-when it knocks, grab it-

it's last 17 seconds, and as i powered my way to the basket, the sound of the whistle broke the play.. it was a defensive foul.. both teams were already in penalty.. fortunately, i was sent to the freethrow line.. it's 57-58, in favor of the opponent's team.. the pressure is on.. i can feel my hands shaking as i approached the line.. as the ball was tossed to me.. i took a deep breath.. then dribbled the ball, feeling the rhythm of my shot.. as i fired, it bounced out of the rim.. i missed.. i said to myself, there's one more.. i must make this shot in order to tie the ball game and force it into overtime.. as i received the ball for the second shot, doing the same thing.. i took the shot.. and missed it.. damn it.. the opponent got the rebound and i sprinted towards him to get the ball, i intercepted his pass.. my teammate was able to get the ball, as he forced a putback.. he was blocked, then my other teammate got the ball trapped underneath the basket, with less then 5 seconds left in the clock, i was free on a spot and he passed the ball to me.. realizing that i was free, i aimed for the jump shot, but i missed.. then the buzzer sounded.. it;s over.. we lost.. i was given two chances to win the game, but i failed.. all of the efforts that i made, shooting those three-pointers, the rebounds and the hassle.. scoring 28 points, is useless and were all junked in the end.. i experienced what most basketball players' worst situation and failed it.. i never expected this kind of play.. it's pressure cooker.. honestly.. all the emotions are mixed up.. and there's no turning back.. i will never forget that night.. and i will take my revenge.. and play harder..

lessons learned:
1. confidence, face your fears, think positive and take all the court jitters that you have.
2. if you can make the drive, take it than doing the long shot. unless you have all the time to take it.
3. expect the unexpected.

-expect the unexpected!-

if you think it's over, think again...

just as i had finished posting yesterday..
when i got home..
suddenly the phone rang..
at first i was'nt able to recognize who's on the line..
i thought it's one of my textmates..
but guess what..
the hell im wrong!..
it's her.. (guess who..)
and i was'nt expecting it..
maybe because i forgot to give her manual back..
but what's more is that she's here..
right in our place..
just a few blocks from our house..
we talked on the phone, and it took us an hour to finish..
here's the most awaited part..
she asked me if she could lend some clothes for their outing..
of course, who will not agree to that..
i instantly said, "yes!"..
so i prepared the stuff and braced myself..
coz' guys, we met that night..
while i was walking..
im thinking of what to say..
even what to act..
my heart starts beating faster..
i dont know why, but it does..
as i approached the end of the block..
i can see her walking towards me..
as she came closer, the faster my heart beats..
then there she is..
her smile..
i cant speak..
i dont know..
but it's just that..
words just doesnt seem to come out of my mouth..
the place makes me remember..
it's where we first met..
and suddenly all the memories had flashbacked on my mind..
i wish i had the power to control time..
coz' i never want to end this night with her..

i guess..

it's time to prove something...

-what a night!!!-

ive got 4 tickets.. but unfortunately, only one of my pals made it.. how pathetic.. i thought it will be a waste of time, but in a couple of minutes, we find ourselves laughing with these fuckin' hosts that makes fun of the audiences.. but the compliment, they have the voice.. whatever these stupid audience's request, the fact is that they can sing.. well enough.. not bad at all.. as we enjoy this fuckin' show, i said to my pal, "gee, i need to go the comfort room".. so i excused myself and went to the cr.. as i entered the comfort room, i noticed these men, who wears some kind of a silly uniform, doing a massage on one of the gringos.. then as i began to pee in the urinal.. this bullshit suddenly grabbed me on the shoulders and started to massage my back!.. it took me a minute to finish my pee, then this bullshit continued to do his massaging then bolted, "sir, kayo na po bahala, kahit magkano po, sa tip lang po kami kumikita.."; bloody hell!.. im not a fuckin' gay!.. i refused it and made an alibi that im gonna be back, just to get past these bullshits.. i never knew that a comedy bar has this some kind of the "massage thing", and their doing it in the comfort rooms, (of men only).. after those bullshit, the main performer is on.. he's fuckin' late.. the night goes on as he keeps on his fuckin' attitude.. making fun of foreigners, especially japanese, asking for money and sings to his last breath.. we decided to go home at 4am.. while my pal is sleeping soundly in their house, i ended up in this fuckin computer shop typing this fuckin' blog post!.. what the?!!.. im suppposed to be sleeping ryt?.. it's past 4am, and im burying myself in this gruesome computer shoP???.. fuck.. this is misery...

-mystery call: when it rings, it keeps on ringing-

in the middle of a sunny afternoon..
my mobile phone caught my attention..
"1 missed call"..
i wonder who it is..
"09197368571"
the number is not registered in my phonebook..
unfortunately, i dont have the load to reply..
so i used our landline to ring the number..
after exchanges of ringing..
i decided to go to a store..
to have my phone loaded..
and so i texted the number..
and said, "please introduce yourself.."..
the number replied, "Sorry, but i will never introduce myself, thanks for your time.."..
as i replied, the number keeps on texting and insisted that i will never know who it is..
so it raised my curiousity and began texting the number..
asking who is it, maybe..
i apologized for being so rude coz' at that time im beginning to lose my patience..
but until now, i havent got any reply..
the question is..
who's behind that number..
it's a mystery for me..
until now, i havent got any clues..
hope my perseverance can bring me answers..
coz' right now, im still trying to find out..
who is the owner of the number?..
what is its plans?..
what does it have to do with me?..
well, this questions will keep me hanging..
until i find out who owns it..
and to know her reason..
coz' i will not stop until find out who it is..
hope i am on the right track...>>>

-listen-

perfect fit... "Loveteam" by Itchyworms...
ouch!..
hahaha...(",)
it goes like this...

-di naman talaga tayo magsinta
pero gusto nila
kahit ayaw mo bagay daw tayo
di naman totoo mga yakap mo
pang-eksena lamang ito
di mo lang alam
na nababaliw na’ko sa iyo
di ko na yata kaya to
ang aking lihim na pakay
ay ang lahat ng ito’y gawing tunay

Sana wag mong sisihin
kung di ko kayang pigilin
sabi mo na mahal mo ‘ko
ngunit di naman seryoso
sana magkasingkulay
ang drama at tunay na buhay ko
ang tanging pag-asa ko
ay nasa tambalang ito

Sinungaling ka
kapag may tao ay nilalambing mo ko
pero pag wala ay sumasama ng turing mo sa ‘kin
ay parang haning bitin na bitin
di nila alam na sa dulo ng tagpo
di na patok ang linya ko
nag-iiba ang iyong asta
hanggang sa susunod na eksena

Sana wag mong sisihin
kung di ko kayang pigilin
sabi mo na mahal mo ‘ko
ngunit di naman seryoso
sana magkasingkulay
ang drama at tunay na buhay ko
ang tanging pag-asa ko
ay nasa tambalang ito

Sana wag mong sisihin
kung di ko kayang pigilin
sabi mo na mahal mo ‘ko
ngunit di naman seryoso
sana magkasingkulay
ang drama at tunay na buhay ko
ang tanging pag-asa ko
ay nasa tambalang ito -

this goes to the people who were blinded by their scripts...
peace... (",)

-it's up to you...-

nicole,

just as i have finished taking a bath, i got this message from my mobile phone. wondering who it was, i read it, it says "you can call now.."; reading that message suddenly gave me a weird feeling of nervousness or even uncertainty. i was thinking twice whether im gonna call or not. but i think that time is running out. so picked up the phone and dialled the number. and so the conversation goes, with all the explanations, there are just two important things that i wanted to say. first, "sorry", for ruining everything. second, is "thank you", coz' maybe sooner or later i will realize that i was falling for you. thank you for everything. i'll miss you so much-

masinag, antipolo

...-i woke up late, it's almost 9am and where just starting to prepare our stuff. we kicked off past 10, under the blazing hot summer sun, we rode this jeep all the way up to antipolo. it's such a long ride and we got our butts nearly flat. another tricycle ride and we can finally say that were gonna be having our first summer getaway at the end of the semester. when we arrived at the resort, we neagn looking for our company in a bunch of cottages, to tell you, it's burning hot in that place. we spotted our pal and we settled together with our stuff and they began to eat their snacks. everything was going fine, we got an overlooking view of the city while the others enjoy at the pool, then i approached my partner, "Nicole", and asked her how is she doing, she said she's fine. i'm glad. we cracked jokes on whose the better swimmer, and after some minutes of chatting, we decide to join the others in the pool. we enjoyed the water eventhough were under the hot summer sun, at first i was so sensitive bcoz i might lose my complexion, who cares anyway?! so i ignored it, luckily, i applied a lot of sunblock and we crazily splashed on to the pool. while we were having fun, i noticed her going back to the cottage, i followed her. we went to the swing then we started to talk about things, lots of 'em, suddenly at that very moment, i realized that were all alone. im having a weird feeling of happiness inside me. then she started to tell her grievances while playfully slapping me and pulling my hair! i thinked to myself (maybe beating me is not enough).. palying on my mind is that "what if i kiss this girl?".. bloody hell, it might bring chaos. then she told me to leave her alone at that very moment, i don'd understand. i insisted that i will not leave her alone in there and i'll stay by her side. we exchanged words of whether im gonna leave her there or not, i did'nt give up, instead she volunteered to go and leave me instead. so i decided to walk with her back to the cottage. after that, everything changed as if the world turned upside down, and with sudden change of events, she started to avoid me, without knowing the reason why. what have i done? then i asked her friends, and got an offending comment, "pag ayaw niya, ayaw niya talaga. hindi siya nagpapakipot..." smoke, it reached my boiling point and i packed my stuff early. i don't want to argue about it, so i got myself walking with not knowign where to go. they ruined it. they made my summer getaway a living hell. it's like misery... :(
