"...uh well yeah, i'm sad, but at the same time i'm really happy that something could make me feel this sad. It's like...it makes me feel alive you know? It makes me feel human. The  only way i can feel this sad now is i felt something really good before. So i have to take the bad with the good...I guess what i'm feeling is like a beautiful sadness."

...Lines from Butters, a character in South Park. As far as i can remember I was able to watch this episode. If i'm not mistaken this is  where Butters' heart was broken by a hooker in Raisins. 

Akalain mo may nasasabi palang matino ang South Park! ;p I never thought na may sense pala ang sinabi ni Butters until natanggap ko ang nonstop na flooding quotes (courtesy of unlimited texting).

Weird way of constructing sentences but still, its meaning is great.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.  Your playing small does not serve the world.  There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.  We were all meant to shine, as children do.  It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

...lines from the 2005 film Coach Carter. I know it's a bit old but hell it's a movie i'm willing to watch over and over. A very inspirational movie, along with a remarkable performance from Samuel L. Jackson.

These lines were actually from the word of a famous man (which i have no idea who he is...)but the point is...these are very inspirational words that is worth to remember, especially to those who lack confidence and trust in their ownselves.

We were all meant to shine...maybe not today, nor yesterday...But we must not be impatient and be hopeful that there is this tomorrow that waits for us to shine more than we can imagine. When that they comes...don't hesitate, grab it, cherish it, and share it.

Few weeks have passed since the biggest trade in NBA history that brought Superstar Kevin Garnett to Boston Garden, wherein 7 players were needed to acquire the Big Ticket but ngayon lang ako sinipag gumawa ng comments about it.

As a fan of The Big Ticket, I think it is the best move for him to move anywhere in the east because looking at the Minnesota's lineup before the trade there will be no room for The Big Ticket to grow in there, and looking at the current growth of the west teams there'd be no more room for KG and the wolves. After 10 yrs.+ i think it is his time to mature and start looking for rings.

But in my point of view for the team, this might be the most stupid? Or... maybe the smartest move the Celtics have made for the past few years. I really don't know, since I’m not much of a fan of the Celtics especially the fact that i don't like their green jerseys (the only green jersey that I like maybe the DLSU's... Animo La Salle! hehe!). So i really have no idea what the Celtics are made of except for Paul Pierce and now former Celtics Jefferson and Green.

It is a smart move in the part of the Celtics because a fact remains that compared to the West teams, Eastern teams are very weak wherein it is likely dominated by only 2 teams (Detroit & Cleveland)  and landing KG in the team might land them once again in the playoff picture. It is hard to find a player in the east that can guard Garnett. Before the KG trade, they also acquired All-Star Ray Allen (who is one of the deadliest shooter in the history of the game) who is a great fit for the team since he will be along side with Paul Pierce who is arguably one of the best backcourt duo in the league. Now with Garnett in the roster (a versatile forward who has a great inside and outside game) has a great probability of opening up spaces for the shooters of the like of Pierce & Allen will likely shake any teams’ defense.

It might be the most stupid because giving up 5 of your active roster and 2 future draft picks might not be good for your team since basketball is a team sport, and when you say team it requires more than one player. If you think about it, will this KG trade help the team in the long run? He might be one of the healthiest players in the league but it takes time to build confidence and teamwork in a team. Looking at the roster.

...it may not be a very deep team for a championship calibur team, they lack some experienced players. They have few role players that will come from the bench like Rondo and Sakuragi (Scalabrine) etc. good thing they signed Pollard & House who will give defense, scoring and hair style from the bench BUT they must add up few veteran players have lots of experience & the one who hungers for championship rings (Chris Webber, PJ Brown, etc. ). This players are the ones that a championship team must have.

Pending transaction for the Celtics right now is for Danny Ainge to get Reggie Miller out of retirement and play for the Celtics who may have a few fuel left for a championship run and give them scoring from the bench.

..Too bad Garnett can't retain his #21 jersey.

first week of classes is over...and thank God i survived..hehe..cause now...at least i have someone to talk to..unlike before, it really feels like i'm an outcast or something..i don't know.. especially when my class is with the freshmen..damn, it is soo dull..its as if they don't know each other and you can really sense that they're still juvenile with the way they're thinking and the way they act..so senseless?hehe..not only that..i think that the worst part is when they talk to me..they are calling me kuya! oh shit! one thing i hate..its being old..it's a nightmare for any person.i oughta kill them for calling me kuya!haha! another thing that i hate being with an irreg is being with other people who are so happy-go-lucky ung nasobrahan na sa pagiging happy-go lucky...the type of persons which has no plans of their future or what so ever..simple analogy and they can't even answer...crappy! it's so contagious...so its best to stay away from them..i don't wanna end up like that! sometimes u just have to grow up! make something out of it...as quoted from a song..."Life's a bitch and then you die!"

One thing that is certain in this world is...regrets can really last a lifetime...(so so true) if ever that you have a chance to take what you want...just grab it! grab that opportunity or else face the torment of regret...Sometimes it's better that you shouldn't think twice when making some decisions...you should really trust your instincts cause maybe that's really the best for you...making such decisions might lead you to your dreams...who knows?

This is so true - -

"Just because my eyes have no tears, doesn't mean that the heart doesn't cry and just because some come out strong doesn't mean there's nothing wrong. It's better to pretend that your happy so you don't have to explain yourself to people who will never understand. Smiling has always been easier than explaining the reason behind being sad..."

One of the hardest things to do in this world is keeping your emotions deep inside . . whether it is on love, anger, loneliness or anything else . . it's really hard . . beacuse when you kept all these feelings inside . . there are lots of things to pay for . . frustration will get in your head . . the feeling of disappointment and all .  . for example in love, if you really love a person . . tell her, show it! make her feel that the love is there . . because once the person didn't felt that love . . maybe there wouldn't be any 2nd chance for you to prove it . . you just gave away of the things you ever wanted . . another thing is when you're mad . . you just can't keep it all inside . . keeping it all inside may haunt you in many ways . . there is no feeling of contentment and it may lead to your own personal loneliness . . because once you've kept it all inside . . things will definitely be worse . . because our emotions are connected to each other . . where in if you lack these you will also lack that . . it's like a ticking time bomb . . so what's the best thing to do? let it all out! be free! be outspoken . . be emotional if you need to . . cry if necessary . . and etc . . find this person that you can rely on . . there's your family & friends, tell it to them . . it doesn't hurt to be true . . just smile, think positive, be happy! for real . .

Reality Check Please . .

be who you are . .

keep it real . .

I DON’T WANT TO BE

(Gavin DeGraw)

I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anything other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from . .

. . being single is a choice that only a few people chose . . some may say that being one is so bitter and boring . . but i think it isn't . . it maybe boring in the way that you're not watching movies with you're S.O, go out and have a lunch with her . . etc . . but true happiness lies within thyself . . it really depends on the person . . just like me . . i'm not concerned on anything else but myself, the persons whom i love and care for . . just as long as i'm happy and satisfied on what i have right now . . i don't give a damn if i'm single . . besides, if there's no person that inspires me right now . . let it be . . i'd rather be an inspiration for others . . inspire them to be strong & that life is great . . it's not love that make you who you are right now . . love can wait . . right now . . there are some things that you should be focusing on . . love is just in the air . . so love itself will come to you . . if not now . . maybe tomorrow . . the day after tomorrow . . and so on and so on . . you have all the time for that . . for real . . also, it's good to be single beacuse you can mingle! \m/

Finding a true friend is a one big journey . . where in there are lots of possible outcome . . you wouldn't know if you walked on the right path or it will just lead you nowhere . . i think that's just the way it is . . it will really depend on someone's thoughts, decision . . but what is a true friend ba talaga? is this the one who never fails to remember one's birthday? or is it the one who is always there when there's a gimik, outing or whatever ? . . or is it the one who never forget to compliment you on your clothes, gadgets, etc . . some may think that a true friend is measured through these qualities . . but frankly , i think it's not enough to call that person a true friend . . because for someone to be called a true friend . . you must always put in mind the first word . . "true"  . . being true is not always easy . . because not all people will accept the real you . . as they say each person have their own differences . and . . not all persons are keeping it real . . some are just a big 'ol backstabbing bastards! ( haha ! ) or simply they don't care about anyone else but themselves . . it may seem that you have lots of company . . walking 'round the streets in groups . . going out together . . having a good time . . etc . . but just when things aren't going well for you . . you'll see, that very few people will be by your side to comfort and carry your burdens with you . . some will leave you just like that! Reality check . . these things are very common nowadays . . face the fact that one way or another situations like this will really happen to you . . all you can do is just look for the right persons to trust to respect . . it is sooo better to be safe than sorry . . cause it’s so disappointing to give your trust to a person that’s not even worth it . . that’s bulllshit . . just keep it real . . for real . .
