Superstition: Losing a tooth in one’s dream

This is one of the most feared superstitions I’ve ever encountered. What wrong would it do if we believe in it? I really don’t know except that it purges fear in me like the effect that tragic plays do.

UPMindanao Football Festival

Yesterday the football festival of the varsity did go well, I think. It was such an honor to wear an armband as a sign of being the captain of the team. It was then that I’ve remembered the famous line in Spiderman “With great power comes great responsibility.”
But hey! I felt so burdened wearing that thing. I thought that I’ve been asked to wear a chain. I felt the need of proving myself. I needed to stand up high and mighty. These didn’t happen though.
Actually, I was the most unlikely captain that a team could have because I remained so silent that one couldn’t hear me squeak. I was saddened by the thought of our teams losing.

Thank God I have my team with me. There were those who helped me realize that I don’t have to pursue feigning courage, rather thye made me realize how I should play with fun.
Self-evaluation:
I’m not a thinking player or maybe I’m just too slow to think while playing
I’m easily discouraged… well all of us are sometimes
I’m a very destructive person ( I always end up tearing all my shoes)
I easily bruise

once I get these things straight I’ll be indestructible!!! hehe

I have many wishes for the team that I dream of being its major sponsor someday…yehey!

Go UP Gooooo!!!!!

Sad

yup,i’m really quite sad because I just got kicked out from contextual-style.com. It was my fault that I hadn’t checked my spammed messages. I feel so bad because I wan’t to have a good reputation as a blogger. I’m really sad  because I lost an opportunity. I feel bad.

Anyhow I’m trying to check new things out. I do hope I’ll be able to withstand this disappointment.(T.T)

GO!!!!GO!!! APRIL GO!!!

basketball tidbits

Dr. James Naismith is known world-wide as the inventor of basketball. He was born in 1861 in Ramsay township, near Almonte, Ontario, Canada. The concept of basketball was born out of his early school days when he played a simple game known as duck-on-a-rock outside his schoolhouse. The game involved attempting to knock a “duck” off the top of a large rock by tossing another rock at it. This is the beginning of a brief history of basketball as we know it.

Naismith served as at the YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA in 1891, and this is where the sport of basketball was born. Naismith was faced with the challenge of finding a sport that was suitable for play inside during the winter for the students. Naismith wanted to create a game of skill that could be played indoors in a relatively small space. The very first game of basketball was played with a soccer ball

and two peach baskets used as goals. The history of basketball started right here.

James Naismith devised a set rules for these early games as follows:

„« The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands.

„« A player cannot run with the ball, but instead the player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it.

„« The ball must be held in or between the hands, not any other body parts.

„« No shouldering, holding, pushing, striking or tripping in any way of an opponent is permitted. The first infringement of this rule by any person shall count as a foul; the second shall disqualify him until the next goal is scored.

„« If either side make three consecutive fouls it shall count as a goal for the opponents (consecutive in these rules means without the opponents in the meantime making a foul of their own).

„« A goal is scored when the ball is thrown from the ground into the basket and stays there. If the ball rests on the edge of the basket and the opponents move the basket, it shall also count as a goal.

„« When the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field and played by the first person touching it.

„« The umpire shall be judge and have the power to disqualify or foul players as required.

„« The referee shall be the judge of the ball and decide when it is in play in bounds, to which side it belongs, and shall keep the time.

„« The time shall be two 15-minute halves with five minutes’ rest between.

„« The side scoring the most goals in that time shall be declared the winners.

Today basketball has grown to become one of the world’s most popular sports, all thanks to Dr Naismith.

the mole superstitions

Love life….

 

I’m so messed up when I come to this topic it’s b’coz I don’t look forward to this side of life. I don’ know why I am currently blocked from love’s path. When will my knight come? I think I will never meet him anymore…

Yesterday, I sat with Itak, my aunt’s kasambahay, when our subject came to moles. I have a teeny weeny mole on my neck, then she said

“kabalo ka pasabot ana kay maghinakug ka sa tawo nga imong higugmaon…Hala ka do.”(Don’t you know that-that means you’ll be possessive of the person you will love…)

She also told me that having a mole on the shoulder part means that that person will carry burdens and problems “Ang sa abaga dapit nagapasabot nga maglukdo ka og kalisud sa kinabuhi…”

Wow I’ve already undergone Lit Trans in CL 185 but I think the vernacular tongue gave me the most terrifying impression coz: I have one in the left shoulder part!

I do know that these superstitions aren’t really factual, but I have doubts…

 

So what awaits me… is yet to unfold in the years that will come eventually

The HAPPYnings

i just happen to get excited with the EMA MTV awards. Ever since I was young I’ve loved music. I don’t have much time though in watching tv because I have studying to attend to but I always have my roommates to tell me about it. Khareen and Aimae know a lot of stuff in music. They even know songs that I am not familiar with. I like them because they are quite unique. Khareen is very proficient in old songs and she likes to listen to those mellow ones which reminds me  of those very long begotten past(‘o’) Aimae on the other hand is updated that she knows all the songs that aren’t even aired yet on the radio,i mean. She does a lot of  singing too. Sometimes I  think she doesn’t have the right tone but she gets away with all the dancing. I love them both for they are my friends.
