How do you measure a year? :)

I've always loved this song :) It's from the musical Rent.



SEASONS OF LOVE

[ALL]
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Moments so dear.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In Daylights, in sunsets, in midnights
In cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.

In five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure
A year in the life?

How about love?
How about love?
How about love? Measure in love

Seasons of love.
Seasons of love.

[JOANNE]
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes!
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Journeys to plan.

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life
Of a woman or a man?

[COLLINS]
In truths that she learned,
Or in times that he cried,
In bridges he burned,
Or the way that she died.

[ALL]
It's time now to sing out,
Tho' the story never ends
Let's celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends
Remember the love!
Remember the love!
Remember the love
Measure in love
Seasons of love!
Seasons of love.

[JOANNE]
Oh you got to remember the love,
You know that love is a gift from up above
Share love, give love, spread love
Measure, measure your life in love.

Turning 26

I'm counting down the last few minutes of being 25. Louie's keeping me company via SMS. I'm really touched since she's all the way in Tajikistan (did I spell this right?)

Anyway, today was my ex-Sunlife-boss Manny's last day with the Sunny Company (credit to Ces for the moniker), and I went over to TEC to attend his despedida. It was fun! I got to see my old teammates, my old users and made me feel a little bit wistful about things. I know it's not just me who has these 'feelings' of missing my Sunny days.

It's weird that this is what I contemplate as I turn 26. :P I guess it's just a coincidence that I had to be there on this day, and that I'm texting with Louie. Other than that, there really isn't much to think about anyway.

Haha, Louie just texted me... I guess I'm now 26.

Time to celebrate! ;)

9 days to go...

...until I stop being 25.

Wala lang. :)

This year I'm planning to buy myself either a Lenovo IdeaPad S10 or an MSI Wind. I've passed on numerous EeePCs and other netbooks in the past, but now with a decent 10" screen and comparable specs to base config laptops, I really can't resisit for much longer. I also checked the EeePC, HP Mini Note, Acer Aspire One and have narrowed the choices down to the S10 and the Wind. And what better excuse do I need to splurge other than celebrating my birthday?

Yeah... my birthday's just an excuse, I just really want a netbook. :) But I don't know... maybe I can manage with my iPAQ for a few more months... we'll see. =P

Bitter Loss

Should I even bother?

I waited until the next day to write my post because I was so down yesterday I would have probably written something I would regret.

But after reading newspaper articles and user comments about the game last night, I'm more incensed than I was before.

Yes, WE LOST, and yes WE DON'T THINK THE CALLS WERE FAIR...calling us sore losers for the remarks Franz made, Rico's reaction and by the Archers not wanting to come out of the dugout only adds insult to injury.

Yes, I'm insulted. Do you honestly expect us to react any other way?

Ateneo played with a lot of heart, congratulations to them. This really isn't a post to question the championship, I just want to say what I feel.

I'm bitter about the loss...it was not a fair fight, at least I didn't think so.

And for all those who just can't understand why we're so emotional about our players, about the game...then just keep your comments to yourself okay?

I better shut up now, there's really no point anyway.

I bleed green.

Animo La Salle!

Go for Game 3!

Whatever happens today... I still remain, forever green =D Animo La Salle!
Let's go Archers! Let's Go!

Tickets please!

It's going to be La Salle vs. Ateneo in the finals!

Both teams won their respective final four matches yesterday, La Salle beating FEU by a mere five points, the victory made possible by James Mangahas, who shot a career high 20 points with half of it scored in the last quarter, including a crucial 3 point play in the dying seconds of the game. Ateneo, on the other hand, completely dominated UE with a whopping 20 point lead.

Which brings us back to the dream UAAP finals which I am now desperately seeking tickets for.

Can we win back to back championships? I sure hope so.

Keep the faith everyone. Animo La Salle! :)
