Hey again. Long time no see. Hulaan niyo. Yep, sira nanaman. Thursday pa daw. So in the meantime, cafe muna.
Busy week. Hindi naman sobra, pero hectic na rin. Saya. :D
So I'm supposed to be doing the PA project now, but UNFORTUNATELY both of my groupmates aren't online. Ang hirap talaga ng walang PC.
Andaming project! Plus Long Test II on Thursday and Friday, so. And oo nga pala, alam ko maraming typos sa blog ko pero sori nalang. Tsaka hindi rin kita yung ibang words diba? Will fix, if have time.
Sa mga dayuhang hindi ako maintindihan, mamatay na kayo. Haha. Taglish ako magsalita eh, sabagay halos lahat naman Taglish. As much as possible, I will try to speak one language at a time. Swear.
Next time na. Bwahaha.
Anyway, Thursday last week was a pretty good day. I missed the 3:30 bus and so had to stay in school until 5:30. Actually, I almost caught it. In fact, I ran after it. Unfortunately, Kuya Edgar didn't see me and so I missed it. Bad trip pare. Haha. Gulo no? Tagalog ulit.
So I stayed in the lounge and looked through the yearbooks with my classmates. We laughed at the pictures and names of the old students. Which made me think, what if in the future, people will look at our yearbook and laugh?
So, well, gotta go, because my classmate just IMed me and told me that our PA project is due Tuesday. So will kill myself doing it instead of surfing for the next hour.
Buhbye.
San Beda Wins NCAA Hoops Title
By Frank Calapre, The Manila Times Correspondent
Ending with a roar instead of a whimper, San Beda College survived Philippine Christian University’s fiery endgame rally for a hairline 68-67 win Friday that clinched its first National Collegiate Athletic Association men’s basketball title in 28 years.
But the Red Lions had to go down the wire to beat the seemingly unsinkable Dolphins, who erased a 61-44 third-quarter deficit with a scary 23-7 tear that nearly did the trick.
Not until PCU’s gunner Ian Garrido drew a blank from 15 feet near the keyhole as time expired could the San Beda crowd at the packed Araneta Coliseum heave a sigh of relief and erupt in celebration.
Yousif Aljamal collared the rebound and held the ball tightly like his life depended on it, as the desperate Dolphins swarmed all over him. Confetti then fell from the Big Dome roof signaling the end of San Beda’s long title drought.
The Red Lions then gave a well-deserved victory ride for rookie coach Koy Banal, who set a record of sorts with the historic triumph, after closing out the thrilling best-of-three series at 2-1.
Banal is the first mentor to win both NCAA and University Athletic Association of the Philippines men’s basketball titles. He steered the Far Eastern University Tamaraws to the UAAP crown in 2003.
The Red Lions last won the NCAA championship in 1978 with a squad featuring Chito Loyzaga, Frankie Lim and Jayvee Yango. It took them nearly three decades to collect their 12th title in the country’s oldest collegiate league.
“This is for God above all. I’m so very happy and I’m proud of my boys all of them. Thanks God,” a jubilant Banal said later.
On the other hand, PCU came tantalizingly close to winning its second championship after its inaugural plum in 2004, but settled for its second straight runner-up finish.
With 6-foot-8 Nigerian Sam Ekwe neutralized, Aljamal and John Escobal saved the day for the Red Lions, combining for 38 points, 15 of them in the third quarter when they looked set to pull away for good.
The 6-foot-3 Aljamal, who topscored for the Red Lions with 23 points on top of 11 rebounds and 2 steals, was later voted the Most Valuable Player in the finals series.
Escobal finished with 15 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, while Alex Angeles made 8 points and 4 rebounds. Ekwe, the season’s MVP and Best Rookie awardee, had 7 points, 18 rebounds and 4 blocked shots.
Jason Castro led the PCU Dolphins with 25 points, followed by Robby David with 10, Beau Belga had 9 points, but the pro-bound Gabby Espinas was held to just 8.
The Scores:
SBC (68) - Aljamal 23, Escobal 15, Angeles 8, Ekwe 7, Menor 5, Evangelista 4, Maggay 2, Hermida 2, Gamalinda 2, Tecson 0, Taganas 0.
PCU (67) - Castro 25, David 10, Belga 9, Espinas 8, Navarro 7, Graham 4, Garrido 2, Amparado 2, Chien 0, McCoy 0, Santos 0, Vidal 0.
Quarterscores: 15-19; 36-30; 61-44; 68-67.

[ homecoming and hoarse cheers ]
Intrams kanina. Kulelat kami. 4th. AGH.
Homecoming niTop Suzara kahapon. Nagshoot sila sa Bio Lab. Adviser pala niya si Ms. Sison nung 4th year siya. Haha. So yun. May cameras and everything, tapos nakakahiya kasi ang daming mali. Lalo na yung wrong answer. Wala naman kaming kaalam-alam dun sa "tinuturo" ni Ms. kasi anatomy na yun, pang 4th year. Yung iba naman, sobrang conscious dahil sa camera. Sus, wala namang makikita sa kanila. Ilang minutes lang yun, no. Tsaka icucut naman nila. Wala rin.
Concert was after batch practice, mga 2:30. Natapos daw 4:30. Di ko alam kasi hanggang 3:30 lang ako. Nag-alisan na daw after nun. Mga 50 nalang daw natira. Kawawang Top.
Gawd, kakahiya yun ah. Walang welcome? Kay Rico Blanco nga eh, nung nag-MTV Homecoming suya dito nung January, nagstay sila hanggang mga 9 siguro? Kasi hello, si Rico yun.
But still. Kahit hindi ako kita dun sa scripted video ng "Top in the Lab", naging kaklase ko siya. At least for one fake lesson I didn't even understand. And I got his autograph. First time. Wow. So nahyper ako.
And then, Opening of Intrams kanina. Batch cheer. And after practicing for... uh, one day, we were ranked 4th out of 4. Andaming mali. Nakakahiya... "B-E-D-A, B-E-S-T, B-E-D-A we are the best..." tapos kala meron pa, tapos na pala. Aw.
Ang boring after ng cheer. May mga sikat din pala na hindi ko kilala. May black guy na basketball player na sobrang tangkad, "most promising" daw. Galing magdunk.
Tapos kahapon pala, super inspired ako sa fanfic na nabasa ko na puro Draco naisip ko. Kaso sama ng araw eh. Grr. Lang kwenta. Nairita ako eh. Nakahanap ako ng kahawig ni Draco, ayun crush ko na ata. Wala nang Garfield. Pangit na yun eh. Yung lookalike pala, naging kaklase ko dati. Popular siya. Kayo na bahalang manghula kung sino. Basta gwapo. Haha. Maangas? Ewan, basta kahawig. And no, Graceli, hindi si "A" yun... Nasa YM ko na pala. Hindi ko alam. :P
Tagalog mode pag bored. Bored ako eh. Halata no? Or bored ako lagi? Siguro pagod. Sigaw ng sigaw eh.
Putol putol. Haha. Yung cheers (not in order).

[ crocodile hunter ]
You know the guy on Discovery Channel (or Animal Planet?), Steve Irwin? He's dead. I know, I was shocked too. My mom told me the news this morning and at first I was "Okay okay whatever, now will you please go; I have to study" but then she told me how he died and I went "Whoa."
Apparently they were filming in Australia's Great Barrier Reef when a stingray came under Steve (in the water) and its tail went right through his chest. Ow. Mom said the tail had sort of "barbed wire" and how that must have hurt! I shuddered the moment she said that.
I used to get annoyed by the guy every time his show came on TV and my dad insisted on watching it, because I didn't like how he got close to things like crocodiles and snakes (yeah, he isn't called Crocodile Hunter for nothing). But I feel sorry for the guy. I'm still in a sort of shock over the whole thing.
Anyways how my mom found out about it was Yahoo last night. I think it made front page news. Today - just now - I checked back on it and there is a link that says "Crocodile Hunter's Death Caught on Tape". I didn't even look.
I will miss that thick accent and the khaki, though as I said before I never liked him or his show. Steve Irwin. Dead. Haaay.
And why is it that no matter how you hate someone, when they die you can only think of the good things (not that I hate Steve Irwin; I don't even have anything against him).
Let this be a lesson to us...haha. But seriously, two things you can think about: "Life is short and you don't know which moment will be your last, so make each moment last and live it like it IS your last" and "Neber eber disterb da balans op neychur" or "Go live and be extreme, but don't risk your life on it". Huwatebber. Haha. Bye. :))
