First week of training was great. Had loads of fun. Really enjoy the company of my co-trainees (Jen, Ace, Robby, Dianne and Kuya Ben) and of course our two trainers Justin and Pia (who is also a Thomasian. Thomasians everywhere).

But I also got a hard slap from reality. My lifestyle immensely shifted. Waking up when it’s still dark is really not thrilling. And those sardines-like MRT rides in the morning and evening. And of course the Makati traffic, don't even get me started.

And yeah, I don’t really know if this job could provide a solid foundation for a future career but at least my paycheck will be good. Lol. I’m just starting anyway.

But what’s great about it is the work atmosphere. Light, happy, carefree, hardly any pressure at all. Couldn’t get any better eh? Wooh and free coffee too. Yeah!

Me, Dianne, Jen (girl with the long hair), Ace (with the black shirt), Robby, Kuya Ben and our trainer Pia (green jacket).

Cool.

With Jen @ the Patio. She's from UP.

With Dianne @ the Pantry. Really an interesting gal.

UST Tigers lost to the Ateneo Blue Eagles.

That’s it. So much for defending the basketball championship. we lost the cheer dance crown, and the seniors men’s basketball as well.

But the players did their best. Rookie Mirza didn’t get much luck. But canals showed some passion and desire to win. And Jervy Cruz, he will still be this season’s MVP no doubt.

Sigh.

I remember my interview with Japs Cuan after they won the championship last season. He said that they will defend the title no matter what. Too bad for him this is his last season. But he’s an OK point guard and he was the only cager who gave me different and decent answers to my questions (the others kept saying the same thing over and over again).

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, good thing I’ll start work tomorrow. Got something to else to think and worry about.

Grrr. this reminds me of the matches of SMC-RP in FIBA. Same disappointed feeling.

Well, until next year. Go USTe.

Since the Tigers lost, I’ll be rooting for the Archers now.

Your Score: Eden McCain
You scored 37 Idealism, 70 Nonconformity, 20 Nerdiness

"I think you really want a donut."

Congratulations, you're Eden McCain! You've got a colorful past, and your persuasive abilities are second to none. In addition, you're a quick thinker with a solid amount of guts. Your best quality: The art of persuasion Your worst quality: A fondness for some stereotypically "bad" behavior.

The Heroes Personality Test

Weird result. Eden's powers are cool but she's not my favorite. And I'd rather have telekinesis. Hmmm. I'd go look for more quiz or retake this one.

Yay. Finally I got to update my blog. I’ve been busy with my job requirements and such, start my training on Monday. So I’ve been playing lots of Final Fantasy 12 and Raw VS SmackDown on PS2 – I know I’ll have little time when I start work.

And about my soon to be work. It not really my dream job but it’s ok. The company offers twice the salary of Bulletin and ABS. And at least still get to write. I know I don’t have the patience to answer phone calls from foreigners. Lol.

Sigh. I’m far from where I wanna be.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Anyway, even though it’s late, as a Thomasian, I must include that the 5 year cheer dance crown of the Salinggawi Dance Troupe ended. The UP Pep Squad got the championship this year, Gawi landed on 1st place. But it’s all good. Tanggap ko na matalo sila sa UP coz they were great. But of course I think Gawi’s better. Lol.

Tigers and Eagles will face on Sunday. The winner will then battle 2nd placer La Salle with the twice to beat advantage.

Go USTE!!!

I remember last year I watched the semis and final matches. Lol.

I have faith in our basketball team.

Jervy Cruz deserves the MVP title while Kashim Mirza for the Rookie of the Year.

Yesterday at this clinic habang nagpapa medical exam ako.

Nurse: (Inayos ang injection para sa pag kuha ng dugo ni Sho)

Sho: (Trying hard not to cry or show fear, kahiya.)

Nurse: Idiretso mo yung kamay mo.

Sho: ok. (sinunod ang nurse, pero unti unting tumitiklop.)

Nurse: (DINeretso ang kamay ni Sho)

Sho: (Flinched and gave a soft shout)

Nurse: Wala pa.

Sho: (tumingin sa nurse, inaayos pa rin pala ang injection. Musta naman. Lol)


*ok, nag taglish na ako. Lol

I thought GMA would air Shaider again. Sobrang favorite ko yung show na yun. A few days ago, pinalabas ang isang commercial.

My sister: Kuya, ayan na yung paborito mo.

Excitedly, tumakbo talaga ako para mapanood ang cpmmercial. And then I saw Dennis Trillo, with two starstruck boys. Grrr.

I miss UST. Lats time i went there kinuha ko yung grad pics ko. Hmmm. Wala na akong maisip. Lol.

Random

Been playing X-Men Legends 2 all week.

My X-team: Juggernaut (or Rogue), Magneto (or Wolverine), Ice Man (or Storm), and Jean Grey.

I usually just control Jean and Magneto, so I can stay back and just buff my allies or attack the enemies from afar. Their Telekinesis and Levitation abilities are the best.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I ignored ECW and SmackDown yesterday, instead, from 6:30pm, I stay tuned to Disney Channel waiting for the premiere of High School Musical 2. Ok, laugh at me if you want. Anyway, I think the story is better. I like a few songs as well.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

LSS mode: “Under my umbrella… ella… ella… eh… eh… eh…”

I like both Rihanna and Mandy Moore versions. Second Rihanna song I like (first was Pon De Replay).

My UAAP forecast seems to be accurate, at least three of my predictions for now. The Tigers needs to win over the Tamaraws first. If they win, they secure the final slot. But if they lose, they might face the Tamaraws again since they will be tied if ever.

On the other hand, if UE will be able to get a round 2 sweep, they will move on to the Finals. Then the third and fourth placer will have a face-off where the winner will face the team on the second spot with a twice to beat disadvantage. The winner will of course face the Warriors.

But if UE loses to DLSU on Thursday, we will have the usual semi-finals. The first placer will face the fourth placer with the twice to beat incentive, while the second placer, also with the same benefit, will face the third placer.

So yeah, the last matches are all crucial. Especially for the top 5 teams.

GO Tigers!!

Jervy Cruz deserves the MVP award.
