Juh-bee-lay-syen. Finally, after 6 outings, UST has snatched its first win in the 68th season of the UAAP Men’s Basketball. They were pitted against the lowly bulldogs. Jokes have been circulating in the community recently that this battle is the mother of all battles this season. Both teams were winless, both were hungry. UST led to as much as 21 points before half time when NU, led by the underrated Edwin Asoro, orchestrated an explosive comeback in the second half to tie the game and force the decision until overtime. At the end of the extra five minutes, UST barely escaped the bulldogs to get their first win. What these tigers should learn is to play tougher defense. They may be a short team but they can capitalize on their speed. They should believe more in themselves. They don’t get failing marks in their classes when they are absent for practice or for a game, they should deliver. Santo Tomas’ last game for the 1st round is on Sunday and it will be against the undervalued but superb University of the East. Hope springs eternal. I have predicted that UST is this season’s UP(67th season). Come on, guys. Jojo Duncil said it all, “Ayaw ko ng matalo.” Go USTE!!

Jacky’s debut at the Ball Room of the Hotel Rembrandt was a blast. She looked fabulous in her green and yellow dress. Jacky expected more to come but I told her never mind those who did not make it, but feel thankful for those who attended. Jane, Jewel, Francis, Aika, Jenny, Dale, Chartz, Jene, and myself were present and we learned so much about Jacky. According to her relatives, she is a very “kikay” lass yet very responsible. I wanted to dispute that but who am I to contest when those words came from the mouths of the very people who know her best. The highlight of the night was when Jacky talked to her mom who is in Canada via phone-patch. Feeling artista daw sya. Hehe!! But the highlight for the group was when Jenny and Dale performed a song. Todo!! But I have different highlights. There were so many cuties in attendance. But the cutest would have to be Jacky’s younger brother, Igi. Malapit na kaming maging magkapamilya ni lola Jacky. Magiging sister-in-law ko na sya!! Haha!! Happy 18th birthday again, Jacky!!

A guy called me this evening saying that a former schoolmate recommended me to him. He asked me if I were willing to commit to a part-time job with a Php 10,000 salary per month. The job is to help educate middle-aged people about preventive health. We are going to discuss the details tomorrow in Makati. I hope he is a cutie so that it will be easier to decide!! Hehe!! But who gets offered part-time jobs everyday with that salary? Ang dami kayang walang trabaho!!

That was all, folks!! Thanx for being one with the fabulous epal!! God bless us all!!
