Reflections of a wounded Tiger

NIPPED ON THE CLAW. Sensing impending ‘danger’ from the rampaging Dylan Ababou, Ateneo rookie Nonoy Baclao opts to foul the cat-quick 6’3” slotman instead of giving him a free lane to the basket.

IT WAS the last two minutes of the ballgame. Cold sweat dripped from UST Tiger Dylan Ababou’s yellow jersey. He looked at the clock and realized that they could be two minutes away from victory or from being dethroned. Then he made a three-pointer that trimmed the lead down to only five points, 65-60. That seemed to have been the lift they badly needed. But no matter how hard Dylan and his teammates tried to close in and keep their back-to-back championship hopes alive, it wasn’t enough. The buzzer had already sounded. Girding for ‘vengeance’ The day before the game, Dylan did his normal routine - go to class and go to basketball practice. But during that day’s practice, the UST Tigers were not just practicing for a normal game—they were practicing for their stepladder semifinals tussle against Season 69 first runner-up, the Ateneo Blue Eagles. It was a “win-or-go-home” situation for both teams. During the practice, Coach Pido Jarencio was his usual tongue-lashing-self. He told his boys to be aggressive and tough because those qualities would be the factors that will determine the next day’s outcome. “We can’t lose tomorrow’s game. And (Ateneo) won’t win against us,” Dylan said in Filipino recalling Coach Pido’s words. Dylan said that Coach Pido wanted them to have that kind of mentality when they meet the Blue Eagles the following day. In their rubbermatch against the Far Eastern University (FEU) Tamaraws last September 17, Coach Pido had combined two sets of defensive strategies. In a normal FEU offense, the Tigers executed a man-to-man defense. But when UST committed a foul, they would switch to a two-three zone defense on the next possession. That kind of defensive set confused the relatively inexperienced Tamaraws that led to numerous FEU turnovers and a win for UST. Coach Pido thought that maybe the coaches of the other teams were trying to “scout” their defensive sets so they tried to use a different one. For the game against the Blue Eagles, the Tigers tried to use a different kind of defensive set. At first, they had executed a man-to-man defense but whenever Ateneo fed the ball to the post, the Tigers would execute a two-three zone defense to contain Ateneo’s big men such as the stocky Ford Arao and the lanky Nonoy Baclao. Dylan said that they had to “be smart and play with heart” for them to win the game. Not only it was the semifinals, but Dylan added that the game was “payback time” for them because during the second round of the eliminations, Ateneo “escaped” thanks to Kirk Long’s bailout fade-away jumper with less than two second left in the contest. Game-day It was game-day. Dylan woke up at 9 a.m. on that rainy Sunday morning. He would normally wake up earlier but Coach Pido adviced them to wake up at that time during game days so they would be fresh come game time. Then, he went to school to meet his teammates before going to the Big Dome. At the bus going to Araneta, the players were just having fun. But Dylan saw that some players were not really having fun. They just laughed with their teammates even though they felt the pressure of the do-or-die game. “Nakita ko sa mata nila na may konting pressure. ‘Yung parang pag ngingiti sila, pilit,” Dylan said. He could see the pressure in their eyes because they also tinkered with the possibility of losing. At the dugout in Araneta, Coach Pido discussed thier game plan. He said that the scoring of Ateneo’s key players should be limited. Dylan said that it was better for those players not to score in double digits. Coach Pido also told his boys to just follow the three P’s: to play with Pride, to play with (heart) “Puso,” and to be (aggressive) “Palaban.” Dylan later told his teammates to just “loosen up” and to “think positive” because if they were too “tight” and pressured, they would be prone to committing a lot of turnovers. The game Capitalizing on the absence of the sweet-shooting Chris Tiu in Ateneo’s starting line-up, the Tigers took the driver’s seat with a 9-2 first-quarter run. The Blue Eagles tried to employ an early press but UST just scorched Ateneo’s defensive ploy with a bushel of fast-break points. The Tigers also controlled the boards, enabling them to finish the quarter with an eight-point lead. The second quarter was a different story. Tiu started to heat up. He scored eight of his 14 points in the first few minutes. The Tigers became hesitant in taking their shots due to Ateneo’s good defense. They also committed a lot of miscues which led to several bungled scoring opportunities. Moments later, the Blue Eagles captured the lead when the seldom-used Michael Baldos sank two of his career-high seven points from the foul line with 46 seconds remaining in the quarter. The Blue Eagles turned their first quarter deficit into a 32-30 halftime lead. Although Dylan scored seven points in the third, he was virtually left on his own as no one among his teammates was able to back him up while Ateneo was thriving on a balanced offensive production from its second stringers like Baclao and Baldos. The Blue Eagles ended the quarter on top, 55-51. The payoff period still belonged to the Blue Eagles, who then padded the lead to 11 points, 65-54. The España-based dribblers tried to stop the bleeding as Dylan waxed hot anew. But the last three-pointer he made was the closest the Tigers could get. The Blue Eagles hung on the lead even as UST had utilized a shooting lineup to chase them. ‘God’s plan’ Dylan had a good feeling about winning the game. Even in the dying seconds when Ateneo was poised to win the game, he felt that they would still be able to snatch the victory with a miracle shot. There was one instance during the fourth quarter when the Tigers trapped Ateneo’s big men on the post. It was the time when the momentum shifted to UST. When Dylan was able to corner Arao, the latter tried to zip a pass to a teammate. Dylan thought that the pass was too short and Japs Cuan would be able to steal the ball away. But the ball instead went to Eric Salamat, who eventually made a three-point play. Dylan thought that it was impossible for Japs not to have recovered the ball because he was already in the passing lane when Arao made the pass. Misfortune even struck Dylan when, as he was about to get the defensive rebound, the ball slipped off his hands and went to Nonoy Baclao who easily scored on a put-back. “It really wasn’t for us. The first thing I thought was that God had a better plan for us,” Dylan said. At home, Dylan had a one-on-one with God. “I trust Him and I don’t blame Him for what happened,” he said. UST rookie sensation Khasim Mirza was a non-factor in the game as he was zero-of-six from the three-point stripe and scored a measly three points—well below his 15-point average. During the first round of eliminations, he was the one responsible for the Tigers’ thrashing of the Blue Eagles, 87-74, as he scored a career-high 25 points. The reason for his sub-par effort was because he had flu during that game, Dylan said. However, he did not blame Khasim nor the latter’s illness for their defeat. Tiger’s thoughts The next day was not a normal school day for Dylan. “I was sad and I thought that this season was a failure. Although we were able to make the Final Four, we weren’t able to achieve a back-to-back (championship),” he said. “All the things we worked hard for last summer were wasted. We’ll think about that for one year and we’ll again prepare for another year,” he added. But Dylan was not that depressed because many people said that “It’s okay. You still had a great game.” Host’s ‘curse’ No host seniors’ basketball team in the history of the Universities Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) has ever been crowned champion, legitimately or otherwise. The Tigers, hosts of the UAAP 70th season, has fulfilled that prophecy once again. And Dylan is starting to believe that the host’s “curse” is true. In 2004, the La Salle Green Archers, who hosted Season 67, nearly broke the curse after bagging the cage title against FEU. But they had to return the championship trophy to the Tamaraws after two of their players were found out to have faked their academic credentials. Last season, the UE Red Warriors were the hosts. They were the pre-season favorites to win the crown because they had a very deep lineup. They had players like Bon Bon Custodio, the 6’3” Mark Borboran, and former Rookie of the Year Marcy Arellano. They were not able to win the championship as the Tigers ousted them in the Final Four despite their twice-to-beat advantage. Preparations As part of their preparations, for Season 71, the Tigers will join the upcoming Philippine Basketball League (PBL) season. In their previous stint in the PBL as UST-Kettle Korn, they were winless in 14 outings. Dylan, however, thinks that a PBL experience would be helpful to them because of the league’s more competitive atmosphere Meanwhile UAAP MVP Jervy Cruz will be donning the national colors in the upcoming Southeast Asian Games in Thailand this December. Anthony Espiritu, Jun Cortez, June Dizon, and Rum Perry Scott will not be in the lineup next season due to graduation. But despite their absence, Dylan thinks they can still win the championship. “They’re a big part of the team but the nucleus is still there,” he said. Dylan realized that their loss somehow had a positive effect on them. “At least, we’ll be able to return next season with a vengeance. It’s in us. We’ll show that we’ll work harder in the off-season during our practices. The fire in us will be more passionate and we’re going to be stronger than ever,” he concluded. Ariane Karlo F.

THE RIGHT PERSON (i love this Inigo)

A nice article for the married, soon to be married, and waiting to be married... Food for thought and in the words of Fr. Pedro Arrupe, SJ:

THE RIGHT PERSON?

During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said, "How do I know if I married the right person?"

I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, "It depends. Is that your husband?" In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?" Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind. Here's the answer.

EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies.

Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love... because it's happening TO YOU. People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet." Think about the imagery of that _expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.

Falling is love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience.

But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry the right person?" And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.

Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, church, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.

But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't "find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it day in and day out. That's why we have the _expression "the labor of love." Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.

Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.

Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable... you can "make" love.

Love in marriage is indeed a "decision"... not just a feeling.

 

Got this from Inigo

On Relationships…

 

* TRUST

 

Trust is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity may result in separation.

 

A female telephone operator received a phone call one day. She answered, "Public Utilities Board." There was silence. She repeated, "PUB." There was still no answer. When she was going to cut off the line, she heard a

lady's voice, "Oh, so this is PUB. Sorry, I got the number from my husband's pocket but I do not know whose number it is."

 

Without mutual trust, just imagine what will happen to the couple if the telephone operator answered with just "hello" instead of "PUB".

 

* NO POINTING FINGERS

 

A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?"

 

The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticize your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you."

 

We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves. If we forgive the others, others will ignore our mistake too.

 

* CREATING PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS?

 

A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and requested "I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a suitable one." The SDU officer said, "Your requirements, please." "Oh, good looking, polite, humorous , sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing and dancing. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home during my leisure hour, if I don't go out. Telling me interesting stories when I need companion for conversation and be silent when I want to rest." The officer listened carefully and replied, "I understand you need television."

 

There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband ,because the blind wife cannot see the faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of the wife. Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and dream of perpetual perfect relationship. Unfortunately, when the excitement of love wears off, they wake up and discover that marriage is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins.

 

* NO OVERPOWERING

 

Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another, or demands too much. People in love tend to think that love will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after marriage. Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character."

 

It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing the spouse character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness. It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations..

 

* RIGHT SPEECH

 

There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other, we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party.

 

A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction

worker." She answered ,"You should appreciate that you married me. Otherwise, he will be the millionaire and not you."

 

Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed.

 

* PERSONAL PERCEPTION

 

Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home, a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey? "Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, "The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?" Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.

 

Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman." The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They

are cruel to you." Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders.

 

It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a narrow bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future.

 

Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear..

 

* BE PATIENT

 

This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.

 

Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, " Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?"

The father went home & committed suicide.

 

Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.

 

People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

Secrets of a Low Maintenance Gal

Much in the same way that a car can be high-maintenance, a significant other can be a lot of work, too. In place of a daily quart of oil, this person might need constant reassurance or all salad dressing "on the side." Being high-maintenance isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if you want to get all the way across the country in the road trip of life, you're going to pick the car that can go a few days without a curling iron. Mixed metaphors aside, the point is that low-maintenance ladies have more fun. Let your inner drama queen go, and land a great guy the laid-back way:

 

1. Stop worrying about your hair

The simpler the style, the faster you'll be able to get out of the house and into some adventures. Grow it out and throw it into a ponytail or cut it super short and let it air dry for maximum freedom.

 

2. Buy some comfortable shoes

The couples that play together stay together. And to a lot of men, a respectable pair of hiking boots or golf shoes is just as alluring as a pair of precarious stilettos.

 

3. Learn to laugh at yourself

Being low-maintenance often means being able to bounce back quickly from life's little faux pas. A gal that can giggle at her own foibles comes across as confident, fun to be around and less likely to fall apart when someone else makes a mistake.

 

4. Take it easy with the special orders

Chances are, the chef might actually know more about food than you. Designing your own entrée every time you enter a restaurant and tasting multiple vintages before settling on a glass of wine isn't impressive, it's annoying.

 

5. Take care of your own self-esteem

Don't leave it to a man to constantly tell you how great you are. Find out on your own by tackling new challenges or learning new skills. Cultivate strong friendships and family relationships so that he never becomes your only cheerleader. You know you're gorgeous.

 

6. Be okay with solitude

Even the tightest couples need — and thrive on — some time apart. A low-maintenance gal is okay with the occasional guys' night out because she can't wait to spend a quiet evening in the tub with a good book.

 

7. Stop making your relationship the main topic of conversation

Sure, every girl wants to know where things are going and how her man is feeling, but bringing up the state of the union every week is like making him go shoe shopping with you on a regular basis.

 

8. Stop asking, "What are you thinking about?"

Chances are, nothing interesting. Let him keep his thoughts to himself. You'll free up your own mind for musings on the finer points of string theory .... or whatever else it is you like to ponder.

Things I learned from Coach Dennis Tan

1.  Accelerate...the faster you run the more calories you burn...
2.  Never ever date a player...he will only ruin your life...
3.  Walang babae lalaki sa football...
4.  Ang babaeng mabilis maglakad...yan ang mga walang balak maglablyp...parang ikaw
5.  ANG BOLA HINDI YAN LILIHIS...KUNG TATAMA SAYO, WAG MO ILAGAN, LABANAN MO     FOOTBALL TO INENG...FOOTBALL
6.  Meron bang sport na di ka magkakainjury?
7.  Wag ka maniwala kay santos-chua...bolero yan...
8.  the more you hate...the more you hate...
9.  Isipin mo na lang na ex mo un bola...
     (coach nman...di ko ata kaya gawin un sa ex ko)
10.  Ang yellow at red card...walang epekto sa gagong player yan.
11. Suarez! Bakit ka nakatitig kay Manglicmot...e P#@ ganyan lang din ginagawa mo sa bola
      kaya di ka makatira e...naaagawan ka tuloy!
12. Ang lablyp darating din yan. Ipaagaw mo lang siya sa iba, kung ikaw type niya sorry sila.

share ko lang to...
13. Coach Tan: Ang mga chickboy...front lang yan, BAKLA TALAGA YAN!
      Ickay: Eh di bakla po pala si santos-chua?
      Inigo: Tang ina mo ickay!
      Coach Tan: Defensive!

Those 29 letters total to 132
There are 10 vowels and 19 consonants in your name.

Your number is: 6

The characteristics of #6 are: Responsibility, protection, nurturing, community, balance, sympathy.

The expression or destiny for #6:
The number 6 Expression provides you a truly outstanding sense of responsibility, love, and balance. The 6 is helpful and ever conscientious, making you quite capable of rectifying and balancing any sort of inharmonious situation. You are a person very much inclined to give help and comfort to those in need. You have a natural penchant for working with the old, the young, the sick, or the underprivileged. Although you may have considerable creative and artistic talents, the chances are that you will devote yourself to an occupation that shows concern for the betterment of the community.

The positive side of the number 6 suggests that you are very loving, friendly, and appreciative of others. You have a depth of understanding that produces much sympathetic, kindness, and generosity. The qualities of the 6 make the finest and most concerned parent and one often deeply involved in domestic activities. Openness and honesty is apparent in your approach to all relationships.

If there is an excess of the number 6 in your makeup, you may exhibit some of the negative traits associated with this number. There may be a tendency for you to be too exacting and demanding of yourself. In this regard, you may at times sacrifice yourself (or your loved ones) for the welfare of others. In some cases, the over zealous 6 has difficulty distinguishing helping from interfering. You may have difficulty expressing your own individuality, because of involvement with responsibilities and causes. Like all with the Expression of the number 6, it's quite likely that you worry much too much.

Word skills may be your thing; speaking, writing, acting, singing. In a positive sense, the 3 energy is friendly, outgoing and always very social.

You have a decidedly upbeat attitude that is rarely discouraged; a good mental and emotional balance.

The 3 Soul Urge gives intuitive insight, thus, very high creative and inspirational tendencies. The truly outstanding trait shown by the 3 Soul Urge is that of self-expression, regardless of the field of endeavor.

On the negative side, you may at times become too easygoing and too optimistic, tending to scatter forces and accomplish very little. Often, the excessive 3 energy produces non-stop talkers. Everyone has faults, but the 3 soul urge doesn't appreciate having these pointed out.

An Inner Dream number of 3 means:
You dream of artistic expression; writing, painting, music. You would seek to more freely express your inner feeling and obtain more enjoyment from life. You also dream of being more popular, likable, and appreciated.

UE boy 2: oo nga eh, nagaaway na sa harap. May nagagalit na scalper

Aun, nagtanung pa ko sa friends ko kung anu mgandang sine...pero in the end, pinili ko ang I've fallen for you.

after the movie, wearing my ateneo jacket, nasalubong ko highschool friend ko na thomasian, "bakit ka naka ateneo, thomasian ka!" sabi ko "sa boyfriend ko to" (huh boyfriend - honestly d ko lam san nanggaling ang boyfriend na un) tapos nasalubong ko ex ko na pharma student pa rin sa uste with his gf.

at nakita niya ko naka ateneo jacket, dedma lang...
