to be able to go there during the first few days, and the last few days. If you go there on the last day, yes, some books will be given at an extra discount, but all the goodies would be gone. So key is to go there at least twice.
Venue is still the same - Megatrade Hall of SM Megamall.
I was able to buy Book 1 and 2 of Artemis Fowl, Trading Up, back issues of magazines, and lots of children's books for my inaanak, Mika. The books are so cheap! Especially if you compare them to the regular prices.
(Wow, what a postive entry!)
