One Good Sunday

Yes, we can definitely call this Sunday "Green Day" simply because, well, during the current Sportsfest games, Green Team actually won all their scheduled games. Volleyball Men's, Volleyball Women's, Basketball Juniors and Basketball Seniors. Volleyball Men's and Women's are unbeaten since Opening Day (June 6), Basketball Seniors won three straight after dropping the opening day game and Basketball Juniors finally barged in the win column today.

Overall, it was a good day for the green team (I call our group the "Kampon ng Kaberdehan" just something that popped in my mind). I posted some pictures below, you guys might want to check the album Sportsfest'10 in my facebook profile (not all pictures there are mine, I grabbed some from other teammates albums, okay so I pirated some, guilty as charged :p)

Go Green!

Yeah, and the opponent's side, see Ma'am Girly in front clearly not paying attention to the game at the moment the picture was taken (it's a dead-ball anyway) and instead flashed a cute smile for our priceless collection.

And here's Leo walking upcourt after scoring a basket.

See the layout of the gym? Yeah, it's pretty crowded in seeing that there are five to six playing courts in a row. We utilized four of them at the same time and unfortunately, some games for the participating teams are simultaneously held so your supporters are well, scattered.

Till next time. Have a great weekend to all and Happy Father's Day to all daddies!

Sportsfest 2010

It was the time of the year again when the company takes time "off" from work and has various competitions. The groupings were fairly well divided and this group will be together until come December on the company christmas party. So, I was fortunate enough to be one of the participants for the basketball team for the 4th year in a row and the last two years were well, least memorable because I always get injured before opening day, tough luck (the left knee is getting older faster than any part of my body :p). Anyway, that setback won't be stopping me to compete and have fun.

This event will end by the second week of July and we like our chances. By the way, I'm wearing number 16, if you can see me in the picture above.

Healing

Last Thursday afternoon, I stumbled on a video on youtube. I listened to it and liked it and immediately when I got to work, I inquired with my team if anyone had a copy of that song so I could copy. The look on their faces and their reaction are well, surprised to say the least. They actually thought I'm in love :P

Anyways, to make the long story short, I didn't get the copy until the following working day so, here we are now, I uploaded the song in FILEDEN.com, generated a music player in MIXPOD.com

So, enjoy, the song has a good message and I'm sure you'll like it. Feel free to sing along as I also posted the lyrics below.

Happy weekend everyone.

Now that we have gotten through
One more fall
I can just admit I've got it all
Cause I do
Cause I've got you
We've crossed these battle lines to many times
It passes through the heart
But it never leaves a mark

Cause Your love just keeps on healing me
No matter how I bruise
If I just trust You
Your love just keeps on healing me
One more clue
One more chance that wasn't there before
In your arms
no pain can harm the way I'm feeling
Lord I know that Your love is healing

I've kicked around those lines in my head
But I've never listened to the words that You said
See where its lead
Well I know I have it now
Cause You showed me how
And all I had to do
Was just to keep my eyes on You

Cause Your love just keeps on healing me
No matter how I bruise
If I just trust You
Your love just keeps on healing me
One more clue
One more chance that wasn't there before
In your arms
no pain can harm the way I'm feeling
Lord I know that Your love is healing

(break)

Cause Your love just keeps on healing me
No matter how I bruise
If I just trust You
Your love just keeps on healing me
One more clue
One more chance that wasn't there before
In your arms
no pain can harm the way I'm feeling

Lord I know that Your love is healing

Valentines Day 2010

Valentines Day is fast approaching, 7 days to go as of this writing. Love is in the air, so they say. Well for me, looks like its going to be another ordinary day. The last time I've celebrated Valentines Day with someone is last 2005. My friends and colleagues ask me this question, "Why don't you try to have another relationship again?" My answer is simple, "Because I don't like to." Plain and simple. I mean, I'm not that desperate to have someone right now. I enjoy being single although at times I can't help but look and admire at couples at malls or in the streets. I've been with some girls and I don't feel anything, really. So, it's unfair to just court some girl just because I want to have a partner right now, it would be unfair to her. Anyway, the company has set out an overnight swimming party just a few blocks from the office on February 13, but before that, I'll be in Antipolo (another swimming) in the morning for my grandmother's birthday. Maybe I'll be asleep all day on the 14th. What a way to celebrate Valentines this year. Who knows, maybe the company's swimming might turn out well for me. :)

New Year - New Beginning

It's the year 2010. When I was still in Elementary, we always think of the year 2000 the the space-age years wherein we can see flying cars, floating houses and buildings, super intelligent robots, full automation, in short, somewhat like what we have see in "The Jetsons" cartoon series when we were young.

And yet here we are now in 2010, not only the whole world have made advances in technology (although this is not what we imagine way back in the 1990's) having more cool stuff releases with such short intervals, we are also facing other real-world issues and the most important that I can think of right now is climate change. But enough of that for this post. What I am trying to say is here we are in the "future" and yet it reminded me that everything is not going to turn out the way we expected this. Who knows? Give it a couple of decades more and we'll see what happens.

Till the next post.
