Every. Second. Counts.

This, I believe is what went on the mind of coach Norman Black when he steered the Ateneo Blue Eagles to its first win in this year's best-of-three UAAP championship finals. Tonight's game would definitely go down in history. Ganun ang magandang game. Close fight talaga til the last second. I remember that both the half time and third quarter scores were tied (pati ba first quarter?).

I was already preparing myself for the taunts I bet I'll get at the office tomorrow, after the UST guy launched his 2-pointer shot leaving ateneo with only a second to execute a play.  The ateneo crowd was so disheartened, if I may say, dahil kasali ako sa mga almost hopeless na. 

I thought that coach and the team were wasting their time formulating a play.  Halow- 1 second na lang kaya!  I saw something like that in PBA (Talk N Text) pero 2seconds ata yun o 3 seconds.  1 second- kaya pa kaya yun?!  Only a few had the energy to still cheer on the team. 

Then, the amazing thing happened - they left a blue eagle open, libreng-libre to shoot that one last shot to nail in ateneo's game1 victory.  We yelled like there was no tomorrow and jumped up and down as if there was enough space (Ü).  I was smiling from ear to ear that I think I pressed my eyes so hard, kasi napansin ko na lang pagkatapos parang may little tears na sa sides ng mata ko. Hihi. Everyone was giving each other high-fives, kahit hindi magkakilala. Astig talaga. Saya! Salamat Robbie for the free tix! c",)

Grow up! Fast! Now na!

Dangerous combination: matalino at sabi nga ni Sitti: "...coz I know you're the dangerous kind". Gwapo ni Yael Yuzon (!) - mukhang pasaway at matalino. Naging champion na pala siya sa Game KNB...  :)

It nevertheless eliminated the need for mushy I'm sorry's and dramatic accusations. Although I wanted to speak, I fear I won't be able to do justice for my thoughts. There are some things fortunately left unsaid (it saves shame for some, hehe). But I trust some things were agreed on, even without laying out the rules verbally (a sigh of relief). For the 'start', and the second 'start', salamat.

Nuff of mush, back to work!

I realized that during the past few days, it was getting harder each day for me to smile.  I wonder if the people in the office noticed it.  One kidded that "mainit ulo ko" one time, and I confirmed his guess. My answer was quick, but I can't really pinpoint the reason for my "init ulo".  I just decided that day that I have no time or energy for kidding around.

Slowly I realize the BIG responsibilities that come with the position/job I have. At the onset of the realization, it is overwhelmingly cool. But slowly the 'whole package' sinks in.  Maybe this is what keeps me tensed the past days.

My new month resolution - I won't let stress, pressure and fear take their toll on me, keeping me from enjoying my job and the company of the people around me.

K? Sarah Shayne? Alalahanin ito palagi!

I was again inspired to re-decorate my home at the web.
Pagbigyan niyo na itong frustrated dancer na ito. Hihi.

By the way, I "lost" my years-old e-mail add, due to... well.. um.. stupidity and carelessness? So should you wish to communicate/keep in touch via email kindly do so in this address.

I am so geek. It's 3am and I'm busy with this. I promise to lay off blogdrive the whole day tomorrow, or blogs for that matter. Tomorrow would be bum day for me, yahoo!

Ang yabang mo? Tsk. Sayang.

What if you met the one you've been waiting  for a long time? He smiled and came to you, then he held your hands, putting them to his cheek while softly saying:

"My life will end tomorrow... I'm glad I met you..."

And I'm excited.  But the thought scares me. I know nervousness would eat up my ability to perform it as I can. So I'm scratching off thoughts of nervousness and fright.

I'm excited. Another chapter starts. Adjah!
