The word!: NBA Playoffs

west

Unbelievable. Incredible. Improbable. Impossible?

These might be the words that would possibly come out from a New Orleans Hornets fan after a road win by
the defending champions San Antonio Spurs.

Almost everyone knew before the match-up took place that the Spurs would take the uprising Hornets
team to school with predictions of a 5 or 6 game series that will be won by the spurs. Then the Hornets
won game 1 by nearly 20 points and made everyone wondering if the spurs became that bad of a team. The next,
surprisingly was no different in outcome and performance, as the hornets outclassed a dwindling
Spurs team. Why? The Spurs weren't that bad, truth be told, these Hornets we're that damn good.
I have been a Spurs fan long before and the only feeling I have was helplessness as I watch the Hornets
push the Spurs to the limit.

The Hornets won, not a championship but the respect of the whole organization(NBA) and fans worldwide that they
have become a force to be reckoned with. Maybe a couple more years and a solid bench, and they'd be singing dynasty
down the streets of New Orleans.

As for the spurs, they still have one more hurdle to overcome who have proved throughout the season to be no push-overs.
As long as #24 is on the court, expect a 42 to light up the score boards as this Lakers-Spurs series
is sure to go the distance. Heart of the Champions? Desire and Hunger for the Glory days?


east

Boston Celtics won, which should be no surprise. However, the surprise is that it took them 7 games to win
each series. They didn't lose because they're bad, it's this "We want the underdogs to win!" thing that
made me root for anyone but not Boston to win. Cmon', there is nop doubt the amount of talent in their team,
but unless they could prove they can win a road game, it would be difficult to win against the Detroit Pistons
who, despite winning a championship before, have now become hungrier to win than ever.

There's not much drama going on the east.

Boston needs to win a road game this time around or it's DEEEEEEEEEEETRIOTTTT BASKEEEETBAALLLLLLLLL! all over again.

woman

she is a woman, no less than a man

she smiles and frowns just like any other human

she is beautiful yet inconceivable.just like an untold fairy tale.

as our eyes meet, our breath held back, as if staring at the unknown.

then wwe ask questions, then start conversations then we smile.

as if tomorrow will never pass by, we never said goodbye.

because in every corner is a woman, and I am a man.

a man, who will always love a woman

poetry [A+ in english thank you very much.]

poetry, written wizardry. poetry, sonds good to me.

poetry smiles, despite people's miseries.

poetry cries, when people close their eyes to the inner beauty.

the writer dies, with every lie he writes.

but lives eternally, between the broken lines.

lives eternally, between the tears in one's eyes.

poetry, sweet, sultry, poetry.

your are the vagueness of beauty.

you are as beautiful as poetry.

If you forget me - Pablo Neruda

I want you to know
one thing.

You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.

If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.

If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.

But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine

-pablo.. that was magnificent! brilliant! astounding! mind-blowing! marvelous! thanks..

if i were somewhere

let's say i'm not in the philippines, what would I still be doing..

hmmm

well, if i'm not in the philippines, i'd be looking for new things, like friends or places. if i succeed in that, i'd be playing basketball with them or asking them to tour me around the place. and if I get lucky, maybe two of those (who are female in gender) would sort of be fond of me just because I'm new to the place. and by the looks of it, one just wants to get freaky and the other would be the un-freaky. one is blonde and the other a brunette, and blondes do have lot's of fun.

I freak out because of the situation, without really having a 'game' and a 'gameplan' but get the hang of it being a good looking chap like I'am. but then, I would still be going to school and studying stuff about the environment. I won't be wasting my time and just study until I get a job. i would have a long hair, and my hair will not be all over the place. i would learn to drive an automatic and be a more disciplined driver who stops at every stop sign and a crossing pedestrian.

i would be doing everything by myself, like washing my clothes, cooking my food, washing the dishes, and watering the plants. I would enjoy my stay. I would have fun and a great time.

but only if I were somewhere...

i'm quite disappointed about the fact that from all the different kinds of bookstores I've searched today, not a single one sells a copy of the (auto)biography of Ayrton Senna. and it took me almost the whole day looking for it.


i guess i'll just have to get the book from some barnes and noble bookstore somewhere out there.

i mean that's just disrespect man; and the next best thing to talking to him is to read about his life.
