Olympic Frustrations...

Sadness. I didn't get the chance to see volleyball. It's because of this stupid selfish cable companies.

Kaya heto, umaasa nalang sa yahoo...to get the latest details. Why volleyball??of course! Because I am cheering for none other t
han Brazil!!! Yes! It was like, 4 or 5 years ago since i last saw them play here...Pinas pa ang naghohost nun ng World Volleyball Grand Prix. Kasama ang Russia, Cuba, N. & S. Korea and Italy.

Ang mga players na paborito ko noon pa eh sila Leila Barros (BRA), Lyubov Chachkova (RUS), Virna Dias (BRA), Best tosser!>> Helia Fofao Souza (BRA) and Mauricia Cacciatori (ITA - the donita rose look alike..). Namimiss ko na sila...some of them like Leila and Virna were already retired...di ko lang alam dun sa iba..

I was so happy at ito ang nakita ko sa net...
One familiar face though?? Walewska?!?!?! Huh???Is that you???!!!(the girl with the white headband)

Brazil defeats US 3-1 for volleyball gold


and this could only mean one thing. Maraming nagbago, before Cuba and Russia from Grand Prix to Olympics silang dalawa lagi ang naglalaban for championship and Gold and Brazil would only go down for 3rd. Ngayun iba na...di ko narin kilala tong mga players na to...pero..i'm still happy that at long last...NAKA-GOLD narin sila..

Still frustrated...coz again, i didn't get to watch the fresh new players of Brazil....dahil sa wala kaming solar sports...pulubi!!!

Frustrated...but happy dahil nanalo sila! ^_^

Champion po kami!! Barangay Ginebra!

Since bata pa ko...nakalakihan ko na ang chini-cheer eh Ginebra. Nung una Alaska ako, eh nung chini-cheer ko sila naiinis at napipikon ang tatay ko sakin...so i started to cheer for Ginebra. Simula noon hanggang ngayun...Ginebra na ko...from the coaching days of Jaworski to the Era of Jong Uichico..sila parin ang basketball team na paborito ko.

Kaya naman nung Wednesday umakyat talaga ako sa 50th Pantry para manood. Sakto 3rd quarter na...napanood kong maganda ang laro ni Menk and Tubid.

Mejo nagpakaba pa sila dahil tumabla nung 4th quarter...in fairness iba talaga ang mga point guards ng Gin Kings...astig!

Nakahinga nako ng maluwag nung di na nakakashoot tong Arwin Santos na to! Sorry nalang sa mga Air 21 fans jan....it's not yet your time...since this is their first finals appearance...I'm sure na mas lalo pang magma-mature ang mga young players nito.

CHAMPION PO KAMI MGA KA-BARANGAY!!! TAGAY NA!!! ^_^
