Two years and counting
June 1 2009
Was the date I fell in love
Some think I'm foolish
Cause I give U importance
And give U much time
Not a day has passed
Without U crossing my mind
I didnt think this'll last
I am not the best
Still have a lot to improve
And I'll work on it
It's not been easy
Many obstacles lingers
But that won't stop me
Nakakagigil!
U pushed me to my limits
Towards a purpose
With U I'm at peace
Hungry for more experiences
The sorrows and joys
This I'll assure U
Optimize and maximize
Each moment with U
Cheers to our 2 years!

On Attitude
Nothing can stop the person with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the person with the wrong mental attitude.
According to Mr. Webster, attitude is the way a person views something. It is the manner of thinking, feeling and acting that reveals one's disposition and opinion. Attitude plays an important role in sports. Athletes with a negative outlook will most likely have a not so good outcome compared to athletes with a positive outlook.
Attitude is how we perceive things. If we think we are going to lose even if the game has not started yet, then right there we have lost already. On the other hand, if we think we can take the opponent then at least there is confidence and we are a step closer to actually winning. Having a positive attitude is a habit. If we train with discipline then it will carry over to games. If we do things the right way then we will correctly master it. Then again, if we do things incorrectly many times then unconsciously mastering the wrong thing and it will be part of our system. Thus having the right attitude goes a long way. Even if we are not the most skilled team but we are really try our best and give our 100% plus effort then eventually we will improve.
Also, whenever we are in a bad situation, we should approach it in a positive way. We should always keep keep our heads up. If not, then the situation may become worse. On the other hand, if we approach the situation in positive way then somehow the light at the end of the end may be seen. If we hold onto a great attitude while we go through our present reality, we will be forming our next reality that is coming down the pipeline.
Ultimately, attitude is the key. Sadly, it is not something that can be thought or bought. Even if how much motivation or what so is planted in one's mind but the individual does not want to respond then there is nothing that can be done.

On Ultimate Sport
Skills
It is a given that in every sport one must have skills. There are different skill levels but it is ideal to have a good foundation. So the questions are: What skills do I lack and need to work on? What skills do I currently possess and could improve on?
Physical Fitness
The fitter athlete has an advantage even if skill level is not the same. Nothing can replace physical fitness especially in long points/games. What do I need to increase my endurance, stamina, explosiveness, etc?
Opponents
It pays to know the opponent. As stated in the Art of War, It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent? How can I capitalize?
Resilience
The battle is not over until the time has elapsed or a team has reached a certain number of points. If none of those situations are met, the show must go on despite whatever the circumstances are. How can I continue to play and give it my all even if we are behind/tired? How can I not be affected whenever others are demoralized? How can I keep the good morale?
Team
Ultimate is a team sport. In team, Together Everyone Achieves More. What can I do to help the team? What is my role? Are my goals aligned with the goals of the team?

On Missing You
Almost a year already yet I dearly miss you. Things are not the same without you -- it feels incomplete. Toiletries and meals are not prepared upon arrival. Days are quiet -- void of your novena.
Am I greatly affected because I am your palangga? I doubt it since you equally love your apos just the same. You make it a point that everything is well taken care. You make it a point that we have all that we need so that we will enjoy our stay. You make it a point that we know what a family is. Ultimately, you make it a point that we feel loved.
I love you Lola. It was the first time I saw you at your resting place after our "goodbye". Though you are in a better place, you will always be in my thoughts and heart. The values and love that you have showed me will keep me going. Please do help us in good times and especially in hard times. I miss you Lola, but life goes on. Until we meet again up there.

On Feeling - -
I just didn't think someone like you could ever like someone like me.
Then again, ang feeling ko naman na isipin ito. LOL.
