UST Returns To Finals After 7-Years
Although in the finals series between UST Tigers and Ateneo Blue Eagles, the latter is leading by winning game 1, this semi-final win by the Tigers is something to be remembered as they did it in style:

Who moved my cheese?
A good reading (now in audio) for someone who wants to understand why people need to make decisions and move on. Its all about positivity, nothing else. Tks for the book Doc Vlad!
Stefi was saddened by today's revelation, that one of her most loved companion is about to migrate to the land of the loonie toonie. It was difficult for her to accept at first but having explained to her the analogy of the "who moved my cheese" story, she realized that it is not too bad at all. Now she understands this could be just a short wait but soon after they will meet each other again. Godspeed!
And yeah, McDonalds has its own version as Stefi's mousepad:

Weekend Break
School break is here, we thought Stefi deserves a movie treat. At first I thought she would be scared but it turned out she loved it, even wanted to watch it over again. She's been frequenting http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/monsterhouse/international/ these days seeing scary but 'not anymore scary' stuffs. To her its all just art creations:
Afterwards we decided to dine at MS deck. Twas their first time there, I was like having lunch everyday there when I was still with DP. (thank goodness food there doesn't suck anymore):
We strolled around MS, wifey had a serious walk-work-out (expecting women needs lots of those), until its time to hit the Cathedral. After the service I thought wifey should have some more w-w-o so we headed to Dhoby Gaut station, instead of City Hall station. On the way we had to pass by th newly renovated Cathay House (one of singapore's oldest moviehouse i guess):
and Stefi was delighted to find:
she finds these creatures fabulous as her very own 'Marlin and Nemo'(as she names them):
on the way back, while waiting for the train we recalled the "Monster House." We thought we'd like to share what we felt (we had a BLAST!):
...now that's too early for a holloween 'T or T'
enjoy the school break, while dad and mom enjoys this every moment, for a week:

Here's something for the tennis buff:
The Very Particular Art of the Racket Stringer
“Ivan Lendl was the first player to change rackets at every ball change; he brought a new level of professionalism,’’ says Prokes. “Now, the most professional player? Agassi. He is the new benchmark.’’

Tribute to Andre
You gotta read this for inspiration:
Andre Agassi: A Fan's Man
Blake Pays Tribute to Agassi in Winning Form

Guess what?
USOpen is back and here are things to look forward to:
- can Andre conclude his playing career with a Slam? don't expect too much...we'll see...
- can Roddick win a slam after a break from injuries, can gf Maria inspire her this time?
- Nadal vs Federer, does this rivalry still exist?
- Martina Hingis, can she still deliver?
- Maria Sharapova vs Kim Klijsters
- Williams sisters, second or third round exit?
A lot more things to watch out for, so sit back, and relax...
Yeah, cheapo beers! First time trying 'em, 3-cans good enough to last till the finals. Let's give these brands a review if they will par enough with:
...or would even they be so much better than the great ALE!?
"you will never know until you try!"

Inspiration, Retirement, Future Plans???
Everything is set and planned right from the start of 2006. It wasn't a drastic move. It started when people were made to believe he was injured. Fans knew it had affected his game much that he needn't play tours other than grandslam events. Slam after slam: First Aus Open then came French Open, performancewise he still have the shots but it was evident that lasting long games is now his setback and can never be repaired. It made him decide to announce at the Wimbeldon that Us Open will close the curtain to his illustrious tennis career.
That's about Andre, and now what?
Because I like picking inspiration from lots of things, people, events, toys and all sorts. Looking back through the years, some people who inspired me, to name a few were Ben Johnson, Michael Jordan, Frank Gehry, Evelyn (my wife) and Andre Agassi.
So from this retirement thing about Andre, what inspires me is about giving up something you really love doing to make way for better things. It won't be just giving up without getting something in return. Let's enumerate things that can be given up and better things to endeavour (if possible give it a reason) and weigh them by points, high points means really worth doing.
things that i possibly should give up:
- weekday tennis/10, i had given up on this long before to make way for thewoohoos and meshpotatoes.
- the woohoos band/ 10, reason could be the question of me being in a different league. kids are kids, let them play as the saying goes: "show them all the beauty they possess inside, give them a sense of pride"
- mesh potatoes band/ 2, two members who happen to be colleagues are in a political battle. when both of you are able to resolve your differences then mesh can move on. peace bros!
- thursday basketball with VMW colleagues/5, i can play once in a while but not on a regular basis
- saturday tennis/0, no no...i won't give up on this
(above list doesn't mean i have no time for family. i cook, i go tekka market, i babysit and i pregnant mum-sit)
things that i possibly should endeavour (all 10pts, just do it-nothing to lose):
- join the FTC tournament, will need to allot 3weekdays pracitce to get into competitive level, once a week practice if only "for fun" level.
- form "The Generals" band. Been contemplating on this and sure will create havoc in the local music scene. possible members: mike/vox or ronald/vox, allan/lead guitar, allan's bassist/bass, and me/who else. passion, attitude, addiction, they have it all. and grammar is not that important coz they have already mastered the skill of sign language.
- Stefi will be 4 next year. That'd be a good age for her to pick up a sport like tennis or music skill like playing drums. After USOpen, count 10years and the name "Agassi" will create waves again in the tennis circuit by a boy named "Jason Gill Agassi" with his coach Andre. I'm a dreamer yeah, I want Stefi to make waves too. Good if she picks up the interest without pressure from dad (she's showing signs already) haha!
- Standard Chartered marathon come november. this one needs preparation and will need daily jogs, i should be getting a new running shoes soon. Who wants to join?
- Photography, i envy Ramir having much fun and time on this with his EOSD.
- Oil painting, expensive but sure'll be worth it. My colleague just quit his job doing full time painting. He's making shitful of artworks earning 4x his past salary.
- Teach CG part time. Its an offer worth considering, not easy dealing with 'other' kids though.
- Company just announced corporate 'Fitness First' programme. Woohoo thanks! I wanna do yoga this time rather than stuff more beef and make myself look like a frog.
- Bum. my xbox executer2 died on me 6months ago. he may breathe a new life soon.
(whoa the list goes on! i better halt first coz its really urging me to give up a lot of things easily)

marist the global catholic educator.... be proud
just wanna share this as i share the same goosebumps with other fellow alumni:
"PARE, SI ERIK TENGCO ITO UTOL NI ALAIN, KAIBIGAN NAMIN SI TONY G, CHOI, AT
PINSAN NAMIN SILA TAMAYO AT BARKADA SI "CARL MALDEN"...
IT IS SO NICE TO SEE THE MARIST SITE AND FIND A FAMILIAR NAME WHO IS ACTIVE
IN THE ALUMNI ORG.
MERON SANA KAMING GUSTONG I-SHARE NA KWENTO PARA SA LAHAT NG ATING MARIST
BROS. I HOPE THAT SOMEHOW YOU CAN SHARE IT AMONGST THE ALUMNI DURING YOUR
NUMEROUS GATHERINGS, OR POST THIS ON THE BULLETIN BOARD.
THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 12 YEARS AGO, ON THE MORNING THAT CARL (a.k.a. JAIME
VILLANUEVA, ON BIRTH CERTIFICATE) WAS TO TIE THE KNOT WITH HIS FIANCEE
BING. WE HAD COME FROM AN ALL NIGHT STAG PARTY AND WAS SERIOUSLY LATE FOR
THE ALTAR.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE WERE FLYING ON THE 405 FREEWAY WHEN WE GOT PULLED OVER
FOR SPEEDING. IT SEEMED LIKE A ROUTINE TRAFFIC STOP AS THE FIRST OFFICER
APPROACHED THE CAR UNTIL THE SECOND OFFICER, WHO HAD CIRCLED AROUND OUR CAR
HAD NOTICED OUR BUMPER STICKER (MERON KASING DALAWANG SCHOOL STICKERS SA
BUMPER NG AUTO--ISANG LA SALLE AT YUNG ISA AY YUNG AD JESVM PER MIRIAM NA
CREST NG MARIST TULAD NG PATCH SA UNIPORME NATIN SA ELEMENTARY)
THIS SECOND OFFICER WHO WOULD INTRODUCE HIMSELF AS OFFICER STEVEN
GUDLEWSKI, (WHOM WE WOULD LATER FIND OUT TO BE A VERY NOTORIOUS AND FAMOUS
OFFICER IN THE LAPD AND HAD EARNED THE MONIKER, "DIRTY HARRY GUDLEWSKI")
PEERED INSIDE THE CAR AND QUICKLY NOTICED THE ROSARY TIED OVER THE REAR
VIEW MIRROR INSIDE THE CAR (IN THE EARLY 90'S THIS WAS EXCLUSIVE TO THE
FILIPINO COMMUNITY IN THE US).
HIS FIRST QUESTION TO US WAS IF WE WERE CATHOLICS WHICH WE HAD QUICKLY
AFFIRMED. MUCH TO OUR DISBELIEF HE THEN ASKED US A QUESTION, THAT UNTIL
TODAY MAKES US FEEL PROUD OF OUR ALMA MATER. APPARENTLY HE RECOGNIZED THE
MARIST STICKER ON THE BUMPER AND HE ASKED US IF IT WAS INDEED A MARIST
SCHOOL STICKER. IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT OFFICER STEVEN GUDLEWSKI WAS A
PROUD ALUMNUS OF MARIST, NEW JERSEY.
TO PROVE TO US HE WAS FROM MARIST, HIS FIRST INSTINCT WAS TO SHOW US A
ROSARY IN HIS POCKET. WHEN WE TOLD HIM THAT WE WERE ALUMNI OF MARIST
PHILIPPINES WE COMPARED REMINISCENT NOTES ABOUT THE SCHOOL AND IT WAS SO
UNBELIEVABLE TO FIND OUT THAT HE KNEW THE "EVER FOREVER" SONG WORD FOR WORD
WHICH WE SANG IN CHORUS WITH HIM THAT MORNING.
WE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT 10,000 OR SO MILES AWAY FROM MARIKINA, WERE AMERICAN
KIDS WHO WROTE THE "JMJ" ON THEIR 1/4, 1/2 OR WHOLE PIECES OF SCHOOL PAPERS
WHICH THEY SUBMITTED IN CLASS EVERYDAY. STEVE EVEN ADMITS THAT HE USED TO
DRAW THE CROSS IN THE TOPMOST MIDDLE OF EACH PAPER LIKE MOST OF US
OLDTIMERS.
ALL THIS BEING SAID, WE GOT OUT OF THE EXPENSIVE SPEEDING TICKET THAT
MORNING AND EVEN ENDED UP BEING ESCORTED WITH SIRENS AND THE FULL POLICE
NINE YARDS TO CARL'S CHURCH WEDDING. HE AND OFFICER KRAUTZ WERE SO HAPPY TO
ACQUAINT WITH US THAT THEY STAYED UNTIL THE RECEPTION WAS OVER. WE HAVE
KEPT IN TOUCH WITH OUR LAPD MARIST BROTHER AND HAVE WIGGLED OUT OF SEVERAL
CITATIONS AT HIS NAME DROP WITH OTHER LAPD OFFICERS SINCE THEN.
WE HAVE ALL COME FROM PRESTIGIOUS COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES IN MANILA BUT
NEVER HAVE WE FELT PROUD ABOUT THEM SINCE THEY ARE MEANINGLESS AND ARE
NORMALLY FROWNED UPON HERE IN THE US.
HOWEVER, ONE THING FOR SURE WE CAN ALWAYS FIND PRIDE IN BEING MARISTIANS."

The Frog and the Scorpion
A scorpion asks a frog to carry him across a stream. The frog asks:"How do I know you won't sting me?"
"If i do, both of us will drown," replies the scorpion.
The frog agrees. But as they are crossing the stream, the scorpion stings the frog.
"Why did you do that?" asks the frog as they both start to drown.
The scorpion just manages to answer:"Its my nature..."
"If i do, both of us will drown," replies the scorpion.
The frog agrees. But as they are crossing the stream, the scorpion stings the frog.
"Why did you do that?" asks the frog as they both start to drown.
The scorpion just manages to answer:"Its my nature..."
