Some things to note before i forget:

On the Iron Maiden concert:
Awesome. Full house, crowd was crazy as hell. Bruce Dickinson can really work the crowd. Set-list was pretty good. Long enough but not too long cos i think most people are shagged out.
Things that irks me:
- moshing and slamming. Wanna mosh/slam then do it with those that want to la. Leave the others out of it man.
- smoking. Very inconsiderate.
- bad sound. And very bad videographer. Please film the guy playing the guitar solo.
Still, an unforgettable experience.
Sidenote: I think i'm the only metalhead in the office.

On the recent game loss:
Terrible free throw shooting. That was the difference between our team and every other pinoy team. I'm a good FT shooter, but the problem is I'm not aggressive enough. I must attack the basket more often and settle less for jump shots. The young guys can play full court man-to-man pretty well, but they lack on ball pressure skills. The pinoys are very calm, and that's another key difference between us and them. We shouldn't get frustrated with the calls and such. Do what you can control.

On St42:
Still no max effort. People are not trusting each other. Superstar mentality still lingers. There's many grievances and complains but none of them get through directly to me. I have to hear it from someone else to know the problem. Guys have to man up and just say it as it is. We still lack honesty with each other. Maybe shaking up the rotation will help. We'll see.

On myself:
Still semi-sick and not 100%. But training has to continue. I'm always faced with this problem: I can train and instruct other people, but who can train/instruct me? I'm always pushing myself, and others. I wish someone can push me instead. The saying goes: When the student is ready, the teacher appears. Maybe i'm not ready yet.

I like my randomised circuit training plan. Cuts quite a bit of time and keeps the blood pumping. Been putting quite a bit of work on jump training, hope it helps with explosiveness. And hope i do not get injured. Gotta pace myself slowly.

On the awesome watch i just bought:
Been wanting to get a smaller digital watch cos my G-shock is just too bulky to wear and shoot at the same time. It knocks against my wrist everytime i grab the ball hard. Bought the wrong watch initially (it has no countdown timer), so went to Mustafa again to buy one with a countdown timer. Awesome. Cheap and good. 26 dollars for small watch that can do so much.

On Vday:
I did not do anything on Vday, which probably pisses off SR. But the thing is that, I celebrate things because i want to, not because i have to. I believe in being judged for 365 days than being judged on 3 special days (Vday, Anniversary and Birthday). Then again, i don't really do much for 362 days either. I don't know, i'm not very good at being a boyfriend. I'm just very good at being myself.

Alright gotta read more journals.
