From this:



It was a fundraiser event to help out Eug3n3 T3j3da, a basketball player who suffered a freak accident last Mother's day. I watched the game and saw what happend. As a player, it frigthened me cause it really never occured to me that basketball can be that dangerous. It was... for a lack of a better word... shocking.

I felt for him for whatever therapy, rehabilataion and such he has to undergo. I did not imagine that would be able to help out his guy. The sister and boyfriend of a friend of mine asked us to lend a helping hand for the said event. As a basketball affecianado, I was game.

It was tiring and at the same time fun. I was assigned to usher people in the VIP section. My task was simple, I had to direct people to their seats. And for that, I got to watch the game, see celebs, eat free food, etc. Imagine, I was beside C!ndy Kurl3t0! Haha! J-logs.

Result:


(L-R) R0b J0hns0n, Jam3s Yap, Al3x C0mpt0n and Marc P!ingr!s

Haha. Such an opportunista!

One Baduy Experience

The phone rang.

A random number was displayed.

I answered it with the notion that it might be someone I knew.

It turned out to be a wrong number.

I placed the phone down and blocked of whatever he had to say.

Then a text message followed:

Hi gup pm sori 4 bothering u can we be txtmate? I’m albert, and u r?

Are you still up?

I was thinking about us. And I think I would like to give us a shot.

Sira! Tayo na kaya!

Nahihirapan na ako. Pwede bang tigilan mo na ako? Sorry...

Panic Monday

I am back!
And what better way to greet me but a 12 hour shift until October 31!

The terms and conditions are all in a blur right now. I have been staring at the email and re-reading it countless times but I cannot seem to understand it. Then again, maybe I just dont want to accept it.

Blah.

Check this out for some pics regarding my so called biz trip.

:)

For now, back to reality.

Leaving On A Jet Plane

I will be hoping in an aeroplane in 5 hours.
I haven't packed yet!
I am still in my work clothes.
Wishing that my short trip will be fruitful.
Goodluck to me.

I'll be back on Monday.

Mixed Nuts

My friend casually told me that he broke up with his girlfriend. I was numb. Things between them seemed smooth sailing. My friend treated her well. He loved her.

Just because of a misunderstanding...boom! "Forget about it"!

Part of me felt sad for what happened. I only want the best for him and not settle for anything less than what he deserves.

However a tiny part of me was glad. He is single! As if... he is miles away.

Brutal

We had a game versus Accenture at The Z0ne. The place was amazing! Their court was beautiful! It was way better compared to the one we had at school. It had wooden flooring, fiber glass, electronic scoreboards and shot clocks, etc. Nakaka-enganyo maglaro. Then again, bulok naman yung sa school.

The team played relatively well. We, rather some of my teammates were able to run and complete fastbreaks. The pace was good however, we kinda ran out of steam during the last quarter. Good thing we were already ahead.

We badly need to work on our conditioning and rebounding cause how can we make baskets if we do not have the ball. Offense-wise, I think we still have it in us. We need to be patient and dictate the pace. As a whole, the team improved.

Was it the ambiance and atmosphere that energize us?

Oh, wait til you see the bathroom! It had aircon! And.. hot shower! It was huge and clean. Too bad I was not able to experience the hot shower cause I only had a tiny towel. It would take me years to dry myself! So I just freshened up. Then when I stepped on the trash can to open, nothing happened. The stupid thing did not move! Out of I do not know, I slapped/punched the trashcan/lockers. Whoa! I did not see that coming. When I looked at my hand, it was bleeding. FYI, I was not drunk. Maybe annoyed just annoyed.

I guess nothing is perfect.

Pumapatak Nanaman Ang Ulan

Bakit laging bumabagsak ang ulan tuwing ako ay papauwi na? Pwede naman sa hapon o di kaya sa umaga ngunit bakit kailangan sa gabi?

Katulad noong Lunes, kitang kita ko ang mga kidlat at rinig na rinig ko ang mga kulog habang ako ay nasa isang pagpupulong. Ako ay nakaramdam ng konting takot sapagkat hindi tiyak kung anong oras matatapos ang pagpupulong at kung anong itsura ng mga kalye paglabas ko... o makikita pa nga ba ang mga daan.

Martes, hindi ko napansin ang umaabon pala hanggang noong lumabas ako. Nagtatalo pa kami kung paano kami uuwi... taxi, mrt o bus. Ang bus ang nanalo. Habang papunta na kami sa sakayan narinig ko ang aking pangalan. Tinatawag ako ng isa kong kasama sa opisina at inaayo akong sumabay sa kanya. Syempre sa una medyo parang walang wala nanaman ang itsura pero nakisabay din.

Miercoles, buti naman at hindi umulan at hindi masyadong abala umuwi.

Huwebes, kamusta naman ulan? Nag-trekking tuloy yung dalawa kong ka opisina na kumuha ng sasakyan habang kami ay nag antay sa lobby habang pinanonood ang isang ipis. Tapos nagsisikan kaming 9 sa loob para hindi mabasa.

Biyernes, hello ulan! Sobrang lakas ng buhos at may umaagos ng tubig sa harap ng opisina. Sayang at wala akong papel na bangka. Ang saya kayo nun!

Nagkakataon lamang ba na umuulan tuwing gabi?

Hay. Sana tumigil na ang pagpatak ng ulan para naman matuloy ang mga plano ko sa buhay.

Aral: Pumasok ng maaga para makauwi ng maaga habang hindi umuulan. Kung hindi, maghanda mag pedicab hangang Shangri-la. :)

* - BER Month

Hello never ending sneezes and dripping sipon!

I feel so groggy.
I wasn't able to enjoy lunch as much as I wanted toooooo.
I had to skip badminton.
I had to pass up a movie.

What a way to start the BER month!
