The "Revenge" of the EAGLES!!! GO ATENEO!!!

August 9, 2008 -- Today, the Blue Eagles got their revenge from the team who gave them their first loss from this season. The Eagles won their first 2nd round elimination game from the Tamarraws, and still occupy the solo lead with 7-1 (W-L) ranking.

The both teams gave a very impressive game. At the 1st half of the game it was the Tamarraws who lead. FEU threw a few perimeter shots and aggressive drives to the basket that let them dominate the 1st few minutes of the 1st half. They didn't let the Eagles to take over the lead. Yet, the Eagles were striving harder and harder as the time goes. The fouls gave by FEU let the Eagles to be left only by 2 points.It may also give them motivation that they can come back. Until before the 2nd quarter ended, the Blue Eagles tied the the game with only more than 30 seconds left. The first attempt of the Eagles to get the lead was not successful but still they got the offensive rebound. It was only about the last 22 seconds of the 1st half and the ball was in the hands of "The Clutch", Chris Tiu. He sets a play that seems familiar :D. Chris Tiu pass the ball to Jai Reyes and he threw a big 3-pointer just like in their game against the UST Growling Tigers. That was one of the many highlights from the game. It's actually a breath taking one. A very nice play. The both of them
(Chris Tiu and Jai Reyes) should get the credit for that.

When the game enters the 2nd half, it seems that there are new Eagles playing against FEU. All of them were playing great. Even the guys from the bench were offering a very nice perfomance. But it was truly Chris Tiu, Rabeh Al-Hussaini, Ryan Buenafe and Eric Salamat who gave such an exceptional game. In fact in the 4th quarter of the game, Ateneo became more aggressive in their defense and of course also to their offense. Chris Tiu gave a few 3-pointers and a great basket drives same with Eric Salamat. Ryan Buenafe and Rabeh Al-Hussaini also showed a terrific domination under the basket. It was very entertaining. And of course the ATENEO BLUE EAGLES won the game.Still all I can say: There is still one color to celebrate now and that's BLUE!!!

ANIMO ATENEO!!!
ANIMO BLUE EAGLES!!!
ONE BIG FIGHT!!!

Multiply -- A Social Networking Website...

On June 16, 2008 -- I've been a "multiply" user for almost 2 months now. Actually, signing up for this site is really easy. For you to have an account you only need to follow a few steps and then you will have your own "multiply site". Being a "multiply" user is in fact very convenient. It's because you will be constantly updated about what's new about your friends, relatives,classmates, online buddies, and other contacts you have. You will also recieve some online auctions or special offers that you can avail in a very cheap amount. It's actually fun being in this site.

For a few months that I have my multiply account, I found some of my old friends and my old classmates. And now for short period of time I collected about 40 contacts. In fact, some of them..,I really don't know personally but despite of that I realize that you can really find new friends even it is only through online. I also have contacts who are a famous ADMU Basketball player.(players -- who really I adore/UAAP Team -- which I really adore...) I never expected to find some people with same interest and to know (through social networking) people who like or love somethings and some outstanding people who I truly look forward to. I really do hope to find more friends through "multiply's site".

Another good thing in this social networking site is there are less users who are actually only a poser, unlike in other networking sites. As in when you search someone it will give you more than a hundred result. Just like for "Chris Tiu", try to type his name in the search engine of f********* and for sure you'll get more than a hundred list of account under his name. Hmmm, is that sounds familiar. Well, it always happen. Though, we can't really disregard the fact that there are still some posers in this site yet they are very limited.

To make this clear I am not against or trying to give bad impressions to other Social Networking Websites. I just want to give special credit to "MULTIPLY". http://multiply.com/
