By merely looking at your story on Smart Gilas' win over Saudi Arabia in the Fiba-Asia Champion's Cup, I realized that your news-writing ability doesn't match your cockiness. Very disgusting. Shame on you, dude.

For a guy who lusts over the idea of writing for all local magazines, this article is a slap on the face. You messed it up. You didn't even observe some AP guidelines which local sports journalists whom you hit in your blog have been observing since the day they entered journalism school. You presented your lead paragraph in a dizzying two-sentence feature and your tenses were in disarray. For instance, in the sixth paragraph you used the word "said" in Rajko Toroman's quote. But in the 10th paragraph, you used "admits" in referring to what Japeth Aguilar said. Pretty confusing?

Instead of spelling out numbers 1-9, you were too lazy and wrote it in figures (like 6 rebounds) and referred to Aguilar as the "ultra-athletic Aguilar" Why? Is he a super hero? Or you were just trying to sensationalize his ability after hitting Aguilar for refusing to play for Burger King before?

Reading your story is a pain the ass, seriously.

You're still an amateur, young man. So quit pretending that you are a journalist. Okay, if you really want to be a journalist, please, i beg, do yourself a favor: Improve your grammar.

You are just a fan, and will always be a fan. Do not pretend to be a journalist because you'll never be one. You don't respect the profession. You're a shame to PCIJ, to TV5, and to all publications that bore your byline. You accused literary great Krip Yuson of plagiarizing, but look at yourself-- you can't even write a simple basketball story. No wonder, nobody in the newspaper industry trusts you. Nobody even invites you to become a contributor. Because you are JUST a blogger-- a short, fat and ugly faggot screaming at ringside.

Or even worst, a geek-- a basketball geek.

The realities finally came crashing down, and it showed a short, fat and ugly writer who is pulling the strings from the backstage, masquerading as a big-shot journalist who piggybacks on the popularity and credibility of Yuson, Noli Eala, Allan Gregorio, Rajko Toroman and, yes, Qunito Henson.

So if I were you, I will rush to the nearest bookstore and grab Strunk and White's Element of Style before writing and picking a cyberfight with sports officials.
