Double Whammy for the Miami Heats

It's as if it wasn't upsetting enough that Miami Heats lost the championship, what with all the star players they have, the Miami Herald has to humiliate and publish a headline with "Congratulations Miami" as the main story.

Here's the local article from manila bulletin.

As if getting upset by the "underdog" Dallas Mavericks in six games of the 2011 NBA Finals was not enough, the star-studded Miami Heat got another slap in the face right in its own backyard.

The Miami Herald newspaper ran in its Monday edition an ad congratulating the Heat for their "win" in the NBA — right on the same page where it ran the story of Dallas' series-clinching Game 6 win.

"Congratulations MIAMI!" read the ad by Macy's. Images of the ad were posted on several sites on the Internet, including some blog sites. Also in the ad were images of Heat championship gear.

Miami actually lost 95-105 to the Mavericks Sunday night (Monday morning in Manila).

The Miami Herald's online edition ran a wire story on the faux pas, saying it "has issued a correction and apologized for any inconvenience." 

But the error did not escape the online community.

"This represents the closest LeBron James and the Heat actually will get to the title this season," said Jeff Schultz of the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

In July last year, Miami was touted as an instant contender after LeBron James and Chris Bosh left the Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors respectively to join Dwyane Wade in hunting for a championship ring.

The Heat won its first ever championship in 2006, also against the Dallas Mavericks. — RSJ/KBK, GMA News

Here's an entry of Jeff Schultz:

Miami Herald Macy’s ad declares Heat ‘NBA champions’ (UPDATED)

9:56 am June 13, 2011, by Jeff Schultz

Here's a better photo than earlier version. (Miami New Times.)

(Last update: 4:40 p.m. Added an anecdote Falcons’ fans should remember from the Super Bowl season.)

And now, from the, “Dewey Defeats Truman” file, we give you: “Congratulations Miami!”

In the mother — or maybe that should be “King James” — of all mistakes, the Miami Herald ran a near-full page Macy’s ad in Monday’s newspaper, announcing that Heat “championship” T-shirts and hats were going on sale.

This represents the closest LeBron James and the Heat actually will get to the title this season.

Miami lost Game 6 of the NBA finals and the series to the Dallas Mavericks Sunday night. It’s common for print publications to have two display ads ready to go after championship events. T-shirt manufacturers operate similarly (and then either destroy the shirts for the losing team or send them to charities overseas). What made this mistake unusual was the Heat trailed the series three games to two before

For those who didn't catch the historical reference.

Sunday and weren’t even in a position to clinch. So there was no reason to have the “Heat wins” ad ready.

Falcons fans should be able to relate to this. In January of 1999, the Herald ran a strip headline atop a Super Bowl special section that read: ”Denver Broncos vs. Minnesota Vikings, 6:25 P.M. Tonight.” The Falcons had upset Minnesota in the NFC title game two weeks earlier. The newspaper’s graphics department had already started to design the section and forgot to make the change.

In 2009, the Philadelphia Inquirer ran a Macy’s ad selling Phillies championship T-shirts. But the World Series was still going on — and of course, the Yankees went on to win the title.

The shirts pictured in the Monday’s ad show the Heat logo with the championship trophy. One says, “Champions,” and another reads, “Raise Another Banner.” The Herald posted a correction online Monday.

It’s not like most folks in South Florida haven’t been presumptuous about titles. When James andChris Bosh signed as free agents and joined Dwyane Wade in Miami, the news was celebrated at a press conference, which was complete with lights, music and pyrotechnics. James, the guy with the, “Chosen 1″ tattoo across his back, himself promised eight championships.

Still waiting for the first.

and, here is the retraction from Miami Herald of the wrong headline:

Miami Herald ad mistake: Heat win NBA title

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI -- The Mavericks' win over the Heat was a huge upset for fans in Miami, especially after an ad in the local paper mistakenly congratulates the Heat on the win.
A full-page ad that ran in Monday's Miami Herald reads "Congratulations Miami" next to photos of Heat championship T-shirts and hats from Macy's. One T-shirt reads "Heat 2011 NBA Finals Champions" and the ad shows the Heat's logo on the front of a hat with the words "NBA Champions."
The ad ran under a story about the Heat's loss.
The newspaper issued a correction and apologized for any inconvenience. A Macy's spokeswoman called it "an unfortunate error" and apologized to Heat fans.
The Mavericks beat the Heat 105-95 in Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Sunday in Miami.

Color La Salle's centennial green

By SARAH HILOMEN-VELASCO

June 15, 2011, 6:44pm

MANILA, Philippines — It will be a “green gala” as De La Salle University (DLSU) celebrates its centennial Thursday.

A swirl of activities, from tree-planting to a musical extravaganza topped by a street party, is on tap for the daylong celebration.

A high mass at 8:30 a.m. kicks off the festivities, along with the enshrinement of the relics of the school’s founder, St. John Baptist de La Salle.

At noon, Lasallians will hold a community salu-salo in the school’s various branches. The afternoon program starts at 3 p.m. with the Green Mile parade – students forming a line covering the stretch of the DLSU campus on Taft Avenue in Manila from the South Gate to Gonzalez Hall.

A tableau, “Greenstory: The Lasallian Historical Walk-Through,” will feature the DLSU Harlequin Theatre Guild and DLS-College of Saint Benilde Dulaang Filipino depicting 100 years of Lasallian presence in the Philippines.

Planting of the 1,000,000th tree caps La Salle’s One Million Trees and Beyond project, the school’s main environmental advocacy, initiated by the Lasallian Institute for the Environment (LIFE).

Lasallian artists De La Salle Innersoul, La Salle Dance Company and the Animo Squad will perform in a “Cheers! Dance and Band Concert,” along with popular bands such as Peryodiko, Kjwan, and Sandwich.

At 7 p.m., Lasallians will party with homegrown celebrities in “Isang Daan, Sangandaan Centennial Show,” an all-star concert directed by Rowell Santiago and with musical direction by Louie Ocampo.

The concert will feature Gary Valenciano, Ryan Agoncillo, The Akafellas, Barbie Almalbis, Dingdong Avanzado, Enchong Dee, Dingdong Eduque, Mike Enriquez, Edu Manzano, Kitchie Nadal, Carlo Orosa, Jett Pangan, Cynthia
Patag, Princess Velasco, Epy Quizon, Zia Quizon, Jose Javier Reyes, JM Rodriguez, Randy Santiago, The Tux, Gabriel Valenciano, Iya Villania, and Nyoy Volante.

“Strings & Stanzas” combines an acoustic performance cum poetry reading featuring Lasallian Youth Orchestra and the Malate Literary Folio

Then comes a band concert featuring Bloomfields, Taken by Cars, Wednesday After, and AJKA, winner of the 2010 Nescafe Soundskool Comexplorationpetition will perform in the “Animo!” street party.

The night skies light up with a pyromusical show and concert featuring, The Dawn in “Loud & Proud.”

De La Salle University — Manila is an internationally recognized Catholic university which aims to become a leading research university in Southeast Asia.

Anyway, what do you remember when you were in DLSU? Me? Well, I can still remember these:

• ID number is 9319751.
• Our block's tambayan is right in front of our building, Velasco,
• College Canteen's ultra famous spaketchup or Ketcupetti to others,
• Garahe just right beside Gokongwei Building,
• William Shaw Little Theater during college week,
• Aristocrat at LS Building,
• The Marian Quadrangle during picture taking,
• Of course, the football field where we usually take a peek at Epi Quizon in action,
• UAAP Basketball where PE teachers require their students but eventually you'll be addicted to,
• My super loved volleyball court in front of SJ Building,
• The school library which is fully airconditioned and by far the largest I had ever been to,
• the uber friendly Brother Andrew (may he rest in peace),
• and who would forget the catwalk where Ryan Agoncillo hung out and Mang Jack pacing back and forth?

Tuloy, I miss college days. 

Before anything else, check out DLSU's website for the list of activities for the Centennial Celebration.


And, I might as well share these videos posted on Youtube.

plus this video by Chuck Gutierrez which he posted on his video wall in Facebook.

Anyway, Happy 100 years of superb teaching DLSU (I need not elaborate on this considering the tuition fee they ask)! I'm proud to be Green!

Sony PSP 2

I know, I know! This is a super late discovery already. If it weren't for the post of a friend of mine, I wouldn't have found out too. I mean, let's face it, I'm not like my youngest brother who's techie and all. But nevertheless, even if it's a bit late, I know my kids would really want to have one of these.


Here's the trailer of the New Sony PSP 2.

Rockmelt's New Look

I think, I like Rockmelt's new look better. What do you think?

No Smoking Ordinance

It started in Davao and with a lot of effort exerted by the then City Mayor, we finally became smoke free. Although there are certain areas that are made as exemption, these are the open areas, where one can still smoke. Public utility vehicles are a big no no to smoking. Plus fines are given to anybody who'll be caught.


Just this month, Manila has already made its move to be a Smoke Free City also. Hooray to the Manila administrators. This will give a lot of "pogi points" to Manila especially on Philippine Tourism. 


And, aside from that, there are establishments also who are starting to be conscious with the No Smoking Ordinance, one of which is Starbucks. Here is a copy of their memo and please let's support the administration toward a smoke free Philippines. This is actually a picture taken from divasoria's twitpic photo file. 

ebook reader

I'm a bookworm, I admit! Thank you to my highschool friend, Donna Reve. I used to buy books from book sale shops before in Manila by different authors but the most books I bought were from Robert Ludlum's Collection. 


After I had kids, my book collection went from a few, since I didn't bring most of them home while the others were left at mom's, to nothing. Why? Sad to say, my kids think they're scratch papers and started scribbling on them and torn them apart. Ouch!


So, after a few years, when the last book I bought went kaput(!), I resorted to reading them on the phone (Thank you to mobile applications, jar files, that enable one to download, play games and read!), thus, came my fascination of searching for good reads, mobile ebooks, at mobiles24 and mobile9. It started out fine until I ran across a recent glitch, the Harry Potter 5: The Order of the Phoenix, and that's when my frustration began.


I was actually reading through it, not even minding the absence of the parenthesis (") mark on dialogues, until I reached 40% of the book. It went basically crazy, jumping from one line to another, some were cut. That was when I decided to stop reading the book and started searching for another version when I came across this reader, Foliant by casro.

Apparently, I tried finding some information on the software and found out that Foliant applications are as basic as it sounds, the text version. So, documents saved on notepad, with .txt extensions, are readable through Foliant.


Currently, only a few books can be found with that format while most of them are in Acrobat files. Software conversion would come in really handy on these, or, that's what I just did with the current ebooks that I downloaded.


Anyhow, for us bookworms who love to read even inside a car, I would recommend this application for phones as basic as mine, Nokia C3 or lower version phones.


Cool huh?

Mobbed!

What could be a better proposal than this? Plus, it was an impromptu wedding to make it much sweeter. 

Google Doodle

I had always like the google homepage that displays on my web browser everytime I open up a new tab. I like how they constantly change the designs of the word "Google" and how it was animated. Cool, I must say.


Anyway, I ran across this Youtube video on twitter which was retweeted by @jimparedes. 

Ipad 2 Review

Almost everyone I followed on twitter has already bought their own ipad 2. I haven't and I don't plan to buy one, seriously. 


Anyhow, I ran across this video of a review of Ipad 2 (funny version). I hope it makes everyone's day. So, smile! 

On a more serious note, here is the official review of Ipad 2 which was released this year.

Breaking Dawn Trailer

Who didn't love the Twilight Series? Who didn't love the Edward, Bella and Jacob love triangle? I think majority of us became an instant fan and ultimately began making up and classified ourselves to either Team Edward and Team Jacob groups.


I for one had read the book after the first movie hit the cinemas. And practically finished the whole Twilight Collection, Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, for less than a month.


Though I wasn't lucky to see the movie in the cinemas, I still had downloaded separate copies of the movie which I deleted after watching their version. 


Naturally, I get frustrated on how the movies were presented since the books were nicer. Nevertheless, I'm still excited to see how they're going to make the last sequel exciting to the viewers.


Anyway, here's the official trailer of Breaking Dawn which is going to hit the cinemas in the last quarter of this year. 

Well, in the meantime, I have to do some rereading before the movie comes out. 

Save by the bell, er, monthly period.

I was laughing my heart out when I saw this photo courtesy of a twitter user, @niccolocosme, but honestly, it was a good save! 

Dave and Jenn

Just this year, our youngest brother, Dave, got married to her girlfriend for more than 4 years, Jenn. That was the first church wedding our family had since my hubby and I got married through a civil wedding. 

To make the long story short, it was a simple but a wonderful wedding. One can feel the love the couple has for each other. As sentimental as I am, I still couldn't help but feel happy and teary eyed for my brother and Jenn.


This blog entry is meant to share a few of the many captured videos edited by Motion Reel, Jenn's college friends and their official photographer.

Modern Day Hero

Philippine's Independence day which is on the 12th of June is coming already and with this commemoration, Yahoo is looking for nominees for modern day heroes. 


Here is a copy of their article:


On June 12, we celebrate our Independence Day. We remember the day when we finally gained our freedom from the colonial rule of Spain. We celebrate this day by flying the Philippine colors, followed by celebrations in various key locations, including Kawit, Cavite where General Emilio Aguinaldo unfurled the flag and read the Declaration of Independence.

Each year, we recall the struggles of many Filipinos more than a century ago. They fought so their voices would be heard. They risked their lives for freedom. They went up against colonizers who had far superior weapons. They won despite very crude weapons. Their will kept them going.

As we prepare to mark that red-letter day, we at Yahoo! Philippines aim to inspire with an initiative that will recognize seven modern-day Filipino heroes.

These heroes should embody the Yahoo! values of being human, inventive, relevant, and, of course, fun.

These extraordinary individuals should have made a significant and continuing impact on the Philippine society, serving as a local role model to their own communities. They should also be influential—even if their efforts have not gotten any publicity.

These seven Filipinos will make up our "Pitong Pinoy" (Seven Filipinos) who will first be identified by you, the Yahoo! community, and then culled by the Yahoo! Philippines jury.

Thus, this is an official call for nomination for these modern-day heroes. To qualify, they should be living Filipinos nominated by a community or individuals.

When you nominate a person, please provide a brief explanation (not more than 200 words) of his or her accomplishments and why you are nominating him or her. The explanation can include links and photos of the individual, along with contact information of the nominee and those submitting nominations. Please email your nominations to ypitongpinoy@yahoo.com.ph.

The top seven nominees will be announced on June 12, 2011 or on Independence Day on Yahoo! Philippines' website. (ph.yahoo.com).

Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you soon!

Country Editor for the Philippines
Yahoo! Southeast Asia

So, if you happen to know someone who passes the qualifications that a "Pitong Pinoy" should have, don't hesitate to submit at the email posted with this article.

New Pepsi Commercial

Ran into a pepsi commercial which was posted as a facebook link on my sister's wall page. I find it really funny.

Watch!

Is it spinning?

Unlike others, I don't have this "passion" over art. If I see one, I get a good but quick glimpse and move on to the next one just to do the same. I'm not the typical person who goes "ooh" and "aah" over a good art.


Well anyway, I saw this picture courtesy of yfrog, it's an extension of twitter where you can upload photos. 


My head went dizzy to be honest. So, what do you think, is it spinning? (For a bigger image, click the photo) 

Daily Conversations with my smart kids

As far as I know, majority of the mothers think their kids are super adorable specially when they begin to get curious and ask questions. 


Normally, my Sundays with my children are spent by them asking questions and I, answering every single one of them. Other than that, their daily activity would consist of running and playing on the street, basketball and biking. 


As far as I can remember, some of these conversations happened early this summer.


          One Sunday, I was cuddling my son Kean,
                    Me: Kean, wag ka munang mag girlfriend ha.
                    Kean: Mama, pwede na palang mag girlfriend ang Grade 
                    2?
          Me and my big mouth


          Since RH Bill is uber popular these days, I had thought it hard 
          many times before on how I would approach with such 
          questions.
                    Khyle: Mama, paano ka nagkakaron ng baby?
                    Me: Well, ganito yun. Ang girls, like mama, we have 
                    egg cells. Ang boys naman like you have sperm cells. 
                    When the egg cells and sperm cells meet, they become 
                    babies.


          The twins has been asking me countless of times for new bags.
                    Me: Kean, tiis na lang muna ha. Next time na tayo 
                    bumili ng bags.
                    Kean: Ayaw man namin magtiis?


          Another Sunday, my youngest son and I walked to the main road 
          to ride a jeep HB1.
                    Shoti: Mama, bili ka ng car.
                    Me: Naku, mahal ang car, next time na lang pag 
                    nakaipon na tayo. Bakit pala? May motor naman si Papa.
                    Shoti: E, hindi naman tayo kasya? 
          I forgot, hindi na nga pala talaga kami kasya. 


          Just last night, I overheard my twins talking inside the CR 
          while they were taking a bath.
                    Kean: Ano sabi Khyle?
                    Khyle: Si Rona, may crush daw sayo.
                    Me (intruding): oist, mga bata pa kayo ha. maya na 
                    yang crush crush na yan.


Although sometimes, I'm greatly bothered by the way they think, advanced at times, I still have to admit and tell myself over and over again that they're growing up. If only kids can stay as kids forever. *sigh*

Manny Pacquiao and his HP Veer commercial

Aside from being a world boxing champion, he's now one of the most sought after product endorser. No wonder he can spend so much as Php 1,000,000 for a Hermes bag.


Watch this video

Mini Get Together

Finally! Our mini get together pushed through. 


We dined at Mooon Cafe, Mexican Restaurant, which was a pretty early dinner (5:30 PM) and since we had time, we went to Starbucks for a cup of coffee.

Well, all I can say is, with good food and good company, I'm sure there'll be follow up events after the first one. 


Oh, before I forget, I had my first Grande of Cafe Latte at Starbucks. 

RH Bill and more

So, almost everyone in the Philippines is now aware of what the RH Bill is. Honestly, I'm opposed to having it approved and I don't want to argue with everyone who agrees with the bill but I wanted to just stress the reasons on why I'm opposing.

Before the government thought of passing it as law, artificial contraceptions are already out in the market. Condoms are displayed in grocery stores, pills can be bought at drugstores without prescriptions. Tubal ligations are done at a non-sectarian hospital. IUD insertions are available at Ob-gyne doctors. These are just a few to mention.

Though I'm an anti-RH bill person, I still think that education is the best way to help the people instead of handing out free contraceptives. 

If we're going to open our eyes to reality today, I think, most of the large families in the Philippines come from the poor. While those belonging to the average families have four children, max.

Plus, if we're going to argue with women getting sick, we can't always blame sex. Have we even considered the side effects of these contraceptions? Pills, condoms, etc? 

So what do we need the RH Bill for? 

Anyway, enough of the RH Bill. Here's a video that was shared in a friend's facebook account. Watch.

Blackberry Deal

This is actually interesting. 

Toxic Thursday

Well, toxic Thursday started when I received a call last night.


Night shift supervisor informed me that they had produced the wrong die cut design. Although it wasn't as plenty as the ones before, it still is something to be looked up on.


This morning, we had an immediate informal meeting in the laboratory. The usual, what to do, what must be done and what instructions are to be set as priorities.


Right now, I'm making a memo. I hope this one will be followed by heart. 


Anyway, I went to Acculab just this Monday to have my blood checked for T3, T4, TSH. Why? Well, I was supposed to have a tooth extraction last week. Our family dentist told me that she won't do it unless my Endocrinologist give her an authorization for a tooth extraction otherwise, I'll end up having Thyroid Shock if I'm not ready for one. So, that's why I had to go to the lab for blood extraction. 


When the results came out, I wasn't surprised to find that some of them are above normal (oh no again) as I was expecting it since I'd been having observations of palpitations the past few months. So, now, I'm trying to fix an appointment date with my endocrinologist as I'm prepped up for a good scolding.


So, wish me luck! *grins*

konti na lang memory ko.....

I finally saw the new tv ad from McDonald's via a friend and I find it really cute.

Without further ado, here's the latest commercial from McDonald's.

Gray Hair add-on

I'm honestly considering to transfer my kids to another school next year. What with the 20% increase on books and tuition fees, I don't know how I'm gonna survive financially anymore.


Sending a kid to school is expensive now. We're living only on monthly paychecks, no extra income and all. The increase in tuition fee is definitely going to be a burden this year and is going to cripple us.


Cost of living in Davao isn't that high compared to Manila, but then again, companies isn't as considerate in giving the right salary for professionals. Although I must say, compared to other professionals, I still have a little edge. But even that edge isn't of great help at all. 


Unless, I find a good solution for all of these, I'm pretty sure we have to consider transferring them next year.


So now, I must say, this is one of the setbacks our family is facing this year, financially. And, it's going to mean more gray hair after school year ends. I hope God will still be gentle. 

Isn't this special?

I ran across this video through a friend on Facebook who shared this link to her friends. I just wanted to share it with you since it touched me after I watched this video. 

Booooo

I had never seen a ghost, nor, do I wish to see one.


Here is a picture taken at our workplace. Apparently, there are only 4 people inside the plant at that time this picture was taken. 3 of them were in the picture while the other one is taking the picture. So, who's the other guy at the back?

Anyway, I brought up this blog post since this morning, one of my co-workers in the plant told me that last night, somebody saw another ghost near my office. This time it's a lady, wearing white with long hair. 


So, do you believe in ghosts? I do, yet, I don't want to see one. 

Mind reader

Mind boggling on how accurate the result was. I even tried it three times and it amazes me that each time I pick out a number, the results were right.


Without further ado, check out this site.

Royal Wedding = Modern Cinderella?

I'm pretty sure a lot of us were tuned in to watch the Royal Wedding, and pretty much, almost everyone loved the couple, who doesn't? 

But, honest to goodness, I really find this picture hilarious.
