In one of my posts, I shared how eager I was in losing pounds. Even shared a list of what I planned to do. But, yeah, just like most New Year's resolutions, it's nothing but 'plan'. Now, my list rather looks like this:
*
*
*
* START hula hoop(ing) again.
*
*
*
*
* INCLUDE vegetables in my diet.
*BIG SIGH* Oh, how tough it is to stay away from FOOD. Especially, I've been cooking a lot lately. Yeah, I do cook...believe it or not. *wink* Plus, there's a big number of people I know who are celebrating their birthdays this month: Richmond, BubbleBum, Keith & Mommy Ona (5th), Uncle Olan (10th), Zeke (11th), Lolo Richard (12th) [ belated happy BiDy!!! ] Pauline (24th), Nanai (25th), JR (26th), Mamai (27th) & Boogie (29th)... lotsmo but these are the only people I can remember... HAPPY BiDy, all Sep Celebrants!!!

...now, back to NCAA series...
Guess what? The San Beda Red Lions advances to the finals and will be facing the JRU Heavy Bombers on Wednesday (24th) at the Araneta Coliseum after yesterdays do-or-die game against the Mapua Cardinals. Final score 60-53.
Twas a roller coaster game for the Lions. Leading in the 1st qtr (22-16); then, took a-fall-header-plunge-spill-tumble with only 6pts against the Cardinals' 17 -- combined scores of Kevin dela Pena, Allan Mangahas and Mazo (28-33); picking up again in the 3rd qtr and successfully snatched the lead back with the help of Gamalinda and Menor's behind attacks (44-41) ... maintained the lead the entire 4th qtr leading them back to the finals. Hooray!
Rogemar (Ogie) Menor truly showed his worth in this game and was named MVP. Am so impressed by his confidence, guts and expertise dealing with rattling sitches. How he can create scores for himself! He's the man! Check his stats.
Although, only Borgie Hermida (aka Mighty Kid) was able to manage a 3pt shot and there's very poor outside shooting from the team, the Lions were able to pull it off with significant efforts from Ogie Menor, rookie Jake Pascual (transferee from the PCU Jrs team shared 13 pts, 13 rbds, 3 assists, 3 stls & 2 blks), David Marcelo (3rbds & 1 assist) and Hermida (14 pts, 5 rbds & 3 assists). Hafta also give credit to the rest'o the Lions... Sam Ekwe (9pts, 13 rbds & 2 blks), Pong Escobal (5pts) and Riego Gamalinda (2pts...also helped spark a running game for the team).
Ogie Menor, the game's MVP, made 17pts, 4rbds and 1 ast.
