"There is after all, only one kind of a fan: he or she who is intensely, sometimes blindly, loyal, hopelessly devoted but always hopeful. Being a fan means being an eternal optimist, and i believe the best fans are those rooting for the not-so-stellar teams, the ones that are consistently inconsistent, who show surprising moments of brilliance amid the drudgery of their games." - Tiffany Limsico

Just where is this all going?

Just because I am really all over the place these past few days, I still haven’t got a real clear idea if Harbour Centre-RP won the tournament they competed in and still qualified for something else that confuses me right now.

(Funny kasi, dalawa ang National Team natin when it comes to basketball. Raar.)

And it’s not that I have anything against imports—they actually make a conference a bit more exciting with their slam dunks and somehow cute faces—but when it comes to the RP team, I reckon they should cut down on imports.

Why?

For one, if you do have imports on your team, how exactly could you really ‘own’ the victory when you know that almost one-third of the team’s score is scored by the import—or imports for that matter?

Besides, imports demand higher pay—and maybe even higher bonuses. (Read Beth Celis article on Nwosu ‘asking’ Harbour Centre owner Mikee Romero a Rolex watch and a replacement for his iPod.) Also, I think imports take away the time that the players would give on the team.

Where I am I heading?

Nothing. Just an early morning basketball binge because from what I heard, the RP team—the pro ones—will be in the Philippines this Sunday.

Yey!

Wish I could be there to watch the damn All-Star games in Baguio. Grr. My tita told me she’d take me to ‘backstage’ (Okay, technically, it’s the dugout.) to meet the players, but my darn summer classes prohibits me of doing so.

Wait a sec.

May 1 is Labor Day, so it gives that it’s a holiday, right? Hmm. More likely than not, our dear ol’ president would make it a long weekend, so… most probably April 30 is a holiday.

I could go to Baguio with that kind of schedule!

Oh golly.

I’m excited.
