Ateneo vs. La Salle
Our second loss for the season. Shucks. I don't feel as bad - no cheating involved. Didn't look as if the La Salle players used dirty tricks. It actually seemed that they wanted it more (oo nga naman, two losses in a row against Ateneo will really hurt their ego's). They played better. The Ateneo heart wasn't enough to close the 31 point lead. Sayang, kung 15 points lang siguro yun, we would've had a chance.
Some observations: We really need to look for a good point guard who can replace LA Tenorio. I don't see it in Chris Tiu. And I definitely don't see it in Escalona. He has been playing for 3 years and he's still not a good point guard. And we need to look for someone who can dominate the paint.
What's weird is that even if we lost, I was so proud to be an Atenean during that game. La Sallians used to laugh at our line "Win or lose, this is the school we choose." But it's true. Win, or lose. The relationship of the gallery and the players is a two-way thing. The players have a responsibility to the gallery. They should play well, or at least try their best to play well. At the same time, the gallery has a responsibility to the players. The gallery should always cheer for the players, whether they win or lose. I actually pity the La Salle players (well, not Cardona and Gaco eheheh) 'cause it looks like they're on a one-way street. The gallery will only cheer for them, or 'cheer loudly with all their hearts' for them when they're winning. This has been mentioned time and again, in different places, by different people, La Sallians, and other non-Ateneans, included. It's a totally different story with Ateneo. During the game (except some parts of the second quarter when people were literally stunned by the one million errors of the Ateneo players), if you don't look at the score, you'll think that it's a tied game. When there's actually a 26 (and at one point it even reached 31) point lead!
(Ehehe I lost my train of thought 'cause someone called me up and I had to discuss some stuff for work. So I'll leave it at that.)

No more Larry... :(
It has been confirmed that Larry Fonacier will not be able to play anymore during the season, because he has ACL and grade 1 MCL tears on his knee. He will undergo an operation on wednesday and it will take 6-8 months for him to recuperate. It's really a sad development, because I've always admired him. First, I'm sad for him, because it's his last season and I'm sure he wanted to play well. Second, I'm sad for the team because he is the best player. But knowing the Ateneo spirit, I'm sure that the players will still give their all in every single game they will play.

Another Ateneo project...
I really love Ateneo. I feel at home whenever I'm there, for whatever reason. It could be mass, a party, a meeting, and even a simple walk or jog.
I was in Ateneo earlier for a meeting with a bunch of Alumni. We're working on the Ateneo Alumni Card. It's not gonna be easy, but it's really fun to work on an Ateneo project. Graduating from college hasn't stopped me from being active in Ateneo activities. There was the World Debate Championships in 1998 and 2 go's at Namfrel (1998 and 2002). And now we have the Ateneo Alumni Card.
The Ateneo Alumni Card Team
I hope it works out. It's pretty hard 'cause everyone has something else going on, so volunteers come and go. If you're interested to help out, please do email me at carambs@hotmail.com and we will be more than willing to welcome you into the group.

Ateneo lost against La Salle. I don't even know the score. All I know is that the game went into overtime, there was a brawl before the end of the regular period, and that Ateneo didn't play well. And there's a chance that Tenorio will be suspended during the second game. Even before the game started, I kept thinking that if we lost today, it's most probably bye-bye Finals for Ateneo. I do believe in the team, but in the semi's, it's not about who's better. It's about who wants it more. I just hope we want it more than La Salle.

Ateneo lost its first game against the UE Red Warriors. That team is just so good. And James Yap plays on a different level. He plays like a pro. You really can't say anything bad against him 'cause he seems like a nice guy. Score was 69-68.
