fireflies

http://www.panitikan.com.ph/event/tanghalang-ateneos-presents-fireflies-feb-9-25-2012

Tanghalang Ateneo presents Suzue Toshiro's FIREFLIES, English Translation by David Goodman. Fireflies is a love story of the post-industrial age ("post-industrial" is a synonym for contemporary. The industrial age was the age of machines. The post-industrial is the age of technology as in contemporary Japan. The concerns are pretty much existential or the self.) Three interconnected couples are trapped in emotional alienation. "There must be a hole in our hearts. And in mine, and in the hearts of everyone in the world."

Playdates are February 9-11, 15-18 and 22-25 (7 PM) February 11, 18 and 25 (2 PM) Rizal Mini-Theater, Ateneo De Manila University, Quezon City. Directed by Ricardo Abad and BJ Crisostomo; Set Design by Ohm David; Costumes Design by Lhenvil Paneda; Lighting Design by Jonjon Villareal; Sound Design by Dr. Michiyo Reyes. For tickets and more details, contact 0920-584-7421.

note to self. stop idling. start moving!

where to drink in jupiter?

i drive by jupiter street everyday. it's hard not to get tempted to stop by to any of these places for a nightcap.

1) casa nami
- closest thing to the beach.

2) whistlestop
- open 24 hours. the most reliable bar in makati.

3) no. 36
- my favorite nightcap. one liter beer mug!

4) distillery
- over 20 beer choices. the more the merrier!

5) fiamma
- tugs tugs tugs tugs tugs...


maybe i'll bump into you one of these days! cheers!

golf tips from coach vic

things i should keep in mind!

when hitting
1) keep my arms together at all times.
2) don't grip too tight. a relaxed grip should be fine.
3) hit the ball first before twisting my hips.
4) eyes on the ball. avoid look-up.
5) complete my swing in one motion!
6) pronate!

when putting
1) proper stance. lock my knees and hips.
2) use my left hand. right hand is just for support.
3) don't hit the ball with my wrist. putting is shoulder movement. think "pendulum".
4) short swing. longer follow through.
5) relax. don't be stiff.
6) don't be too excited or in a hurry. perform practice swing at least two times before my shot.

i'm still in search for my first par. hopefully i can achieve it sooner!

http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/video/sports/01/21/12/highlights-azkals-vs-icheon-game

azkals didn't have the complete line up due to club commitments of some players but i think we played pretty well. i was expecting a blow out. small turnout at rizal stadium but i've heard the match was able to raise 2 million. thanks to the sponsors. let's help cdo!

players to watch out - david wolf and boogie magarse. talent and heart are evident.
