#ONSMASH /// BIG K.R.I.T "BOOBIE MILES" X "4EVA N A DAY"

PhotobucketOkay... I won't front, the only reason why I bumped this track initially was because of the sports reference from one of my favorite books. If you know your sports lit, Boobie Miles was the high school phenom from "FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS" whose seemingly invisible high school career met a very abrupt and tragic ending.

But after listening to this, wow! This is on some winning tip! I won't go deep technical on it... Just know that the sample, the lyrics, the whole deal made me feel good. Simple as that. Plus, if you got someone big like @MRSOULFIESTA co-signing, then you know it must be fire!

Google BIG K.R.I.T.'s mixtape "4EVA N A DAY", then down that. #DopeShit



The only difference between a winner and a loser is a winner plays until he wins.

LRLS GUIDE TO THE FINER THINGS IN LIFE: ICON BRONCO

Photobucket
I'm big on vintage cars. Don't get it twisted, I love the new models rolling out the assembly line... But I'd rather have a classic. I'd rather have a '54 Gullwing than the fastest, meanest, newest S-Class - even with all the possible power options on it.

One thing about classics though, is you never 'f with it... You know what I'm saying? If you got a '74 2-door Corolla, for the love of God don't put neons on it, or spoilers or spinners or none of that BS, jolog jeje-crap... That is definitely not the business. When bringing it back to life, a classic should remain what it is: a classic.

This though, breaks that rule... And I ain't mad!

Fabricated and perfected by California-based ICON, The new BRONCO is birthed from old, a bit banged up, pre-loved '66 Broncos originally manufactured by Ford. The body panels are treated, detailed, buffed and perfected... And the retro goodness stops there.

The guts of this truck is all new and chock full of tech! From the military supplied axles and chassis, heavy duty suspension, to it's new 420-hp V-8 power plant. Dials, gauges, and the interior as a whole carries the utilitarian DNA of the vintage Bronco... Modern life advantage with old world cool.

A DAY IN THE LIFE, Vol. "WELL OILED MACHINE"

Right after Titan Taft's opening, I hung out with Cess and her girl friends. I wasn't my usual self and I felt so lethargic in the party... Alcohol did not do the trick, and I was not in the mood for coffee.

I felt so light-headed. And then I realized I never had a decent meal all day. I realized it right after I brought my girl home, which meant I was already alone in the car... and I had a gastronomic free pass to eat whatever I want!

This came to mind!

Sometimes lavish dishes and expensive flavors take a back seat to nostalgia and the familiar. BURGER MACHINE was very much part of my childhood. My father was a professional race car/rally car driver back in the TRD days of Dante Silverio and Team Toyota, and I can remember, whenever he would take me to their garage, a hulking piece of colorful metal stood prominently outside. I wasn't sure if it was the smell of grilled burgers or gasoline... But it smelled good. So my father would buy me a burger just to get me out of the dangerous pit.

They say when you're hungry everything tastes good so don't quote me on this: The burger I had that night, was the best burger I ever had. Yes sir. I felt like a kid again.

Does not look like it, but it can satisfy a really hungry belly.

Fried bread, grilled meat, coleslaw, and extra cheese. Cardiac arrest never looked nor tasted this good.

NIKE ZOOM HYPERFUSE LOW iD - JEREMY LIN PE


Photobucket
My girl is now a hardcore basketball fan. Thanks to, in her own words, the very cute Jeremy Lin.

Then over the weekend, we went around Greenhills to chill, and naturally we had to pass by the tiangge. And I was amazed x shocked to see Jeremy Lin knock-off jerseys on virtually every kiosk in the area! Home, Away, and even St. Patty's day unis!

When we got home, we decided to just stay in, watch TV, and check our emails in bed. I saw this design post by @ajdimarucot of ajdimarucot.com. Just for kicks, he did the dopest logo study for Jeremy Lin. It was mindblowingly good... LVL ASIAN stuff! #NoRACIST

#LINSANITY truly never stops. It's everywhere! If you hate it, sucks to be you (whuttup Pretty Boy?). But for the majority of us, it is hard not to love the skill, the humility, and seemingly "lightspeed fast" rise to elite status of this unassuming young man from the Bay Area.

NIKE BASKETBALL is quick to recognize his greatness, that is why they christened him with his own pair of NIKE ZOOM HYPERFUSE LOWS via NikeID for the All-Star Weekend.

The Rising Star from New York by way of Harvard wore a new Nike Zoom Hyperfuse Low iD basketball shoe during Orlando’s Big Weekend, which began last Friday evening. Customized for Lin, the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse includes mesh on the upper for lightweight breathability and a seamless fit. Lin’s shoe of choice is ideal for players with his versatility, and it features Nike Zoom technology for a soft, yet responsive, cushioning system.

Available for customization on NIKEiD.com in the United States, the shoe can be customized with colors throughout and marks on the tongue top and collar. Consumers can replicate the exact customization options for this shoe created for Jeremy Lin, which can be found at NIKEiD.com.

TITAN TAFT OPENING EVENT

Photobucket
In our family, all men are expected to go out in to the world as La Sallites. Whether you graduate from LSGH, or Zobel (like my brother and I), or got your degree from DLSU... It does not matter. As long as you got some La Sallian green in your blood, you're good.

I'm a 3rd generation La Sallite, and I've heard my fair share of legendary La Sallian stories. Like when back in the day the St. Joseph Building towered over everything, to why there is a hall inside that was named after our family, and how that guy is related to us, to how the DLSC vs ADMU NCAA rivalry became very violent and people would see it as "just another game" (DLSU was called DLSC then).

But one story stands true until this very day. There is no place like the Taft Ave. billiard halls. My father and uncle would waste away their day, allowance included, in that place! If yous a sucker on pool, it's best to just stay out of the room. Those game halls are now pretty much a part of DLSU's long standing heritage as much as any building inside the campus.

But one establishment is out to match the legend of the smokey pool dens of Taft Ave. Minus the shady atmosphere, of course! Years from now, people will talk about this place, and how it changed Animo Ave.'s landscape for the better.

TITAN opened their 4th store in Taft avenue last Friday... And it was nothing short of amazing. Lucky for me, I was right smack in the middle of history - on the very night it opened - perfect story to share with the my future La Sallite kids and grand kids!

Here are the photos from that epic night.

NIKE BASKETBALL "ALL-STAR" PACK

Photobucket
Once a year, the world's greatest ball players gather together to pay homage to the game that they love - to celebrate competition, and to highlight the beauty of the sport. They call it the NBA All-Star Weekend. And this year, it's happening in bright and sunny Orlando.

It is also the perfect time to give back to the fans for the support they have given by putting on a great show. Most fans look forward to the activites and games, but some take it a step further. Literally. Some folks, myself included, look forward to the footwear as much as the competition!

On that note, Nike Basketball is proud to unveil key colorways celebrating its pinnacle players competing in basketball's big weekend in Orlando later this month. Taking inspiration from space exploration, the collection features a galactic theme on the LeBron 9, Nike Zoom KD IV and Nike Zoom Kobe VII System. Graphics pay homage to the supernova – arguably the most powerful force in the universe – while the outsoles glow in the dark and individual ‘mission patches’ adorn each shoe as a nod to the accolades astronauts receive.
