blow out the candles,
dust off the knives, we fight
say a prayer for us,
they call us The Forgotten
we'll cross all their lines
we'll be the thorn in their side
a hail of bullets
we stand tall, stand tall

fly black hearts
into the sky
we're never meant to fall
and we'll touch all the lost stars

we're ghosts so they say
just burn their truths to the ground
we're marching on and on
we're not ones to run away
so we hold hands
and watch the setting of their sun
break the silence
diamond shotgun
from the top of our lungs
no time to waste
we're gonna shout it out
we're gonna shout it out

fly black hearts
into the sky
we're never meant to fall
and we'll touch all the lost
start to see, start to feel
fly black hearts
into the sky
we're never meant to fall
and we'll touch all the lost stars

LOCK AND LOAD
BABY LET'S GO!

Tiu Shirt

I am randomly checking facebook when I found this.

The fan girl in me is smiling while saying, "I am getting one of these."

I am very interested because, just so you know I am currently experiencing #iamchristiufan syndrome. The shirts are special because of Chris Tiu's autograph including his jersey number. Especially, 17. Aaaaaw.

I am the first bidder for most of the shirts. I check Twitter once in a while to make sure I won't be outbid. I did't stop 'til I get one. And yey, I won! ☺ I communicate with W.E. Garage after the auction regarding the instructions of claiming the shirt.

Found the package in my drawer. ☺ Never mind the pending folder. Haha.

I received an email on Monday, settle the payment on Tuesday, wait for Wednesday to pass by, expect the shirt on Thursday, received the surprise on morning of Friday. Just in time for PBA Draft. Go Chris! ☺

Bloopers: I actually thought that the proceeds will be for saving white elephants, literally the animal.It was actually for the benefit of PAWS, courtesy of W.E. Garage and Chris Tiu.

PBA Rookie Draft 2012

Warning: Don't expect for sports enthusiast/basketball critique post. I am sharing my PBA Rookie Draft 2012 experience yesterday in Robinson's Midtown Manila. Forgive my fan girl post, but... I really adore Chris Tiu.

1. That moment when the Commissioner called the 6th Draft Pick for Ginebra: Chris.......... *Fans screaming* ......Ellis. Mr. Commissioner repeat his announcement, Chris Ellis. I was actually expecting Tiu to be called, because I am Ginebra fan back in grade school. Oh well.

2. The very reason why I decided to watch the PBA Rookie Draft live is to support Chris Tiu. I am very glad that he is happy with Rain or Shine Elastopainters. Welcome to PBA, Chris ElasTIU painter.

The supporter of the fan girl. Thanks Mama and Papa!

Mom with Pau Gasol , nope, Alex Mallari, because we weren't able to have a photo with Chris. Blurred din, fail.

3. When Mama, Papa, and brother join me in my fangirling. When Papa finds the perfect spot to watch the show, we are on left side near the stage and when he teases me everytime they mention Chris. When Mama is always at my back, holding my hands when we follow Chris for picture taking. Unfortunately, we haven't got one. When brother, gives trivia on PBA stars and hopefuls. Happy family bonding. I am actually expecting to come alone, but I am very lucky to have my family, full force, and supporting me for the love of Tiu.

4. We are all set to go home, and I already moved on for not being able to have a photo with Chris. But as we head to the exit, there's something going on in Friday's and looks like destiny let us meet again, Chris is still there. I struggle again to have a photo, but still failed. However, I'm very happy pa din. And I saw Clarisse Ong, pretty girl.

5. Siblings love. 

6. Quoted...

Jerry Tiu: We were worried na baka masaktan siya, even when he was playing in international competitions, nasasaktan siya palagi. Lagi kong nakikita na naglalagay siya ng ice sa katawan. As parents, you don’t want to see that on your son. Mas nasasaktan kami kapag nakikita namin siyang nasasaktan.

Beau Belga: Ako ang bahala sa kanya

Coach Yeng Guiao:  Let’s face it. With his looks he adds marketing value to the team. Ayoko naman na ako lang ang pogi sa Rain or Shine

Coach Yeng Guiao: After the draft, people are not talking about No. 1 or No. 2. People are talking about Chris Tiu.

7. When Mama told me that she really likes Chris for me. Ay sorry, feeling ko lang yun. Haha. When Mama told me that Chris looks very mabait.

8. I am very happy also for the Adamson Boys. Lester Alvarez for Barako Bull, Janus Lozada for Meralco Bolts, Jerick Canada for Brgy. Ginebra, Jan Colina for Global Port. School pride, Falcon let's go. I was so touched when Canada's mom moved with tears of joy when his name was called.

9. I wonder what will be Chris Tiu's jersey number. :)

Poem 105: Love I won't Deny

The moment when teenage love seems to be real;

i met You in a dance party

yOu approach me sweetly, sincerely

yoUr hands on My waist

my hands on your shoUlder.

we talk under the night sky

Silently, lovely, softly

as the music plays slowly

you are close to me.

we see each oTher again

we had random talks and laughter

But things didn't go our way

wE gone separate the next day.

you love Me first

i love You then

but Our feelings didN't mEet

on the riGht time, Right placE.

you moved on, i was left

hAnging with question what happened

when love That is supposed to grow

eventualLy just ended.

i wasn't mad even you brOke my heart

still you made me happy loVe

the short time i had you in my life

the lovE life i won't deny.

On Basketball

I ain't your die hard basketball fan girl. However, I have some basketball related stories that made me appreciate the ball game. Just in time for PBA Draft 2012.

I used to play in girls basketball league for our high school intramurals. I remember scoring three consecutive times but able to shoot the second point in other team's basket. Fail moment. Haha.

Our family were Ginebra team fanatic in PBA when I was in grade school. I remember cheering in front of the tv while watching Marlou Aquino, Vince Hizon, Bal David, Dudut Jaworski, and Robert Jaworski.

One of the most unforgettable college moment must be our participation in UAAP. You'll really brought the UAAP fever 'til you graduate. Thanks to P.E.class for letting us experience our one of the first school pride moment. Araneta has also become venue for batch mate's reunion when decided to watch the basketball game live. I really wish that Adamson will make it again to the Final Four. I am crossing my fingers and of course pray. But then, the other team is doing the same. So, let's see what happen. Never mind the previous sentences. Go AdU, for Season 76. Hehe. Still a proud Adamsonian, no matter what. Falcon, let's go! :)

Who can forget Zac Efron in High School Musical. Not me, of course. Troy Bolton, the nice, popular, basketball varsity guy that is love by many. Speaking of which, Penshoppe is selling ZEfron's Varsity jacket. And oh, he is so coming to the Philippines and I am freaking excited.

I really don't know who my first love is. I'm too confuse if what I felt for him is love, if yes, then he is. I notice him in a basketball league in our subdivision. He looks good and plays basketball well. he is a star player every summer sports fest and I adore him for that. Must be summer love, huh. I really think that a boy should know how to play basketball. I just wanted it to be always associated- man and basketball.

My two favorite boys (dad and brother) are basketball fanatic. I hope that my next favorite boy (my soon to be significant other) enjoys and knows how to play basketball as well.

The very reason why I am writing this is because I wanted to tell my well wishes to Chris as he welcomes another phase in his career. I'm one of the happiest when I found out that Chris has submit his application for PBA Draft. PBA is the country's most popular league and I am really excited to see Chris back in hard court. This one's big and I hope Chris will enjoy this whole new experience. I read a kinda blind item, inspiring article in the broadsheet and I can never think of any but Chris.

Catch the PBA Draft on August 19, Sunday in Robinsons Midtown Ermita, Manila. Oh and if you're coming, there's Happy Lemon branch there too. Must try.
