Hail to De La Salle!

Go La Salle! Woooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooo!

Sorry, I don't mean to gloat and I don't want to be a sore winner (lalo na loser) but masyado lang talaga ako masaya. I'm still in such a high after all the cheering awhile ago. Pagbigyan niyo na ako, please. Hehehe.

La Salle won!!! Woohoo! Ang importante pasok na kami sa finals. Nevermind the critics, the naysayers and of course the sourgrapers, we have the last say (and laugh - bwahahaha!) now. Kahit ano pa sabihin nila we won fair and square. Bragging rights is ours until the next season at least. Well in my honest to goodness observation lang naman, generally hindi talaga mahilig magyabang ang mga La Sallista so the Ateneo people need not worry. Siyempre better if we win the championship but sobrang okay and malaking achievement na ito since (1) losing to Ateneo would be really heartbreaking and (2) playing against Ateneo wasn't all easy especially for those times when we almost had the win. Undeniably, all games were evenly matched and played. Both teams fought real hard. In all fairness, magaling din talaga ang Ateneo. However it should be noted that this season, we won when it mattered most. On our two wins, we won when we had to earn the right to the twice to beat advantage and today, we won when we had to earn the right to the finals. Galing. Props to Coach Franz and the entire DLSU team and management. Hard work and team work talaga.

Animo La Salle!

Work vs Watch

Friday, September 28, 2007

I think I may have gotten to a little trouble for opting to watch the game live yesterday rather than attending a meeting that I was already pre-assigned to days before. I may very well be on the bad side of...take note! the boss of my boss now. Sheesh, it’s tough as it is already being on the bad side of my boss, what more now?

Yeah I know my priorities are all jumbled right now but it wasn’t as if I had a critical role in the meeting anyway. I think I would’ve only wasted the time away daydreaming. Hay, I'm not sure if my officemates were able to cover up for me as I asked them to.

Oh well, what can I do? I really wanted to watch the game live more so getting to score tickets to the game is like finding a needle in a haystack. As in this case, more like finding diamonds because we were able to score good seats.

Heck…even if La Salle lost, I’d still choose to watch the game live regardless of the repurcussions at work. It was so worth it.

Blah

I don’t know why but I’ve been feeling kinda lethargic slash sluggish these past two days. Case in point, I missed my alarm this morning. I must’ve unconsciously turned it off, forgetting to press on the snooze button. Instead, I woke up to the sound of my sister’s alarm which was set to 8:25 am. Napasarap ata yung tulog ko. Wowowee! I had close to an hour’s worth of extra sleep (hehe). I've accepted the fact that I was late already and I was no super(wo)man or flash or speedy gonzales - take your pick. Nonetheless, I still had to "diligently" rush to work to beat 9:00 am. It’s a good thing SMPC isn’t that far from the house. Phew!

Hay for some reason, I’m feeling out of it. I feel lazy! I don’t have the drive as of the moment. I must’ve lost it along the way. Hopefully, the next couple of days/weeks/months will be better. I think I need something to get me going – some sort of inspiration siguro or whatever. I don't want to go all emotional and senti again so I'll stop now and leave it at whatever (hehe).

In the meantime though, music is my energizer. See what’s on top of my playlist right now:

1. Timbaland feat. Francisco and Keri Hilson – The Way I Are
2. Kanye West - Stronger
3. 50 Cent feat. Justin Timberlake – She Wants It (Ayo Technology)
4. Amber – Back Into You
5. Rihanna feat. Neyo – Hate That I Love You
6. Kanye West feat. T. Pain - Good Life

7. Nelly – Whadsyaname
8. Gym Class Heroes – Cupids Chokehold
9. Toni Gonzaga – I’ve Fallen For You
10. Dashboard Confessional - Stolen

11. Faber Drive – Tongue Tied
12. Sum 41 – Pieces (Piano Acoustic)

13. Quietdrive - Rush Together and I Lie Awake

I'm usually partial to Alternative and R&B but for some weird reason and with the exception of a couple of songs, I’m on hip-hop mode right now. I'm loving hip-hop! I hope Timbaland, Kanye and the rest of the gang will continue to keep the beats and sounds going.

Green All the Way

Congrats to Ateneo. We may have lost but it was undeniably a game we fought hard for. I was practically at the edge of my seat as it went down the wire. I super love watching the games live. I especially love the school spirit - ibang klase kasi talaga! School pride is at its best - ang galing talaga. Bilib ako sa school pride ng mga tao, mine included! Also everytime I watch, it feels as if I get to temporarily escape from reality and get to set or forget other things aside and just relax and enjoy myself - in the true sense of the word.

I'm still hoping though that we'll still have a good chance of getting in to the finals. Just the same, win or lose...solid Green Archer ako all the way. I'm too damn proud to be a part of the La Sallian community. Animo La Salle!

Sorry, diehard eh (hehe).

Game Na

Saturday, September 08, 2007

Aside from looking forward (more like hoping) to seeing my crush everyday (kung sinisuwerte), I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s game between La Salle and Ateneo. We were very fortunate enough to score tickets – second row seats, mind you! Special thanks to uncle Andrew and auntie Kathie. I’m so thrilled and excited. Well at least there’s something to look forward to…

I hope La Salle wins too. Go La Salle!

My Thinking Problem

I have a lot on my mind right now. My thoughts seem to be working overtime these past couple of days – weeks even.

Shit happened. I wasn’t really blind sighted. In fact, I sort of saw it coming and did my best to deal albeit my best wasn’t good enough. Oh well shit happens. So what else is new?

On the other end, I’m wishing for a couple of things to happen that well, unfortunately didn’t. If only I knew how or where to start or if I really could, I would’ve probably already made it happen by now. Ha! yeah right. (Chicken!).

So there goes my thinking plate. It’s overflowing with a good mix of intelligent, meaningful, trivial and senseless thoughts – nothing that I can’t handle though. In fairness, yakang-yaka naman (hehe).

My game plan as of the moment is to temporarily detach myself from my thoughts. I don’t think I want to think about things right now. Sheesh, you see my point? (Oops! - no pun intended) I did it again just right now. Thinking too much, that is. Having two think’s in a sentence isn’t a good start (hehe). I have to detach myself because I don’t want to overanalyze things. Well it’s more like I have to stop overanalyzing things. Heck, some things may not even mean or worth anything at all. So I'm going to take a hiatus from too much thinking. I have to. Believe me, sometimes too much thinking doesn't help solve anything at all.

The more important matter is I don’t want to succumb to the pressures imposed by whatever thing/event/norm/belief/person/s. I don’t want to pressure myself either. Again, it’s more like I have to learn to stop pressuring myself too much. I need to give myself a break. I have to.

So basta steady lang. I’m just going to take it easy. I'm going to blow up my salbabida, go with the flow, enjoy the ride and see where the tide takes me.
