Right on the heels of lebrontomavs.com and every other silly Lebron to the <insert team here> movement out there, comes Lebron to the Ginebra Kings sales pitch. Let’s face it, the PBA isn’t what is used to be, what with all the lopsided trades happening out there.
Besides, it’s perfect — The King as a Ginebra Gin King.
If you chanced upon this page and don’t know what the PBA is, it’s a professional basketball league in the Philippines.

Not all games are like Little Big Planet
There was a time when I used to buy around 2-3 games a month. This was back in high school when I still relied on my trusty old Playstation (yep, the gray thingamajig that changed gaming forever). Aside from having the free time to play as much as I wanted, the games were just so damn cheap. Piracy just allowed middle class kids like me to purchase games on a monthly basis. And I didn’t even play or finish all of them.
Almost 10 years later, and I find myself in a different situation. Time no longer permits daily gaming sessions. One thing I’ve learned to value over the years however, is the amount of creativity, imagination, and work that goes into creating a videogame.
This is precisely the reason why:
It is also because of these reasons that I am quite disturbed at some game publishers’ efforts to discourage reselling videogames.
Only my fondness for man’s best friend can lead me away from twice a week basketball practices, once a week back and ankle therapy, and convince me to post this douchebag’s face on my blog. If you follow Philippine basketball, and remember how Red Bull used to play during the Jimwell Torion era, you’ll also remember a bruiser named Jay Mendoza. Apparently, has since brought his dirty play somewhere else.
Read all about it here.
I then called Mr. Jay Mendoza, as owner of “Animals and Things, Pet Specialists”, to inform him that the dog is not a 6-month old puppy, as what his PCCI papers show and based on reports I have received about the dog. I reiterated the same request to be given the correct papers to reflect the dog’s true and correct age. Mr. Mendoza’s reaction took me by surprise. Instead of apologizing for the inconvenience that the incident has caused me, Mr. Mendoza brusquely replied to the effect that it is his word against “them”, and he stands by the PCCI papers of the dog. He said that I can sue him if I want to, then, banged the phone on me!
When I bought my dog Basti more 3 years ago, it didn’t really matter how many red marks he had on his PCCI papers, or who the sire and dam were. I just wanted a Labrador retriever for a pet. I’m also sure that anybody who doesn’t know anything about papers and passes through Animals and Things in Tiendesitas think about buying a pet for the same reasons — to have a pet they can take care of.
This is the exact reason why I am throwing my support behind Dr. Dino Pastor through this post. It is also such a shame that Mr. Henry Babiera of Tiendesitas has chosen to take Jay Mendoza’s side on this. I sincerely hope that no one registers their pets at KCUPI.
Think about it, someone sells you a dog, and has the guts to tell you to return it and give you your money back a year after? How heartless can you get.
