Just listened to the Stars-Mystics live audio broadcast on WNBA Live Access...The Stars made a great run in the fourth. Becky made two awesome three's and scored 11 in the fourth. She tied the game with a three but Beard made a jumpshot to put the Mystics up again by two. It came down to the last 1.9 seconds of the game, Belinda Snell missed a three-point attempt that would've won the game. I didn't see the shot since only the audio was available but the announcer said the shot nearly went in.
Well, it's always a heartache when my team loses. But it was a good run. They came back from twelve down. I'm sure the Stars will get back on track...they're under the .500 mark again (3-4). Freethrow shooting has to improve.
I still love my Stars and I'll catch their next game on July 3 (July 4 here in Manila, Saturday).

Caught My Attention
I was just browsing the net and I came across this picture. I wasn't sure if it was real...apparently it is, Margo Dydek is 7'2" and my favorite player, Becky Hammon, is 5'6"...I just thought this picture was pretty cool...it caught my attention...and it shows how awesome Becky is, boxing out an enormous player...

Just Testing
Just testing if I did the whole twitterfeed thing correctly...
I'm off to watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in a bit. My morning was not as productive as I had hoped in terms of accomplishing my tasks for our mini-store...kinda got hooked online...hehe...
Silver Stars won! Becky scored 26 points...GO STARS! I had to go online to watch the game because Btv didn't broadcast the game. I actually just got to listen to the game because that was the only thing I could do in Live Access (I'm still thankful for Live Access...it's the best!)...Hope I'll get to catch the game against the Mystics on the 3oth (July 1st here in Manila)..
Well, that's about it for now...think I'll leave for Shang already.

The King of Pop
I wasn't online the entire day yesterday so I wasn't able to pay respects to the King of Pop via the internet. But the news of his death was one of the first things I encountered yesterday.
While preparing for my doctor's appointment, I turned the TV on to CNN and saw that he suffered cardiac arrest. I postponed taking a shower for a few minutes and just watched. The TV partially woke my sister up and when she saw the news, she didn't go back to sleep anymore. While taking a shower, I prayed that Michael Jackson would be okay. I was still watching while I was dressing up and that's when I saw that the LA Times and CBS news reported MJ's death, but CNN had not confirmed it yet. I hoped that the LA Times and CBS were wrong. I had to leave before CNN was able to confirm the sad news and it wasn't until I got back home that I actually believed that he was gone.
I'm not a huge Michael Jackson fan, I wasn't born yet when Thriller was released. But growing up, I knew Michael was an icon. I remember my first ever favorite song as a child was Heal the World. If I remember correctly, it was the first song I ever memorized on purpose and I remember the times I'd get all excited when it would play on the radio. I remember calling my mom's attention when the song would play and we would sing the chorus together.
I grew up liking other Michael Jackson songs and I remember becoming fond of his Thriller video because it was so long, I felt like I was watching a movie. When he released You Rock My World in 2001, I remember fuzzing about it a bit because for me it was the first Michael Jackson song that was released in my generation (I was thirteen years old).
Somehow I wish I could've known his music more. I know I can start anytime, but it's just different now that he's gone. May his soul rest in peace. I know he will never be forgotten. May God bless his family.

Damn it.....
I am so damn frustrated right now. I'm so damn tired and I am so damn stressed. I feel like I have to do everything and hell, I am doing everything. That is so freakin' stressful! I am pissed right now. I know I should try and understand, I was like that once......but still, it's just so tiring and I just have to let this out. If only I could scream right now, heck, I will. I want to punch the wall.........I am just so stressed right now!

Cellphone Notes
Some notes I wrote on my phone (reminders, things to do, random thoughts/questions that popped into my head). I'll be deleting them so I wanted to archive them here. Most will only make sense to me, some might not even make sense to me anymore...hehe...
The dates and times may be misleading because I kept moving these notes in my calendar. Some a.m.'s might actually be p.m.'s because my phone does this weird reverse thing when you set the alarm for the note (I mean, I doubt I wrote some of these in the morning).

Write about He didn't let me be alone with j 'cause maybe I couldn't do it yet and about fat and eat.
5:00 pm
Note that after reading the bible with Cha, felt real good, calm, happy. Worked well after.
7:30 pm
Nice answer about what should do: allow God. Nice talk in adoration with kid again.
10:26 am
Write Psalm 46 - God is almighty, mighty and powerful, with Him here there is nothing to fear, we're safe.
12:00 pm
Write blog about being thankful with avoid Glorietta. Thankful day. Pray for all involved and affected.
3:15 pm
Do something then don't know why anymore. Ask all Philo questions. Heidegger. Ordinary questions.
11:00 pm
God answers fast. Psalm 54/55-56 and I feel better now. Thanks Lord.
5:00 pm
How do you philosophize? Feel like I need guidance. How do you know you are going the right way.
9:00 pm
Reflection habit has to be formed. Convenient that even in own, just reflect, but eventually forget.

Luke 4 - temptation, power, humility, might, determined/will.

I realized today in the chapel that God wants me to have faith. Faith is not the reading, praying.

Special moment with God. Way home in taxi...thought of what if died, feel ugly but no more when talked with Him.

Is there a specific reason why I feel down? Cried today. Don't know why. Just feel down, heavy, lonely.
7:49 am
How do improve self-worth, separate it from good grades.
1:34 am
Is better to think about what is making me feel down although that's difficult to pinpoint or just entertain myself?
1:35 am
Life seems pointless. No direction.
1:42 am
Sometimes I feel shallow because I turn to material and artificial things to cheer me up.
7:41 am
I feel down because I don't have a life, like I don't have a center to which I can give myself to.

When we pray, do we have to distinguish who we are talking to?
3:34 pm
God never wants us to suffer right? And He is forgiving and kind? Gentle, not dictatorial.
3:40 pm
Being truly sorry doesn't necessitate making yourself feel bad right? Like you have to feel so heavy.

Immediate answer when "surrendered"? Feel good today.

Going through these as I was typing them was pretty fun. It brought back some memories. I remember most of these notes. Re-reading some of them made me laugh. I was able to answer one question while I was typing it...made me feel kinda stupid asking that question in the first place but I guess I understand my own confusion...hehe...

Just Bummed
I was thinking of blogging the other day but I got pretty lazy. There have been a lot of things on my mind lately...but I'm just not in the mood to talk about them here. This'll just be a quick one.
Basically, I'm just bummed that my team, the Silver Stars, lost their opening game. I kinda forgot about the WNBA season opening today but then when I flipped to Btv, I saw the Chicago Sky-Minnesota Lynx game. I thought Btv would only show one game so I decided to look for the Silver Stars game online. I found it but I had to install the Windows Media Player 11 plug-in first so I did. I still had the TV on and it turned out that Btv was showing the Silver Stars game.
I watched the game. It was going pretty well...Silver Stars led for most of the game (which makes the loss all the more painful)...but then Phoenix eventually caught up and opened up a 9 point lead in the closing minutes of the 4th quarter.
I'm just real bummed...I hate it when my team loses. But I'm sure my team will bounce back...Next game will be on the 13th (14 here in Manila). It's the Silver Stars home opener. They'll unveil their Western Conference Champion banner. I want to see that and I want to see them kick butt.
Just to say it, Becky Hammon is my favorite WNBA player...she's my MVP.
