Half Filipino Erik Spoelstra named NBA's Miami Heat Head Coach

Another Pinoy-Blood makes it into the Big-Time. With Coach Pat Riley stepping down and retiring from coaching, he announces that the new Head Coach will be 13 Year Miami Heat Associate and Assistant Coach Erik Spoelstra.

Here is the Story from Inquirer.net:

MANILA, Philippines—Filipino-American Erik Spoelstra has replaced Pat Riley as the new head coach of Miami Heat after the latter announced his resignation on Tuesday.

"I just want to let everybody know how excited and honored I am to be the next coach of the Miami Heat," said Spoelstra, who has worked for the club for the past 13 years. "I want to thank everybody for having the confidence in me to lead this team on the court and in the future."

Before he assumed his new post in the 2006 National Basketball Association champion team, the 35-year-old Spoelstra served as Riley’s assistant, training young players such as Dwyane Wade.

Spoelstra’s mother is a Filipino, the former Fe Celino of San Pablo City, and his father Jon is of Dutch-Irish origin.

Make us proud Erik, make us proud.

Mabuhay ang Pinoy!

The Ultimate Flattery OR Corporate Espionage?

What do you think of this picture? What is it really? he he.. Of course it is merely a publicity stunt but this kind of thing happens all the time.


A good example is how one company partnered itself up with a new, up and coming company a couple of years ago that had an Innovating New Service only to try to obtain trade secrets, attempt to hire employees and eventually steal the Innovators customers. (Hint hint.. yes this is on Guam and yes, you know who they are! =D) They then tried to ride off of the Innovating companies coat tails and confuse the hell out of the consumers. This is just bad Business Ethics, but hey, Karma will catch up to All of Us, eventually. Whether it is Good or Bad, it will come back to us in the end, because life is like a "Circle",.. he he.. ;)


Although, the sample above is nothing like the funny picture below, since Ronald McDonald is the innovator in this case and maybe he is just trying to see who's burger is better? hehe..

Clue: More about us Men

Hey guys, here is a good one. Girls, here is another good example of how men are. ;) This is an example of how Real Men us Post-Its! HA HA HA.. Ok well maybe only the Real StudMeisters like Stars that have groupies throwing themselves at them and they are having trouble remembering all of their names. he he...

Nice.

Meet Lucky the CAT!!

So, I believe everyone has heard the one about Lucky the Dog, right?

Anyway, have you ever heard of Lucky the Cat? I have, and I have proof! Check it out!!

Aahhh Yes,.. this is like Steak wrapped in Bacon, 2 of my favorite things,.. he he.. If you are a real Man you get it, if you are a girl, it may take you awhile but you'll understand,.. 2 of my favorite things.... get it? ;)

I'll sleep to that. =D

Picture of the Month!

Here it is, I declared this the Picture of the Month because in the words of MC Hammer (do any of you actually remember him? he he) "Pray, Pray, Pray, Pray, we got to pray just to make it today, we got to pray.." =D

I like dogs, especially if they can pray with me like this!! ;)

Urethra!.. I mean Eureka!! I found the Sign.

A couple of posts ago I mentioned a sign that I took a picture of while on the Kwajalein Atoll, well guess what? I found it!! =) You know that saying "To See is To Believe"? Well that is exactly why I took this picture. Imagine my surprise when I saw it on the bike trail that I was on:

After reading the English portion of the sign I immediately looked up while ducking in a somewhat insane fashion, use your imagination. ;D

I decided to take it's picture because it is not everywhere and everyday that you need to Look for Aircraft before Proceeding on a Bike Trail! There's your sign. =D

Some people are actually like this,.. Are You?

Call it lazy, call it lack of initiative, call it whatever you want. We'll call it the "Not My Job Award." =D

We are all guilty of something like this at one point or another,.. not picking up trash, not closing a door,.. not putting the toilet seat back down,.. etc. Some of them though stand out like this one,.. so until the next "Not My Job Award",.. be good. ;)

Truly Inspirational. Tee Hee. =D

I seldom pass along inspirational stuff, but this one got to me.
In these difficult and mean-spirited times, there needs to be a Message of Hope.
We can all use a single image that speaks to us of love, harmony, peace, and joy.
An image that suggests the universality of us all.
I have been sent that image, and I want to share it with all of you.
All I ask is that you take a moment to reflect upon it.

Cheap Fare $120.00 to the Philippines!! ;)

Hey everybody check out the new airliner to the Philippines! Some of you may have already seen it flying around but what the hey:

Anywho the moral of the story is: "Don't believe everything you read, especially on the Internet! " =) Trust me, this will come in handy. My lack of trust for a lot of things, even people has saved me so many times I can't even count.

At any rate, I personally fly Continental most of the time mainly because I take advantage of the miles any way I can. If you live on Guam, one of the first things you need to do is sign up for the Continental Onepass Membership.

By the way, we pinoys tend to discriminate against our own so for me, being a brown skin pinoy flying Continental allows me to fly in a neutral setting. Yep, you read right, we pinoys tend to respect others more than we respect each other, it's a shame but it is true, and you know it. That and our "Crab Mentality" are 2 of our people's most undesireable traits, but let's not focus on that. =) I'll try to concentrate on our positives going forward, unless I go off on one of those tangents.

Hey at least I'm not in denial! ;)

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Whatever obstacles you face today, I hope they can be solved this easily!

HAPPY WEEKEND! =D
