Random Rants: Over the overwhelming weekend...

The weekend that was was overwhelming to say the least. In between depression and being down in the doldrums and a lot of other activities,it was interesting in a rather special way.

Mired in Mediocrity
Thursday night (my weekend starts with that day)... We lost out the "big game" in a very disappointing manner... Trailed by as much as 12 points for the first three quarters... Grabbed the lead with a little over 2 or 3 minutes... Lost the game* by 4 points... Meaning we are now out of the running for the Solar Antipolo Basketball League championship... Simply put, it... hurts. Despite holding the twice-to-beat advantage going into the semifinals match-up, we were dominated (one way or the other) in the series (From twice-to-beat to twice-beaten. Ouch.) and lost to the better team, which happened to be the defending champions...

All in all it was another disappointing (no better or more apt word) end to this conference. There's always next season (or conference) and the pessimist says mediocrity is awaiting my team once again. Play on... We'll be fucking racking up the L's next time but so what, we should be fucking playing once again. That is the good news.

*Stats: 1 point (0/5 FGs, 1/2 FTs) maybe 4 assists... 7 turnovers (pessimism settling in, am not sure if it is that exact number... Nonetheless...)

Random Ranch!

Last Saturday, i was invited to visit a ranch in Bulacan a (new) friend owns. i don't know which was more overwhelming; finally meeting Pau (Yeah, same as Gasol of the Los Angeles Lakers) or being in that vast land of a place (And to think it was, undeveloped) In between the horse back-riding (first time) Jollibee (Yum with cheeze lang kasi libre...), yosi (Yey, pareho Marlboro Gold) and pangit-dog-walking (Pangit, that's her dog's name), it was such a nice afternoon.

New friends, new places. Your weekend can't go wrong with that. Would love to post the pictures of the trip but that's quite dependent on Pau herself for i forgot to bring a camera (Low quality phone shots posted on the left) but she brought one...
Anyway, i had a few realizations here and there but it seems i forgot about all of them all of a sudden. Intentionally forgetting them maybe... Life is unfair, life is unfair, life is unfair... i will stop now.

(And oh, Thanks, padod Pau!)
