HIS..
Don't let a failure define you as a person. Keep moving forward.
That is our magic mantra for this year's basketball season. We lost last year and the year before that and now we're ready to bounce back. We're gonna get that title back to Katipunan, back to where it really belongs. For 5 years, we were able to keep it, that was way back in my freshman and sophomore year and in my last year playing for Ateneo and in the UAAP, I vow to do everything to bring pride to my Alma Mater.
All or nothing.
"We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us"
All we have to do is give it our all and prepare for the battles ahead of us.
Trust him and pray that everything will be better.
Whatever happens, as long as you give your all, it will all be worth it.
Mamba Mentality and Strength in numbers.
We've been trying our best to get it for the past years but we're always falling short because of bad decisions. This year we plan to play a more mature basketball and better communication din inside the court.
I am also the team captain for my last season.
Kiefer was supposed to be the captain. He's fit to be the Captain. He's a good player but ang dami ng issues about him this past few months and the management thinks that it might affect his game niya so they made me as the team captain with him as the co-captain. Knowing Kief alam ko he can manage naman but they have decided so we just followed them. We just exchenged roles kasi ako yung co-captain before. He has no hard feelings about it naman and we're like brothers so we understand each other and isa pa wala naman din yung sa kung sinong captain or what, team effort to.
Him and Mika decided to end it for good na. Puro na sila away eh and mayroon nang trust issues talaga. Mika was the one who ended it. Kiefer being kiefer acted a bit douche about it going out to parties and getting wasted only to be taken jome by his driver. He got an earful from his parents na and Tita Mozzy already asked for my help. He is being branded as a famewhore already kasi kung sino daw yung sikat dun siya sumasama or yun yung gini-girlfriend niya.
I don't want to comment about it. He's my best buddy but it's his life. Kung ayaw niya makinig sa mga advises ko it's his decision. I'll support him naman kung alam kong nasa tama siya pero kung hindi na, ibang usapan na po yun.
Von is also trying to talk some sense to him too. Speaking of Von, sila na ng cousin ko. Yeah, after ilang months of dating they finally admitted to us na they are officially together during one of our famiy dinners.
Appa talked to Von after the dinner even si dad kinausap si Von and I know they're just warning the guy. Lau was with me and Dennise hat time and laughtrip yung face niya 'cause she's really worried for Von and she's overthinking things already. Ginatungan pa namin ni Den so she ended up nearly crying kasi napikon.
You can see naman that both of them are genuinely happy and it makes me happy as well. Subukan lang ni Von saktan si Lau makakatikim talaga siya. I love my cousin. Nakakaproud kaya siya. She's already a court side reporter since last year. She's trying her best din to speak in pure Tagalog but pareho kaming nahihirapan pa din.
Opo, hirap pa din ako mag-Tagalog kahit na I've been here in the Philippines for a very long time. A factor would be me, surrounded with my friends who speak in English more eventhough they're Pinoy like me. Even sa huse, my family talks in English.
By the way Appa's getting better. He's being more taken cared of and he's getting stronger. We would go out kapag may time or paint while Den's wathing us. Siya din kasi subject ng painting namin ni Appa. They're really close parang nagkaroon pa nga ng personal doctor si Appa and personal patient si Den. There are times na sobrang OP ako sa kanila and they would tease me. Wala akong kakampi kapag nagaasaran na. Lalo na sa accent ko.
