Finally had a Globe sim card, since I lost my Sun and most of my contacts are using Globe - so, I really have to adjust to the demand of my contacts.
However, I still have to find a way to use both my two sim cards. I plan to buy an another cellphone that would be flexible enough to my lifestyle. But, I really have to save money. Meaning, no movies for a while. In terms about the UAAP games, I have my brother to do that for me. I know that is kind of harsh, but that's reality.
It's my brother's midterms exams week, which mean I'll hear more of his rants how hard his exams will be. But, I know he'll make it. He is a smart guy. He just need extra effort to push himself. He procrastinates a lot - and he needs to control himself in order to achieve what he wants. He even has problems with his Trigonometry grade last year. His professor had put 'incomplete' in the Registrar's records but in his prof's record, there was really a rating. If he didn't make a move about that, he'll take up the subject again this coming summer classes.
We went to Trinoma last weekend, and we discovered that the ADMU Blue Eagles was there. The 2nd floor (which was the itinerary was the Adidas store) was flooded by people. My sister was definitely the first one who told me that Chris Tiu and the other players were there. We are on the 3rd floor, and she was looking down at the 2nd floor - squealing and endlessly saying, 'Ate, sina Chris Tiu nandito! Ayun!' (Ate, Chris Tiu and the others are here! There!) and she was pointing her fingers to them. (Unfortunately, I was not wearing my eyeglasses, so all I can see is a smudge image of the 2nd floor.) I asked Mom if we can go down and just take a sneak peek, but my mom didn't permit us. She is afraid that my sister might lost in the middle of the crowd. Oh well.. I'll guess I'll see guys some other time. I can still remember how my sister was disappointed - pouting mouth, frowned face and all that jazz. Hehe.
By the way, a close friend of mine who is studying at UE wanted to see me this week - and she'll introduce me to the Red Warriors. (which is persistently suggested by her. Ugh.) I can't say no, because we haven't seen each other for ages. Oh, I think she is already talking about me to those hoopsters - since, she is close to them.
Board Exam reviews will start this Friday - and I'll be a moderately hiatus. Now, I need to re-read all of my notes.

| UE Red Warriors finally got their revenge. |
With the score of 73, UE Red Warriors finally avenged their lost from FEU Tamaraws at today's game. Pari Llagas leading the team with 21 points and with the shot blocker, Elmer Espiritu - looks like the Red Warriors are preparing their games against Ateneo Blue Eagles.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(full silence.)
Anybody thought this will be an article? Nah, I'm just here to admire the power of Pari Llagas - and the nice passes made by Paul Zamar. Idol! And of course, the fastbreak points that is mostly from Paul Lee and Raffy Reyes (whom I think is brave enough to break the walls of the tall FEU Tamaraw forwards.)
Surely, the playoffs against this team and the Blue Eagles will definitely an interesting match. I bet the Blue Eagles now are surely preparing to carry the Red Warriors away from the championship.
The only thing that the Red Warriors lack is their consistency and patience to shoot the ball. Not to mention, they are not taking advantage of their shot clock. They kept on releasing shots fast and not precisely thinking if it will go inside the ring.
But, whenever I reminisced the 2nd round game of the Red Warriors and Blue Eagles.. I can't help but.. nevermind.
Paul Zamar - WOW. (insert random sports fanatic squeals)
But hey, how can I ever forget James Martinez' 3-points shots at this game? But, nah.. It's still Paul Zamar and Pari Llagas that made most of the scores - that elegant passes.
I can't wait for the finals. I'm surely going to watch UE Red Warriors vs. Ateneo Blue Eagles.
After all, they are one of my favorite teams in the league.

| the blackout. |
And more likely this will be just short.
Have just watched UAAP - it was between UE Red Warriors and UST Growling Tigers. My bet? I remained neutral. (Just like the game of UE and Ateneo.)
During the 2nd quarter and I was happy on the performance that the Red Warriors were manifesting, a blackout happened in Ultra. I was laughing since it was even televised. HAHA. I started thinking, what if the lights won't be back after 15 minutes? And some other random thoughts.
Anyway, hands down to UST Growling Tigers - even though they didn't win, they have showed a good game. Making the 22-point gap to 2 points was something to be amazed of. OH! And Paul Lee of UE? HE WAS IN BLAZING FIRE! He did a great job. I hope he'll continue playing that way, because he was playing that kind of style last season.
So, the final four would be Ateneo, UE, FEU and La Salle (that in random order.). And that makes Ateneo vs. UE?
Reaction? IT WOULD SO MUCH EXCITING. *nods* (Yeah, because that's my dream finals - although UST didn't make it.)

| A Hero. The Hope. The Future. |
I was fond of watching a lot of things this past few days. Being a couch potato sometimes do a lot of good things too. It's bad to sleep late at night, but it's my way of fighting my insomnia back - which been bugging me this past few days ago. I had time to catch up with the news and one of it is the 25th death anniversary of Ninoy Aquino.
When my mom saw this commercial about a documentary dedicated for him, she begun saying, "He is such a kindhearted person. He is courageous, smart and open-minded. He is also dangerous for the government during his time - and that is the time when I was carrying you in my womb." I was puzzled. I didn't know she had this admiration for such a brave man. She sat beside me while we were watching the news, talking about his fascination to this man - the one whom I saw in the 500 peso-bill. Then, she said, "If Ninoy was still alive, he'll probably be a president, or someone sitting in the government. He'll bring harmony and certainly will inspire a lot of people like you, who have eccentric ideas about things around. Such man can exist again in other time." Then, my mom sighed.
I know what my mom meant. She believes that there is still hope existing for the oppression and the alleviation of the worse situation of our country. Eventhough, my mom knows how negative my thinking is when it comes to the government, she knows that somewhere in my heart - there's still a living flame of belief that a bright future is waiting for the country. Definitely he knows, that someone out there would bring the peace, harmony and hope alive in the country again... just like during her days.
It's so sad to see that those people in my age have a cold shoulder treatment in the situation of my country. Mostly of my classmates would immediately want to escape from the doom happening here. I laughed my head out when they still have to serve our Mother Country for two years before going overseas. I always tell myself that I'll just go overseas for greener pastures - but will definitely go back here. There's nothing good but going back home.
Speaking of Ninoy's commemoration for his death, our school will be having a small program this coming Tuesday - the alumni was invited, and I gladly told my answer to our College Dean that I'll be there. I haven't heard much of what the program's intention and other stuffs that will be happening. Our College Dean asked me to speak in behalf of our college alumni members (who are by the way, busy filing their requirement to PRC for their license.). Since my review classes will be starting few days from now, I gave my word that I'll be doing that impromptu speech. (Gawd. I think I was known in our school because of my impromptu speeches! *toinks*)
For now, I think I should think of things that I wanted to say to those people who will be in the program. Who knows what I might do. Who knows what the impact would be. It might give a spark of hope and sooner, it'll become a flame of freedom and harmony.

| Cha-cha and Bad Officiating |
Oh my. Second post. Who would have thought that I'll be having a second post here? I find it cool, since I'm really lazy in updating my blog most of the time.
I watched too much Olympics last few days. I've watched who Michael Pelps of USA got his fifth gold medal. I also watched how USA beat Greece last night. I also have witness how China got the gold in the Weightlifting sports - women's edition; I actually got frustrated with this one because our representative almost made it in the finals. But, she wasn't able to lift the next few weighs. Oh well, she is still young - she can still achieve more than now.
The news that I've heard for past few days was disturbing. There was a fire that haven't put out after two days at Baclaran, then there were a lot of robbery happened, and another 'dead' issue came back alive again - The Charter Change issue. It was giving me headache since the reasons of the senators were so random. (Although, Sen. Escudero's reason is so sensible.)
I'm actually not against Federalism. As the facts presented, only the Philippines is the country in Asia that isn't a federal country. Almost 90% of Asian countries are federal state - and look the economy. One good example is South Korea - which is a Republic -Federal state.
If ever federalism pursue here in my country, I hope it will after elections. No comments on the current government. *shrugs*
Oh, oh! I saw last week the second game of Ateneo Blue Eagles against UST Growling Tigers! But, what struck me was the bad officiating. One player of Growling Tigers intentionally hurt a player from Blue Eagles - and what did the referee decided? TECHNICAL FOUL?? WTF.
UAAP today's having a bad officiating.

Finally, I made a first serious post in this account. I've been keeping this account for several months without posting and customizing it. Although, I have a personal livejournal account.. I can't put all the thoughts I wanted to because I can only post it to a set of friends where they can actually relate to it. So, I have to be sometimes specific of the things I should post there. Oh well..
I woke up today at around 11am. Seriously, I couldn't sleep well last night. Maybe because of my dysmenorrhea, but that is a skeptical idea or reason. I already tried listening to the Korean Music that is infiltrating my Ipod for weeks already, but it was still no effect. Kind of unusual, because it usually puts me to sleep. Oh well...
I really didn't know what to write here for now. This will just be pre-post of all the things I'll post here. Random thoughts, rants, fangirling moments and even my photography-camerawhoring fancies.
Speaking of my fan moments, my brother and I watched the basketball playoff in Beijing Olympics last night. It was a game of USA against China. My.. the Chinese players were really tall - but being tall doesn't necessarily mean you can dominate the basketball court. USA players made impressive slam dunks and shoots. My brother was just disappointed not seeing Amari - but the disappointment disappeared because Le Bron James was there.. and literally, dominating the Chinese players in his footworks, moves and hoops. We've also seen a lot of good assists and alley hoops made by Dwayne Wade and Le Bron James. But, we also noticed how the Chinese players were good in outside shooting. Who would have thought that Yao Ming can do a perfect three-point shot? Oh well...
The USA Basketball Olympic Roster overthrew China in a score of 101-70 win. Dwayne Wade leading the team with 19 points, with the aid of Lebron James contributing 18 points and 6 rebounds, while Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard garnered 13 points for the team. WOW. Talk about the ultimate basketball showoff!
Anyway, I talked to Pat over the phone last night. She told about the trailer of the upcoming movie, 'The Watchmen". She told me the background of the movie - and just like V for Vendetta, it's from a graphic novel. While she was telling a little about the movie and the plot itself, I was intrigued - and now, I'm desperately looking for an online graphic novel of it. So, if you know where I can find one.. please do tell me the link!!
Speaking of movies, she also told me that Christopher Nolan, the director and producer of Batman, might be making a sequel next to 'The Dark Knight". It was said that the next sequel might featured Catwoman, or The Riddler or Mr. Penguin. I have searched it in the internet - and the speculations were still on the process of forming. The producers and the director also have speculated the actors or actresses that might be playing the villains; it was rumored that Angelina Jolie might be playing Catwoman - which I think would be a bright idea, but I do think the character of Catwoman might be overshadowed by the celebrity status of Jolie; Johnny Depp for The Riddler (*insert for overwhelming fangirl squeeing*^0^/) which I think is an intelligent choice.. and playing for Mr. Penguin.. well, I forgot the name of the actor. I now want to screw myself.
So much for my fangirling issues, it's now time to hit the remote control and watch my daily TV show routines. (What's on Monday anyway? Oh, House MD!)
