ANYTHING GOES SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT
SYDRIFIED IRL


FIRST TIME AT OPUS MALL
I didn’t know its actual name before, but I definitely knew the spot—mostly because of that huge, super bright LED billboard I always see when crossing the Ortigas flyover on my way home.


FANTASY BASKETBALL IS NOT F'N GAMBLING!!!
Look, I think gambling is bad, and I really want the government to regulate it. But to regulate fantasy basketball???


NEW BACK COVER
As I slung my bag over my shoulder, it slipped. A loud bang echoed inside my bag.


THOUGHTS | THE BULLY HAD IT COMING
There’s a video going around where a teen finally snapped after being kicked, hit, and insulted by a group of kids in a computer shop....


THE STATE OF STATS | AUGUST 2025
Why drag and drop when I can just copy and paste directly from my MS Excel worksheet?


HUNDRED EYES
So last Saturday, my friends and I hit up After Hours to answer the age-old question: Why the hell aren’t we drinking on a dry, carefree night?


MY TRIBUTE
I’d heard of Fritz’s reputation even before I joined NBN/PTV. But I’ll never forget how kind and approachable he was that day.


JUST CHECKING IN | THE HALFWAY MARK OF 2025
Being a copywriter is already draining. I don’t want to use my downtime adding more stress.


STATISTICAL OVERLOAD | 2025 PHILIPPINE MIDTERM ELECTIONS WINNERS
This post is all about numbers—not opinions. I’ll do my best to keep it as objective as possible and focus purely on the electoral records.


THOUGHTS | ELECTION DAY
Lesser evils make more sense to me than idealists who shake up the system but can’t fix the mess they started.


THOUGHTS | 2025 PHILIPPINE MIDTERM ELECTIONS
And if you're thinking of leaving the country because the "wrong" candidates win—where exactly are you headed?


THOUGHTS | DUMBASS NUISANCE VLOGGERS
If you’re visiting an Asian country, don’t come here just to piss off the locals!


DOODLING LIKE HECK | MARCH 2025
Once again, a huge shoutout to every Google search, Facebook page, Instagram post, and Pinterest board I shamelessly raided.


RETURN TO BASKETBALL CARD COLLECTING | 2025 VERSION
These past few days, I’ve returned to basketball card collecting.


STORYTIME | THE GROUNDBREAKER: KNEEL AND CONQUER #1
I just turned 43. Instead of my usual sports blogs or random musings, I figured I'd try something different—something spontaneous.


DOODLING LIKE HECK | FEB 2025
I just wanted to spice up my PBA stats page with fresh artwork instead of the boring Sydrified banner.


MY TIMOG BOOZE RUN
I went to Timog for a booze run. ’m old enough to side-eye teenagers with questionable fashion choices and even worse alcohol tolerance.


JUST SAVING THIS HERE | SJCAM C100
I bought a mini camera on Lazada and I'm confused at the features.


THE AFTER NEW YEAR
I wanted to return to smoking.
You know, create a new mid-life crisis thing.
I instantly regretted it.


THE JOURNEY OF A PART-TIME BASKETBALL BLOGGER
First, I would want to get rid of this "stasis" I self-initiated.
Anyway...


THOUGHTS | TOY STORY SKINS ON BRAWL STARS
Brawl Stars' thing this December is Toy Story.


MUCH-NEEDED BREAK?
I will try to catch up on a whole lot of things.
So wait.


ANNOUNCEMENT
I may or may not take a break.
Too many real-life shits!


FATHER'S DAY A.I.
I hunted down image-generated images of dads with their kids happily enjoying a game together.
