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.
