Between Ho-Hum And Nuninuninu...

Okay, so I’ve been way too lazy to post anything on this blog but can you blame me? Hahaha, not that I’m complaining or anything, but waking up so early for work five days a week takes its toll on my senses as early as mid- afternoons of the day. Plus, not that there’s many catching up to do because, frankly speaking, my life is pretty much still plain and boring (and sometimes way too comedic and silly) despite some, err, distractions on the side. (And no, I’m not gonna elaborate on those so-called distractions, however pleasantly distracting they are.)

So how did the past weeks go by? Well, the fun part of it was meeting a new friend who was sojourning Southeast Asia for a couple of weeks all the way from Canada – Wil. Now, detailing how we met was pretty simple: we had a common friend – Cassey – and the rest was history. Now don’t even get me started on how he and Cassey even met because it’s a bit of an unusual circumstance that’s up to Cassey to, uhh, expound[?]. I was only able to meet him a couple of times over lunch and dinners with my girl, but I was able to pick up more than a thing or two from the dude, including how I finally got to drool over his 50mm f/1.4 lens which I'm still lusting for up to this very moment. Seriously. Hahaha! Oh, the dude is a male version of a shopping whore, and he’s loud and proud about it! No wonder he and Cassey can talk shopping all day long. They’re such kindred! As for me, I’m thankful for the guy’s generosity, treating us for good food and even taking care of my ride home all the way to the South during one of those dinners when I’d stay a little late than usual at this side of the Metro. Really Wil, many thanks and I’m gonna miss you when you fly back to Canada within the week. Thank God for Facebook, we can keep in-touch and probably in five months’ time I’d be able to post the thank-you wall post you deserve. Hopefully. *wink* As for Cassey, kudos to her choice of gastronomy that had us exerting twice the effort on our diet/workout routine after.

Bonding moments with Wil over good food and lots of kwentos... :) (Pics taken from Cassey's blog here)

Oh, and speaking of good food, I sorely miss food tripping. I’m still broke, so I don't have much liberty to scour the Metro for some infamous gastronomic treat BUT I’m crossing my fingers that this is the last week that my financial pocket endures a big hole and by next week, everything SHOULD BE back to normal. SHOULD.BE. ^_^

So there. The rest of the days are just a bunch of ho-hums and Zzzz… except when… oh, never mind! Hahaha… anyways, can anyone suggest a good movie worth watching? I think I’m in dire need of some good old movie treat over popcorn and soda. ^_^

Unwavered

I rarely write about basketball or any other sport, for that matter, simply because I don't share the enthusiasm and passion as much as some of my friends from both sexes do. But after the sad news about how the DLSU Green Archers lost to the NU Bulldogs in a critical game that will determine if the Archers stay alive for the rest of Season 72 of UAAP, 61-63, I felt compelled to share my perspective after an untimely respite for the boys in green and white.

Ever since the 72nd season of the UAAP kicked off, I've always been pretty rational as to how I perceived this season shall unfold for the Archers. In short, I kept my hopes at a reasonable level and braced myself for the rough ride that was sure to come for our boys. And I was right. As I was telling Vic, a good friend and a die-hard Gang Green member, I'm not too hopeful for this season and that there will be hard-learned lessons along the way. But even if my hopes weren't at their all-time high, my faith in the team never wavered - faith that while the team is back to square one, every victory and loss shall mold the players into champions-in-the-making.

*sigh*

And so the Thursday’s game decided that, for now, the Green Archers will have to take the backseat for the rest of the season. But rather than dampen my spirits, I was all the more excited and already looking forward to Season 73 when the people from that part of Taft Avenue shall surely have their vengeance. WE SHALL HAVE OUR VENGEANCE. As for our boys, their time will soon come when they will share in the glory and triumphs of the men before them. All it takes is faith. I, for one, am keeping that faith. See you in Season 73!

ANIMO LA SALLE!!!
