Baller 2nd issue out now

Posted by Jaemark Tordecilla on January 4, 2011 at 08:44 | Comments (6)
I’ve got two stories in the latest issue of Baller, the Official Lifestyle Magazine of the PBA, featuring Barangay Ginebra’s Three Kings on the cover. I’m not even a Ginebra fan, but damn, that is a fine-looking cover – in my opinion, better than the James Yap photo that graced the maiden issue. My idol Patricia Hizon wrote the cover story, as well as about 1,549 other features in the magazine. Inside are a few more photos of Willie Miller, Mark Caguioa, and Jayjay Helterbrand goofing around. Wille Thriller looks like he had so much fun at the pictorials.

Quick thoughts on the PBA opening

Posted by Jaemark Tordecilla on October 5, 2010 at 14:47 | Comments (39)
There are a million things to write about, and I wish I could get to all of them, but after my work trip in Thailand, I’m way, way behind on a bunch things back here at the office. I dunno how much I’ll be able to post over the next few days.

Anyway, the new season of the PBA started over the weekend, and the Powerade (nee Coca-Cola) Tigers stole the show in the opening ceremonies yet again, this time by trotting out Showtime mainstay Vice Ganda as its muse. It seems apt that Powerade picked another comedian to be its muse, because with the way Coach Bo Perasol and co. are running the team (Jai Reyes FTW!), they’re looking more and more like they’re in the PBA for comedy instead of basketball.

Rumors of the PBA’s death are greatly exaggerated: Week 1 thoughts

Posted by Jaemark Tordecilla on October 20, 2009 at 19:14 | Comments (8)
Mark Caguioa and James Yap

Last Sunday, with little fanfare about the night’s event, 13,000 fans trooped to the Araneta Coliseum to watch an early season game between Ginebra and Purefoods (and perhaps, the matchup between the returning Mark Caguioa and James Yap). They didn’t seem to mind the dark cloud looming over the league with the Wynne Arboleda incident, or the mushrooming negative sentiment all over the Internet against the league after Powerade Team Pilipinas’ debacle in the Fiba-Asia Championship.

Carla Abellana and JC Intal

Lolit Solis claims that the Carla Abellana-JC Intal breakup is just a gimmick, so fans would be fooled into thinking that Carla is available to fall in love with her Rosalinda leading man Geoff Eigenmann. Manay Lolit posts as proof pictures of the couple together.

Powerade Team Pilipinas members try out the exotic food in Beijing

Posted by Jaemark Tordecilla on August 19, 2009 at 18:58 | Comments (0)


Powerade Team Pilipinas stalwarts Jared Dillinger, Gabe Norwood, Asi Taulava, Jayjay Helterbrand, Japeth Aguilar, and Ryan Reyes hit the streets of Beijing shortly after the Fiba-Asia Championships and sampled some of the exotic local food. Dillinger and Norwood are both providing updates on Twitter, along with other PBA players Kelly Williams and his brother-in-law Lamont Waters.

James Yap poses with Kris Aquino

I wasn’t able to tweet during the Team Pilipinas game versus Kuwait or post a quick report on it because I was out late partying with Lady Gaga last night. Just kidding. Anyway, this morning, my friends who went to the show couldn’t get over the size of her penis.

Fiba-Asia Championships: Iran beats Team Pilipinas in the Battle of Twitter

Posted by Jaemark Tordecilla on August 11, 2009 at 13:12 | Comment (1)
Defending Fiba-Asia champions leaned on Memphis Grizzlies center Hamed Haddadi and superstar swingman Samad Nikkah Bahrami who combined for 46 points to turn back a game Team Pilipinas in a matchup between two countries with unpopular presidents and citizens who have taken to the microblogging platform Twitter. It can be recalled that protesters in Iran used Twitter earlier this year to protest the electoral victory of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, while Twitter trends have been affected by various Filipino memes, most notably former President Corazon Aquino’s death, but also various other crap like the last SONA, the UP-Ateneo upset, and the book blockade.

Fiba-Asia Championships: Willie Thriller and Big Game James lift Team Pilipinas over Chinese Taipei

Posted by Jaemark Tordecilla on August 10, 2009 at 18:17 | Comments (0)
When it rains, it pours. After its perimeter scoring went dry as the Ilocos sand dunes against South Korea, the Team Pilipinas corps of snipers made it rain this afternoon, hitting 15 three-pointers against Chinese Taipei en route to a 77-70 victory. James Yap and Willie Miller led the way with 6 and 5 three-point baskets, respectively. Yap keyed a 3rd quarter run that allowed Team Pilipinas to take the lead after trailing for most of the game, while Miller’s last three-pointer with 20 seconds left in the game pushed the lead to 5 and sealed the deal for the Nationals.

Fiba-Asia Championships: Korea wants nobody, nobody but chu, hands Team Pilipinas its first loss

Posted by Jaemark Tordecilla on August 8, 2009 at 22:50 | Comments (0)
South Korea made the Team Pilipinas snipers look like the Wonder Girls (*point-clap-clap-point-clap*) tonight as they held the Philippines to miserable shooting all game long. Willie Miller, Jayjay Helterbrand, James Yap, and Gabe Norwood threw up enough bricks to build a full house (heh), while Korea capitalized on missed rotations by the Philippine defense down the stretch en route to winning their third straight game in the competition.

Jones Cup weekend: Powerade Team Pilipinas ends campaign with a whimper

Posted by Jaemark Tordecilla on July 27, 2009 at 09:01 | Comments (0)
It wasn’t the best weekend for Powerade Team Pilipinas, as they ended the 31st William Jones Cup in embarrassing fashion. On Saturday, they managed to pull out a narrow 94-90 win over Chinese Taipei’s Team B, in a sloppy, turnover-filled contest reminiscent of badly played UAAP basketball (which, frankly, is like every other game). Then on Sunday, defending Asian champions Iran blew the Nationals off the court, building a 30-point lead in the first half en route to an 85-60 win.
