Revenge

Hurray, Hurray, Hurray for me...

Finally! I've just got my long awaited vengence. I nailed him in the cross and while watching a couple of feet I give him the finger hahaha. Im over exagerated!

You might be thingking that im talking to the dork guy that pisss my day last time. Your wrong dead wrong. Actually my vengence has nothing to do with computers nor network hubs.

It's all about the game! Basketball games as usual.

I remember last december of 2003 when I just arrive in this place it was dark and the wind blows quite strong but not that strong. I had this ball where I just borrowed and tried to burn some fats just to make my self busy and enjoy the night while wondering what will happen to my future.

Then came in an unknown guy who simply join with me playing balls. The usual shooting and dribbling then came out the challenge. He ask me for a one on one. Then I said ok fine since I have been practicing quite sometime and I was confident enough with my trigger hand to nail him down but I was wrong!

During the one on one most of my shots came from the 3 point perimiter but it was not counted as 2 points since there was no deal about it.

I lost the game *pitty me* I was not strong enough to hold on to my stamina. A one on one game really needs a lot of stamina, accuracy and perhaps luck.

I decided to work on it. Every night after work I keep on working out have some 20 rounds of jogging and do some shooting but I never got the chance back. Maybe I was not good enough back then and my destiny was kind enough not to allow it.

Then came last sunday night. The day I never expected. It was a boring night since the players are not enough to complete the full court game. We need more 4 players. While waiting for some players this guy once again challenge me after 2 years. 2 years of grief and mourning since I lost the battle.

Little did he know that I decided to focus and was determin to beat him once and for all. I condition both mind and body for the final showdown.

During the game I assure myself that I will not miss a shot. Everything must be on the right move and no more funny tricks that may allow him the opportunity to win.

At the first 5mins it was a tight game. In every release of the ball it's nothing but basket.

Defense

Then one by one he losses his guard, I steal the ball twice and block his shots 4 times. Every attempt he made was securely guarded. I dictate my self that I must win or forever I will be the looser of my life hahaha.

Offense

Of course you can't win with just defense alone you need to score to win. Then came some of my deadly moves. I out run him with my cross over move everytime he comes close or even if he keeps on moving back ward I keep on getting closer until I can perform my ever improve cross over.

Next is my hurricane spin that he never anticipated. During my practice I alwas wonder on how to perform a simillar crossover move in a situation where your crossover won't work due to your current situation. Example is when you are at the right side of the court. Then came the turn around move with similar quickness. It was deadly too.

Jump shots and fade away makes it harder for him to block and anticipate my move. Imagine doing the crossover or the turn around move then suddenly you perform the jumper. More like Michael Jordan moves hahaha. It was worth practicing.

It was fun though. Some people where even watching our one on one including strangers hehehe. I feel the pride that time as if I gain the respect that I wanted for 2 years of preparation.

This would be forever memory in my heart. My ego is officially upgraded and I can face the world with high hopes.

Apple's Edge Over Microsoft?

In the world of IT, models created by business empires will dictate the future of their products. Microsoft is using the component model as the key to win customers and Apple is using the end-to-end model. Microsoft Windows platform crushed Apple's Macintosh platform the day Microsoft release Windows 98 and pirates come out in the open and dominate every stall in our local mall and computer shops. iPod maybe the best and coolest mp3 player that I have ever seen but I still don't think that Apple will dominate the cell phone era for this place belongs to Asia particularly Nokia and Sony Ericson. I don't know why Walter Mossberg thinks US company will always dominate the world when in fact there is another company that belongs to the world and its called Open Source. I think he is dead wrong with his perception. Without a doubt nobody comes close to iPod in the field of mp3 player however, with the release of Sony Ericson latest cell phone such as W900i.

I was looking for a nice place to chill last Monday to unwind my thoughts and enjoy with my family. I heard about the latest Internet Cafe just open 3 months ago and I decided to check it out. I have seen a lot of Internet Cafe but nothing comes close to this shop. Everything was simply high end from its ambiance, food and computers. It was simply the best place for people who want to collaborate and enjoy together.

John Gokongwei Speech before Ateneo 2004 Graduates

I wish I were one of you today, instead of a 77-year-old man, giving a speech you will probably forget when you wake up from your hangover tomorrow. You may be surprised I feel this way. Many of you are feeling fearful and apprehensive about your future. You are thinking that, perhaps, your Ateneo diploma will not mean a whole lot in the future in a country with too many problems. And you are probably right. You are thinking that our country is slipping-no, sliding. Again, you may be right. Twenty years ago, we were at par with countries like Thailand,Malaysia, and Singapore. Today, we are left way behind. You know the facts. Twenty years ago, the per capita income of the Filipino was 1,000 US dollars. Today, it's 1,100 dollars. That's a growth of only ten percent in twenty years.
