Two-year break

Let's write again.
Because if I don't, I might actually go crazy soon.

Dear blog,
You need a revamp. Let me work on that. :)

Dear me,
Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.

Note to self:

Soar high, UP ComBroadSoc!

Every minute I spent as The UP Community Broadcasters' Society's Chief Anchor is a minute well spent and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything else.

I thank our beloved advisers and alumni for all the support and patience, and of course to all our resident members for making every general assembly, every activity, possible.

We also thank all the organizations that we have worked with throughout the year.

Our sincerest gratitude to the College of Development Communication and to University of the Philippines Los Banos as well.



These lovely ladies in the photo with me worked hard for our organization. It's always a pleasure being included in the Executive Committee with all of you. It doesn't feel like we were working all year long because of the laughter and all the good vibes you all bring. Lovelots!

 To our next Executive Committee, two words: Passion. Excellence.

On to our 10th year! Soar high, UP ComBroadSoc!

Straight from a Ginebra fan: Tara Kabarangay, Usap Tayo by Leah Reonal

Tara Kabarangay, Usap Tayo
by Leah Reonal

Kumusta, kabs?
Wala kang magawa, no?
Iniisip mo ung bukas, no?

Ako nga dapt tulog na ko kasi night duty pa mamaya. Ewan wala akong magawa eh.
Di ako makapag-fb kasi puro mga friends kong maka-San Mig nandun.
Di ako makapagbasa ng diyaryo kasi di ko naman magugustuhan makikita ko.

Lint*k pati ba naman Yahoo news?!
Di nga rin ako makapagkape kasi San Mig coffee binili nila, sabi ko yung "yummy" ang bilhin eh.

Nga pala kabs, balita ko may batuhang nangyayari?

Binabato mo daw ng sisi si Tinyente?

Actually, alam mo nung baging salta si Gineral dito sa barangay, mixed emotions ako eh.

Syempre masaya kasi jackpot tayo. Pero parang iba eh, parang di ko siya ganun ka-feel...kasi parang di niya rin feel dito, na-feel mo ba un?

Pero unti-unti, kabs, nabago niya yung tingin ko sa kanya.

Kasabay ng pagsabi niyang, "Nakuha na ni Mark ung loob ko at nakuha ko na rin yung loob niya". Parang ano kasi eh....parang nakuha na niya yung loob ko.

Lalo na nung sinabe niya, "Na-absorb ko na yung Never Say Die spirit ng Ginebra" Lupit nu'n. Feel na feel ko nang kabarangay siya.

Tapos nung na-injure si Mark last year, tanda mo, halos siya yung bumitbit satin pa-Finals.
Tanda mo yung mga crucial wins naten vs. Meralco at TNT? Diba puro assist niya yun?
Tanda mo last Quarterfinals, nangako siya na ibabawi niya tayo kay Abueva at sa Alaska?

Kabs, tinupad niya yun.

Aakalain mo bang sa dami ng nagawa niya para sa team at sa fans eh mahigit isang taon palang pala siyang kabarangay?

Siguro naman kabs, sa dami ng saya na dinala niya sa atin, baka pwede palagpasin mo na 'to.

Ganito nalang pag kaya mo nang mag Pilita Corrales shot, mag 360-degree reverse layup at mag steal gamit yung face mo, sige maiintindihan ko yung paninisi mo.

Sino bang gustong matalo, kabs? Wala naman diba?
Pero yung lungkot at bigat na nararamdaman mo, doble niyan yung nararamdaman ni LA. Pwede ba wag na nating dagdagan?

Kasi alam mo kahit napakaraming fans ng Ginebra, kung ako ang nasa katayuan ni Captain point guard, pakiramdam ko nag-iisa ako.

Ito medyo harsh, ah. Ikaw kasi eh.

Kabs, kung sa ganito hindi mo kayang sumuporta, siguro wag nalang. Dun ka nalang sa TNT kasi championship caliber team na yun. O kaya sa ROS kasi pasok na sila sa Finals. O kaya sa Alaska kasi may bragging rights sila laban sa Ginebra eh dahil sa lechugas na sweep last year
.

Pero kung bumalik ka na sa huwisyo at maisip mong hindi mo kayang mag-cheer sa ibang team other than Ginebra, tumahimik ka sa mga paninisi mo at makihawak kamay ka samin.

Straight from a Ginebra fan: Still an Underdog at Heart by Jane Oliveros

Still an Underdog at Heart 

I was awake at 5 o'clock in the morning thinking about my beloved team. And here I am, close to crying, yet again.

All day long I've been emotional. Been crying all day for some stupid reason. So, when I watched the game, I was extra-emotional. I can't cheer for them like I used to do every game. All I wanted was to watch the damn game.

Shit. My tears, don't fall now please.

I really can't believe how affected I am, when it comes to Ginebra. It's just a team, for pete's sake. How can they control millions of people's emotions when they're just a damn team? Damn great team! Do they care about us? Do they think about us everytime they lose? Do they read all our tweets, though some of those are criticisms?

Talo eh. P*tangina. Why did we lose?  Why did we f*cking lose? We're close to winning god dammit!

Since the start of the series, Ginebra's game was soooooo different from the way they play during the elims. Japeth is not on his usual explosive self. LA is not on his usual 'pointguard minded' self. The team just lost their swag and confidence! I don't know but everytime Ginebra plays against San Mig, the inner underdog feeling comes out. (Powerhouse team na daw kasi tayo.)

I just can't accept that San Mig kept on bullying my team. Of all the teams, why San Mig? This San Mig team that I hated the most. The team that shut down our hopes of entering the finals twice in 2012.  The B-Meg team. God. I thought I forgot about them already, coz I know my team can beat them. But here we go again, they're leading the series, 3-2. Isa na lang aalagwa na. At isang talo na lang natin babagsak na tayo.
They're leading but it's not yet over. No no no no no. F*ck, no. Our backs are against the wall once again.

Which I can proudly say, where Ginebra plays at its finest.

This 'Never Say Die' team has proved countless of times that in this world, nothing's impossible. If you only believe. I chose to believe them.

This is the time na kailangan magtiwala na lang sa isa't isa. Wala na eh, ano magsisisihan pa? Do that after the series.

LA made mistakes, yeah, but remember what he did last season? Nagpapakamatay siya doon sa court. Babawi at babawi yan. Especially in this kind of situation. He's not called 'Showtime Tenorio' for nothing.
Japeth, I know, is due for an explosion. I can feel it. You see, in the dying minutes of the fourth quarter, he was aggressive, he was attacking the basket. May and-1 play pa nga di ba? I hope it helped him bring back his confidence.

This is the time that our team needs us the most. Tayo ring mga fans eh, cheering at its finest ang peg pag ganitong mga sitwasyon. As much as possible, wag ng papagsalitain yung sa kabilang team. From the jumpball pa lang, let us show our team how much we love them, how much we believe in them.
Game 6 and Game 7. Akalain mo yun, dalawang games na lang pala, makakamit na ng team ang objective nila: to enter the finals. Tas another 4 wins na lang, makakamit na ng team ang pangarap nila, actually ang pangarap nating lahat: ang mag-champion ang Ginebra.

Our beloved team.
Our Ginebra.

Nakakapagod. Ang dami ng pasakit na ibinigay sa atin. Pero isang tres lang ni Idol, isang rebound lang ni Idol, isang putback lang, isang slam lang ni Idol, isang panalo lang, nawawala na ang agam-agam. Nawawala ang pagod, nabubuhayan ng pag-asa. Pano pa kapag nag-champion? Worth it lahat ng yon. Yung sakit mapapalitan ng sarap. Yung pagod mapapalitan ng ginhawa.

Kaya to our dearest team, your backs are against the wall, but we're behind your back whatever happens. We're all in this together. Nothing's gonna stop us now. Walang susuko, tuloy ang laban ang peg. Kapag di nyo na kayang lumaban, tingala lang po kayo, makikita nyo yang napakaraming tao, lahat sila naniniwala sa inyo. Lahat sila nagtitiwala at umaasa sa inyo. Sasabayan po namin kayo sa tinatahak nyong landas, landas patungo sa kampeyonato...

Straight from a Ginebra fan: Don't Ever Count Us Out by Leah Reonal

Don't Ever Count Us Out 
by Leah Reonal

She*t. Ano ba naman to. Nakakaasar.

Talo. Panalo. Talo. Panalo. Talo. = 2-3.

Sakit.

Mali ba to expect too much from Ginebra?

Masisisi mo ba ko?

Eh kasi natapos ang eliminations na number 1 tayo.
Eh kasi ang dami naman nating naipanalong close games.
Eh kasi ang ganda ng line up natin eh.

Sabi kasi ng utak ko, tama na obvious naman eh hirap ang Ginebra sa San Mig.

Pero hindi yan kayang tanggapin ng puso ko.

Yun na naman? Puso na naman?
Bakit ba?!?

Mas maraming laban ang naipanalo ng Ginebra gamit yang walang katapusang #PUSO na yan.

Kaya sa lahat ng may puso pa diyan, ito lang masasabi ko:

Kung yung sweep ng Alaska sinikmura nating panoorin. Ultimong nagse-celebrate na sila eh nakatitig ka pa sa tv...

Well... ito pa kaya?

Dahil ako hindi pa ko tapos. Hindi pa ko tapos umasa at sumuporta. Bakit, tapos na ba? Finals na ba ang San Mig? 3-2 pa lang naman sila e.

Ano nga bang sabi sa trivia kanina?

"Most teams who have a 3-2 advantage went on to win the Semis."

This is what I have to say:

Ginebra has overcome more than enough odds in history that other teams can only dream of.

Hindi ko sinasabeng sure na na mananalo sila sa Game 6.

I'm proud of what my Ginebra family has achieved this conference considering, technically, they're a new, fresh team.

Pero hangga't hindi ko pa naririnig ang last buzzer ng 4th quarter ng Game 6, DON'T EVER COUNT US OUT.

Until then, see you in Game 7.

Straight from a Ginebra fan: Dahil Natalo ang Ginebra by Jane Oliveros

Dahil Natalo ang Ginebra
by Jane Oliveros

#*!^$<%+=?!!!!
Bangungot...
Unti-unti na namang bumabalik sa aking isipan...
Ang pangyayari noong isang taon...
Noong Commissioners' Cup...
Noong na-sweep tayo...
Against Alaska... Against Abueva...
Punyeta naalala ko na naman...
Malapit na eh, ganda na ng ratsada...
Kala ko di hadlang ang Alaska...
Akala ko wala ng epekto yung Abueva...
Yung dila-dila, yung ngisi, yung ngiting aso, yung nang-aasar sa fans, yung kinaiinisan ng fans...
Kala ko wala na...
Eh kagabi bumalik na naman eh leche...
Bakit sa Ginebra pa?
Or should I say...
Bakit ngayon pa Ginebra?
Bakit ngayon pa kayo nagkaganito?
Okay lang sana may ganyang Abueva eh...
O kaya okay lang may ganyang malakas na Alaska...
Kasi akala ko kaya nyo na eh...
Kasi akala ko malakas na kayo...
Kasi bang ganda ng nilalaro nyo nung elims...
Mali ata ako...
Sinampal ako ng katotohanan kagabi...
Di pala kayo malakas, joke lang pala yon...
Gusto nyo ba talaga ng ganito?
Yung nahihirapan pa kayo?
Yung namomroblema yung mga taga-suporta nyo?
Ano pang silbi ng paghihirap nyo nung elimination round kung magpapatalo rin pala kayo?
Paasa naman kayo eh...
Yung mga fans ginagawa na lahat...
Ang tagal na o, 2008 pa kayo nakahimas ng malaking trophy...
Kailan nyo ba susuklian yung mga fans nyo?
Minsan mukha na silang tanga, pero kiber lang...
Ako kinumpleto ko yung simbang gabi para sa inyo...
Baka si koya nag-ipon pa para makanuod ng laban nyo...
Yung estudyante hindi nakakapag-concentrate dahil sa inyo, isasantabi muna ang pag-aaral alang-alang sa inyo...
Kayo? Hanggang saan ba kaya nyong gawin?
Gusto nyo 'Do-or-Die' para mapatunayang 'Never Say Die' team kayo?
Wag na, alam naman na namin yan...
Gusto lang namin maiuwi nyo na yang lintek na tropeyo na yan...
Gusto lang namin sa inyo na babagsak yung mga lobo...
Gusto nyo rin ba yun?
Bakit ba parang hirap na hirap kayo?
Bakit ba parang tamad na tamad kayo?
Nasaan na yung hashtag reclaim the throne nyo?
Inip na inip na ko...
I'm sure inip na inip na rin sila...
Wag nyo na kaming pahirapan...
Wag nyo na kaming paasahin...
Kung gusto nyong manalo patunayan nyo...
Hindi yung puro kayo satsat sa twitter...
Bakit ba ako nagkakaganito?
Bakit ba nagagalit yung ibang fans?
Kasi kagaya nga ng sabi ko kay Miss Stephanie: "Kaya ka nagagalit is because you just want what's best for them'.
Mahal namin kayo...
Ayaw naming mahirapan pa kayo...
Ayaw naming magbakasyon kayo ng maaga...
Habang kaming mga fans ay patuloy na nagdadalamhati...
Isang chance na lang...
Sa Sabado malalaman...
Kung hanggang saan ang mararating nyo...
Pakigalingan naman oh...
Ipanalo nyo naman oh...

Please...
