i miss the old aces!

Im so damn busy with my work.Everyday, I write blogs for other people and yet I cannot update my own..That's shit! Oh! I miss PBA a lot..It's been a while since I watched it. I miss the Aces team already... I mean the OLD team. The team with JA, Don Allado, Ali Peek, Rob Duat, Mike Cortez and Brandon Cablay. I miss the team that who won a championship despite being young and inexperienced. I miss the young team who proved that winning a championship is not all about experience..and that it is also based on hunger and determination. How I wish I can see them playing together again..even for a single game.Kudos to the OLD Aces team! I miss you guys!

Alapaap

Check out one of my favorite OPM songs..Alapaap by Eraserheads.
(Note: This song reflects the rebel in me. I admit it, if Johnny Depp admits that there's a pirate in him, then there's a rebel in me!)

May isang umaga, na tayo'y magsasama
Haya at halina sa alapaapO, anong sarap, haa...
Hanggang sa dulo ng mundo
Hanggang maubos ang ubo
Hanggang gumulong ang luha
Hanggang mahulog ang tala
Chorus:

Masdan mo ang aking mata'
Di mo ba nakikita
Ako ngayo'y lumilipad at nasa langit na
Gusto mo bang sumama ?
Hindi mo na kailangan ang magtago't mahiya
Hindi mo na kailangan humanap ng iba
Kalimutan lang muna
Ang lahat ng problema
Huminga ka ng malalim at tayo'y lalarga
naHanda na bang gumala

Adlib:
Pap-pa-rap... pap-pa-rap-pa..
Pa pa pa pa (papapapa....)
La-la-la... oooh hoo hoo...
Ang daming bawal sa mundo (Ang daming bawal sa mundo)
Sinasakal nila tayo (Sinasakal nila tayo)
Buksan ang puso at isipan (Buksan ang puso at isipan)
Paliparin ang kamalayan (Paliparin)
Chorus 2:

Masdan mo ang aking mata'
Di mo ba nakikita
Ako'y lumilipad at nasa alapaap na
Gusto mo bang sumama ?
Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)
Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)
Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)
Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)
Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)
Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)
Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)
Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)
Sumama ?

APRIL 22, 2006...

This blog has been publish in my other blog. I include it hear coz I consider this as an important day in my boring life!
APRIL 21,2006.....I was very thankful because I checked my email that night. I saw sis Charina's message. She said she plans to Moro Gym to visit Coke practice. I immediately got her number and texted her. She replied and we set everything. I really can't sleep that night. This was the first time that I would be able to see JA since 2003. That was back in college when I went to KFC Katipunan with my friend Agnes. Imagine, that was three three years in the making..I always watch his games naman but mainly on TV. Also I was very excited coz I would be able to meet somemembers of Arriba. Honestly, I didn't know what time I was able to sleep that night. I woke up around 8am the following day. I immediately fixed myself and my things. Around 9am,Chaina and I met at LRT2 Pureza station. She was with Rubz, Rich's number 1 supporter..(GO sis!). I would never forget when she said "PUP school ko pero puso ko nasa Ateneo." When we arrived at Moro, it was around 10:30 in the morning. I asked one of the staff there is the team was stillpracticing. He said yes and he even accompanied us inside. "Ang bait ni manong!" He even offerred us to sit on the othe side of the court near that big electric fan..haha. Upon our entry, I begun looking for the players and the first one that I saw was Ali Peek. Well,he's so big kc. And then there he goes...I saw him. He even looked at us and smiled. After a few minutes, Jason and Alen joined us. Alen is also a member and I am one of those who always view her friendster coz she always has new pics of JA. Later, each player practiced in different rings. Denoc Miranda, Coke's rookie practiced at the right ring near us. Then JA and Will Antonio occupied the left. John asked us whether we're from Arriba and we said YES! Then, he smiled and continued his practice. While practicing, I could notice how happy JA with his new team. While practicing kc, JA also joked around with Will. They were laughing, and playing like kids which is really funny. There was one moment wherein I smiled coz Will accidentally hit John's face and then suddenly they laughed. Around 11:30, the team went at the center of the teamand had a meeting. After that, JA practiced some treys..I guess during that time, he was practicing for the All-Stars.
Later around 1, he sat at the other side and we approached him. Ofcourse again we're shy! That's given come on! We asked him to pose for some pics. I was stunned when Alen courageously asked him to hug us...Actually, it was just a joke while we're waiting.I didn'tknow she would stilldo it.haha.. Iba ka Alen! JA said "no problem." One by one, he hugged us. First was Alen, then Rubz, then Charina and OMG! It's my turn! After that, we had a group pic. Alen had to go home coz her parents werewaiting already. We also went outside na but you know what? We'rewith JA. It's hard kc to go out of Ateneo if you don't have a car, you either walk..or wait for a taxi.I think there were also tricycles. In short, makikisuno po kami sa car nya hanggang Cubao..lol.
The three of us, Charina, me and Rubz sat at th eback while Jason was at the front. Before leaving, JA said goodbye to Rafi and Coach Binky at the parking lot. While inside the car, we mentioned to JA about his Homeboy guesting. He even said he did some silly things there like singing "Magtanim ay di Biro." But we told him, it's cute. I can't remember what other things we talked about. I have poor memory actually..hehe. At Cubao, we said goodbye and we thanked him of course. The following day, Arriba was flooded with messages about that visit.
Again, thanks to JA! thanks for the hug! and to Charina, Alen, Jayson and Rubz..I am so greatful to that I was able to meet you on that very special day! I hope there would be a repeat of that hug..lol, I mean the visit.

time really flies!

Time really flies.It's the last week of July already and after this, it will be August followed by the "ber" months. I just finished reading Dan Brown's Angels and Demons this weekend. I can't imagine, I was able to finish the novel in barely three days. My officemate lend me her copy..thanks Khristine.The novel is great, it's full of thrill and excitement just like Da Vinci Code.Of course, there are a lot of symbols again, as usual Robert Langdon is a symbologist..lol.This time, he's after the antimatter that can destroy the Vatican City...(scary!)

Compared to the Da Vinci Code, this novel is more scientifically advanced since it tackles the never-ending "war" between religion and Science. However, you can easily say that it's fictional...again fictional. Also, I had time watching the UAAP game last Sunday..UP vs. Adamson. Unfortunately, UP lost, too bad. They we're leading at the first half but ADU was able to bounce back. But it's okay the team put up a good fight naman. Od course, Marvin Cruz was there..cute tlaga. He really looks like that Korean actor in My 19-year old sister-in-law.I think he's Kim Jae Won..la lang, he's so neat kc and I like his intensity in the hard court. I'm so proud of him because after three games, he's leading in UAAP scoring and steals. Go MArvelous Marvin!

GO UP Fighting Maroons.Laban mga Iskolar ng Bayan!I really can't control my emotion when it concerns my school. That's how proud I am with my Alma Mater!
