UAAP ups and downs

Ok first off, I would like to congratulate the Blue Eagles for winning the game this afternoon (evening?) against Adamson. I must admit that it was a very impressive match. The Eagles definitely deserved that win as everyone indeed stepped up without Mr. Fonacier.

I was able to watch the last seconds of the 3rd quarter and the whole 4th through a TV – the group was in Italianni’s after singing at a wedding in San Agustin Church, Intramuros.

People I particulary enjoyed watching were Intal, and of course Mr. Tenorio. Though LA made the game winning shot, I couldn’t deny that Intal was an integral performer at the last quarter.

Again, congratulations to the team.

Strange disco song

This has got to be the wierdest set of lyrics I’ve heard. Heard it on the trip to Guimaras last weekend… and BACK!

“Ohhhh, you touched my Tra-la-la… My Ding-ding-dong.”

Apparently, this song is pretty hot there, I wish they’d play it in Manila. Though absurd and unremarkable, the lyrics alone make it fun to listen to.

Apple’s bratty attitude

“Read about the iTunes-Harmony fiasco”

“Real”

“Apple”

RealNetworks has released a perfectly legal alternative to Apple’s proprietary music format. This allows the software to encode music compatible on the popular iPOD.

Apple’s response is no less than shameful as it has obviously taken a stance as an arrogant, self-absorbed, monopolizing entity. By accusing RealNetworks reverse engineering the technology as very similar to that of a hacker, Apple demands that the alternative be snuffed out.
