For Carlo:

1. I like that you are open to and eager about learning.
2. Hmmm, I dunno. A rock song I guess because I know that you like rock. I can't think of a specific song because I don't really listen to rock music.
3. Yup, 7:30 a.m. because that is when our class would start. =)
4. Hmmm, "brooding" I think. (You're the "dark" and "silent type" it seems.)
5. Hahaha! I think it is that telephone conversation we had about your "problem." Remember that? =P
6. BLACK
7. I wonder how you have grown and changed over the years. I haven't seen you in almost three years!

The world comes into a standstill every four years for the greatest sport event in history. I'm talking about football (the most beautiful game) and the World Cup 2006 which is going to take place at Germany starting this June! woot! woot! After the successful World Cup 2002 which was hosted by Korea and Japan (a first ever to happen), FIFA officials promised that they're going to bring the sport to a new level (I read that a gold plated ball will be used at the cup finals) . Fans all over the world will surely enjoy this year's greatest sport event. I hope i could at least watch a live match. sigh

Deck, when is your next gig going to happen? I told you, this time I'll make it at your show. And, tell me if Ginga FC's going to have a clinic ok!

Last April, I saw a friend in the newspaper promoting another jeans innovation, the Engineered Jeans, a denim pair designed for flexibility and ease and a two day event that was going to happen at the Fort. This wasn't the first time I saw Dedick in an ad. Deck and Niño, I've seen in some ads and so their group. They both are part of a pinoy-based street basketball, the Flipballaz. It's different this kind of basketball style that they have created. They make these jaw-dropping, amazing moves so easy for them. I remember Niño back in high school showing his moves at the basketball gym to anyone who wishes to challenge him one-one. Grade school, high school and college students would gather around him and his opponent forming a huge crowd. He started this Flipballaz along with Dedick and Decky. It was only when we reached college that they've become well-known. It's amazing what your passion on things you love the most can do. They started out first just playing and having fun on court and now slowly and surely their making waves, capturing the attention of people who has loved the conventional sport of basketball. Well, I haven't forgotten about it Deck what you've told me before about passion, dreams, goals and other stuff. You're living it and kudos to you! Keep it up!

The two day event at the Fort was an exciting experience. It was filled with actoin-packed, fun and challenging activities. I told myself and I promised Deck and Decky that I'll be on their activity. Before, I used to make promises that I would go to their gigs. But, often times break them by not showing up. I was at the event with my cousin on the second day. To join the event, which they called a "camp", you have to register and join an activity. It's either you join the freestyle competition or training (like a boot camp). For the boot camp, experts in each field teach you how to make those freestyle moves and tricks. These experts who mentor camp antendees are young people, most of them at their twenties and some college students, including Dedick and Co. The mentors are chosen to be among the best of the best youths in our country at their own field of interest. As for the competition, well, you get to show your skills in basketball, football or dance and get to win a huge amount of moola! kaching! cash! =) Well, the prize is big for a competition like that. Man, I'm talking about P20,000 for 1st prize! I picked the freestyle football camp, coz I know I'm not that good to join the competition. And besides, I don't like to make mistakes and be laughed at on stage. I later found out that a few joined the competition, which made me realize that I should have at least tried it out. At the camp, I also tried out the dance and wall-climbing. Sadly, I wasn't able to try out the freestyle basketball. There's also this sport (or so it seems like one) which they call zipping. It's like a dance wherein you flung the 'zip' which is a colored string and a ball attached at its end.

We didn't finished the activity cause it was getting late and we have to commute from Taguig to Manila. After watching the competition on football skills, I told Deck that we have to leave. It was fun! I enjoyed it! I learned some tricks, tried a new sport, met nice people and I hope an event like this would happen again.

From a friend

Drenched with every word
I gathered all emotions in my
heart and let it all out with
a loud cry

Silence! Do not feed me in the
world of loneliness
I had enough of it.

Darkness! Do not taunt me
with fear and paranoia.
For I do not need it.

Leave me and
let me find my sanctuary.
It is my hope, my light,
my freedom!

Tonight I sit and stare
up in the stars and wondered
where I should be and what I
should do.

But the world is on me
an I have nothing else to
do and nowhere else to go
I am to stay here in the painful
and lonely realm of life.
