MANNY...

It's time to blog again.haha..daming nangyari nitong weekend!hayy..

Let me start with a bang....on this corner...Manny Pacquiao! owkie..Congrats to Manny for winning against Marco Antonio Barrera of Mexico. Once again, you proved how powerful your punch is and how gentlemen Filipinos are. You may not have won by a knockout but still you showed how great a fighter you are. We Filipinos are so proud of you!

And to Kyla, gosh! your rendition of Lupang Hinirang is the best rendition I've heard. You sung it simply but with pure heart! Unlike others...hmmmm..I won't mention their names. Also during the bout, I saw Richard Gutierrez and Chris Tiu. He was wearing an Adidas jacket, just like what DJ Mo wore on his show.

DLSU winning over UE! I know it hurts for UE so much..my heart bleeds for you guys, but it happened already. Actually, naisip ko na to since the outcome of DLSU-ADMU game. Sayang for UE coz they've worked hard. tsssk..tsssk...Be happy na lang sila that they were able to play at the finals. Congrats to DLSU, un lang. lol.

Jervy Cruz won the MVP of the UAAP..okay, next!haha. ang bad..no comment nga eh, di kc ako familiar sa kanya coz I hardly ever watched UST games, pag kalaban lang UP and ADMU. The others who made it to the mythical team are Mark Borboran, JV Casio, Rico Maierhofer, and Chris Tiu. wah..............FEU's JR Cawaling won Rookie of the Year and Edwin Asoro got the Defensive Player of the Year.

Astig ng concert ni Billy Crawford!

PBA also had a preview of 4 different teams. One of them is the Coca Cola Tigers, my favorite team. The coach and some players were interviewed about their preparations for the upcoming season. Yun nga lang, they did not interview ****..kainis! It's always great seeing John on TV and in person..He still looks good with that hairstyle..amm..why not play with that kind of hair?well, I'm sure he'll shave it before their first game..hayy..sayang! In general, I think Coke has a pretty solid line-up this year compared last season. I just hope that John will be in shape as soon as the conference starts. Go the Arsenal! Go Tigers!

Basketball heartthrob Chris Tiu is a new Kapuso!

Basketball heartthrob Chris Tiu is a new Kapuso!

Issue # 1: Chris Tiu in Las Vegas with Pacquiao
Christopher John Alandy-Dy Tiu or Chris Tiu, 23 years old, captain ball and star player of the Ateneo Blue Eagles, a Management Engineering major, an honor student, a budding entrepreneur, SK chairman and occasional model will finally set foot on television for a pioneering primetime television show under the Kapuso Network!

But before anchoring his show whom he topbills with sports icon Manny Pacquiao, he is set to fly to Las Vegas to watch the Pacquiao-Barrera match which will be aired over GMA-7 this Sunday.
This is quite an opportunity for this young achiever who has been presented with a lot of program concepts — and who has finally found something that would fit his multi-tasks as student, basketball player, SK chairman and young businessman.

While the UE Warriors are up against the La Salle Archers in the UAAP basketball championship, the country stops for the Pacquiao-Barrera fight with an Atenean sportsperson in the front row — Chris Tiu — soon to be conquering a new arena — media! Good luck Chris!

i SPEAK:

GMA Executive Annette Gozon-Abrogar and I are about the happiest people with Chris’s entry in media. As a fellow Management Engineering major like Chris, Annette sees Chris Tiu’s excellence in his fields of endeavor as a good inspiration to the youth and to parents who would want their children to be like Chris.

His media stint is a perfect way to affect more people positively. In an interview with Chris in a magazine, he mentioned a very admirable guiding principle. Chris said, "Success should not be seen as an end, but as a means. The more you’ve achieved, the bigger your responsibility to share it to others. For example, if you are a successful businessman, you should use this opportunity to help other people, by being a just boss who pays fair wages and gives benefits. Use your achievements to help other people, so that they in turn could use what they’ve accomplished in the service of more."

Way to go, Chris Tiu! Welcome to our new Kapuso!

GREAT NEWS!waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since I came back from that vacation last last week, I feel more inspired and happier. I dunno what's the reason, but I feel great about this thing. That three-day vacation which I spent it with my family is really a gift for me! Now, I feel excited when I'm talking to my students..I am more relaxed now. I feel renewed..lol. Whatever the reason(s) is or are..could it be him/they..thank you..I love it!
Right now, I am excited already to see my favorite Tigers back in action..PBA will open on the 14th! yipee..I feel so excited..opps, that's an understatement!lol. All of us in Arriba are anticipating what would be the outfit/presentation of our Coca Cola Tigers. haha. Can't wait to see John again..with or without hair..lol, he still ROCKS! Go the Arsenal! Another thing that excites me is the fact that I'll be able to see my friends again, Ecel, Gladz, Ice, and the others..Im not sure if they'll go there all. I also feel excited to see someone I missed so much. I still don't have the courage to say who is he, but definitely, I would say that he's one of the reasons why I'm happy these days.
Before I forget, I just read from PEX that my crush, Chuck Allie of Starstruck has decided to leave showbusiness and continue his studies in Davao. T_T..I'm kind a sad bout this coz I won't be able to see him on TV..but I appreciate his decision. He's right! Education is more important..Showbusiness is just temporary. I just hope that someday, he comes back to prove that he's more talented that his batchmates. For me, still Chuck is the ultimate survivor who has the talent, the brains, the charisma, and the class. wah!
Can't get over with Marimar ang drama ng isa kong roommate..peace Nelly! haha. Did you see the latest Cosmopolitan issue? wah! Marian Rivera looks pretty and classy there! I don't really like her but she deserves all the good reviews about her nowadays. She's really IN!

Coke Pre-season Games

Waaaah!ang tagal kong di nagpost..eto na nga...im posting about Coke preseason games. I posted this in my site for JA but I made some changes..hehe.

Sept. 11 vs. SLR

I anticipated this match because of the pre-season trade between these two teams. Joseph Yeo and Coke's 2009 second round pick were given to SLR for Mark Isip and Cesar Catli. I feel bad coz John won't be playing with Seph anymore. Close pa naman sila since they were teammates for the 2006 Jones Cup. During the game, kaagad silang nag-usap as soon as both teams entered the court. Even after the game, usap pa rin sila with Alex Cabagnot. hayy naku! Tumataas ang kilay ko. Well anyway, good luck to Joseph Yeo! I know there will be games that you'll go up against John coz of your position..pero since it's a career move, go The Ninja! I will still support you even if Realtor ka na. Pero xempre iba pa rin kung teammate ka ni Big Bro. Well, Coke lost the game. Pero, okay lang for me. Ali and John didn't play naman..guess wat? They are both wearing orange.wah! After the game, we approached JA and we had a short talk. Then he said goodbye. We also approached Alex Cabagnot and asked him to sign our pic. Okay! that's all..kung anuman ung ibang details, I wanna keep it to myself. lol.

Sept 14 vs. KT & G (Korea)

The Tigers went up against a Korean team. This time, Ali played. Unfortunately, 6mins na lang yung natitira sa game when me and Ice came. But it's okay coz I got what I wanted. Un naman! ano kaya yun?Secret! Basta..ang saya! Korea won the game.huhu. After the game, I was able to talk to John again. well, I taught him a Korean word, 'bogoshipta" which means "I miss you" haha. And then he said "I'll try to remember that." OMG!Tagalog nga, nahihirapan xa, Korean pa kaya. joke! Nothing much to say, it was a wasted night coz I missed someone..sh*T! i don't like it. Can somebody clone me?lol.

Sept 17 vs. SMB

After two games in The Arena in San Juan, we now moved to Marikina Sports Complex. We were not able to start the game coz we thought it's the second game. Kainis! Me and Ice were expecting that we could watch the whole game but we felt disappointed to hear "Telan" made a basket. 3rd quarter na ung inabutan namin ni Ice, who also accompanied me during Coke's last game. Pero okay lang..ang sarap magcheer!dami kcng tao. Panay nga ang sigaw ko..kakahiya pero pakialam ba nila. I paid for my tix...and I'm happy with what I'm doin'. WAH!It's really great to express what you feel inside. hahaha. Later on after the game, we talked to John and I talagang "talk" yun coz we asked him a lot of questions, ryt Alen? Alen was there, too coz she's interested to see something. Unfortunately, she didn't. lol.

Sept 19 vs. Alaska

I did another ridiculous thing just to watch this game. haha!basta pero its legal noh?still, I'm happy with what happened on that day. Daming kilig moments talaga. We lost that game but the Tigers fought hard..and I can feel that there's something positive happening in the team. Coke played well on the last two games considering the fact that JA didn't play. If JA would have played that game. we would have won it!lol. But ofcourse, we'll reserve it on the AFC. Ang yabang! We might have lost that game, still..it doesn't matter coz someone stole the show from them. wah! I love it when the crowd was going crazy over JA. Kakatuwa talaga! I'll probably make a separate entry for that. Ur the man, big bro!lolAfter the game, we had a chance to talk to Kuya JM and Kuya Ken. Thanks poh for being so accommodating and friendly.

Sept 24 vs. RedBull

I won't be able to watch this game because I'm taking a break from work. It's my time to spend quality time with my family which I miss so badly! It's been a while since I saw them and hug them. It's sad coz I won't be able to see someone who I have learned to appreciate despite other people's criticisms. It's sad that I won't be able to watch the game on Monday considering that John might play...but it's okay. I can still watch during the actual games in Araneta....

I know that everyone is excited already to see John and the Tigers in the coming PBA Cup. I have a good news for you, the PBA is I think bringing back the three-tournament format which means, we'll be able to see JA more.

one thing common: the hair!lol

im a MOVIE ADDICT!kuno

For the past month, I have been a movie addict! yeah, I watch three movies that I don't normally do. Kuripot kasi ako. lol. It all started with Harry Potter and then the local film Ouija. Yep, I watched that movie because of Jolina. I like her a lot. But there are other reasons why I watched this. Though the movie has a lot of other Asean features like yung "sadako" thing, still..I like it. I love the special effects and ofcourse the different climax of the story..ang dami! I especially like the elevator scene of Judy Ann and the scene of Jolens in bed with ...wah!scary talaga. I also want to credit Iza Calzado for a great acting. She is definitely a fine actress who deserves the success she's getting right now. Kudos to the whole cast! This movie is something that all of us should be proud of, whether you are a Kapuso or a Kapamilya! lol.

From a scary film, we go to the super hilarious tandem of Asian superstar Jackie Chan and his favorite sidekick, Chris Tucker..Rush Hour 3. I would say that this is the best Rush Hour movie that I have watched. And why not, it was shot in Paris, not less than the Eiffel Tower. Super ganda nung place and super sarap mamasyal. lol. May favorite scenes? Actually, I have three. First was the "you-me" part where Chris Tucker was talking to a Chinese master whose name is Yu and to his assistant whose name is Mi. Second was during the scene where Jackie Chan and Tucker were forcing a killer to tell the person who wants to kill the ambassador. They even needed the help of a French nun who to interpret the man's words. Hilarious! lastly, I like the scene where Chris Tucker sung "The Closer I Get to You" at the bar. After he finished his lines, the lights went off and then a spotlight was focused on Jackie who sung the following lines "over and over again......"while on a swing...funny indeed. I never thought Jackie would do that. So if you feel sad and you want to laugh, watch this movie!

Just last Saturday, I watched Evan Almighty with my officemates. Yeah, it's a comedy with a touch of drama. Actually, I didn't find it funny if I would compare it with Rush Hour 3. Basically, that's the reason why I didn't enjoy it so much. You see when you watch movies with the same genre after another, you keep on comparing the first one with the second. Honestly, I planned to watch another movie, Nicole Kidman's The Invasion but since we've planned to watch this movie since last month, I gave it a try. My favorite scene happened when "God" played by Morgan Freeman was talking to Evan's wife. It was very touching... One thing that the movie wants to point out is the fact that in a simple way, you can change the world..and that is by giving someone an act of random kindness.. it doesn't have to be great, it can be as simple as giving water to a dog. Next target: The Invasion and Nancy Drew!lol

MWAH!

Thank you for a wonderful time with you.

Thanks for the sweet smile...you made my day!

"Thank you for saving me yesterday in the brink of depression. Thank you for the time that you spent with us though you hardly see us. You really made my day. And for that, you are my angel..you are my savior!"

Ang sabi nila, pagkatapos ng ulan, sisikat ang isang bagong umaga..ang lalim di ba? Ang hirap arukin.lol. Pero ang kasabihang ito ay aking napatunayan kahapon. Isang araw na akala ko'y tuluyang mawawalan ng saysay dahil sa maraming kadahilanan. Mga kadahilang hindi ko maipaliwanag nang tuluyan.

I never thought that yesterday would be so special. I never expected that it will happen again coz I think it's hard to duplicate the first encounter. But I was wrong, it happened and this one is as special as the first. My thank yous to Ecel and Gladys who convinced me to go with them. If not for them, then probably..I won't be able to experience one of the best days of my life. Luv you guys! thanks a lot.^^
