Ateneo Blue Eagles.. UAAP Season 71 Champ

The UAAP Season 71 has finally come to an end as the Ateneo Blue Eagles sweep off their bitter rival, the DLSU Green Archers in the Game 2 of the UAAP seniors men basketball finals and cop another title.

It was in 2002 when Ateneo last won a title which was also against the multititled DLSU.. 6 years.. quite long.. Coach Norman and the rest of the team assured that DLSU will never have the chance to retain its title and extend the tournament until sunday.

Chris Tiu, among all others, wanted this season to end perfectly. Having his last season this year, he assured that just before he leaves, Ateneo gets the title and so they did. They have their fourth title since joining the league.

But there's more reasons for Ateneo to celebrate. Earlier before the game yesterday was the awarding ceremonies and most of the awardees were from the champion team. Rabeh Al-Huseinni who plays center was the MVP and Ryan Buenafe who was pretty obvious a good player was the ROY for the season.

Indeed, Ateneo is a well-oiled machine who never stops till it reaches the top.

Congrats Ateneo. ONE BIG FIGHT!

See you all in Season 72!

UAAP Season 71 Game 1 Tickets

tomorrow will be the UAAP Season 71 Finals Game 1 between ADMU and DLSU.

after 6 years, two rivals will again meet at UAAP finals battling for the crown and the title. It was in 2002 when these schools last met in the championship wherein ADMU won. It was during Enrico Villanueva and L.A Tenorio's time who are both in the PBA now.

pinakaabangan talaga basta Ateneo at Lasalle.. kaya naman sold out na lahat ng tickets para bukas.
meron din iba may sobrang ticket pero wag ka, shocking ang price!

kung ang dating 55 pesos lang na ticket for Gen Ad, ibinibid na ngayon sa eBay, and the bid starts at 300 pesos. naku naman! pati ba naman ticket para sa UAAP ay nagsimahalan na.

ito pa ang mas nakakaloka.. bidding start at Php25,000 for Patron seats! o laban ka sa presyo?!

here's a rundown of the ticket and the amount of which the bid starts:

Gen Ad - Php 300
Upper B - Php 1,000 (but if you want it to buy immediately, the cost ranges from Php1,500 to Php2000)
Upper A - Php 4,000
Patron - Php 25,000

Kung ako man ay taga Ateneo o Lasalle, kahit kasing yaman pa ako ni Lucio Tan, ay sus! practical akong tao, hindi ako bibili nyan. (*kuripot mode)

Why spend a big amount of money if you can watch it on TV? Live din naman yan and you can cheer as loud as you want kapareho nang ginagawa mo kung nasa venue ka.. Tama?

But anyways, goodluck to Ateneo and Lasalle.

May the best team wins! (but i would love it if Ateneo takes the 1st game ;] )

Spongecola - Puso

The country's number 1 band (for me.. ;)), Spongecola, will be launching it's third album soon.

Even if the album isn't released yet, the album's first single, Puso, is being used as the concluding song for every after UAAP games on Studio 23. I think it's the official song for the UAAP Season 71.

The song is very motivating. It encourages you to be believe in yourself and do your best in everything that you do - isapuso lahat ng ginagawa - and you will surely make it to the top.

MYX has already played the video and i'm pretty sure it will be in the no.1 spot in the countdown..

In the video you will see athletes/students from member schools of UAAP.

Watch out for Spongecola's third album and get inspired with Puso..

Laarni Losala : Grand Star Dreamer



The long wait is over. Philippines now has its newest grand star dreamer – Laarni Losala.

Laarni (aka The Independent Woman) from Sultan Kudarat is the 2nd grand star dreamer of Pinoy Dream Academy. It really pays if you have the talent and you dream big! Of course, it is also important to have a lot of supporters. If you go to Tacurong City and Isulan, Sultan Kudarat you will see tarps showing people's support to her. Isn't it overwhelming if your kababayans especially your government officials have their support on you and help you in fulfilling your dreams?

Bugoy Drilon and Miguel Mendoza were the 2nd and 3rd placer while Liezel Garcia, Van Pojas and Cris Pastor belonged to the top 4 - 6.

Congratulations to the Top 6.

Congratulations to Laarni and to the people of Sultan Kudarat! Her victory is the victory of the whole Sultan Kudarat.

The PDA Little Dreamers is not finished yet and in behalf of the Mindanaoan people, i am asking you to please continue supporting Philip of Gen. Santos City.

Laarni and Philip serve as an inspiration to all young and talented people of Mindanao.

MABUHAY MINDANAO!

2008 UAAP Cheerdance Competition

UP Pep Squad won again. It's what i expected. They were great. Nice.

My top 3 would have been UP, UST/AdU and FEU.. but the final result was UP, UST and FEU.. huwaaat?! AdU lost? Oh C'mon! AdU's better than UST's. Pwede namang mag Tie.. diba??

i was disappointed with the performance of UE. it's as if they were perfoming in a high school cheerdance competition.

im a UE fan, i had big expectation. sad to say, they didn't make it. better luck next time.

and to those who are claiming UP doesn't deserve it, you're wrong. watch it again. you'll see..

and AdU should have won 2nd! grr.. ;D

peace! this is an unbiased opinion! talo nga UE ko eh.. =(

swimming..

i just got some of the pics we had from our pool "party" last saturday. i thought it would be nice to make a collage out of it. the pics that you can see are piling-pili, syempre yung ok sa paningin ko lang yung kinuha ko.. hahaha..

i had so much fun kahit konti lang kami. most of my workmates who were assigned on night shift weren't able to make it. some were tired, some went home to Gensan to spend their weekend there. despite being kulang, we went to the resort and do what has been planned.. swimming!! it's like bonding and relaxation time din for us. even heroes need rest! ;D

sana maulit to.. i know it will!

bound or unbound..

Life in its broadest sense is crucial… When faced with problems and atrocities, one usually asks, “Is this what destiny can offer me?” We sometimes do not want to recognize our shortcomings, afraid to take the risk of whether to make the move or not, and as a defense for the wrong choices we’ve made, we blame it on something else – fate.

According to a philosophy of Oriental View, “those who live of gentle submissiveness to the cosmic powers flowing in the universe allow these powers to control their destiny.” These persons make the most of their time achieving by consulting first and conforming to the dictates of the horoscope, fortune tellers, and many other ways of forecasting the future. With the kind of satisfaction and security they receive, they are not aware that they no longer provide themselves the autonomy set before them – the right to self will.

While it is true that God has a specific plan and purpose for our existence that does not mean that we’ll just sit down and wait whatever may happen. No one knows what He has prepared for us. We really have to work for it. The things we enjoy and nourish at present are the ones revealed while the best remains unknown. What lies ahead are yet to be unraveled. It is a good thing for those who view life as a constant struggle for the ultimate end.

We all share the same ideals; we keep on acquiring knowledge in pursuit of bright future. We should not cease to seek opportunities so that we will have a worthwhile existence. We should not resent failure because it brings new hope and success.

Our future depends on what we did and who we were when we were young. All we need to do is to plan ahead, set goals and seek for ourselves what is in store for us. Still, we are held responsible for our lives for we are the ones who shape our future, provided we anticipate things beyond our control. And soon we will realize that the key to a happy life is to embark on our sound decisions.
