I was at work while the game was on going. But I'm blessed to be following the Sexy Mom on Twitter so I got regular updates. Then, midway through the second quarter, I realized that Marc (he's a Davaoeño blogger) was live blogging. It was an intense afternoon waiting for updates from both Dine and Marc. I really, really though the DLSU Green Archers was going to win. I was shocked (BUT VERY HAPPY) when I learned that the Ateneo Blue Eagles won. YEY!!! Next game is on Sunday... GO ATENEO!!!

Dreaming up a Dream House
When I moved out of our house, one of the things that entered my mind was of course having my own house someday. This would entail a lot, lot, lot of saving up. Imagine buying your own lot, paying for all the paperworks and legalities necessary. Then, paying the engineer, architect (but my friend says he's gonna do it for a discounted price, so thank you!), carpenters, electricians, and other installers and contractors. And then of course, there would also be costly construction materials: cement (whose prices are getting higher by the minute, I exaggerate but you get the point), lumber, nails, trusses, tiles, sinks, doorknobs, and what nots. And it being a home for a Queen (ehem*ME*ehem), it should have the nicest (but not necessarily expensive) furniture, appliances, and fixtures. And let's not forget the interior design. Did you that there PRC certified interior designers? I must hire one!!! And let him/her choose all the most tasteful linens, decors, ad infinitum. Me being the cooking freak that I am, I must, must, must have all the best kitchen fixtures, tools, and appliances. RAWRRR! Just think about it makes my head ache and my nose bleed. Writing about this makes…
The Return of the Batalyong Pitbull vs Black-Bord
Talibong1 returns with more Benjo fun. Here's part four of his Benjo series... Benjo: Ang Pagsalakay (The Rise of the "Black-Bord"). HAROO! HAROO! HAROO! GO BORDZ!!!
Ateneo vs La Salle AGAIN!
HOOOHA!!! After a win over the defending champions UST Tigers (YEAH!), the Ateneo Blue Eagles will face once again their biggest rivals, the DLSU Green Archers. Yeah, yeah, yeah... the fates have decided that three Ateneo - DLSU matches just ain't enough for one season. And would you believe, the New York Times even has feature on the Ateneo - La Salle rivalry... Senators, foreign diplomats, cabinet ministers, a smattering of Forbes’s 40 richest Filipinos, movie stars and enough professional basketball players to play five-on-five. They are the elite of Philippine society, and they all gather at Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City to watch the men’s basketball rivalry between the universities Ateneo de Manila and De La Salle.... Ateneo and La Salle are the most prestigious private universities in the country. The question of which institution provides a superior education is a toss-up; the tie breakers take place on the basketball court. Although Ateneo and La Salle have similar upper-class student bodies, their respective basketball teams are very different. GO ATENEO! ONE! BIG! FIGHT!

Why I Don't Ask for Help
I find it easy to ask other people for help. I am a very talkative person and I have no qualms sharing my life's tragedies with others, but I find it extremely hard and painful to actually ask for help. Earlier today, my aunt talked to me to ask the the state of my affairs. And it was totally uncomfortable for me. I was close to tears. Yes, I have problems, and although I cannot really handle them all by myself, I do not ask for help. I do not ask for help because almost always it comes with a price. Yes, I know I messed up, I've been stupid and careless and whatnot... I don't need you to tell me all that. If you want to help, then by all means help me, but don't do it just so you can earn the right to yell at me, and talk about me, and criticize me, and make me a cautionary tale to others. I know I am not really a Queen, not Wonder Woman, and I cannot always be just strong and independent. I recognize that there are times such as now that I badly need other people's help.…
