2008 Malakas at Maganda 2: Day 3 Highlights

Bullets by Dundiduters
(with additional quotable quotes from Tish the Dish, Doc, Kring!)


Seeding day for the boys.

• Complete boys roster except New Nyorker Lawee. Awwww.
• More boys equals a harder time fixing the rotation and less playing time for each person but it also gives us the opportunity of "line subbing" and keeping everybody fresh for the entire game.
• And the boys team needed every person in gutting out its two wins via universal point.
• First game vs Underdogs features a rematch of the Day 1 game which ended in a universal goal by Lawee.
• The game showed again that these two teams are evenly matched as they traded points all the way to the last goal.
• There was a bit of wind which affected play as each goal was scored on a downwind offensive opportunity.
• Last point was called. Czar made a huck to Dondi which was almost intercepted by Ius but the tapped disc stayed afloat in the air and Dondi made a fortunate catch. Dondi to Roy, who caught the disc but was called short of a goal. After his trademark move (hehe), he picked up the disc and two short passes later Warriors score the final goal for the universal point win!
• Second game vs Monster 1, the team we almost beat during the Summer League Pool B semifinals.
• They only have 1 sub. 16 vs 8. Advantage Warriors.
• Monster applied their trademark cup the entire game testing the Warriors patience.
• Warriors proved they have the ability to break the cup as they patiently moved the disc up.
• Short game and movement is improving. But once the endzone is in sight, eveyone moves in and clogs the area. Can't blame people for wanting to score. And sometimes you just have to remind them to "Clear that sh*t!"
• Long game is also on as Mund bailed us out of trouble a couple of times with long accurate hucks to the endzone.
• Warriors jumped to a 3 point lead and appeared poised for a runaway victory. Pero syempre, mas gusto ata natin ng "heart attack play" a.k.a. the universal point.
• Monster scored three quick points to tie the game. Last point was called on the field. Eto na, aatakihin na naman ang mga tao sa kaba ng universal point.
• Knowing that Monster will use the cup, the Warriors fielded in four handlers (Mund, Nana, Dondi and Enteng as popper/handler/hound extraordinaire).
• Patience was tested to the limit. "Gapang" play ensued. Major props to Reymund for resisting the urge to throw his formidable huck. (This is the same as Mundz resisting a bottle of ice cold beer or sisig plus extra rice. Kaya major props talaga!)
• The handlers took their time. Slowly bringing the disc up, sometimes gaining, sometimes losing a few meters. But the important thing is that we have possession and we don't commit the turnover. After countless passes of the handlers and with the help of the poppers, the Warriors finally reached the endzone for the game-winning universal point. (di ko matandaan kung sino, basta panalo!)
• Our prize for winning? A trip to Pool A and a matchup with the number 1 team of the league. Nye, parang parusa instead of reward. hehe.

Because of the alternating games, the boys were able to catch the girls games as well.

• Girls first game vs Flag Footed.
• I think Mina was confused because of the opposing team's American footbal jerseys. Ayun, muntik na i-tackle yung isang babae.
• Nakakalito si Reema and Ivy. Yeeeeessssss! Artistahin!
• Flag Footed girls went hardcore as they made layout after layout after layout....
• Good job Waryoritas short game. Although, the ladies still need a bit more consistency, you are already able to bring down the disc. Konti na lang, but we're getting there.
• Jane has a mean huck. Forcing forehand or forcing backhand? No problem.
• And although the girls only managed a single point, the final score did not show the heart and the hussle of our very fine lady Warriors.
• Second game vs Discpatchadoras (friends of Annie Batumbakal na gabi gabi na lang na nasa Disco).
• Warriors had a lot of missed opportunities near the endzone. Sayang! Pero ok lang yun. Baka excited lang maka-goal, parang ang mga boys.
• From the start, medyo mainit na ang laban. That's when Mother Nature stepped in to cool the players down with rain.
• Ang lamig sa sidelines. Buti na lang may Bacardi Coke.
• The rain seemed to even up the field as the lady Warriors showed their mettle forcing multiple turnovers and scoring two points.
• Girls come up short but they were pumped with their performance. And they should be! The opposing team is composed of experienced players and the Lady Warriors defense prevented them from reaching the point cap while being able to have its second-highest scoring game of the league. Wooohooo!

After the games, the Warriors went to Congo Grille for the usual Lamon fest.

• Free sisig! Two courtesy of the Warriors Team Fund (WTF!!!) and two more courtesy of Bernard, the Congo Grille shift manager. Thanks Bernie! (feeling close)
• Sabaw! Sabaw! Sabaw! Bulalo sabaw refill times three!
• Extra rice please! Lintik na kanin P26 ang isa. Style ata ni Bernie na magbigay ng Sisig para magorder pa ng kanin.
• A group of Disc players (combo of SP and BC) also came to Congo and took the long table beside us. A short pick up game followed. Buti walang nabasag. Up!!!
• A not-so-sober Cherry approached our table (ay baliktad pala yung watch ko) and congratulated the girls for their effort and their improving skills. We're all growing as a team daw. Yeba! Sila rin daw ganun nung start. Inabot sila ng three finals appearance bago sila nagchampion. Hmmmm. Tayo kaya makakailang taon bago man lang makapag finals?
• As a token of our gratitude, we sent one plate of sisig to the other table. Wala na kasing budget mag extra rice.
• Baka may kwento pa sa kabilang side ng table, kayo na bahala. Basta ang alam ko lang si Czar anti-social. Panay ang PSP! hehe.
• Ang kabilang side ng table naka nakaw ng iilang rice from the other side kasi nabitin sa P26 rice. Thank you!!!
• Ang tagal dumating ng waterrrrr!!!!!
  

Who's line is it anyway?

• "Clear that sh*t!!!"
• "Donds, puede ko na ibato?" sabay smile
• "Wag ka titingin sa malayo! Dito mo ibigay!" medyo pasigaw pero hindi naman galit.
• "Go jane! Ibato mo na! Jane! Jane!" tapos si Jane wala sa loob ng field, nandun sa sideline, nagpapahinga
• "I'm in na kaya, I'm in na!" with matching hand movements and actions (Doc gayahin mo nga ulit)
• "......." di namin maintindihan pero she was mouthing something while trying to tackle her clueless foe. hehe
• "May sale sa ATC" (sino ba yung wala sa Congo? hehe)
• "Jog up! JOG UUUUP!" (Sabay nag-score 'yung binabantayan niya. Ahehe. Peace tayo, Mr. Anonymous!)
• "Nagpapanic ako na I didn't have my list. I just realized I'm such a control freak."(di niya kasi hawak ang list niya ng mga confeermed and/or magdadala ng kotse)
  
• "Alam na namin 'yon." (na control freak siya)
  
• "Out of all the teams na nakalaban natin, isa lang 'yung masasabi kong mas maganda sa atin." (Apparently lumabas daw sila sa Maxim before! So...anong laban natin du'n di ba? Haha.)
• "PICK-UP, GIRLS! PICK-UP, GIRLS! Hmmmm... pick-up girls... "
  
• "Wow Pick-up Girls! Hmmmm, pwede hehehehe..."
• FlagFooted Superstar: "So where you guys from?"
  (silent mode...di alam isasagot)
  FlagFooted Superstar: "I mean, what team?"
  "Warriors kame."
  "Lets just say we're accountants."
  

2008 Malakas at Maganda 2: Day 2 Highlights

Part 1 by Tish the Dish

Ultimit Waryurs Women vs. Devil Dogs from the Dirty South

Our first game was against the defending champs, the Devil Dogs (made up of the Devils + Alabang...and with at least three Team Pilipinas players! Anobuuuuzzz). And since they're the defending champs, sila ang napili ng camera crew na i-video. Again, anobuuuzzz. And if that weren't enough, nag-coach pa sa kanila si Derek! ANOBUUUUUZZZZ?!! (Wala kaming coach coz the boys were playing three fields away.:( ) Jacq, ngayon ka pa talaga umabsent di ba? Hehe. Nung magkatabi kami sa sideline (dalawa kaming sumisigaw sa endzone. Hahaha), gusto ko siya sabihan nang "Seryoso ka ba? Nakikita mo naman kung sino kalaban niyo di ba?"

And then napansin ko nung nawala 'yung camera crew, nawala din si Derek. Ang showbiz talaga ng Papa D mo! Pang-showtime talaga. Hahaha.

Final score: 13-1. Quota! Haha. The point was courtesy of Cel...and no, you are not exempted from next week's games. Hehe.


Ultimit Waryurs Women vs. JKK United

We thought we had a fighting chance against this team, made up of Jogadores, Kayumanggi, and K3 ata--based on the Day 1 scores, they were massacred din eh. And when we saw their go-to drills nung day 1 (magpractice ba naman sa harap natin, blocking our view of the boys' game!), parang kaya talaga.

I must say, our short game was really good. Palagi lang nagkakaproblema pagdating sa endzone. Dondi says it's coz sanay tayo sa Urda length, na 3/4 lang nung ACC field. So kung Urda 'yon, ang dami na nating points! Hehe.

Our main problems lang were:

1. The wind. We have to get used to low passes. Ang daming sayang na hinangin na pass.
2. Their hucks. We didn't expect them to have good long passes. So naka-ilang points sila from that.

It was cool though coz Alabang was cheering for us! They said that our movement is good na. I guess we really just have to fix our passes.

Final score: 8-4.

Must give props to....

• The girls' defense! Maganda ang D natin! Ang dami nating blocks (si Jane nakarami), especially sa second game! Lahat ata tayo may block, including first-time tournament player Ayeen! Meron pa ngang unintentional block si Kring. Naglalakad lang naka-block na. Pati Alabang natawa! Haha.
• I'm so proud of our girls coz they really hustled, especially sa second game. Nag-dive ang mga hindi naman nagda-dive dati (hi, Mina and Ena!), at gumaganda na ang cuts (hi, Apple!). You guys were hungrier for the disc this time around. Ahluvet.
• The handlers are more confident now! We just have to work on our throws pag mahangin, at pag nala-line trap.

Part 2 by Crocodile Dundi

• First game versus Pretty Boy and the Gang (PBG) which started with only six players so the UW Mens squad believed they had a chance...until PBG scored the first goal easily.
• The boys were able to remain competitive at the beginning keeping the score close. Two more PBG players arrived and we were reduced to the "quota" game. Quota na tayo! Yehey!
• We have to bring our A game to be able to beat the faster, more cohesive unit of PBG. Yesterday, we..uhm..didn't.
• The Ultimate Warriors are in the running for the Pool B Championship...if PBG moves up to Pool A.
• No worries though about the loss as PBG is certainly the toughest team in the pool. Just showed that the UW Mens still have a lot of room for improvement. And there's no place to move but up. The sky's the langit!
• Second game versus TODA 2 was a little less intense. There was no pressure and the other team was also very spirited.
• We knew we had the upper hand versus this team and we wanted to end the game as quick as possible so that we could cheer on our girls team. However, the wind was starting to pick up and it made it harder to complete offensive opportunities.
• Greg was designated to check and help the girlz. (Nakatulong ba sya? Samin kasi, hindi e. haha. joke. Peace Greg! )
• UW Mens was able to run away with the win but we did not reach the point cap so we were not able to catch the Women's game.
• Third game versus Kayumanggi and the wind was really blowing mightily at this point.
• Kayumanggi's strategy was obvious from the beginning..huck huck huck.
• UW Mens Team was not able to defend the first few long hucks of Kayumanggi as the two teams traded the first few points.
• The team showed patience in bringing down the disc, using the short game as it battled through the field against the strong wind. We also showed we could go for the long hucks as the handlers took advantage when the wind was in our favor..
• After a tight start, the Warriors scored consecutive points to blow the game wide open and prompted the other team to ask for "mercy" and stop the game a few minutes before time cap. (Kayumanggi only had 7 players so they also had a hard time without subs and some of them suffered from cramps already)
• UW Mens rushed to the other end of the fields to cheer on the last play for the UW Womens team versus JKK.

What did we learn:

• Baduy pag sabay ang Mens at Womens game. Booooo! The boys were torn. We wanted to win our games but at the same time we wanted to cheer and support our girls. We want to be water boys and umbrella boys. Yung mga boys sa sideline, malayo ang tingin. Yung game ng girls ang pinapanood. Sana next week hindi na sabay ang games ng boys at girls.
• We are at the mercy of the elements. Ang lakas ng hangin. Ang hirap pumasa. Hindi puede mataas masyado at hindi rin puede ang mahina. Dapat low, bullet passes. Dapat ma-practice maglaro na may hangin. Greg: "Dapat maghanap na tayo ng field na may hanging" Enteng: "Dapat matuto na tayo i-control ang hangin!" Hindi pa yan nakainom masyado. hehe.
• Matigas ang ulo ng mga tao. Scenario 1: "Guys, wag masyado mataas ang mga pasa ha. Mahangin masyado." Tapos three consecutive passes ata na mataas tapos hahabulin ng receiver tapos mataas din ang pasa sa next receiver. Pero in fairness, umabot naman sa goal. Scenario 2: "Swing sa gitna." And you know what happens next. The infamous Urda Gilid play. In fairness ulit, naka-goal naman. Scenario 3: "Cut back!" sabay long ang mga loko! Scenario 4: "Don't clog!" Tatlong itlog sabay sabay nagcut sa gitna. Scenario 5: "Roy, wag mo itaas kamay mo ng ganun. Baka ma-misinterpret kasi na opposing team." Kasalukuyan na lang naming hinihintay na mapaaway kami. It's inevitable. hehe.
• Rookies rock the show! Props to Chris and Jim for coming up big in their first PUA game.

Go girls! Go boys! Go ULTIMIT WARYURS!

2008 Malakas at Maganda 2: Day 1 Highlights

Highlight #1: Bullets from Crocodile Dondi

• Two games each for UW Mens (morning games) and UW Womens (afternoon games). First time Warriors fielded in a Womens Team. Woot-woot!
• Suportahan ta ka! Warriors showed their love and support as the girls woke up early to support the boys and the boys stayed after thair games to support the girls.
• Mens first game vs Underdogs/Jogadores/Wild Boys close fight all the way. Warriors have a new name - Universal Warriors Dancers (for their love of universal points, inspired by the original UMD).
• Universal point ends in familiar fashion - game-winning goal by future New Nyorker Lawrence. Thank you Sonny Boy!
• Men's second game vs Monster highlighted the Warriors improvement, showcasing their patience in the short game as they broke the opposing team's cup consistently earning easy points and jumping to an early big lead that they never relinquished. Final score: 10-5.
• UW Mens gives Sonny Boy a big send-off as the team goes undefeated in the first day of elimination play.
• UW Womens team played first ever PUA league game. Woot-woot! Boys show full suport.
• UW Womens first game vs Slush, a powerhouse team composed of at least 2 Team Pilipinas members and a lot of good players.
• Sarah showed ankle breaking skillz as her defender falls down at least once, everybody helps out in handling and the UW Womens team showed that they can play with the best of the Pool A teams! (talo pa ang UW Mens na na sa Pool B lang. hehe)
• UW Womens did not score but they showed their heart, cutting hard to break free, hussling to chase on defense, falling down to save and catch discs.
• Skky Vodka and Mountain Dew!
• UW Womens second game vs another powerhouse, TODA Womens.
  Good defense by the ladies squad resulted in fastbreaking "gilid" plays only to come up short of the enszone multiple times. Until...Finally, one of the fastbreak runs made up of several quick cuts and short passes continued all the way for the UW Womens first ever goal! UW Womens first goal is the Highlight of the Day! Woot-woot!
• Some members of the UW Mens stormed the field as they celebrated with the girls in what seemed like a championship-winning goal!
• UW Womens lose both games but they still showed the other teams what they're made of and gained a whole lot of experience along the way. Good job ladies!
• Warriors headed to Hotshots after the games. Matagal ang order at matagal din ang suklian.
• Sonny Boy surprises the team with two cakes from Conti's (one with "Thank you Warriors" and the other with "Ultimate Frisbee" written in icing). The Warriors will surely miss the countless defensive stops, hussle plays and game-winning goals. Thank you Lawrence/Law/Lawee/Sonny Boy/Agent 0. Sing: Babalik ka rin...(sabay hagulgol. wahhhh)
• The Warriors discussed Nat Sci stuff e.g., layers of the earth, types of cloud (sarah: "favorite ko cirrus), etc., displayed their Yoga skills (Gladys show us your half-moon), reminisced WTF and previous inuman sessions (1,2,3, Booooooooo!.. sabay smile) and generally had loads of fun while chugging in the burgers, fries and cakes.
• Great day to celebrate friendship! (*tear*) Great day to be a disc adik! Great day to be an Ultimate Warrior! Next week, let's do it all over again.

Highlight#2: A Few Notes from Tish the Dish

For those who missed the games yesterday, the boys won both games. (Woohoo!) The girls lost both. Really badly. Haha. BUT I think we learned a lot from our games. The experience will make us better players! Hello, kalabanin ba naman ang SP at TODA. Ewan ko lang ha.

A few notes for the girls, based on my observations, and the things I heard people say:

* Be confident! It's like dancing, you have to own the step! Own your throws! (Tuloy, mukha raw akong sumasayaw pag nagfe-fake.) Nag-aalangan pa rin ako sa mga bato ko, lalo na pag mahangin, but the only way we're gonna learn is if we keep doing it, right?

* Clear! Andu'n pa rin 'yung sakit natin na nagco-clog up 'yung passing lane. When we cut and don't get the disc, clear kaagad instead of just cutting side to side and clogging up the area. Give others a chance to cut.

* Clear! Part 2. Let's not clog up the dump side din. Sumusunod ang defenders so it gets a bit crowded back there. Mahirap na rin magdump. Normally, pag H (horizontal stack), may isang handler naman who acts as the dump, so the cutters can just stay on their designated sides and cut.

* Clear! Part 3. Let's not clog the end zone...assuming we reach the end zone. Bwahahaha.

*Anticipate! Cutters, pag nakita niyo nang pa-swing sa handler on your side, cut forward na agad. I think this is the reason we have a hard time breaking the cup--parang we wait til the handler gets the disc before cutting. By then, nakapag-set up na ulit ng D 'yung kabilang team.

* Don't panic! We're so inspired by the top teams na sobrang bilis mag-catch and pass na minsan minamadali natin. It's cool if we can pass it forward right away, but sometimes it's just not possible So let's remember that we have 10 counts.:)

* Bawal magkasakit! Cel! Nang dahil sa 'yo, bawal kami ni Sarah magpahinga nang sabay. Syet. Bugbog ang katawan ko ngayon. Yelle and Jomen, we needed your Cherifer-powered height advantage yesterday. Ang tangkad ni Bing from Slush, hassle!

* Have fun! It's great that we're taking it seriously and everything, and that we're picking up lessons along the way. But let's not forget to enjoy ourselves! Wheee!

***

Highlight#3: Some Inspirational Thought from the Kneeling Doctor

I will be the first to say that playing with all men was not that fun, obviously many of our girls have very much contributed to where the team is right now, enough with the boys showcasing there skills, its the girl turn this time...

So Congratulations!!!! Your the ONLY team in PUA (our our team -- me included) that has kept its team as a core, win or lose, we are the same team, no cross over player, no imports, Just plain Warriors (which is becoming a Stable of Good Players). And with no ambition of playing for other or another team (as far as I know, and our intentions are, keeping my finger cross for the future hehehe, or not just yet). --Warriors sa Hat pala labo-labo so dun lang tayo magkakalaban laban -- May SP Hat pala --- wanna play --- ask Mikee and Tish (diba guys kyo ang may SP connection hehehe)

Backtract....( insert sound effects....)

When I saw the Ultimate Warrior last Malakas and Maganda at the start of the year, Malayo na ang narating natin, we celebrated the same way, each and every goal like it was the championship point up until now...
Thanks you din pala for Dondi for inviting me to play for M&M. I will say, I saw the girl yesterday like seeing the team at the start of the year, pardon the word pero RAW talaga, kasama nako dun, Raw na makunat pa hehehe.
Until this time we as one team are still in the process of learning.

Watching the games yesterday was very exciting, you made complete 3 to 4 passes, may it be upwind or with the wind, each time very near the endzone for a point, all are supporting each other. With the effects of the elements (i.e. the melting heat of the sun, wind, grass, etc) you guys were great.

Sana lagi kayong magprapractice ng completo ang line na puro girls, para ika-nga eh magka amoyan kyo.

Report for Game 1
-All of you had fun, which was the First thing I can say that you guy showed, Kudos to you!
-You have played the entire game!!!!!!! Kahit mainit tiniis nyo, kahit negrereklamo kayo kinkaya nyo.
-Your intensity in defense was very good, madami kayong good D, meaning, you can read the pass and know how to anticipate it, keep it up! Solid talaga ang defense natin! Parang Nursery KAMAY, PAA, TUHOD, BALIKAT, ULO yang ang Defensive Mode nyo!
-Di ko naman kayo masisisi (ay naku lalo na ako) kung medyo excited talaga pumasa, lalo na pag libre ang team mates, hangang ngayong di parin ako natututo mag relax hehehe, So RELAX lang tayo lahat hehehe.
>>>Most importanly di tayo nagsisishan, yan ang pinaka maganda trait natin, panalo tayo as a team, talo tayo as a team, pag panalo ang dami nating masasayang kwento, pag talo, kinakalimutan natin nangyari yun... isang magandang halimbawa ng tunay na samahan.
Kaya kung maka error kayo, wag natin isipin na sisihin tayo, ginawa natin yun para sa Team at hindi para sa ating sarili. Kaya pagkatapos ng laro isa lang ang cheer....
ULTIMATE >>>>FRISBEE (dba Sister) ULTIMATE WARRIORS!!!!!

Report On Game 2
-Kung ako ang Diyos at ako ang masusunod, gagawin ko na eto ang first game ng mga girls, kasi naka-score kayo Dito as 1 solid girl team!!! Swabe, napatakbo kami at high fives sa lahat dahil naka score kayo!!!
Kala ng TODA nanalo tayo hehehe (wala naman kami import! nye nye nye!!!)
-mas madami kayo good passes at excellent Defense!!! Keep It Up!!!
-at kung nauna itong game na ito, at di pa gano pagod, bla maka score pa rin kayo more, although madami improvements from game 1, so either way, natuto parin.
-may mga na-observe din kami na players na maganda ang forehand and backhand, pwede pumasa ng long... hmmm, attend kayo ng practice para ma-identify natin yung mga roles ng players at ma-maximize ang use of resources.
-Yung nga lang mainit talaga ang araw, mas maiitim ang kalaban nyo, 2 lang yan, babad sila sa araw the entire week, kayo babad sa lamig ng Aircon ng SGV the whole day.
-Kahit mainit konting lamig ng ulo, madami plays na incidentals ika nga di sinasadya, so just play on, kung di alam ng defender nyo na nasaktan kayo, say it to them (style din yan to intimidate) na sinaktan, nasaktan kayo, para mag-sorry, di naman yan talaga mag-sosorry kung alam nya di nya sinasadya, Okie, Peace tayo!!!

Sana maka attend kayo ng practice para maka laro kayo as girls all team pag pick-up.
Sana pareho parin tayo ng objectives, to have fun, and try winning as one.
Open lahat to learn, to be taught, tulong tulong tayo. (wala pilitan sa ayaw =) Wag mahiya lahat naman tayo halos magkaka kilala na, at libre ang magtanong, sasagotin ni Dondi yan lahat (ehehehe)

Table Tennis Night

We have gone beyond Ultimate Frisbee. The Warriors have been active in other sports such as Wall Climbing, Badminton and recently (oh yeah and three cheers for the first timers, they were good) Table Tennis. Greg the White Dragon proved that he's really a dragowwnnn on the 4-sides of the table. Well, it's part of his genes and DNA to be a good Table Tennis Player. May nalalaman pa siyang excuse na "sa PE lang ako naglalaro", eh nasa bloodstream na niya puro pingpong balls na. What'll be our next sporty activity?? Well Teesya suggested we can have a larong kalye sportsfest. You know, patintero, tumbang-preso, luksong-tinik and piko!! Puwede puwede!!

Jacq vs. Greg aka "China vs. Korea"

Natalo ni China si Korea

Spectators. Si Mina hayop magserve at si Frances first-time lumaro pero nanalo!

Mr. China

Leahloo and Teesya

Boo Yelle Boo!! Working ka jan!! Hehehe peace tayo ah!!!

Mina vs. Greg aka Philippines vs. China

BoomBoom Room Mid-Monsoon Triple Celebration

Why the triple celebration?
1) El Capitan Dondi's Birthday

2) White Dragon Sholin God passed the CFA Level I

3) Rikko Batin's engaged

When I shared with the team that our lanai or "tea room" has been renovated, they insisted on baptizing it, the Ultimate Warriors way, by having a party. They even declared the place as the Boom Boom Room, and made it the team's official party venue. As the modest hostess and golden ticket, I agreed on having the very first BoomBoom Room party. After all, we started back in 2005, at the same place, wherein we drank and partied the night away like there was no tomorrow.

December 2005 - Right after the SGV Sportsfest, we were warming-up to get drunk and wasted

December 2005 - Ayan na, simula na ng isang mahabang gabi!

September 2006 - Golden Ticket's Birthday Celebration

December 2006 - Christmas Party

December 2006 - Taboo!

December 2006 - Laughter at its finest

December 2006 - Bago pa maging Hotseat si Mundz, yung Lays nalang daw muna

December 2006 - Kami nalang ata natira

What happened back in 2007? Oh yeah that's right, it was Whitee Co-Captain Greg's turn to host the party for the Warriors. Thus, it was White Dragon Shaolin God's year.

September 2007 - Urdaneta Open Party

December 2007 - Christmas Party 2007

Hmmm, I just noticed that the party host and hostess are those peeps whose names start with the letter "G" and have been victims of the gang bang... Hahaha!!

But this year, it's the moment of the BoomBoom Room.

Last August 2, well I do not consider it as an excuse to party just because there was no game the next day, but rather there were three reasons to celebrate and it was mentioned at the very first paragraph of this entry. At the same time, it was an avenue for all of us to talk about our past games and our action plans for Monsoon's Days 3 and 4.

Oh yeah, days before the party, I insisted on having a "mature drinking" session because I kinda didn't want the place to be trashed. Hey, back in the coveted 2005 washak party, it was kinda hard to clean-up for a week (especially cleaning up our barf-filled banga and puke-smothered carpet), (the next day after the party) quite difficult to cheer for the Philippine team back in the SEA Games in Manila due to a terrible hangover and be grounded for like a month.

So yeah, at that night, no shots were made.

Food was also great. (Please let me raise my bench here) I cooked two types of pasta: Pinoy pasta and puttanesca. They loved it so much, each of them went back to the lil buffet table for two to three times. Donds and Greg treated the gang 4 boxes of Pizza and Tish brought that oozingly sinful chocolate cake from her fabulous Tita.

Pastariffic!

This cake made us commit the capital sin of gluttony. But I gotta admit, it's effin damn good!

Of course, the party wouldn't be complete without the booze. Most of the stuff came from Sarah (waaahh Smirnoff rocks) and I still had 16 bottles of SMB Light (For Jaguar PO's consumption). Mike made his special vodka concoction.

Looks like it's gonna be a long night heh... But it was kept in their minds to have a mature drinking night... Hehe!

After a hearty dinner, the peeps started to go chill drinking. While the night was young, different activities were done: poker, videoke, entertainment provided by Felix (the dude got acoustic talent and has a cool guitar!) and lotsa kwentuhan sessions.

Jacq, Yelle and White Dragon... Uuuuyyyyy CFA Level I na 'yan!

Si Mike nabusog ayan inantok!

Hussler 'tong si Jacq o! Si Yelle alam na kinukunan ditowww... Hehe!

After their poker game

Rikko Batin will have a missus in the next few months.... Yeehaw!!

Doc's rendition of Frank Sinatra's "My Way"

Kwentuhan and kwelahan sessions... Doc maghohot-oil o!

Happy Berday Donds!

Sige nga Doc, ganyan ba maglagay ng Czarmel sawce?? Hehehe!
