What can happen in a year.
Through experience I have noticed that within a year I can fall in love, I can hate a long time friend, I can be better, I can be worst, I can forget someone, I can be miserable, I cannot stand a day without someone, I can’s, and I cannot’s. Nothing is impossible in this world, and maybe that’s why we’re afraid of all the possibilities.
In two weeks I’ll be a Senior....

5 players.
I have observed and realized this after 3 months of summer training, and after a month of hearing coach Barry’s inspirational food for the brain.
The shooter - The one who is known for her ability to shoot wherever, and whenever. She can drive it in, and she can shoot it from the outside. No ring, no board, just straight in the basket. The one who is usually the crowd favorite, and the one...

A day to remember.
May 24, 2010.
6:00 PM.
I am so happy, and proud of myself. At last! After how many years! My coach complimented me. It is actually my first time. Okay, I just had to post this so that if I back read my posts I will remember that even for once Coach Barry complimented me. HAHA! Babaw. (This post is for memory purposes)

What pushes me?
I am tired, but I still want to run. I am fed up with all my short shots, but I still want to shoot. I am sleepy, but I still want to defend.
There a lot of things that hinders me from training. My mom, my review classes, and my colds. But I don’t care. I find ways, and find time. I want this so much I cannot afford to even be absent. I did once and it killed me. I may sometimes feel...

I’m more than this jersey, I’m more than all these sprints, I’m more than my shots. I’m a basketball player by heart and not by tag — Me
I want to prove something this year. I know I have blogged this for the nth time already, but whatever. I love basketball, and my passion gets stronger every time I play and train. I want to step up, I want to improve, I want to be better, and I want to...

Suddenly.
Suddenly I felt kind of sad.
I was reading this post awhile ago and it came up to me that this is my last year, and I won’t spend it in Gym 2. Life can be really unfair sometimes. I’ve been training, and staying in Gym 2 for almost 90% of my high school life and I cannot imagine someone else sitting on my throne there. (I call it my throne because its my seat, its my place, its my...

“Hey Coach Barry, sorry for all the mistakes awhile ago. I’ll do better next time.” — My text to coach.
Today was productive, but it wasn’t as perfect. Its all good, I am inspired to do better and be better. I am forcing myself to work, and push. I am doing this for myself and for the love of the game. Everyone has their so called passion, and this one is mine. I...

Freshmen > Senior.
I wish I was still an incoming freshmen. I wish I can change everything. I am starting regret stuff, but this is what I wanted before I realized that this just won’t work out. I want to fix my grades, I want to fix June 26, 2008, I want to fix October 4, 2008, I want to fix February 4, 2010, I want to fix February 6, 2010, and February 23, 2010. Some Geometry I guess, and some Scar as well....
