Well, Season 72 na ang league na pinakasusubaybayan ko in my whole life. Err. Even if I'm not in college yet, as a sports enthusiast, I must not miss another season of my favorite athletic competition, which is UAAP.
So I'm kinda tinatamad magpost so I'll just give my predictions in the basketball tournament for all the member schools alphabetically.
Adamson Soaring Falcons - So this team has a lot of returning players. Nawala lang sina Marc Agustin and Paul Gonzalgo. Nandito pa ang steady players nila na sina Jan Colina, Mike Galinato, Jerick Cañada, and Lester Alvarez. Leo Canuday is also a good readddition to the team. I think they might improve their 3 win show last season. Unfortunately, natalo sila sa UST sa first game nila this season.
Ateneo Blue Eagles - Whoa, my bets for last season. Wala na Chris Tiu. Ohh. He's a big part kung bakit ko sinuportahan ang ADMU. Yuri Escueta, Jobe Nkemakolam, and Mike Baldos will not play na rin ata. But Rabeh is still there, they have a good chance in retaining their crown with Jai, Eric, Nonoy, etc. Let's see kung ano maipapakita nila this year.
De La Salle Green Archers - I think napakalaking kawalan sina JVee and Rico. They don't have a leader in the court right now. James Mangahas and PeeJay Barua must step up to fill their shoes. They must have consistency in their play also. They only score 46 against UE earlier. Gosh, this is not the La Salle team we've been known for. Out pala sa season ang isa sa mga idol kong rookies last year LA Revilla because of sickness. But the future for La Salle is big. They have Sam Marata, Arvie Bringas, and Banal together with some sophomores Maui Villanueva, Joshua Webb and others. We'll just wait. Maybe this year is not their year.
FEU Tamaraws - The hosts for this years season. I think they have a good chance in making it to the finals. Sila bet ko for this season. They lost Ben Fernandez, Marlon Adolfo and Mac Baracael ata this season. But they have an intact line-up for this year. They do have 3 players who were part of the Smart Gilas team who played internationally, Mark Barroca, JR Cawaling, and Aldrech Ramos. Barroca showed spectacular basketball in the FIBA chuchu tournament and I think they will show their veteran guts to try to win against Ateneo tomorrow.
NU Bulldogs - Sad note for them last year, they only got 2 wins, which was the worst last season. Too bad they will also lose top scorers Edwin Asoro, Raymond Aguilar and pati ata si Jay Jahnke. Well, they do have one main gun for this season which is Jewel Ponferrada na kinakitaan ko naman ng galing last season. Manny Dandan said in the primer na they do have a small lineup this season but quickness will be their main gun for this year. Goodluck to NU, sana mag-improve kayo.
UE Red Warriors - Shocking news, nagka-ACL si James Martines, whoa. Malaking kawalan agad yon coz he's onew of the best 3-point shooting guards last year. Graduated na din sina Marcy Arellano and Hans Thiele. But they have a pretty good line-up this season, though, and also a new coach in the name of Lawrence Chiongson. Their main weapons this season are Elmer Espiritu, Paul Lee, Paul Zamar, Pari Llagas, Rudy Lingganay, and a lot more. Marami pa naman ang natira sa mga players last year. They have a good shot at making to the final 4, just my opinion.
UP Fighting Maroons - Wow, umaasenso na ata ulit ang UP. From a winless show in season 70, they managed to win 3 games last season with the help of now sophomore coach Aboy Castro. Jay Agbayani is their only key loss. The spotlight will be on Woody Co, Martin Reyes, and Magi Sison. Former Baby Falcon Mark Juruena is with them also. Good luck for the Fighting Maroons to try to improve more their showing this season.
UST Growling Tigers - Last season was kinda a heartbreaker for them. They have a good chance considering their experienced lineup but that is kinda a forgetful one for them. Jervy Cruz, thir main gun bids goodbye together with Francis Allera, Japs Cuan, Chester Taylor, and Mark Canlas. The experience of this squad is within the hands of Dylan Ababou who is their team captain for this year. The leadership and the quality play will come definitely from him with the help of some reliable players Khasim Mirza, Tata Bautista and the returning players. Although this team is on its rebuilding process, they are still hoping a shot on the final 4 and hopefully for the crown.
So this ends my brief assessment for the season. With my utmost passion in sports, especially UAAP Basketball, expect me to post a lot of sports action here.
Ciao,
Mark (^_^)

Gosh, this is the most perfect, if not the most perfect title for my blog post today. It's a Monday, hey. It's school day but I really needed to post this one coz I might forget what happened on this kinda special and sh*t day.
Well, for me, I thought it was just another day in school coz it's Monday, but a sudden twist made it kinda memorable. So since he time I woke up, prepared for school and up to 12 noon, it was my daily routine. English was nice, Math was urgghh hard, Values should I say is booorring. I'm so bad. But that was I really felt and I was kinda nainis when Sister says a lot of negativities in this world, and I reacted a lot on the OFW thing, coz my father is an OFW and she said that OFW's are just 'nagapapayaman' and they chose abroad than the Philippines and earn a lot of money which is DEFINITELY UNTRUE! I was furious at that time. My dad works so hard there and he di not make us maluho and were not rich, we're just a normal family na nakakaraos and a lot of times get a lot of help from 'utang'. Yan naglabas na ko ng sama ng loob. TLE was cool, we presented our play and Ma'am Carla gave a very good remark and we're the best among the performers. She commented na di daw ako masyadong nagsalita and she thought na I was mad at her which was a BIG NO. My role kasi is to be a dehydrated kid and Ididn't said anything on the play coz I'm the patient. Anyway, I enjoyed it really.
The difference in this day though is when we did not attend classes to personally go to UP-DEPP which is University of the Philippines-Diliman Extension Program in Pampanga in Clark! Whoa. Anghaba ng pangalan. tsk. We went to our adviser and we asked for permission and then went there. First, we go hassles in the post office in the municipal hall to pay the P450 application fee. 30 mins. din kami dun and then I went home and hastily changed my clothes and just ate a little lunch then bumalik na ko sa school to see my classmates who are also going there. I was with Jessie, Fatima, Joel, Marc, Phil, Gian. Tey, Jereza, Sarah, Marija, Ian, Kelvin, and Patrick. The jeepney ride was so cool coz our jeep was the best jeep in town, the aircon jeep, one of a kind actually. We were not bored during the 1 hour trail to Clark coz we keep on dakdakan and chika and also taking pictures and videos. Then nakarating na kami sa UP Clark, for short, whoa, eto pala yun. Mas maganda pa sa picture. It looks like a kulungan or jail but students here are smart so that's why I named my post "Don't judge a book by its cover, bow." When we got there, we had some bad news, we need 4 photos and some of us only had 2, we were there 2:30 and it will be closed at 3. We hurried to SM Clark, which was kinda nearby but we were in panic. Ayaw na naming bumalik. Manong driver was not around so we rode a public jeep to SM. In our way o SM dahil nasa panic mode na kame, in the jeep, napagalitan kami ng isang pasahero, di nalang namin pinansin, pare-pareho lang naman kaming pasahero. Wala syang magagawa. Nung nandun na kame we went immediately to the photo studio and printed 6 copies of our 2x2 pix. Minimum lang ang 6 copies. Ang naging problem ay sa aming classmate na itatago natin sa pangalang Dian. (haha) na nagpadala pala ng form niya kay Marc na di sinasabi samen. Si Marc lang ang di namin classmate tapos di nya kami pinagkatiwalaan. Kasi we were so strict na yung magpapass ng UPCAT forms ay dapat sumama samen. Bawal magpapasa. Nilabag niya ang rule namen so were so furious lalo na si Sarah and Jessie. Syempre, sinu bang di magagalet. Nagbayad kami, napagod kame, nag-absent kame para dun tapos siya nagrerecitation, nag-group activity, nag-attend ng class at ang pinakamasaklap, inabonohan ko pa sya ng P150 para sa pix nya. Kulang din yung sakanya then kailangan pang pa-scan. ang mahal. Sabe nila wag na but I insisted. Kahit na galit nako, at wala ng pera, inacomplish pa namin ang form nya. We waited for 20 mins. so we went pa sa NBS para bumili ng supplies. Then we asked our other classmates na naiwan sa UP Clark if open pa cla. 3 na. Nagmakaawa cla and yung personnel dun pumayag na mag-extend. Pero up to 3:30 lang. So 3:20 na. Dun palang kami natapos. Then we rushed to go out of SM and we didn't know the terminal going back to UP Clark. Muntik pang nasagasaan si Phil tapos nag-over da bakod ba naman sana kahit na andun na yung gate. LOL moment yun ah. Nung palang asa SM pa kami palabas, takbuhan na, di bale kung madapa o pagtinginan. Talagang gahol kami sa oras. Nakasakay na kami ng jeep, ang bagal ng driver. Nung malapit nalang kame sa UP, sabi nila paalis na daw yung personnel and sinabe namen. Wait lang! One minute na lang promise. Ihh. paalsi na daw. Sandali lang. Anu ba! Ayaw na naming bumalek!! Then nakaabot kame. Bukas pa UP Clark. Mga 3:45 na ata nun. Thanks kay kuya at hinintay pa kame. Ayus na sana pero nagkadiskusyon kami kay Dian tapos nakausap namin yung guard kung kelan cla open and then he said they're open from Tuesdays to Saturdays. Huwaat. Monday ngayon so supposed to be sarado but because of UPCAT deadline na bukas, they were there and we were supposed to be going there last Saturday pero namisinform kmi ng classmate namin na itago natin sa pangalang Mary Anne na closed sila pag saturdays. Edi sayang. Dapat di na kami nag-absent. Pero at least tapos na. Yung test nalang. Sana man lang may pumasa samen.
Then we went to SM Clark to eat and lakwatsa. Ayoko ng magkwento dahil mag-aaral pa ko. Mahaba-haba narin post ko. Nakauwi na kame around 7 quarter.
And till next time.
Lovelots, Mark. (Phrem, sorry gaya-gaya lang.)
Bye.
