On DK

The early origins of DK began 1st quarter of 2010 when a group of beginners decided to form a team in order to join those PUA organized leagues. DK made its first appearance in the Summer League of the same year under pool C. It was quite an experience. The level of competition was way different compared to the other instances the individuals played in – Plastic Virgins, Nestea Fit, Heads Up, etc. In order words, DK went to school in Summer League. Despite DK’s noob exposure, the players did not lose hope and continued playing. Some inserted themselves in M&M and Spirits alongside other teams --- SLU, Paterrors, DUO, Warriors and RG.

Now DK is back together and is set to play in New Year League 2011. And guess what? DK is in Pool B2! I don’t know if that is supposed to be a compliment or if some politics were involved. Well whatever, bring it on. Our skill level may not be at par with the other teams in our bracket but what can we do? We can only push ourselves and give it our best starting in training and hopefully that good attitude will carry over to the games.

How would we know what we can and cannot do unless we try?

Ultimate!

Haiku 1

I dread going to work.
Each day is a huge struggle.
I am tired. Period.

Help! Go or no go?
Motivation, where are you?
Show up… pretty please!

Look at the bright side, so-called poetry came out. Lol.

On Another Medya Moment

I honestly do not know what is with me and socks but I tend to forget to bring a pair for basketball and/or ultimate. Having this knowledge in mind, I mentally prepare my socks when I fix my stuff for practice. I also double check if I do have socks when I am on my way to the venue. However, these are not enough.

Case One:
I got 2 pairs and placed it on top of my dresser so I can see them. I know I placed at least one pair in my bag. Come shoe time, I cannot seem to find my socks! I drastically searched inside my bag, but the other pair was nowhere to be found. Good thing I did not take out the socks I used 2 days ago. :|

Case Two:
I placed a pair in my bag. On the way to the venue I verified if I had it in there. It was there, but lo and behold when I unrolled the socks, there was only a SOCK! The partner was nowhere in sight. Luckily, my friend who earlier had her own medya moment got a pair from her friend looked inside her bag and found her 2 pairs. Safe!

On My Amnesia Girl

Ang true love ay para sa matatapang na tao lamang.
Duwag ako, at hindi siya matapang... kaya ito ako... at andun siya.


Ang utak pwedeng makalimot pero ang puso laging nakakaalala.
Kahit ilang oras, linggo, buwan at taon ng nakalipas, hindi parin nalilimutan.

On Logins

When I got back from a 2-week vacation I forgot my login. So I called TSD to have it reset. Apparently, there is a new process now. I had to ask a notification from anyone from HR to get a new password. Luckily, one person was already in at 9AM. I explained my case and she said she would get to it.

To pass time, I got water and read the verses for today. Fifteen minutes elapsed and I still did not get any feedback. So I played Collapse to pass time. After another 15 minutes, still no call. So I contacted TSD and asked if my request is good to go. Sadly, no notification was received. I asked how will I know if my login is okay? TSD said that they’ll just give me call. After another 15 minutes, I got a call asking if I logged my in helpdesk. Camon, how will I log it there if I do not have an access? In the end, after an hour I was able to log in.

Lesson: do not forget your login.

On Falling Inlove Again

You know that you are my first love and you will forever be a part of me. It is difficult not to think about you and what more when I decided to distance myself from you. However, that was a decision I had to make to become a better person.

We’ve been separated for half a year but here I am again, trying to make another come back. Yes, I am a comeback queen, but how could I resist you? You are a huge influence in my life. You have somewhat shaped who I am today. So, would you accept me willingly or would make me have a hard time?

And I wanna fall in love with you again
I don’t have to try, it’s so easy
Who needs to pretend?

How about you?

On Random People

The other day, while I was on my way to the car I saw a familiar face inside a coffee shop. I am not good with faces so I walked slowly to verify if it was him. Lo and behold, it was really him! There I was lost. I did not know what to do as he came out of the shop and made his way towards me and greeted me with matching beso. Eep. In fairness, I was able to manage to utter some small talk :) Good job!

What will you do when you see someone you know in a random place?
Will you be the first one to approach or acknowledge the presence of the other person?
Or will you pretend that you did not see the other person and go on with your business?
If ever there is a next time, how should I handle the situation? Boo.

Oh Insomia
Tossing and turning in bed
Sleep please come to me

On The Dangers of Life

Death is part of life but the murder is not. I just found out that one of the uncles of my teammate was shot. The killer waited for him and shot him 5 times.

I never met her uncle. All I know that he is a politician. Does being one political figure involve risking one's life above all? Would you take that risk having the knowledge that there are people willing to kill another fellow man for whatever reason? What happened to love your neighbors? Life is truly scary.

May his soul rest in peace.

I need strength to stop
To control this emotion
Head please restrain heart

Thanks.

Kids Say The Darnest Things

Background:
My aunt passed the phone to her son who was eating his lunch at 3pm.

ME: Hey, how are you doing?
Cousin: Good talking to you.

LOL

On Restraints

There is nothing bad in wishing that things will turn out as one dream it to be. However, when things do not go out as desired, one should learn when to stop wishing. Well, not really stop cause at times, hope is the only things that keeps someone sane, but somehow put a limit and control ones actions and not do foolish things.

So there. ENOUGH. This has to stop. OK. I restrain myself in a vain attempt to finish this madness. It is not meant to be, so why force it? Help me Kuya Jess to accept, let go and move on.

There are more things to life than failed dreams. There are miracles waiting to happen one just needs to be persistent and positive. :)

On NYR for 2011

A resolution needs commitment in order to achieve a goal. Sadly, I lacked dedication for my New Years Resolution for 2010. I was too lenient towards myself. I did not push myself to reach my goal.

As I analyze my NYR last year, I believe all are attainable and realistic. I just need to actualize the ideas by making step by step plans with deadlines, actions and alternatives to reach my goals. As they say, a lifestyle change does not happen overnight.

Revised NYR for 2011
1. Lessen Internet time. Instead read/write more.
- 30 minutes only of internet usage at home
- Write at least 100 words a day, aka update blog
- Start with reader’s digest or books bought but not read
2. Improve relationship with the ULTIMATE
- Take time to pray before retiring and waking up
- Read the bible
3. Exercise Exercise Exercise
- try to sleep earlier (1am the latest) to wake up by 630 to exercise
4. Positive Thinking
- Happy thoughts go a long way. Always wear a smile. :)
5. CAREER
- Don’t be afraid. Be aggressive.
6. Better ME
- :)
7. SAVE SAVE SAVE
- take note of my spending especially credit card bills
- save at least xxx,xxx.xx by December 2011

This is it pansit, letzgow!
Now is the time I dare to follow my 'dreams'.
