Gold Medal Matches Today

The US Senior Men's Basketball Team LOST to Argentina. Manu Ginobili showed them the way down. wachaaa!!! What can I say? I think they deserve it, what with their gargantuan egos marching around as if they own the place. Iverson and his cohorts fell to the mighty Argentines 81-89! Go Ginobili!!!

the women's medal matches are tonight (philippine time). i'm torn about how i will be able to follow it. damn stupid local tv. damn stupid nbn. they show too much stupid sports on air. last time i checked it was still tae kwon do airing although i have no idea if we were still on the competition. they just prolly packed their bags right after the first preliminary matches. don't get me wrong, we got incredible athletes, we just don't have the funds and whatever it is we need to train champions. lalo na when they give money to the athlete when he/she already wins. gwakanang...kung kelan tapos na dun magbibigay ng pera.

fine fine. i might grumble all i want but this still wouldn't change the state of financial thingamajiggy in this country. too many corrupt officials stealing the peoples' money. too many of those and people still wonder why we're not advancing. politics is not my strong suit and i'll. stop. right. now. baka mabadtrip lang ako. wachaa!

and oh, i hate it when they show reruns of other sports when they could have shown the women's games! no women's soccer gold medal match, no women's basketball ball games yet. God, how i hate NBN.

Gold Medal Match: USA-Aus

wacha! it's Lauren Jackson (Seattle Storm) versus Lisa Leslie (LA Sporks) once again as they Australian Opals and the USA Senior Women's Team battle it out tonight (local time) for the GOLD! I don't know who i'm cheering for. Team USA doesn't use birdy at all during the last game. might be because Dawny (Dawn Staley) is still there and well, she's gotta be good. Swin Cash was benched too and Ruth Riley also. Now I think I might wanna cheer for the Aussies on this one coz I know LJ would definitely play more than 30 minutes out there.

My gosh, i can't believe i actually used La Diva's true name above. wachaaa. i really wonder if she's gonna wear HAIR EXTENSIONS tonight like in Sydney four years ago. don't ask me why. i never did get it for the life of me. there was this inciden though, that LJ (apparently just 19 then) accidentally pulled La Diva's hair extensions and i could just imagine the chagrin in the Prancing Pony's face. grrr... i'm sure that was so priceless. tood bad she had to ruin the priceless moment by saying "you keep the hair, i keep the gold." puzzanggalaaaa, i wish you trip with your own shoelaces missy. i'm definitely going all out support for the SEATTLE STORM when they play against the eeew Sporks.

Go LJ! Go OPALS!

Go Birdy! Go Swin! Go Riley!

ps. i just totally love the fact that Swin and Riley beat the Sporks last season in the W. belat nga sa yo, La Diva.
