May 14, 2008; Pistons advances to East Finals!

Today, we first went to Pasig because my dad will check if the machine he delivered was in perfect tip-top shape and in good working condition. After which, we ate lunch at Tiendesitas. Seafoods galore! Uber full and delicious! Then, we went to LTO to get an application form for student's permit. And as a requirement for the student permit, we went to BIR for me to get my TIN number, and within minutes, I got it! I can give it to LTO for them to issue me my student's permit to drive. So there!

And now, the continuing coverage of the 2008 NBA Playoffs!

First up, Game 5 between the Orlando Magic and the Detroit Pistons, wherein the Pistons held on and won the game, thus advancing to the East Finals, 91-86. Note that the Pistons are without the services of their All-Star guard Chauncey Billups because of an injury. Rip Hamiton led the Pistons with 31 points and 4 steals, while Antonio McDyess with 17 points and 11 rebounds. The Magic were led by Hedo Turkoglu with 18 points and 9 rebounds. The Pistons are now awaiting for the winner of the Cavs-Celtics series, whom they will face in the East Semis.

I will post the results of those games once I get back here in the city, because tomorrow morning, we will be heading on to our province to visit our relatives back there. So that would also mean that the early results for American Idol will be post late. I would like to apologize for it. But I will still post the results here in my site, no worries.

Who will be eliminated tomorrow, we'll all find out, only on American Idol! :)
