Mobile Philippines, the magazine formerly known as m|ph, (I love saying that!) is holding another great gadget tradeshow! Drool over the latest cellphones, laptops, accessories. Learn from the seminars! Go mingle with the stars!

Anne Curtis graced the first issue of the shrunk Mobile Philippines magazine

Random Fact: Mobile Pilipinas 2005 was considered as the official launch of Mobile, then known as m|ph. It was Sarah Meier who last graced the cover of the mag and she made an appearance at the event. If our magazine was considered as the largest tech mag ever then, I’ll bet you’d scratch off the thought if you’d seen how… gargantuan the tarp had been.

The next Mobile Pilipinas (2006), we had the four rockin’ ladies of the local music scene: Lougee of Mojofly, Aia of Imago, Hannah of Session Road, and Juris of MYMP. All but Juris arrived at the event to perform.

So… will Anne Curtis grace this year’s event? Hmm. Why don’t YOU find out for yourself? Hehe. Read on…

The annual gadget (lust) tradeshow is this coming October 13 to 15 2006 at the Alabang Town Center titled Mobile Pilipinas 2006: Wireless Possibilities! Join … continue reading this entry.

The Rantings of EVA: Nothing to rant, so much to rave about

“Still Holding On” and “Infrared” by The Rantings of EVA have recently made it to the top 10 in charts in the Alternative Rock genre of Garageband.com, a site where music lovers can hang out, listen and review songs at the same time.

I recently stumbled upon this site and moi, eager to explore new sounds, promptly created my account (search for me, I’m seventhmichiko!)

The Rantings of EVA is from Atlanta, Georgia. Aside from that meager fact, I know nothing about them yet. I like Still Holding On than Infrared at the moment, and this line just keeps floating about my head: “I’m still holding on / To everything’s that gone.”

I need their lyrics and I can’t find any yet… I guess I’ll just have to listen to it more. Sigh. Help?

Hear them roar!

The University of Santo Tomas (UST) Growling Tigers finally ended the 10-year championship drought and won the UAAP Season 69 Basketball tournament, 74-76, against the Ateneo De Manila University Blue Eagles at the deciding Game 3 match just this afternoon at the Araneta Coliseum.

The Loyola-based cagers dominated the first half of the game, until the Espana-based cagers finally managed to inch past the Eagles at 3rd quarter. The two teams tied at 64 at the last quarter and went into overtime. With around 12.5 seconds on the shot clock, Ateneo’s Chris Tiu committed a foul against the Tigers. Second stringer Dylan Ababou failed to nail the first attempt on the free throw line. His second attempt, however, finally gave the Tigers the lead, 75-74.

After JC Intal’s failed attempt to score for the Eagles, Eric Salamat fouled Jun Cortez at 3.7 seconds. Cortez buried the first shot and missed his second, giving the Tigers a two-point edge against the Eagles, 76-74. The Eagles grabbed the rebound but Jai Reyes’ attempt at a long shot missed the basket.

The Tigers were considered as underdogs of this year’s basketball season, carrying a not-so-sterling 7-6 card into the Finals. The Tigers created a huge upset during the elimination when they became the first team to halt the 8-0 winning streak of the Eagles.

Jojo Duncil of UST was given the UAAP Season 69 Finals MVP Award. He scored 8 out of his 18 points during the last three minutes in the overtime.
