A POEM FOR LUCKY SEVEN.

basketball is his sports ever since he's a kid
a dedicated player by heart and by deed
always ready to step up when his team's in need
you will be fierce when you see his moves and his speed

dunno why i just run when ever i saw him
but i cheer! when he shoots the ball inside the rim
this fella's known as mr. nice guy of the team
dangerous guard coz' he can steals ball for a win

when ball is outta bounce he's always there to save
a gusty court general who's mighty and brave
so, back off give way coz' he's surely a big wave
Lance Anthony Convento playing guard, my fave :)


-sorry, im bad at poetry..
and oooops DONT FORGET! PASALUBONG HA! haha

TIUPERMAN.

at times of failure, we seek for thee
at times of triumph, we yelled "victory!"
when the force is needed by the sea of blue
a man stood up, his name is CHRIS TIU

in all of our encounters ,we came on top
ours is a team nobody could stop
as the captain you lead us through
'cause you deserve, we gave you support in lieu

our greatest battle is when the archers came along
all of us were rattled, panic is prolong
when everyone gave up, had no glance at hope
the KING EAGLE was there, so with fear we could cope

when you look up the sky, you would notice him
there'll be brightness, it'll never be dim
it's not a bird, a plane or a simple human
OMG! it's the great TIUPERMAN!

LAKERS VS MAGIC GAME3

The Magic were one lay-up away from making Lakers fans shut up and having a commanding lead in the series. But that's not how the ball bounced and instead, they find themselves behind the Lakers but still very much in the series. For them to win the championship, they'd have to win their last 2 home games and steal one from the Lakers. Only 2 teams in NBA finals history have won three straight at home, the 06 Heat and the 04 pistons.After watching the first quarter, i couldn't believe how great Kobe was, making all those tough shots, and it's just too bad he disappeared in the end of the game.

And for all those believers who keep on insisting just how superduper clutch Kobe is, according to Bill Simmons, a study from www.82games.com has kobe shooting 14/56 in game winning situations in the past 5 plus seasons including the playoffs. And to make things worse, he only has 1 assist and 5 turnovers in those situations. Yup, quadruple teamed the last game and had his shot stuffed by Hedo in the last play of regulation in Game 2, instead of passing it to the 3 other wide open men.Also, i find it so weird that everyone keeps on hyping up Kobe's leadership in this finals and how he constantly communicates to everyone at all times. I've heard Mark Jackson repeat it countless times already but it bothers me cause i don't see anything special in what he's doing. I mean, that is the role of the team captain or the team leaders, if he doesn't do that then he doesn't deserve to be called the captain or the leader. It's that simple. I'm pretty sure LBJ does that too, or Jason Kidd and Chauncey, and those other guys but all im hearing is that this Kobe is now like a super leader. I ain't buying that.The Magic just shot lights out today. Pietrus did a good job stepping up and so did Rafer Alston. Big time games from them.

By the way, i do think Pietrus follow up dunk should have been called basket interference and he got away with a double dribble on offense early in the first half. I mean, 3 referees, how could you miss that? As for Rafer, that's the way to play, taking what the defense gives u and creating shots, taking it to the hoop. ALthough he did have some clumsy passes too which had me scratching my head. Again i find it funny, as i predicted, everytime i trash Rafer he bounces back and delivers a performance that will just make me shut up.I still am not so sure about whether the Magic can win the next game but i sure hope they do so that we can have an interesting series. I held my breath towards the end of the game, watching how tentative the Magic had become in crunch time, until Rashard hits another dagger.

Well, the fact that Kobe got his usual share of superstar calls where he practically wasn't touched and gets to the line didn't help me either. But today, the ball didn't lie and he shot terrible from the line, shooting worse than Dwight! Haha so much for me making fun of LBJ's free throw shooting. I guess Kobe can have bad ones too. And for the Lakers, please please get Pau Gasol more than 11 shots. Please don't let Ariza take more than him. Gasol is unstoppable at the post. He has been schooling the defensive player of the year all series long, so please give it to the guy who shot 81 percent from the field a while ago!! The key for the Magic to win is to outplay the Lakers at the 1, 3 and 4 positions. I have a deadlock at the 5 spot with Dwight and Gasol (i'm considering him a 5, since Bynum has been n-onexistent), or even a slight advantage for the Lakers. For the shooting guard spot, there is no way the Magic can have an advantage over Kobe, but as long as Pietrus can some what contain him then it should be good enough. As for the 3 position, Hedo needs to outplay Ariza like he did a while ago (OH and btw, why isnt kobe guarding Hedo yet? The nine time all defensive team needs to be taking on the star player of the opposing team. COMe on Kobe!!). And Rashard has been outplaying Odom (although Odom was great in game 2). But the real key is the point guard play. Fisher is a savvy veteran who is a good role player, but he is the weakest link of the Lakers, and Rafe/Jameer need to outplay him always in order for the Magic to win.The Magic were one lay-up away from making Lakers fans shut up and having a commanding lead in the series.

Welcome June!

June, June, June,.what to expect?? Yeaaaah rainy days…and the ‘back to school spirit’ that makes me weak! Summer ends and the closing of relaxation. Now, preparing for tiring school days yet enjoying it because of money allowance…hahay!
Its been 3 weeks since PBL season ends and had a blog entry about the licealiz-pharex semis..it doesn’t went well, and PBL closed for a very usual championship game having oracle,yes,harbour winning the unity cup. That sucks~
Anyway, V had an award being one of the second mythical team and the gentleman awardee goes to Dylan Ababou. Does that counts? hmmmm
June is full of hassle pressure…reason for it? Enrollment! And the curse for irregular students like me…fixing up my schedule is way getting in my nerves and OH! Add the rainy days. Floor is slippery when wet~ remember that!

I wrote this blog entry because… Im definitely missing everything!!!! The heck-
First, I lost my planner! OoOk, I need to look for a new ‘like that’ and bingo! I found ‘like that’ and bought one at papemelroti gateway. I just wonder, what happened to the planner I lost. Who had that? And Where the hell izzzzzzit.
Cielo really miss playing hoops…well, timezone helps me to recuperate.haha
Then the NBA semis to finals – Go Cavs! Go Lakers! Even though Lebron didn’t make it, surely Kobe will!!!
C of my life.,where are you? After landing here at manila from vegas,. I still don’t know where you are and I haven’t see you BIG TIME…the last thing I know about you is that you’re goin to have a new show at Solar sports. Fine, we’ll see that! keeps me waiting…
Lucky seven…how are you? :) …too bad, I couldn’t see ya for three months I think. See you soon, somewhere at August. The D day!
Bye PBL and hello UAAP! Please let the tigers bag the UAAP crown…it’s the last year of their captain…have mercy…

Calamities happen when june begins, but this one is different. H1N1 Influenza Virus known as the swine flu attacks manila and bows the archer’s territory. We should be attentive and keep ourselves clean all the time, so the virus will leave our body. Make ‘washing your hands’ a habit.

June 15 will bring me back to reality. Ciao!
Storms coming….
