ATENEO BLUE EAGLES : Champions of UAAP Season 71

Ateneo Blue Eagles won over La Salle Green Archers 62 to 51.

Ateneo Blue Eagles has taken the UAAP Season 71 Seniors Basketball Championship and won 11 points ahead of La Salle Green Archers. The key to the game was defense... La Salle tried to stop towers like Rabeh al-Hussaini in the Championship game held at the Araneta Coliseum but failed since this tank was really unstoppable inside the paint... even if he was not given that much playtime since he played only three minutes in the first half after being assessed two early fouls.

DLSU played a very physical game because they wanted to get this one. With the refs as tight as they were, they should have expected those calls... Pumaren did not accept the 1st Runner up trophy in the ceremonies and opted to say after the game this statement:

"“We were called for 29 fouls and Ateneo 13. Ganu’n ba talaga sila kagaling dumipensa?" Pumaren said.

Is this a classless act? Well from the standard of an onlooker like me it's a big YES.... I was even rooting for La Salle today... but this particular gesture was a little uncalled for. Maierhofer on the other hand was ejected after he incurred a second technical because of an unsportsmanlike gesture at the 1:31 stage of the third quarter. Both teams suffered from tight officiating. La Salle starters Bader Malabes and James Mangahas and Ateneo’s Chris Tiu were forced to ride the bench for most of the game because of early foul trouble.

In the end, Ateneo prevailed and wins this one as they were the stronger team. Now its time for their Championship Bonfire, I hope I get invited so I could bring out my own set of marshmallows and make some smores! ^_^

But next season, I'd still be rooting for my UE Red Warriors! Go Fight Red and White! Pamantasan ng Silangan Talunin ang Kalaban! ^_^

Barack Obama: Is he the right choice?!

Barack Obama and all his pearly whites! ^_^

In the Philippines, its all about oil or food prices... but in the US its the rising cost of health care.
Millions of Americans face doubling of health insurance premiums since 2000 makes all employers grimace in pain... then choose between the hard decision of cutting benefits and hiring fewer workers.

This pushes total employment costs up and wages and benefits down which would be detrimental to most of the US labor force. The result is lost profits and lost wages, in addition to pointless risk, insecurity and a flood of personal bankruptcies. Just look at the last week and what happened to the US Economy... a major recession in their market happened.... what if no studies or safety measures were implemented? Would it cause the world's most powerful nation everything? It did almost! Bush bailed out the major bank who drowned in speculations.. that in my dictionary is not a permanent solution... I read that sustained growth requires successful health-care reform. Barack Obama and John McCain propose to lead the US in opposite directions -- and the Obama direction is far superior IMHO... he plans to resolve these by Learning (identify the best providers, treatments and patient management strategies), Rewarding (not those paid for performing procedures, but those helping patients), Pooling (option of joining large insurance pools to finance growth of small insurance companies), Preventing (by introducing regular screenings and healthy lifestyle information)and Covering (removing the hidden expenses of the uninsured) which can save upto $2,500 so everyone can afford insurance. That in my case says it all. I read McCain's plan in their website as well... and it was not that impressive. I hope he does something about it in America's aging population. Will that ever happen in the Philippines too? I only hear Philhealth and nothing else though... can Arroyo do the same perhaps? I hope so.... Sorry I had to meddle with US Politics... its just my opinion though... then we can ask ourselves if he is the right choice.

They all are charmed with the blogs, where in the majority of its aims are to show the marvels and to do friendship; there are persons who are not interested when we give them a prize and then they help to cut these bows; do we want that they are cut or that they propagate? Then let's try to give more attention to them! So with this prize we must deliver it to 8 bloggers that in turn must make the same thing and put this text.
