monday night

1. my cousin is pregnant (congrats thrina!). joey and the kids are pretty excited since they've been wanting to add a little girl to their brood. thrina, on the other hand, i'm not quite sure because the last time i checked, she wasn't too keen on having another baby... unless they were guaranteed a girl. she could've changed her mind though.
2. i woke up in the middle of the night last night. 3:30am to be exact. since i couldn't go back to sleep, i decided to watch the 4th game of the pistons-bulls match-up. like game 3, the pistons rallied to cut a 20-point deficit to just 3 with a few minutes remaining in the game. however, unlike game 3, the bulls didn't collapse. it made for quite an exciting game. it sucks though, that the pistons weren't able to close out the series. but i'm pretty sure they'll finish off the bulls in game 5.
   
3. according to inquirer.net's election site, as of 5:50pm today, the top 12 senatoriables are: noynoy aquino, chiz escudero, loren legarda, joker arroyo, manny villar, kiko pangilinan, ed angara, ping lacson, allan peter cayetano, antonio trillanes, gringo honasan, ralph recto. part of me is glad that the likes of richard gomez, cesar montano, tito sotto and victor wood aren't part of that list. but it breaks my heart that trillanes, honasan and lacson are there. oh well.
4. dirk nowitzki is this year's nba mvp. personally, i would've preferred steve nash, but i'm not voting so there's pretty much nothing i can do.
   
5. brothers and sisters is a really good show. good thing abc picked it up for a second season. speaking of which, today is upfronts season in nyc. upfronts is the yearly event networks announce which shows will fill their roster this fall. i'm pretty confident that my favorite shows are going to be around. except for studio 60 on the sunset strip... that makes me sad.
