Happy Birthday Mama!!!

Ngyon ang kaarawan ng aking pinakamamahal na nanay. Nakakalungkot kc nsa malayo akong lugar sa araw na ito at di ko sya makakasama di ba?

Pagkagicing pa lng sya na agad ang tinawagan ko. “Happy birthday mama, I love you!” Hay, lalo tuloy ako na homesick. Tlgang nalungkot ako kc first time since nagkaisip ako na di ko sya makakasama sa kanyang birthday.



Pero syempre, kelangan magsakripisyo. Happy na din ako kc msaya naman daw ang bday nya. Madami handa at madami din bisita. Hehehe…
Basta ang bday wish ko lng sa mama ko ay very good health tlga. Yun lng. Yun material na bagay, kmi na ang magpupunan. Payback tym ika nga. Love you ma! So happy and proud that you’re my mom… the best mom I’ll ever have. Love you!

Overwhelm and Overflowing

Napakasarap kung may mga tao kang napapasaya. Ibang iba talaga ang pakiramdam kung may mga taong nagpapaasalamat sa iyo. Mas masarap pa kesa manalo ng poker game o makatikim ng pagkaing gustong gusto mo.

Dpat laging tumulong. Always share your blessings ika nga. Syempre kung sobra sobra ang biyaya sa iyo, dpat ipamahagi mo. Ganun dapat ang buhay. Hindi nman kailangang isang buong barangay ang tulungan mo kundi khit paisa isa lng ok na. Ang mahalaga eh wag mo na ipaalam ang mga tulong na naipaabot mo.

God is always good… All the time… Tama di ba…

Kaya kung madami kang blessings, magpasalamat ka at ipamahagi mo. At kung sa tingin mo naman na napaka unfair ng buhay para sa iyo, magtiwala ka lng. Sabi nga, “Life is unfair but God is always faithful!”

Kaya ako, ang masasabi ko lang ngayon, “Thank you Lord!”

West Preview – Back With A Vengence

Eto naman ang aking forecast for the West. No surprises dito… Lakers, Hornets and Spurs will fight for Western supremacy. Houston and T-Mac will advance now to the second round of the play offs. Portland, Denver, Golden State and Clippers will fight for the 8th seed.


#1 Lakers – Bynum’s return will solidify there quest for another Larry O’ Brien trophy. As long as Kobe plays Jordanesque, there’s no doubt they will win it this season.
#2 Hornets – Chris Paul will be battling again for MVP. As long as everybody is healthy, they have a chance to kick the Lakers out. With play offs experienced last year and the arrival of James Posey to provide play off composure, this team is on the rise as one of NBA’s elite team.
#3 Houston – The Rockets can knock out Spurs in the Northwest division. With Ron Artest, they can go deeper in the play offs. No injuries please to Yao and T-Mac.
#4 Utah – Kyle Korver’s midseason arrival open up the floor for the Jazz. With the trio of Williams, Boozer and Kirilenko, they have a chance to knock the top three teams in the West.
#5 San Antonio – Don’t count the old guys out. Duncan, Ginobili and Parker still have left to go deep in the playoffs. And its another odd season, the pattern says they will win it like in 2003, 2005 and 2007. Just be superstitious.
#6 Phoenix – Ever since, I don’t count the Suns as title contenders. Defense always will win championships which this team doesn’t have. Lucky if they will reach second round.
#7 Dallas – Focus is what this team needs. Avery Johnson is not there anymore so there is no more reason to complain. I hope Josh Howard will be like the All-Star he used to be to complement Dirk and Kidd.
#8 Portland – Greg Oden will no doubt be the next big thing in American basketball. With a young but promising and talented core, the new Blazers team will start to make there mark this season.
#9 Denver – Why let go of Camby??? This team is on the downside with mistakes in free agent signings done years ago. They will lose Iverson to have cap space for Carmelo. They will have a hard time making the play offs this year.
#10 Golden State – You can’t replace Baron Davis.
#11 Clippers – One day, they’re smiling in signing Baron Davis. The next day, they let go of Elton Brand.
#12 Sacramento – With Artest gone, Kevin Martin is expected to have a truly breakout season. No doubt, he will be in the top 5 in scoring but the team is in another lottery season.
#13 Minessota – I don’t know what’s the problem with Mchale. Last year, he traded Brandon Roy. This year, he traded OJ Mayo, both at draft nights. Poor guy.
#14 Memphis – OJ Mayo, Rudy Gay and Mike Conley… Great prospects but it will take time for this team.
#15 Oklahoma – This is Seattle ok… But nobody is here except for Kevin Durant.

East Preview - Repeating The Dream Season

NBA season na! kaya as promised, ito ang aking upcoming season preview for 2008-2009 ng Eastern conference. sabihin na lng natin na walang injuries at trades, ito ang aking forecast for the upcoming season.

Eastern Conference – The 6th to 8th playoff spots will be decided on the last week of the season with Toronto, Miami, Washington, Chicago and Atlanta. Favorites are still Boston, Detroit and Cleveland.

#1 Boston – Repeat is a motivation. I still picked them to win the East because of the Big Three. Losing Posey (Free agency) and Brown (retirement) is a big blow. I just hope that Darius Miles can regain his old Clipper’s way.




#2 Detroit – As always. With improvements of Maxiell and Stuckey, this team is getting the right composition of old and new as in fresh legs and experience. This team has league’s second solid starting 5 behind the Lakers.
#3 Orlando – Dwight Howard’s continuous improvement is the key to Magic’s success. They have good frontcourt in Howard, Lewis and Hedo but the backcourt is a big question. They can’t go anywhere with Nelson as their point.
#4 Cleveland – They got a point guard in Mo Williams that will really help King James but Big Ben and Z need to adjust playing alongside each other. Key is reserves’ Pavlovic and Varejao. They need to show the old form that help Cavs reached the 2006 finals.
#5 Philadelphia – Elton Brand’s arrival answered their problems to a weak frontline they have last season. Brand will be a force to reckon in the East. They have solid players in every position.
#6 Toronto – Jermain O’neal’s arrival lessen the burden off Chris Bosh but I hope he stays healthy. Watched out for Spain’s Jose Calderon. He’ll be a big surprise this season.
#7 Miami – Dwayne Wade’s play last Olympics suggests that he is all ready to lead Miami to the playoffs. Sad to say, they missed Derrick Rose at draft night. They need a true point and center to go deeper in the playoffs.
#8 Washington – They won’t miss Gilbert Arenas. Antawn and Caron will continue to play at All-Star levels but this team is only good for another first round exit.
#9 Chicago – Throw Ben Gordon out of the team to improve chemistry. Youth still needs to improve consistency. No. 1 pick Derrick Rose needs to improve shooting skills.
#10 Atlanta – Mike Bibby’s becoming ala Jason Williams. If Marvin Williams and Al Horford continues to improve, this team has a glance of making the play offs.
#11 Charlotte – Larry Brown brings what the team lacks last season. Individually, they are good and their new coach will make this team on the rise, but probably plays off chances are for next season.
#12 Milwaukee – New coach Scott Skiles is known for defense. But this team is not known for that. Will they co-exist considering Skiles tough and brutal trainings?
#13 New Jersey – Vince Carter will win some games but nothing spectacular from this team. Another losing season especially J-Kidd is gone.
#14 Indiana – Larry Bird’s rebuilding will take some time especially Donnie Walsh left him. Danny Granger will be known this season.
#15 New York – As long as Marbury, Randolf and Curry plays together, this team is going nowhere. Poor New York.

Missing the Boxing Match

Usually end of the year, boxing will be at its best. Dito kc ang mga bigtime fights. Like last Sunday, namiss ko ang laban ni Shane Mosley at Ricardo Mayorga. Eto pa naman ang isa sa mga entertaining fights of the year. Knowing Mayorga, sa mga press conference pa lng eh maaliw ka na sa mga antics nya. Hehehe…

Classic ang kinalabasan ng laban na yun. TKO si Mayorga sa 12th round with a second left. Saying tlga at di ko napanood. Mas namiss ko tuloy sa bahay nmin. Kc itong mga ganitong laban ang bonding naming ng tatay ko… hehehe…




Dahil matagal pa ako d2. mas madami akong mamimiss na laban.

Oct 11 – Samuel Peter vs Vitali Klitschko (Klitschko by TKO)
Oct 18 – Kelly Pavlik vs Bernard Hopkins (Hopkins by Dec)
Nov 1 – Christian Mijares vs Vic Darchinyan (Mijares by TKO)
Nov 8 – Joe Calzaghe vs Roy Jones Jr (Calzaghe by TKO)
Nov 15 – Jermain Taylor vs Jeff Lacy (Taylor by Dec)
Nov 22 – Ricky Hatton vs Paul Malignaggi (Hatton by Dec)
Dec 6 – Oscar dela Hoya vs Manny Pacquiao (Pacman by Dec)

Ayan ha, sa mga boxing fans, abangan nyo yan. Sulit ang panonood nyo nyan. Ok!

Bayani Ka!!!

End of the month – pinakamasayang araw sa isang tulad ko… eh kc naman sweldo na! At this time, ito ang first sweldo ko bilang isang OFW. Hehehe. Isa na akong bayani ng Pilipinas kong mahal.

Ang sarap palang sumuweldo ng ibang currency. Hahaha. Syempre first tym kaya tlgang overwhelmed ako. Kc naman yun isang buwang sweldo ko d2 eh isang taon ko sa pinas. Grabe di ba… kaya ngyon alam ko na kung bakit madaming mga kapwa pinoy ang nakikipagsapalaran sa ibang bansa kahit na delikado.



Hay, yun sweldo d2 eh tlgang sulit. Bkt kamo? Cyempre malayo ka sa mga mahal mo sa buhay at tlgang mahohomesick ka. Tpos sa dami ng trabahong binibigay sau. Tulad ngyon, ako in charge sa Kabul City optimisation, ako pa din ang may hawak ng parameter consistency checking ng siyam na BSC. At ang malupit, ako din ang in charge sa Huawei changeout. Hay, sulit tlga.

Pero ang bottom line, bigtym ka d2. Isipin mo na lng dollars yan! Hehehe…
