Blog Outsourcing - July 2, 2012 edition

Greetings and welcome to the latest edition of The Morning After.

It's already the second half of the 2012. Hope the reader has had a productive first half of 2012. It has been an interesting stretch for everyone and hope the remainder of the year makes it even better.

Meanwhile, the NBA season may have concluded on the court, the mantra of the swoosh remains true and legitimate. Basketball Never Stops.

The NCAA already has commenced action last week. The big buzz was naturally, how 5 rookies and a sophomore beat a veteran squad. The rival league UAAP already is making preparations for its campaign, which will begin on July 14. They even have a "Call Me Maybe" meme ready.



In the pros, the quest for a semifinal seat will need a playoff. One of the teams involved has Mario West as their reinforcement. And coming soon, a Legend gets his jersey retired.

The NBA Draft just ended, and Summer League beckons. Of course, there's the drama of free agency. And the quest for Olympic Gold. Being a basketball fan in the Motherland is just blissful.

Here forth are the links after the jump.

Blog Outsourcing - 11/14 edition

Hello and Welcome to the latest edition of The Morning After (which has somewhat morphed into some kind of a weekly thing).

So, there was a fight this Saturday / Sunday. A long awaited fight. Featuring two pound-for-pound greats. One from Mexico, the other, the Philippines. Much has been said before, during and after the match. Lot of debate whether Dinamita won, or should it be a draw, but one thing for sure, come Cinco de Mayo 2012, the Fighting Congressman will be facing someone.



Here forth are the links after the jump to stuff you may not necessarily have missed during the weekend.

Blog Outsourcing - 5/30 edition

Welcome to the special Memorial Day edition to The Victory Formation.

Just to remind everyone, Memorial Day is an American Federal Holiday that they observe yearly at the last Monday of May, in which this year falls on the 30th. This commemorates all those who died while serving in the United States military.

Like most of the people in the United States, I am also getting the day off. To all my Stateside friends, I hope you get to do the right thing and honor the ones who gave their lives to defend your country from threats known or unknown.

It has been a while since I got the weekend off, and I really need it to get some rest, relaxation and time to stay at home. Unfortunately, most of my family got the chance to go out and frolic. At least, I get to do some more editing of photos and finish some blogs that I really need to go and write about, I hope.

How does the U.S. Embassy here honor Memorial Day? Recently, the U.S.S. Carl Vinson docked in our shores for a routine port call and then some. That aircraft carrier is the so-called funeral hearse for Osama Bin Laden. Some of my blogger friends luckily were able to go on-board and check the dock out.

Here is a nice picture of the U.S.S. Carl Vinson in Manila before we give way to the links.

Blog Outsourcing 11/24

Welcome to the first Monday edition of the Victory Formation.

This week was the first time I had to reformat my laptop. It finally conked out and I sort of panicked. Had it repaired to the nearest technician and prayed that all of the important stuff gets retained. Honest to goodness, it was secured with everything intact. Yes, my precious pictures, music, videos and documents are still here.

The best thing about having my laptop reformatted is that I decided to dump Windows Vista and go with Windows 7 as my OS. Had to reinstall applications that I use, like Destroy Twitter and Skype.

I presume that we will need a new set of picture logos. I hope they can produce more classics on the way.

Onto the links:

Yes, the story on the classic GIF earlier.

He definitely pulled it off. He can now do the Booker T routine.

Looks like this will take a while.

Someone posted the video yesterday. Here are some pictures with captioning. The best thing about the clip was that how Rudy gave the Heat bench a death stare.

This one is for Danny Ferry. And Danny Green.

So what if we are 1-13. Blake Griffin owns Timofey Mozgov.

Is the best way to waylay a woman is to say that she's a man?

You can never take away baseball from Lou Pinella.

This was definitely the after-effects of his brief foray into cannibalism.

RIP Pat Burns.

He got Knocked Out. (here's the clip).

He also got knocked out. (here's the clip)

Blake Hoffarber. Feels like he's been in college since forever.

Still the same issues for Tar Heel Nation.

Good news for Kwsn & Cycledan.

I know Lefty will dismiss this news as irrelevant, but this is important, for me in particular, here in the Motherland.

This happens when you have a really bad loss.

Welcome to the BCS Top 10, Michigan State.

Nawlins is sizzling, get even better, and we face them next... *smh*

Who knew the Raptors can beat the Celtics...

Perfection? Only if he will get punched in the throat.

More bad juju in South Beach.

Who wants the Astros?

The Pirates continue the purge. Who wants Zach Duke, Andy Laroche and Delwyn Young?

Terry Collins as the cure for what ails the Mets.

Congrats to the Colorado Rapids. and Hello to Sporting Kansas City.

Gus Johnson covered this game. That's all that needs to know.

And because it was Survivor Series.
