Wesley Gonzales! :]


I have a picture that's more informal than this pero akin nalang yun! Baka mamaya agawin nyo pa. :)) I don't know when I actually noticed this guy 'cause I just started cheering for him while watching. Hehe. I really like him y'know. As in.. Naalala ko tuloy nung battle for third. Super bitter ko kasi natalo ng Sta. Lucia ang San Miguel. I actually cheered for San Miguel that time because of Wesley, not because I like San Miguel as a team. Sayang kasi.. Eh di sana si Wesley yung best player nun. Haay. Kabitter! Eh di sana siya yung masaya at "savior" nila nun, hindi si Dennis Espino. I have nothing against Espino pero maka-Wesley talaga ako eh! Ever since I found out about "The Green Mile Issue," si Wesley naging crying shoulder ko. (waah, feeler. wish ko lang.) Basta, sa kanya ata napunta lahat ng attention ko for Jondan? Hahaha. Grabe, sabi kasi sa inyo natraumatize ako dun sa movie na yun! *goosebumps* It's not a horror movie, guys and girls. It's actually about God. Problem is, you're gonna witness the death of some innocent people in prison. Yung pinaka naging problema ko sa movie na yun is yung pinabayaan ni Tom Hanks (kung ano mang name nya sa movie) na mamatay yung big man na nagpapagaling ng may sakit using his God-given powers. Gosh, I'm going off-topic again! :)) Basta, made my point. I love Wesley Gonzales! :) Believe it or not, boto ang lola ko sa gusto ko. :)) Gwapo nga daw eh. Hahahaha! Oh di ba, buti pa lola ko may taste! Yun kasing sister ko at yung tita ko wala. :)) I'll actually sleep late later despite my migraine 'cause the telecast of their game is at 11:45. I will not miss that! Go Wild Wild Wes! :) I do hope he'll be the game's best player again. If not, well, he'll always be my heart's best player. :)

Hello, 2009 Motolite Fiesta Conference! :]

This also meant hello imports! Wee, so happy to see my favorite players again. :] First game was against the Burger King Titans and the Sta. Lucia Realtors in Dumaguete. I'm so freakingly scared of Anthony Johnson, Sta. Lucia's import. He's so good! Yeah, but weird enough, the Titans won even if their import wasn't that good to rely on. (sorry..) Well, I guess they used their combined powers; they meaning the locals. And, of course, they won because of the great strategies from their tactician, former RB coach, Coach Yeng Guiao. It felt so great seeing Chad Alonzo (former Giant) playing and looking hotter. ;)) Also felt nice seeing Cyrus Baguio (former RB star) scoring with double digits and seeing Beau Belga (also a former Giant) contribute for Burger King. So yeah, BK won. It was a close fight and a great one. I'm soooo looking forward to future games! :)

3. ALASKA SHAKES OFF SMB FOR SOLO LEAD

Devance, Tenorio get job done for Aces
ALASKA got an early Christmas present after taking the game that was supposed to be played on Christmas Day.

The Aces' defense held on when San Miguel Beer tried to mount a comeback as they posted a thrilling 91-85 victory to grab solo top spot Saturday night in the 2008-09 KFC PBA Philippine Cup at the Cuneta Astrodome.

Joe Devance and LA Tenorio came up with huge plays in crucial moments when the team's reliable closer Willie Miller could not get the job done to survive San Miguel's uprising in the last six minutes of the contest.

"It's always a thrilling feeling when you beat a quality team like San Miguel Beer and the guys did a wonderful job on the defensive end," said Alaska head coach Tim Cone, whose team controlled the game from start to finish.

"To beat San Miguel, all the five guys on the court must play alert defense and tonight, we achieved that," Cone added.

Miller finished with 20 points but was held to just a single point in the fourth period. The two-time MVP also committed seven of the team's 24 turnovers in the game.

Luckily for the Aces, Tenorio and Devance were in their elements and showed poise down the stretch to escape with the victory.

Tenorio added 18 points and eight assists while Devance chipped in 15 markers, including a crucial putback off the missed jumper by Miller.

Alaska was comfortably ahead at 84-72 with 4:52 mark when Lordy Tugade and Olsen Racela fired back-to-back three-pointers that started a 10-0 blitz to move within two, 82-84, with 1:19 left in the game.

But Devance delivered the dagger as he followed up Miller's 15-foot jumper to make it 86-82.

Anthony Washington's three-pointer rimmed out in the next play and Tony de la Cruz was sent to the free throw line by Custodio for a split to make it an 87-82 lead with 35.7 ticks remaining.

Tenorio added a split after Washington was whistled for a technical foul for second motion, 88-82.

Dondon Hontiveros drilled a three-pointer to threaten anew at 85-88, 25.3 seconds left. After a split by Miller, 84-88, San Miguel had another chance to move closer but Washington lost control of the ball.

"This game was supposed to be played on Christmas Day but because of the Singapore game, they had to move it earlier and I thought this was an early Christmas present for us," said Cone.

Custodio had a career-high 20 points for the Beermen while Hontiveros chipped in 16.

Dorian Pena added 12 markers while Lordy Tugade had a quiet game with 11 and was 4-of-10 from the field. Washington chipped in 10 but was 0-of-5 from behind the arc.

Guiao-less RB loses against Reyes-less SLR

With Coach Yeng Guiao in the U.S., looks like Red Bull is having a hard time. The team is now with a 3-5 win-loss card and under Gee Abanilla for the mean time.

In this game, the veterans of Sta. Lucia led the way. The team went back in the game after a 19-point third quarter deficit. Dennis Espino and Marlou Aquino combined for 11 points in the fourth quarter and Espino finished with 17. Paolo Mendoza, another veteran, finished with 14 points.

For Redbull, Gabby Espinas had a career-high-tying 20 points and 13 rebounds, Jeff Chan finished in double figures for the first time with 15 and Cyrus Baguio and Carlo Sharma had 13 and 10, respectively. But all of this faded in the latter part of the game which is quite disappointing since the team dominated at first.

The game ended with 83-80 in favor of SLR.

Highest scorers for each team:
  • Sta. Lucia - Williams 17, Espino 16, Mendoza 14
  • Red Bull 80 - Espinas 20, Chan 15, Baguio 13
