(Dang, I'm so sorry I can't give much credit, I wasn't able to copy the link of the site. I'm really sorry..) Let's all support our country in the best way that we can, by praying. God bless us all! :)

You Just Can't Have Everything

Labels: , , , , , , , , , , , , - Friday, July 17, 2009

Right after another historic Game 7 between the Beermen and the Ginkings, here I am, blogging. And because I'm too excited to share my thoughts, I don't have a picture yet. Haha. Anyway,

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SAN MIGUEL BEERMEN!

If you ask me, they totally deserve it. They started this conference BIG, leading the way with an 11-3 after the elimination round and taking the first outright semi-finals berth even though played without their main men who got injured. They did everything step by step, and being humble in every step of the way. They waited for 4 long years before taking another championship and that's tough for a team that everyone's expecting to win because of their supposed powerhouse lineup. They waited patiently for their players to recover while making other improved bench players play.


And tonight, the Beermen have proven that they still have what it takes to be called CHAMPIONS. They fought hard, they strived hard not to give up any easy baskets. They played hard even if more than half of the fans in the Big Dome were against them. They did their best to win for God, for their fans and for themselves.


Jonas Villanueva won the Finals MVP Award which was won by Eric Menk and Ronald Tubid last year. Well, he deserves it. He worked hard and maybe, just maybe, this is his season. He won the Most Improved Player award recently and now he's an MVP. Meanwhile, Coach Siot Tanquincen, Coach Jong's former mentee and the coach almost every SMB fan hated, was the man of the moment a while ago. Someone actually carried him on his shoulders while the coach was smiling and waving at everyone. Now, I wonder, where the hell are these haters?


Anyway, Ginebra, probably, did not win the title, even if they had the talent, because it's actually a lesson for everyone. YOU CAN'T HAVE EVERYTHING. They were hailed All Filipino Cup Champions last year, they bagged a couple of awards recently in the Leo Awards, and they have millions of fans! We can now apply the quote, "you can't have everything, where would you put it?" in this situation. Don't believe me? Let's look at the signs. Sunday Salvacion, known to be a shooter and not a defender, was shut off the game in the first quarter right? David Noel, known to be a consistent player was not able to hit the shots he's used to taking a while ago. Coach Jong Uichico, a great tactician, seemed to run out of ideas and strategies in the game's crucial moments. Maybe I'm being weird again but that's my opinion and this is my blog! :))


We can't bring back what's lost, no one can. Fans can't make their teams win by being bitter or by saying foul stuff about players and referees. To take things lightly, let's just reminisce on some funny lines (well, for me anyway) during the dugout interview by Magoo Marjon a while ago.

"Yung mga manok!" -- Mark Pingris, making fun of Danny I for greeting the people who take care of his chickens last game

"Babati ako, babati ako!" -- Danny Ildefonso, when his teammates were pouring beer on him

"MVP! MVP!" -- Beermen, cheering for Jonas

"Tama na, tama na!" -- Jonas Villanueva, trying to tell his teammates to keep quiet 'cause he probably can't hear Magoo's questions and can't answer to them properly

"Ang sarap maligo sa San Miguel beer!" -- Olsen Racela, as he gets wet by his teammates who were pouring beer on him.


Goodbye PBA for the meantime. :( See you next season! I'm sooooo excited, can't wait.. I wanna know about the draftees and trades now! Hahahaha. PBA, Atin 'to! Thanks for a great season!


Upcoming Events:
July 18, 2009 - Philippines vs. Jordan at 5 pm, telecast on July 19 at 1 pm (ESPN)
August 2, 2009 - Annual Rookie Draft

I'll be posting RP Team's complete schedule in the Jones Cup together with the television listings later on. By the way, the Rookie Draft will again be held in Market! Market! I'll also be posting on trades and other off-season stuff. Ciao for now!

Danny I says sorry, SMB extends series

Labels: , , , , , - Thursday, July 16, 2009

Last night was the unforgettable Game 6 of the 2009 Motolite PBA Fiesta Conference Finals against SMB and BGK. The big dome was painted white last night with all Ginebra fans wearing white to show their support for their favorite team and in response to the instruction from Asst. Coach Allan Caidic. It was an extremely NOISY game, Ginebra fans cheering their hearts out especially when their favorite players made difficult baskets or long three-pointers.


Ginebra fans seemed confident, I heard a lot of people say that SMB will take their sad loss.. Hey, where are they now? Haha. Sorry, I'm not a biased fan.. I just hate it when fans become too overconfident for their own good. Anyway, SMB won last night. I have no idea how they won or when they started to take the lead. (*annoyed* was too busy to watch the game.) All I know is that they won and that Danny I was interviewed as the best player of the ball game.


The interview was wonderful though, I don't think any part of the game would top that. Danny I answered a few questions first but then, suddenly, things went to greeting his family members, all Ilocanos, and even those who take care of his chickens in his farm (according to my aunt, they own a farm). He said hi to his daughter Sophia and his 2 boys. (forgot the name! sorry) Later on he apologized to the fans saying that he's only human and commits mistakes. When he was being interviewed, I was teary-eyed. Dang, he's one of my PBA idols! When I watched him live for the first time last May, I couldn't help but clap and cheer my heart out even if I didn't know him that much! Also, I love him as a father, he's a great father.. I do hope and pray that his daughter gets well soon..


Danny has already expressed his sincere apology to Mr. Nervandez and to the fans, I hope that this issue will never be a stupid issue ever again. Some fans commented badly last night when he committed a grammatical error. I say, stop it! So what? Are you perfect? Even Americans who speak English each and every efffing second commit grammatical errors! To Mars with you! Maybe, just maybe, they're too bitter since their team wasn't able to take the Championship trophy last night. This is one of the things I hate about some fans, they always look for ways on how to embarrass a player. Oh whatever, what's done is done. Game 7 tomorrow, don't forget! Also, Powerade Team Pilipinas' first game on the 18th. And today is our first anniversary. LOL. (Macky and I) I got addicted to him starting July 16 last year.. Share! :))

Jones Cup!

green no more :))

Labels: , - Tuesday, April 28, 2009

Finally, I was able to replace my freakishly green layout! :) This is great. :) Sadly, I spent about an hour picking the layout, half an hour in trying if they'll work, half an hour in looking for some more sites with more user-friendly layouts, and another half hour in changing stuff in the new layout, all because of my uber slow computer. :\


Anyway, I'm busy with my review (for college entrance tests) right now. The review's actually one of the reasons why I haven't updated the blog yet. Also, my CPU needs more memory. I have soooo many files here and all of them (well, for me) are important. I haven't found a computer repair shop nearby yet so, most unfortunately, I won't be able to do something about this yet. :(


This week is actually our 2009 Motolite PBA All-Star Week. :) Tomorrow will be the first of three games this week, it'll be between the North All-Star Team + selected imports and the Powerade Team Pilipinas. The game will be in Victorias City in Negros Occidental. I'm encouraging, no, forcing, everyone to watch! :)) It will be a good challenge for the RP Team and I hope that they'll be able to prove themselves tomorrow.


North All-Star Team:

^ Starters: Marc Pingris, Rico Villanueva, Paul Artadi, Macmac Cardona, Danny Ildefonso*

^ Reserves: Jay-R Reyes, Gary David, Gabby Espinas, LA Tenorio, Joseph Yeo

^ Coach: Tim Cone of Alaska

*in exchange of Lordy Tugade who's suffering an injury. latest news says that he won't be playing though. now, the question is, who'll be playing in exchange of him?


Powerade Team Pilipinas:

That's all for now. I'll update the blog as soon as I can. :]
