coke draftees..(thoughts!)

Finally, there are players who can provide support to JA and Ali. I don't wanna see JA frustrated after the game. you know After giving all his best, his team would still lose coz he did not get the support from his teammates.With the acquisition of Yeo and Rizada and Enrile, Coke is assured of at least 15-30 points a game from these players. If that happens, the other team would no longer focus on John. Yeo is the type of player who attacks inside the paint regardless of who's inside..(that's what I like him!wlang cnasanto..come on enrico!lol) but he has to keep cool especially when he's playing Red Bull. Rizada is much of a threat outside..
Some people say that with the entry of these guys, John could be affected coz of their positions. But JA is a shooting forward naman. Hopefully, there will be no problem about their minutes. Rizada and Yeo are off-guards so I don't see any problem at all. And besides, JA has played with Yeo already in the Jones Cup..So at least my chemistry na ng konte. He has played with Ali and Denok, too. Rizada is Denok's former teammate in FEU. About Yeo's attitude, well I think he's matured enough to know that it's not UAAP anymore! Playing here is not about your school pride..it's about your team's ultimate goal and proving yourself that you deserve to be drafted in the PBA.
Im hoping that most of these players would be signed by Coke. they have so much talent that can help the team. Yun nga lang, I don't expect them to be so good..they will still adjust to the team and to the league. PBA is not college basketball..it's tougher!Even if they are college stand-outs, still Ali and John would have to carry a big load in the team. They're the veterans of the team and they have to involve the new players.
The sun is starting to shine back to the Coke team...

2006 PBA draft..

Grabeh!I watched the PBA Drafting together with my bestfriend Tere, last Sunday in Market! Market! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to talk to JA coz there are a lot of people.ang sikip! Well, I expected it coz it's draft day and they're doing it in the mall so what can I expect. But it's ok na rin, I saw John wearing a white Nike polo shirt and a Nike cap!Siyempre authentic Nike products coz he's one of the endorsers here. Kumbaga, Im used to seeing him wearing Nike products.lol
Before that, we saw Josep Yeo with his not so colorful hair..duh!well he's not that tall, I thinkhe's only 5'8"..cute.and in fairness he has many fans. The team that would draft him would have more fans surely..lol.(cno kaya?) We also saw other players from other teams. My bestfriend was so happy when she saw Alvin Patrimonio..puti raw and flawless khit medyo me edad na. I also saw Johnny but I'm not the type of person who would approach a player unless he's..(ang taray!) But he's really friendly and accommodating to his fans.Im happy he's still with Coke despite news that his former team wants him back!Great!(Try harder Cone!lol
When drafting started, im so excited to know who'll be Coke's first pick. Kelly williams went to SLR, then Arwing Santos to Air21..and OMG! it's Joseph yeo to Coke!and guess what it's John who gave him the COKE jacket!(welcome man!lol) syempre with coach Binky and other Coke officials.I also saw the new assistant coaches of the team, Boybits Victoria and Ritchie Ticson..and team manager Hector Calma.Ali Peek, Gerard Francisco, Neil Raneses were also there. Too bad Denok was not there bcoz he's in Brunei playing for the national team. Sayang, he should have there to welcome Coke's 2nd pick, RJ Rizada. Grabeh!I really jumped when Commish named him coz I know he's a good player. He's a good 3-pt shooter back in his college days. Im not from FEU but I know the guy can play basketball.
Other players who were drafted by the team were Caceres (not familiar with him..) so with Chris Pacana..although there are news that they really did well during the rookie camp.They got Gavino, a former Maroon..although dun lang sya nagMasteral..hehe. And of course Ronjay Enrile of Letran. Pretty good players although Coke will still lack big men. They let go of the opportunity to draft Mark Isip by acquiring Yeo. But as what Coach Binky said, they would like to run that's why they got many guards and shooters. Still, Coke line-up is not yet complete. There are still trades to happen..that's for sure!
To all rookies of COke..congratulations and welcome to the team (that is if the team signs you..lol

one-day break!

It was really great that we had a one-day break yesterday. I was able to do a lot of things and it was really great to accomplish many things in a day..something that I could not do before. Also, I had a nice time sleeping..oh, my favorite hobby..lol.I miss my bed right now..I miss sleeping while listening to my favorite songs. Speaking of John, I've got good news for myself..haha.I will be watching the drafting on the 20th of this month together with my bestfriend Tere..Finally, I will be able to see John and the rest of the Coke team. Syempre that includes Crushy!haha.

new Monday

This is a new Monday for me! I don't have to go to my fulltime job everyday coz my manager has approved my request to work as a partimer offsite. Hay! at least I'll be able to find more time for myself. Of course, my health is still my priority. Even if I would miss my officemates there, I don't have any choice but to make that very important decision.Change topic: This is a little bit late but it doesn't matter at all..JA has posted already in Arriba after several months. His message is too long but worthy of ten or more readings. Haha! That's how I miss JA so much!Very thankful that he's back already coz he's there's a lot of things going on his team right now. Personally, I'm afraid of what might happen to his team because I know he'll be affected. If the team disbands and he will be transferred to another team, he will have to adjust again to a new team and new system. Oh..I don't want to see him frustrated again. I don't want him to be part of a team that wouldn't maximize his talents. I'll be a hypocrite if I say I want him to play for his former team. I don't know but I haven't fully recovered from that trade. Even if Jolas is still there, I can't cheer for them anymore. But I'll be forever thankful to them coz through that team, I met JA!I hope everything would be settled before the opening of the season coz I don't want the team to suffer. I don't want to see JA so frustrated after the game. As much as possible I want another championship for him. And to those who continue to criticize him, I have an advice for you guys! talk and know him first before making any conclusion.
