This just about sums it up for me....

Winter ultimate

Well wala lang akong updates sa winter league, eto na lang... kung san kami nag lalaro. Panalo din sana kung meron sa pinas para kahit bumabagyo pwede maglaro. hehehe.

BMO Field (we play Mondays)

BMO Bubble

BMO LoobVarsity Stadium Bubble (Thursdays)
Loob

Varsity Stadium 2

Di ka rin Makulit part 2

Po:"Nakapunta ka na ng Mindanao?"
Yug:"Yeah, lagi kaming tumutugtog dun. Davao at CDO."
Po:"Oh? Di ba lugi pag punta ninyo dun?"
Yug:"Uh, sagot naman lahat, saka may bayad tumugtog."
Po:"..."
Yug:"Uh... Professional musikero to, excuse me."

Indoor Champs!

Yea, indoor champs bitches!!! I thought we were each gonna win a gold disc, just like what TUC awards to winners during the regular leagues. The GAIA shirts were alright too (see pic below).

Those fuckers tried to pull a fast one on us before the game. They had ringers from the A league play for them for a couple of points, but the convenor said they can't do that especially during the finals. Kung sino lang nasa roster, yun lang naman talaga dapat maglalaro noh. Ayun, we almost lost to them during the regular games. May gigongous handler sila na hinde namin ma mark ng maayos. Pinatay kami nila nun sa deep throws and millions of hammers.

Eh game plan namin ngayon i force sila ng backhand, para mas madaling mabantayan yung hammer throws. Ayun, nag work naman. Saka yung big boi nila pinagod nung maliit naming teammate, sinabihan namin na tumakbo lang sha ng tumakbo. Ayun eventually napagod din yung handler nila.

They just gave up eventually, not putting up much of a fight during the latter stages of the game.

Astig. Exciting pala maglaro sa finals. Ayaw mo talaga maging weakest link. Kaya todo lang sa D at O. Yay!

SOTG

Wow! for the first time kasali ako sa number 1 team, unlike the jogalosers. Hehe, joke. Although hinde naman pros yung mga nasa tier namin, marurunong pa rin nonetheless. yung tier 1 kasi dun yung mga touring players naglalaro.

anyhoot share ko lang. team name namin "Rosy the Vietnamese Pork-bellied Pig." Dapat nga sabi ko Jennelai na lang eh. HAHAHAHAHA!!! well...

http://www.tuc.org/page.php?url=/leaguerunner/league/list

Number 1 nga kami before the playoffs, pero olats naman yung SOTG.

What is the moral of the story? Kung gusto mo umasenso sa standings, MANGUPAL KA NA LANG! The end justifies the means!!! Sagasaan na lahat. Hehehehehe.

*napansin ninyo ba na puro related sa pigs yung mga pangalan ng teams? Jen, Melai, MOND! saktong sakto pala kayo dito!!!

Waterloo Octoberfest Tournament

Share ko lang yung fun Spirit game na nilaro namin nung weekend. Tawag nila AI-YAH!!! May mag ai-ya (raise hands ala karate chop), tapos tuturo niya yung isang tao sa circle. Dapat mag ai-ya yung tao na naturo (also raising his/her hands) tapos may ituturo siyang ibang tao, habang yung dalawang katabi niya chi-no-chop din sha. Dapat lahat ng movements may hai-yah! kung di ka in-sync, alis ka. kung di mo maintindihan, ayan panoorin mo na lang...

Di ka rin makulit

Peterborough Tourney

Niyaya ako nung thursday teammate ko na sumali sa kanila for the Harvest tournament in Peterborough (mga 2 hrs east of TO), shempre go naman ako kasi $25 lang. Tamang camping daw overnight. Hmmm... sige sabi ko, camping. Kahit huling nag camping ako grade 2 pa ata. OO nag boy scout ako nun. Hahahaha. So nanghiram ako ng camping gear dun sa isa ko pang teammate. Alis kami ng 6.30 sa TO.

Pagdating namin dun, parang masama na kutob ko. Yung captain namin lasing pa. Nagstay na sila overnight dun (Friday night) with the rest of the team, tapos libre daw yung wine at nagpainom pa yung organizers ng Creemores na beer (premium beer to a). And so our first game goes like this... Pass... Drop... Score for kalaban. Pucha, kamusta naman sa mga oldies na kakampi ko. As in mga Mr and Mrs sila. Hahahaha. Di na makatakbo, aga pang mapagod. Kung hinde lang dahil sa amin ni Alan (my teammate) at yung isang teammate nila na magaling din, ewan ko kung san sila pupulutin. Kamusta naman sa zone nila na walang kamatayan. Hanggang sa loob ng endzone naka cup pa rin sila. Di pa nakakarinig kung sinigaw ko na man to man na defense na.

Ayun, di naman magagaling yung mga ibang teams din, pero they managed to beat us pretty badly. Well olats nga sa laro pero buti na lang masarap pagkain na libre at maraming toma. Laborer serving size ang pasta na kanilang pinamimigay, and all the free wine that you want. May red at may white pa. Sobrang daming fruits, at may libreng kape sa umaga. Pwede na.

Funny nung dinner, habang kumakain lahat inannounce nila yung team standings, sinimulan nila sa 15th place (last).... "at 15th place... Huckin Heroes!" tapos lahat kami sa team: "WHOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!! YEAH!!!" lahat ng tao tawanan. Hahahaha. Tapos may katabi kaming guy na sobrang wasted na, as in half-open na yung mata. Kinukulit niya yung isang teammate ko, eh may katabi siyang bote ng wine. Shempre being the mambuburaot that i am, hiniritan ko na: "Ey dude, chug that bottle!" Tapos lahat ng teammates ko at the same time: "Chug, chug, chug,..." Tinugga ni gago! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Hay, after that inom ng beer sa may campfire tapos tulog na. Punyeta, kulang ata yung gamit ko. Lahat sila may air mattress sa loob ng tent nila, ako sleeping bag at rubber mattress lang. Yung lalagyan pa ng sleeping bag nilagyan ko lang ng damit para unan. Pakshet hanggang ngayon masakit pa rin likod ko. Wala, di ako uubra ata sa camping shit.

Ayun the next day, nanalo naman kami ng 2 games. may mas supot pa pala sa amin. HAHAHAHA. It was fun nonetheless, but could have been better if I had teammates na kahit papano marunong mag ultimate. kahit konti lang. Lose.

Playoffs

Ayun, TUC playoffs nung Sunday. Actually, nagstart na siya last week, pero monday and tuesday teams mga naglaro. Naglaro din ako nun, pero supot mga kakampi ko. nagsi alisan pa nung linggo. lousy. Etong linggo naman ok. Won 3 Lost 3, Tied 1.

Ayan, share ko lang... Marami akong teammate na hinde magaling. May RG pa nga kami! Hahahahaha, as in pag hawak niya yung disc, turnover 70% of the time. Pero he's trying. Try lang. hahaha. Yung mga girls namin, konti lang athletic. Yung mga athletic naman, di rin mashadong magaling. HINDE MAGALING AT ALL PALA.

PERO... lahat nakakahawak ng disc. kahit na supot magpasa, mataba, mabagal, matanda pinapasahan pa rin. Pag napapansin ng iba na hinde pa nakakakuha ng disc yung iba, pinapasahan naman. Hinde lang pilit. For every catch or pass that people make, umaangat yung confidence nila. So nagiging mas maganda yung laro nila, kahit for 2 days lang. So nagiging mas enjoyable yung game. Nandun yung drive to win, pero everyone makes sure that everyone is enjoying the game at the very least.

May isa nga akong teammate na matanda na, mabagal rin tumakbo. Nung first part of the season parang ineechepwera siya ng isa sa teammates ko (bitchface kasi yun), pero nung weekend nagulat ako kasi marunong naman pala siya. Hinde lang binibigyan ng chance dati siguro.

Lesson? Magtiwala. Kung hinde mo rin naman papasahan, pano matututo yan? Ngayon ko lang din nakita na importante lang din yung field awareness. Kahit mabagal ka, madaling makakuha ng disc.

Yep. That's me!

Nationals

Canadia Ultimate Champeenships. Nanood ako ng finals sa Varsiy Stadium (University of Toronto), anlufet lang talaga. Yung mga teams na naglaro sa finals galing Toronto at Vancouver lang. East versus West. Well nanalo yung mga teams galing ng Vancouver. Hahahaha.
Yung womens final sobrang tight game. Di lumalampas ng more than 2 points yung difference ng scores throughout the game. Traffic (Vancouver) won over the Capitals (Toronto-Ottawa). Every point was exciting, super skilled yung mga girls. Sa mens naman, araw lang talaga ng Furious George (from Vancouver), daming sablay nung Goat (Toronto). Daming lay outs! Ambibilis pa nila tumakbo lahat. Yung mga nanalo ata ang mag rerepresent sa Canada sa Worlds next year (which is in Vancouver).Napansin ko lang sa kanila na very active yung sideline nila. Both sides of the field may teammate sila dun, sinasabi kung sino libre, yelling "up", saka nag cheer na rin. Tapos may mga observers. Feeling ko sa mga championships kailangan ng observers pag hinde maka reach ng agreement yung mga nag call ng fouls or whatever. Kahit pala sa high levels, daming nana. Hehehe. Pag minsan mashadong maraming calls na, yung crowd sumisigaw ng: "Enough talk! Just play!" Saka active din sila sa boo-ing. May mga tumatawag ng foul pag clean D naman. Hmmm... Sounds familiar.

Ayun, masaya pa rin manood ng ultimate. Shempre iba pa rin yung kasama mo manood teammates mo habang umiinom at nagkukulitan. Sheeet. Ano joga? Worlds tayo next year! Hahahaha.

Mid Season Tourney

Yahoo! Another weekend of ultimate. After not playing for more than a week (thursday games got cancelled due to rains) I was so pumped to play this weekend. Tourney was at Sunny Brook Park. It's a massive plateau with soccer, field hockey, cricket, and rugby fields. And almost all of the fields were for TUC's tourney.

Around 40 teams from different tiers and days played during the weekend. We played 4 games yesterday, at lahat talo. Pakshet. Kulang nanaman kami sa tao, like in North Bay. Tinalo pa kami nung isang team na nakalaban na namin sa thursday nights. Well in fairness may hugot sila na touring player, yung tipong pumupunta sa Nationals.

Highlights of my weekend include an assist on a spirit point. Yung isang point na nilaro namin (after regulation time) was a chair point. May isa kayong teammate na injured or whatever na nasa chair sa gitna ng endzone ninyo. Tapos sha lang pwede sumalo ng disc sa endzone. Shempre ang lolo mo ang nag pasa. Curling flick may bantay pa sa gitna ko at ng chair. Perfect pass! yess. Nagalingan sila eh. Naks. Saka I was picked for a prize after another game for being the best guy player in our team. May nagyaya pa nga sa akin na sumali sa upper tier team. Um-oo lang ako pero di niya lang alam na wala akong stamina. Hahahaha.

Ultimate career? Hmmm... Asa pa. Pag payat na siguro ako, baka pwede pa. Pag payat na ako, di na ko sasali rin sa FUN team. Di ba jen? Mwahahahaha.

ang lufet lang ng transformers...

Ang bangis lang talaga. Shet. Napanood ko rin yung Die Hard. OA. hahahaha. Pero pwede na rin. Lam ko mejo late na ako nakapanood, ayaw ko makisabay sa millions of people na nanood last week.

Di ba dapat si bumblebee ay volks? labo lang na camaro siya. Funny thing, token black dudes always get killed in a movie. Kahit sa robots, ganun din. Taena boses pa lang ni Jazz egoy na eh. Siya pa namatay. Wahahaha. Sayang, I wanted to see more of the megatron/starscream fights. Di ba palagi silang nag aaway sa cartoons? Ano kaya sunod? GI Joe? Baduy ata kung totoong tao.

Best part is... nilibre ako ni Jackol. Yun lang. o jen shatap, baka nagwawater water ka nanaman jan.

new post!

Wow, new post finally. I've been waiting for the tourney pics from one of my teammates pero mashado nang matagal.

anyhoot, galing ako sa tourney sa north bay two weeks ago. It's around 5 hours from toronto (north). yung isang teammate ko may cottage dun. so dun kami nag stay for the weekend.

I haven't been to a cottage before, so i'm kinda excited. i was not expecting much after all, iniisip ko na mejo rustic house by the lake. pero pagdating namin dun, pucha ang laki nung bahay. 6-7 bedrooms ata meron tapos loaded pa yung house din. hot tub, sauna, boat, wakeboards, the works. kahit yung mga whities na kasama ko nagulat din sa cottage. apparently mayaman pala yung teammate ko. yesss...

the tourney is pretty big. 28 teams from in and around ontario came. mejo big deal pala ang ultimate sa north bay. kahit na maliit lang yung town, sobrang daming naglalaro. yung team namin parang hat team lang. yung thursday night team ko kasi nag meet up lang through postings sa toronto ultimate club website, so wala talagang magkakakilala. nakipag volt in kami sa isa pang thursday team.

ang sablay lang sa tourney namin, thursday night na injure yung may ari ng cottage. friday night na injure yung isa pang teammate namin. sat morning during the first game na injure yung isa pang guy. so 3 guys ang natanggal agad. mejo savage yung guys. 1 sub lang for the whole weekend.

we won our first game, tapos talo na lahat. magagaling kasi yung mga nainjure, so olats. iba rin yung teams dito. magagaling lahat. we watched some of the games from the other fields, it's like watching ultimate games on video. yung tipong collegiate level. so iba talaga. naisip ko kung kakayanin ng pula yung top teams dito... hinde ata. hehehe.

ang makulit sa northbay tourney, may two points. pag nasalo mo yung disc behind the back sa endzone, two points. we tried pero wala talaga. hehehe. malamig din yung panahon dun. para kang naglaro sa baguio ng december. dapat mainit na e, pero naging makulimlim kaya lumamig.

after the games, tamang chillax na lang sa hot tub at inom ng beer. ok naman yung mga teammate ko. buti may isang couple na asian kaya di mashadong nakaka op. pero most of the time ako lang mag isa sa isang sulok kasi nakaka op pa rin. weirdo lang talaga yung ibang lahi. hirap timplahin. hehehe.

i tried to swim in the lake, but as soon as i hit the water i wanted to get out. sobrang lamig pakshet. tangina... di tayo pang lake water! tamang beach at tubig alat ang balat mo! hehehe. so diretso na lang ako sa sauna tapos hot tub. pero etong whities tamang nag wakeboarding pa e. shet. panglamig sila talaga.

Eto yung lake view...

Eto yung backyard namin.

ultimate update

Well wala akong ibang ginagawa dito kung hinde mag trabaho at mag ultimate. yung picture sa itaas, clinic sa riverdale park. pang mid level players. yung mga nagtuturo mga A level players.

Ngayon naman sumali ako sa dalawang league, sa Toronto Ultimate Club at sa Toronto Central Sport and Chuva Club. yung sa TUC laro every thursday nite, yung sa TCSSC sunday ng gabi naman. Taena supot kung supot yung sunday team, mga oldies na nandun matitigas pa ulo. mas magaling pa yung jogadores nung unang naglaro ng ultimate e. matagal na nga sila naglalaro pero olats. sayang ata pera ko. di bale feeling magaling naman ako dun at mukhang bilib naman sila. kung sa baga, may napagpa-practisan ako. hahaha.

yun naman sa TUC ok. lotsa experience and a bit of athleticism, pero yung mga kalaban naman namin mas athletic. challenging naman. taena takbuhan kung takbuhan eh. kailangan na ata mag quit ng yosi. shempre sa unang laro namin suot ko yung ultimate underdogs ko na jersey. represent! sa akin lang ata sakto yung fit a. pero kahit pareho kami ni rose nasukatan, iba pa rin yung fit kay rose. labo. pero in fairness di naman mang peping quality yung jersey.

panalo lang dito, SOBRANG daming ok na fields. apparently importante ang parks sa kanila. so ang daming fields at sports. etong sa baba naman rugby fields sa eglinton flats.
sa likod ng bahay namin may gate na saktong bumubukas sa football field ng school. pwedeng pwede mag disc golf. buti ngayon mga 9pm na nagsisimulang dumilim. swak pagtapos ng work bato bato ka sa likod. naisip ko lang kung nandito joga, jan lang tayo mag pa-practice tapos diretso sa backyard para di na maghahanap pa ng chicken boy na tambayan. hahahaha.

Filipino Funnnies

An excerpt from a Filipino newspaper:

Pare1: Pre nasusuka ako pero di tumutuloy.
Pare2: Sundutin mo yung lalamunan mo.
Pare1: Ayaw pa rin lumabas eh.
Pare2: Sundot mo sa pwet mo.
Pare1: Ayaw pa rin eh.
Pare2: Sundot mo ulit sa lalamunan mo.

Well bentang benta sa erpat ko. Hahahaha.
