It talks about Anime, Boxing, Manny Pacquiao, Team Pilipinas and Fiba Basketball. It also covers Naruto and Bleach comic books. However, serious Asian society issues and Racism against Asians, Asian achievers in Sports are also discussed. Advocacies are carried on and never forgotten.Oresama Baganihannoreply@blogger.comBlogger574125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315629053760423566.post-22508128134252521692009-11-01T13:18:00.004+08:002009-11-07T12:47:21.761+08:00

Sakura confessed to Naruto, but it only pissed the fans and several Naruto characters too. Too bad for Sakura, it all sounded wrong and deceptive! So, there's a strong chance, it will be a Naruhina pairing. Hinata plays her cards right.Yes, I know Sakura want to spare Naruto from further pain, but it sounded wrong. There's also a possibility she is starting to like Naruto too and doesn't know it.

When I first learned Channel V pitted (Japanese Pop) Jpop vs Kpop (Korean Pop), I was hesitant for I thought Southeast Asia is Kpop country. Every success Kpop has in Southeast Asia is reported religiously.To my shock, Jpop artists thrashed their Kpop opponents in voting. Wow, it's unbelievable! I didn't expect that since Jpop isn't exactly the toast of most Asian entertainment sites (they

Smart Gilas will play Talk N Text today at 2:30 pm. Should we expect another rumble or is just one of those ordinary Philippine Basketball Association games where everyone plays hard and shakes hand after game? On this matter, I don't know but this I know referees will closely inspect Smart Gilas again. The battle for PBA Pride is still ongoing and any team in the league that loses to the

Two days ago, the Burger King Whoppers scored a massive victory over Smart Gilas, 105 - 95. Immediately, some people think with this victory, Burger King and the Philippine Basketball Association trumpeted their superiority over the young upstarts. I'm sorry, but truth be told the game between Burger King and Smart Gilas was a PUBLIC RELATIONS DISASTER for the PBA and Burger King! If the

Oh no, it seems after fighting Steven Luevano, Bernabe Concepcion (27 wins 3 losses 15 Kos) will face another formidable opponent, former Olympic gold medalist (Cuba) Yuriorkis Gamboa (16 wins 0 loss 14 Kos) on the 23rd of January, 2010 for the World Boxing Association World Featherweight Title. Concepcion vs Gamboa looks promising, and this will be the Filipino's second chance to win a

The longest running basketball soap opera known as Japeth Aguilar is now solved! A week ago, many were shocked when Aguilar signed a one-year contract with Burger King but some experts already know what's going on. They reckon Japeth will sign with BK and will be traded to Talk N Text. It is actually one of the proposals fans came up when the hullabaloo broke out two months ago. So, it has come

Finally, the match up I really anticipate Philippine Patriots vs Singapore Slingers in the ASEAN Basketball League. The game is on October 18,2009 at 4:00 PM in Singapore. This is a great time too, for the Patriots to prove some people wrong and win the game. There are Filipino basketball fans who don't rate the Patriots highly esp. after its defeat against Smart Gilas. I think the line-up is

Smart Gilas vs Powerade Team Pilipinas Result. What a great show of team basketball, hard nosed defense and determination Smart Gilas displayed last night? I never expected them to win - THAT BIG!!! The combo of CJ Giles and Japeth Aguilar is a huge headache for Powerade. It could really be frustrating playing against Smart Gilas. CJ Giles manning the paint and blocking shots. Everyone in Smart

Smart Gilas vs Powerade Team Pilipinas though organized for a good cause, make no mistake, this is a chance for some people to get given and pawn somebody. Now, if that is the case, then the game is worth watching. Yeng Guiao, coach of Powerade, has been dishing brutal shots at Rajko Toroman ever since the Serbian took the job as Smart Gilas "project director". Though silent, Toroman proved his

Naruto comic (manga) 466... So it all comes down to this: The Five Kages vs The Akatsuki! I didn't think they would meet this soon, but I'm not complaining. It means more action-packed chapters ahead, although seriously I prefer the fights in anime as it is more exciting plus there's this sound effect that adds up to the excitement. Naruto fans with High Definition Television will definitely

Anybody knows where I can watch Bleach Fade To Black English Subbed? I scrambled fast when I saw a video of it on youtube but there's no english translation. All I see are Chinese subtitles. Boy, those people are quick! I hope by weekend an English translation will be released. Some fans estimate subbers release to be 2 - 3 days after the raw comes out. I hope they are right.

Klitschko vs Arreola Result - I think I've seen this fight before where Klitschko basically pummels his opponent down to submission. Vitali Klitschko systematically destroyed Cristobal "Chris" Arreola and the match ended via tenth round TKO. The Ukrainian's long reach was too much for Arreola to overcome. Klitschko's successfully avoided Arreola's attacks and at the same time unleashing those

Yup, Mayweather vs Marquez generated 1 million pay per view buys. HBO confirmed the news. As a boxing fan, I'm happy. I do hope there will be no more "boxing is dead" write ups. Some say most people who bought the fights were Mexicans hopeful that Marquez, their man, would beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. I don't think this figure will be broken down. It doesn't matter, it is clear that Floyd

It seems Mizukage still likes men, despite her aversion of the word earlier in the Naruto manga (Japanese comic) chapter. She complimented Sasuke as "handsome" but her hatred for Atsuki didn't diminish. Again, Sasuke's in trouble I reckon the Mizukage is one tough woman. Nah, Sasuke can handle her, but his target is Danzo who seems to have escaped.If Mizukage vs Sasuke occurs, the fight won't be

I'm going to watch Vitali Klitschko (37 - 2, 36 KOs) vs Cristobal "Chris" Arreola (27 - 0, 24 KOs) next week (boxing). No joke I think this is a great fight! But where can we watch Klitschko vs Arreola online / live streaming? Yeah, hold on. I'm not sure whether Yahoo will stream some of the fights in this card. I'll update the article soon if I get more info. The match will be on the 26th of

So, what will be the Mayweather vs Marquez result (boxing)? Most people predict Mayweather will win this match EASILY. The keyword there is easily. I think Floyd Mayweather Jr. may beat Juan Manuel Marquez but it will be hard. Give the lightweight champion of the world some credit. Yes, I agree with most assessments Mayweather is bigger, stronger, and faster than Marquez. Worse, I wonder if

All this news about Bautista, Banal and Gorres will not deter me from praising the BEST BOXER in ALA stable - Donnie Nietes. The underrated and often overlooked four time World Boxing Organization minimumweight champion, has yet to defend his title here in the Philippines. Nietes deserves a lot of praise as HE SURVIVED BLATANT CHEATING IN MEXICO (when the round suddenly went more than three

Bautista vs Pleonchit: Hamon Sa Kampeon. Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista has another opportunity to redeem himself and win a world boxing championship. I know its cliche, but that's the situation. Bautista lost to a Heriberto Ruiz last November and he was effectively ostracized by some people as "bum". He said his hands hurt and was again easily dismissed by some as an excuse. It turns out, it was the

As usual, Basketball TV will cover the 2009 Eurobasket starting in the quarterfinals and I diligently got the schedule for our benefit. Yes, the games are pretty intense and high quality. Man, I just like the way the Europeans play basketball. It is the passing game that excites me. There are about three to four passes per play. I don't see this much passing in the National Basketball Association

Sasuke vs Raikage - Naruto doesn't have to worry about Sasuke. He can perfectly handle himself. He is giving the Raikage a hard time in this Japanese comic (manga) chapter of Naruto. Sasuke has two class S ninja victims - Orochimaru and Deidara. He is pretty confident and fueled wonderfully by rage. Man, Raikage just made a World Wrestling Entertainment move and Sasuke's still OK. Yeah I'm

If you are in the United States, why would you want to watch Mayweather vs Marquez online / live streaming when it is available via HBO Pay-Per-View (boxing)? No matter, during Pacquiao vs Hatton fight Yahoo.com streamed some undercard fights free worldwide! I'll try checking that out, come fight night.

Mayol vs Calderon 2 Rematch / Result (boxing) - Rodel Mayol is given another chance to put Ivan Calderon to sleep, but it won't be easy as the degree of difficulty went up.
