COH Oct/Sept 2009: JOHN CRUZ and ARI SALUD

We are on a track. As I started my first Cosmo Online Hunk (COH) with JOHN SPAINHOUR, I am now tracking back all or most of the COH's featured hunk. John Cruz is the COH October 2009, a local model in the Philippines. 

"This 23-year-old aspiring nurse is three-fourths Pinoy and one-fourth Puerto Rican, so just imagine that beautiful mix of genes. The son of a retired Air Force officer, he was born in Clark, Pampanga but has also called Texas, California, and Japan his home." - COH

 On the other hand, Ari Salud - a former ADMU athlete for the Rowing Team and an Economics major from the same school, was also featured for the September 2009 edition.

"Ari has that all-masculine moreno look going, a wide smile that could make any woman melt, and beneath that schoolboy charm, a chiseled body crafted by years of dedication." -COH

UAAP Season 75: UAAP Volleyball Schedule

It's volleyball season again in the UAAP and I know most of you are excited just like me to see the ball rolling and players diving in and out of the court. Last season was phenomenal [mostly for the Women's Tournament] as DLSU Lady Spikers swept the elimination and took their 2nd consecutive title and while FEU Tamaraws stopped the building tradition of being a bridesmaid, in effect, put an end to the 4th consecutive CHAMPION titles of UST Tigers Spikers. 

Many rookies will arise and veteran players will play their hearts out. Who will prevail in this year's season? Ten days TO GO!!! For the Men's Division, FEU and DLSU might be the strongest team with UST's key players already graduated. As it is not fully televised [only the Semi and Finals] we cannot know for sure. In the Women's League, DLSU and ADMU are the most anticipated teams [they also the final contenders last season] but not to take away anything from UST Tigresses who also came strong last year despite their losses and injuries. 

Opening day on December 1, 2012 at SM Mall of Asia, THE ARENA. Games will start at 9:00AM for Men's and 2:00PM for Women's. The Women's Volleyball Tournament will be simultaneously aired in ABS-CBN Sports Channel - Studio 23. 

THE UAAP SUPERSTARS

I stayed for the night until the last Sunday's (11.11.12) episode of Gandang Gabi Vice was over. Yes, that is because of the two basketball superstars from two university rival - ADMU and DLSU. It is undisputed that these two - KIEFER RAVENA and JERON TENG are the two most popular personalities in UAAP Basketball today.

Kiefer being a sophomore and Jeron as a rookie gained popularity through their great basketball abilities and charm inside the court which also paved way for them to become brand endorsers for numerous products - Nike, Enervon, LG to name a few.

In the last GGV episode, Kiefer was more of a charmer (and I like him) than Jeron who is slightly timid. The Ateneo Blue Eagle player is more comfortable infront of the camera rather than the Green Archer Jeron. The "GUITAR" part was really hilarious, talking about CONFIDENCE. You should watch Keifer's Dougie and Jeron's Gang Nam too. Nonetheless, they are both good looking with superb sport abilities that I will greatly anticipate and watch for the next UAAP Season to come. 

UAAP CHEERDANCE COMPETITION 2012

It is UAAP Cheerdance Competition once again. The highly anticipated event among the UAAP members school and other high schools, colleges, and universities in the Philippines aside from the ongoing basketball in senior and junior levels.

Will UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES get there three consecutive title from this year's event? Or will the DLSU ANIMO PEP SQUAD will make their routine a topnotch performance than last year to stop their bridesmaid tradition and get their first UAAP Cheerdance crown? Or the UST's SALINGGAWI DANCE TROUPE will make a comeback and set another 5 year consecutive titles just like they did from 2002-2006? Or will FEU CHEERING SQUAD will make another record this year to add a +1 to their 13 wins (mixed medals) since formation of the competition.

Who is your bet? Who among the eight university members have the edge to snatch the crown from UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES? Who will be this year Crowd Stunner?

Lets all find out today at THE ARENA, Mall of Asia in Pasay City this afternoon with simultaneous broadcast in ABS-CBN Sports Studio 23 [Channel 23]. The event was made possible by Samsung which is the major sponsor since 2006.

This will be the first time also that the host university will not host the event but this year, the depending champion -  UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES will anchor the 2012 UAAP CHEERDANCE COMPETITION.
