acc cup 2010

skep fc still needs a player for the acc cup 2010 this sunday. preferably a defender. we're playing div 3. text me if you're interested.

by the way, we might need two players if i'm still not well by then. i hate being sick.

arsenal-chelsea 10-03-2010

of the big rivalries involving the big 4 teams in england, only the arsenal-chelsea rivalry is one which features two local rivals. so mark your calendars - oct 3, 2010.

i'm still checking if handlebar will be showing the game. if ever, i'll see you there!

game 2 = three-peat

since i'm sick, for the 2nd time in a month, i'm just gonna watch game 2 at home. i better stock up on chips and soda.

good timing huh? i really do need to take care of myself better.

anyway, i think today is the day.

fly high.

song of the week - romeo and juliet

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87cLyBR1JTo

romeo and juliet
the killers (dire straits cover)

A lovestruck Romeo, sings the streets of serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Find a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"

Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"
He's underneath the window, she's singing
Hey, la, my boyfriend's back"
You shouldn't come around here, singing up at people like that
Anyway what you gonna do about it?

Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded in my heart
And I forget, I forget the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was just the same
And I dream your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me, as if I was just another one of your deals?

you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin
Now you just say, "Oh, Romeo, yeah, you know
I used to have a scene with him"

Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
I said, "I love you like the stars above, "I love you till I die"
And there's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

I can't do the talk like the talk on the TV
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you
I Can't do anything except be in love with you

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat, the bad company
And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time

Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
I said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die"
And there's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

A lovestruck Romeo, he sings the streets of serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Find a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
He says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"

nike or adidas?

In line with its recent ‘New Breed, New Game, New Legacy’ basketball campaign, Nike continues to ignite school spirit with the release of their University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) apparel collection. The collection consists of game jackets, jerseys, shorts and t-shirts as showcased during on and off court performances by the Ateneo Blue Eagles and FEU Tamaraws. Worn by the likes of Blue Eagles Forward Nico Salva and Tamaraw Forward Aldrech Ramos, the replica game jerseys boast of a technical burn-out mesh fabric for increased ventilation and aesthetic. This performance-enhancing technology helps reduce the fabric weight to help the athletes drive their game further without weighing them down.

The UAAP apparel collection is now available in select Nike stores for UAAP fans and basketball enthusiasts alike. The jerseys retail for P1,895, shorts P1,895, the jackets for P3,295 and the fan tees at P1,095.

song of the week - animal

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM7Hlg75Mlo

animal
by neon trees

here we go again
i kinda wanna be more then friends
so take it easy on me
i'm afraid you're never satisfied

here we go again,
we're sick like animals we play pretend
you're just a cannibal and i'm afraid i won't get out alive
no i won't sleep tonight

oh oh i want some more
oh oh what are you waiting for
take a bite of my heart tonight

oh oh i want some more
oh oh what are you waiting for, what are you waiting for
take a bite of my heart tonight

here we are again,
i feel the chemicals kicking in
its getting heavy and i want run and hide, i want to run and hide

i do it every time
you're killing me now,
and i won't be denied by you,
the animal inside of you

oh oh i want some more
oh oh what are you waiting for
take a bite of my heart tonight

oh oh i want some more
oh oh what are you waiting for, what are you waiting for
take a bite of my heart tonight

hush hush the world is quiet
hush hush we both can't fight it
its us that made this mess
why can't you understand

oh i won't sleep tonight, i won’t sleep tonight

here we go again (here we go again)

oh oh i want some more
oh oh what are you waiting for
take a bite of my heart tonight

oh oh i want some more
oh oh what are you waiting for, what are you waiting for, what are you waiting

here we go again, oh oh here we go again, oh oh here we go again,
say goodbye to my heart tonight

oh oh i want some more
oh oh what are you waiting for
what are you wait for
say goodbye to my heart tonight


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

extremely addicting song. this would be in my playlist for a long time.

i also suggest you listen to the entire album - habits by the neon trees. good shit!

ramadan movie weekend

the only good thing about being sick on a long weekend is that i can finally catch up on my reading and dvds. three days of being a couch potato is not that bad at all.

some notes on the stuff that i watched over the weekend.

splice - very disturbing but something you should watch. the film is not afraid to make the audience uncomfortable, and is effective by doing so. definitely not you're typical sci fi movie.

last year in marienbad - this french new wave classic (1961) actually reminds me of the inception and also stanley kubrick's the shining. it's a haunting love story that plays on the fallacy of human memory. watch it and let yourself be put into a trance.

the american - don't expect a bourne or a james bond movie. you won't be seeing a lot of explosions, high tech gadgetry, or beautiful cars. what you will see is how good of an actor george clooney is. the film is more of a character study than a spy thriller. movie trailers can really be deceiving. i do highly suggest you guys watch this film though. for some reason, i enjoyed this film more than all of the james bond movies combined.

macgruber - only watch this movie if you don't have any other choice. hmmm, or maybe when your drunk or high.

zodiac - a lot of people find this film boring, and i do understand why. it's a fuckin' two and a half hour epic!!! but if you're patient, you will be rewarded. it's a pretty good detective story. this is a must-see for fans of david fincher.

an education - probably the best film i watched over the weekend. deserving of the oscar nominations.

nip/tuck season 5 - after five seasons, nip/tuck still doesn't bore me. christian troy is still screwed up, and sean is still sean. some things never change.

gossip girl season 2 - although i hate to admit it, i'm a fan of the series. becoz of one word - BLAIR !!!


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
what a weekend. although i was sick, i think i gained a few pounds. damn you mcdo !!! :)

book 13: the english patient

it's hard not to imagine the film when reading this novel by michael ondaatje. nevertheless, i enjoyed the book. it's poetry in prose.

dlsu or adamson?

touch choice.

ateneo just need to win by 3 against feu later today to snatch the #1 spot.

i'd say, let's go for #1.

i hope to see la salle in the semis.

one big fight.

surfing at zambales

if you're planning to surf at pundakit, zambales. here're some recommended resorts

1) megan's beach resort
http://megansbeachresort.com/

2) canoe beach resort
http://www.freewebs.com/canoeresort/main.html

among the two, i like canoe better coz the resort has a pool. it's a little bit more expensive but i think it's worth it.


if you're a beginner and don't have a surfboard, i suggest you head to crystal beach instead (san narciso, zambales). the facilities and accomodations are bad but they have a surfing school. getting a board and an instructor won't be a problem.

http://www.crystalbeach.com.ph/


let's all get stoked! zambales is just 3 hours away!
