merkz: sis! james's on the phone!
me: OK! gimme the phone!
[james, like my brother said, is my cousin. we're both 12 years of age. but he's just an incoming year six student. unlike me, who is an incoming sophomore.]
me: hey james! whaddup?
james: gene, you gotta believe this! i was watching "pilipinas, game k n b [philippines, are you game]?" and the first question in the "atras-abante [backward-forward]" question was...
"which team was shaquille o'neal traded?"
and then, while the host was giving the choices, one contestant said...
"GINEBRA!"
me: haha! how dumb! what choices?
[note people: ginebra (pronounced hee-ne-bra) is a PBA (the philippine counterpart of the NBA) team named after a brand of beer.]
james: dallas mavs, s.a. spurs, phoenix suns [duhh!]
me: did someone answer it correctly?
james: yeah! but it's hilarious! shaq playing in the PBA!
merkz: ginebra! ginebra! ginebra!
and the shocking thing was...
grandma: what? shaquille is still active in the NBA, right?
cool. my grandma told something about basketball. and we were like...
siblings: yeah grandma... COOL!
and after that, we did the usuals. grandma sleeping, me soundtripping while reading stuff, merkz humming while drinking his usual choco milk.
haha. :]

going back to the point.
well. it's true. it's over fir the suns. they're eliminated. after a very tight game. they were actually leading in the fourth quarter when all things became... different.
timeout frenzies. fouls. turnovers. misses. and there came the time that the spurs were leading. and the rest... was
why does it have to be like this? the spurs, i mean the sterns, beating the suns? like, come on, DOES THE NBA ACTUALLY PAY THE SPURS JUST TO CHEAT AND BEAT THE SUNS?
but what can we do? it's over. it's all over. it's done. they won. we lost. they're starting to open up bottles of champagne in delight. we're leaving texas with inverted smiley faces.
let's just wish the suns would win next year. it's not over.
REMEMBER THAT,
STERNS!

the suns won! alright!
i really don't wanna say this... but... THANKS A LOT DIAW!!! AND BELL!!!

it's just so damn stupid. THEY'RE so damn stupid. if they just didn't change their starting lineup. if they have been defensive just on that ONE game. they might have win.
but who's to blame? is steve kerr to blame, for trading marion for shaq? is mike d'antoni to blame, for not training the player too well to prepare for the damned game? are the players to blame, for not giving their best to beat the spurs? damn.
or are the SPURS to blame, for being so damn good and so damn sensitive that even a single 'unintentional' foul would turn them into active volcanoes?
it's just so... so... dammit i can't even finish my own sentence. damn.
let's just hope the suns would win game 4. or else... damn.

i did not eat my breakfast yet. i turned on the tv, and the rest is history.
just kidding.
the suns lost. 96-102. damn. it was a great game, according to my cousin, who is a spurs fan. yeah, i agree. but it's unfair! damn.
well, from the start i know that the suns will lose. why?
- they are wearing the alternate jerseys. what's wrong with that? i observed that every time they wear those, they lose. but not every time.
- as long as diaw is in their roster, they will never have a championship title. well, that's just my opinion.
- it's just some gut feeling. that's all.
"... and the frenchand i was like, "f***! crap?!? is that what they said? or did i just forgot to clean my ears?!?"crap, boris diaw."
and i found myself slapping and shaking my butt, laughing like i was a drunk bitch.
and the rest... is history. now that's final.

my brother and i battled in a seemingly easy game of nba live 08. he picked mavs, i picked suns. duhh.
and it was all a matter of bombing 3s. too good to be true.
what score? 115-120. who won? mavs.
what a coincidence. the mavs also won against the suns on the same day. but not the exact score as what we had. wahaha.
i wonder... why do tabloid publishers ALWAYS make some nonsense news as headlines in the third page? you know, like...
"BATANG BABAE, GINAHASA NG SARILING TIYUHIN (YOUNG GIRL RAPED BY HER OWN UNCLE)!"
was printed in all caps, in a big font, while the more important news, such as...
"700 PAMILYA, NASUNUGAN NG BAHAY (FIRE LEFT 700 FAMILIES NOTHING)."
are found at the bottom of the page. how stupid.
that's all for today. haha. let me post again tomorrow. or the next day. or the next day. or the next day. or the...

haha. going back to the subject line.
i use this computer of mine almost everyday. it's like it became part of my routine. haha. updating my friendster, checking nba scores, looking at pics of bell [oops.], soundtripping... name it. i do it. :]
that's just all for now. i'll post again tomorrow. godspeed. :]
