Note to Self: Stop Procrastinating!


Ok, I am accepting it. I have a very big problem and was not able to find a solution to it. It is kinda dragging because I know this for so long but still, I’m not taking in any action. It doesn't affect my work yet, but I am pretty sure it would if I will just let it go still. It frustrates me that Procrastinating still lingers in me. Yes, procrastinating. You know not doing the things you can do today. Then the next day, I’ll just find myself having a lot of things to do because of it. Then I’ll blame myself but still not able to move. It happens all the time.

Promise to Self:

But this day, I’ll say “No to Procrastinating”. I will challenge and motivate myself to do the things I can do today. Even how small or big it is. I would be cautious in procrastinating. I can get over it little by little. I’ll remind myself the negative effects of it. Most of all, I will ask for God’s guidance and leading for me to be able to fulfill it. It is only by God’s grace that I will be able to pull it off.

Verse for the Day:

“I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

Thanks for Reading!

God Bless!

My Other World: Basketball


Every girl has different fancy. We like sky crapper heels, body hugging dress and the latest make-up trends. Yes, I also love them too. But what sets me apart from that stuff is the fact that I love Basketball. I am really addicted to NBA. You read it right. I am into National Basket Association, Philippine Basketball Association, UAAP and the list goes on. I find the thrill of the game interesting and exciting!

Basketball is a widespread sport active as we know it. It involves team work. Every team has five members starting line up with a shooting guard, point guard, power forward, small forward and a center. The center is the one jumping, with the tip off is happening. It signals that the game is about to. It is very basic in basketball. The required skill are dribbling, rebounding, shooting, passing and knowing the violations that should not be committed. Points are incurred when shooting the ball. Points can be one point, two points and the biggest is three points when it will be shoot from beyond the arc. Those are the basic knowledge that should be familiarize when watching a basketball game. It would tricky sometimes but it is an enjoyable to watch.

I began loving this game when I watched the Miami Heat playing last 2011 when they chased the Championship but fall short. I was really mesmerized by the moves of the players specially their Big 3 as they call it. I have followed the team even up to now. Because of my fancy for this sport, I was also encouraged to watch UAAP and PBA. I always have a team that I am betting. For PBA, it is the Petron Blaze Boosters and for the UAAP it is the FEU Tamaraws.

Basketball has become a vital part of my being. I am always updated with every game that is being played. When you follow me in twitter, you can see that I follow NBA and PBA players, fashion bloggers, online shops, actors and actresses and volleyball players. That’s how wide the scope of me. I tweet when my teams are winning, and I’m so quite when they are losing-a typical fan reaction.

I love basketball because of the thrill of the game. It encourages teamwork, communication and not individual game.

Do you have something to say about basketball?

Movie Review: Team Hanna


I have a drought in watching movies for quite some time. I am able to watch movies but only beginning, climax and ending. Forward and play are always my friends. I don’t like watching the protagonist endure the pain and hardships. I want to see them successful right away. It is the reason I don’t watch soap operas because they are too long and the waiting period bores me. But suddenly, due to some stress I incurred. I was able to motivate myself to watch a movie. Team Hanna came to picture.

(Warning: Spoilers are everywhere)

Title: Team Hanna or Secret Millionaire
Country: Thailand
Genre: Drama,
Based on a True Story

Summary:
           
The story revolves about a guy named Top who refuses to give up and never want to go to college even how his parents pushes him. He continually looks for possible business ventures that he would be successful. He has many hit and mis. The turning point in his life is when his family flies to China because of their overwhelming debts that amounted to 40 million Baht. He was left with his Uncle in Thailand. Top ventured in frying sea weeds and was able to pull it off. He applied to 7 eleven so that his product will be sold on its chain of stores but was declined. He was able to change the packaging and size of his product to suit the marketability requirement of the company. Soon enough, his effort was paid off.

My Take:

            The drama is very inspiring. It encourages people to follow their dreams and move out of their shell. It conveys the message of never give up and do not lose hope attitude. At the end of the tunnel their will always light. Just keep the fire burning. It shows that when a person persevere, there will always good outcome. I fell in love with the drama and Top’s character.

Recommendation:

            It is a much watch movie especially if you want to be inspired and if you are thinking of venturing into business. You will have insights of how hard you need to go through before you become successful.

Lesson:
           
            Success depends on the power of your mind. It is an attitude.

My Take: Ateneo Lady Eagles’ Losing Streak


All has been said and done. Ateneo Lady Eagles tallied themselves a three games losing streak. A two five setter and a demoralizing three sets game, many would probably say “what happened to the Lady Eagles?” They started very strong in the tournament with a 6-0 record then the consecutive losses. They are still the same team who won six games, but what got lost in their games that result a downward spiral not only in their games but also in their morale?

The Fille Cainglet Effect
         
          Fille Canglet is a vital weapon of the Lady Eagles offense. She averages if I’m not mistaken 10 points per game and plus her leadership in the floor. I always see the team go to Cainglet when crunch time and she delivers. Losing her in the offense has an impact to the team. Since Cainglet got injured in the La Salle game, the woes of Ateneo started. I’m not saying she is the sole reason of what is happening to Ateneo but losing a potent weapon is a big deal.
Gretchen Ho and Dzi Gervacio is not Stepping Up

          I have watched the games between Ateneo and Adamson and Ateneo versus FEU. What I noticed is that Gretchen Ho and Dzi Gervacio is not firing up. They don’t spike more often than what I am used in seeing. I’m not sure if Jem Ferrer is not distributing the ball well or they just don’t spike that much.

Only Alyssa Valdez stepping up
         
          I bet when you are also a fan of Ateneo Lady Eagles, you would notice this also. It is as if all the kills are given to Valdez. Yes, she is really very good there is no doubt about it. But the girl would get tired as well. When she is frontline, she dominates and even in the back row she still spikes. I really think that she deserves an MVP award for all the works she has done for Ateneo. Alyssa deserves the award.

          The other reason that maybe causes them to lose is they don’t receive well and seems to be lost.

          I am also a fan of Ateneo Lady Eagles especially Alyssa Valdez. I am saddened about what is happening to the team. Even though they are still top of the standings with 6-3. They still need to compose themselves, the elimination games are not over yet. And their advantage against other teams is very slim. The race to final 4 is getting tighter. Their game against NU is a deciding match. I’m crossing my fingers that they would end their losing streak and start to gain momentum. They are a resilient team they can make it through. They have the best pieces to utilize and they are a contender.

My Take: The Resurging Lady Tamaraws




I am one of the expectators of  UAAP Season 75 Volleyball. I also have a team I am cheering each year which is the FEU Lady Tamaraws. I’ve loved this team for quite sometime now. I have monitored their games each now and then jump at their winnings and grieve when they loses. It is part of my system. When they win, I am so happy working but when they loss, don’t tease me I become a Lion so fast (hehehe), that’s how affected I am.

When UAAP Season 75, I have high hopes for the Lady Tamaraws, I routing for them to be in the Final 4 just like last year. But when the season started and they started with a lost, I was saying it will be fine they will be in the winning record soon. It happened when they defeated University of the Philippines but the next chapters were written differently. It was as if a downward spiral- the Lady Tamaraws is losing their games. The joy of playing and the communication in the court seems lost. Their identity is vague, the team who is very good in floor defense is no where to be found. I got a question that I can’t even answer, “what happened to my team?” Yes, I almost lost my hope for them to be in the final four but continue to support them by watching their games. Then a shocking story came out. The Head Coach of the tams is being replaced. I visited different forums to know more about the new coach which named Coach Kid. Coach Kid is the one who crowned FEU with most numbers of Championships- an impressive resume. It was office day when FEU versus UE was played and read they were back in the winning track after three consecutive loses. A good sign, I was able to watch FEU versus UST. At first, I have my doubts whether they will win it especially in the first set when they committed a lot of errors. Not a good sign, but when the second set underway, and UST was leading and Coach Kid calls a timeout to stop the bleeding, I was impressed because he knows how to motivate them to rise up and pacify themselves. The match continues and the Lady Tams continues to win the match. The Upset as many writers call them. But what I see in the match is the renewed vigor and the superb floor defense that wasn’t present when they lost. Indeed, they are now a new team. The new coach has breathed them life and a positive outlook. Fast forward with Ateneo versus FEU game, everyone is unsure who will win the match. The FEU is on for a winning streak and Ateneo on the other hand is nursing a losing streak. But the match proceeded with FEU winning it in three sets (yes you read it write). It was a first for Ateneo who never lost in three sets. I was watching live streaming in the office and my officemates are laughing at me because I am jumping out of happiness and shock. It was so surreal.

With FEU’s winning streak and renewed confidence I must say that they are a contender for final four. The standings may still be vague at this moment but clouds will unveil it soon. I’m still curious who will end up in the elusive title but my fingers are crossing. Go Lady Tamaraws!

From the Author's Desk

             

                       Blogging has been a big part of my life. It is part of my day to day living, I've been following a lot of blogs. Not because I love to join giveaways via the net but because writing is my passion and part of my self expression. If I am happy, lonely, angry, fearful and excited, i write. It is a big part of me. My blogs are extension of my being. That's why, when I open my blog a while ago and learned that the blog i've been updating lately has been deleted for unknown reason. I feel so sad, I felt a part of me got lost as well. But just as the saying goes "life has to go on". I still have another blog to update and even if I don't have this blog, I will still make another one just to make sure I can still continue what I am doing. We can't just leave what we are used in doing, it is as if we are committing suicide. I can't do that.
                      So here I am in a new blog name but with a the same mindset-to continue what I've been doing and to grow as an individual. I hope you can read my blog and if possible follow it. You will surely unravel a part of me and know me a little bit. Hope you'll enjoy my blog!

That's it for today's update. See you next time!

I'll continue to be a dreamer. I'll dream and conquer BIG!
