The ESPY Award (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Award) is an acknowledgement or honour given by ESPN to individuals and teams for their athletic achievements and other sports-related performances in a year.
LeBron James was the biggest winner of the night. He won the Best Male Athlete, Best NBA Player and Best Championship Performance. He is the first repeat winner of Best Male Athlete since Lance Armstrong won it in 4 straight years, 2003-2006. His team Miami Heat also won the award for Best Team. And you can clearly see how happy they are with this picture from the Old Spice photo booth.I'm not a Miami Heat fan. Oh no. But I think this pic is a good one to show you guys.
Serena Williams won the Best Female Athlete (which she also won last 2003) and Best Female Tennis Player.
Michael Phelps also is a big winner with 2 awards, Best Record-Breaking Performance and Best Male US Olympic Athlete. Seriously, who else should take it?
Same thing goes to Tiger Woods for grabbing the Best Male Golfer award.
You can check the complete list of winners at the ESPN or at The Hollywood Gossip website.

First, congratulations to the FEU Tamaraws for winning the 2009 UAP Cheerdance Competition. Second, congratulations to the Ateneo Blue Babble Battalion for finally getting in the top 3 and snagging the 2nd spot. Third, congratulations to the UP Pep Squad for at least making it to the 3rd spot. I so love this season. Of course I want my beloved UP to win but it's also good to have new teams on the top. Congratulations to everyone (aww kiko, why not during your time? hehehe Go Ateneo!).
I haven't watched this season's UAAP basketball. I'd probably won't be watching for the next couple of years hahaha Well, not unless UP mkes it to the top 4 :)
Anyway, since I'm still hung up with the Jabbawockeez I just wanna share that I was reading several threads/discussions about who the single members are, etc. It's really funny 'coz it seems like the girls wanted the Jabbawockeez to be single for a long time hahahaha Does that include me? Err... I'm happy for Rynan and Phil (gosh he's so cute talaga!) but can Ben stay single a lttle bit longer? Some videos say he's taken, some videos say he's single. Fine, I'm being selfish. Go Ben! Go and be... taken. hahaha

Since Sunday evening, after watching the basketball game between ADMU and UP, I couldn’t stop thinking what really happened with Larry Fonacier. Yesterday morning, I read in the newspaper that he might have a season-ending ACL or MCL. There isn’t any positive angle so I hoped it isn’t something detrimental. Not until I received some text messages from my concerned friends and after I read the newspaper that I felt so shattered about what had happened. I know it may sound weird to most of you (I, myself, even find it weird) but I felt so hurt when I learned that Larry won’t be playing for the rest of UAAP’s season 67 because he tore both his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and MCL (medial collateral ligament). ACL is already worse, why add the MCL?! BJ Manalo and Magnum Membrere (Magnum had an ACL right? If I’m wrong, please be kind enough to tell me) had gone through some operations and therapies because of ACL. Why does Larry have to have both (stupid question. Spare me)? I just feel so much for him. This is his season! If I were in his shoes, I might have gone crazy (well you know what I mean)!!! It was just a very shocking news this morning. I told my parents about it. My father said I worry too much. My mother (with matching sad face) said “Kawawa naman siya. Sayang ang galing pa naman niya. Pero we can’t do anything about it. Pag-pray na lang natin siya” What??! Did she just say natin? Aww… isn’t my nanay so… nice? By the way, my tatay said tat if you feel sad, sorry or pity for somebody, there’s no use if you just feel the feeling. You should do something about it. So I was thinking, I’ll pray for Larry and…. would it be ok if I send him flowers or fruits? Ok! fine… I won’t…. I can already see some of your reactions wehehehe

When I watched ADMU's game against DLSU last weekend, I felt my team would severely lose. Malaki talaga ang kawalan nina Rich and Wesley. Not that wala akong tiwala kay LA, Larry and Paolo to bring the team pero syempre Alvarez and Gonzales can score between 10-15 points per game! But as the blue fans would always say, "we believe". Kaya nga kahit naglalaro na lang between 8-15 points and difference ng score, with the archers ruling the game, a 2 point shot by a blue jersey is a big thing. Support na lang kumbaga.
This may sound funny and ridiculous for a lot people but I did pray while watching the game. Sabi ko kay Lord, ok lang if the eagles lose the game basta huwag namang 15 points yung difference! Then I realized, hihiling lang ako kay Lord hindi ko pa sagarin. So sabi ko, "Lord, please…. Let the blue eagles win" pero nahahalata kong walang nangyayari. It then dawned on me na walang nangyayari even though I was praying kasi siguro unconsciously may iba pa kong rason why I want my team to win. And I felt ang evil talaga nun. Kaya sabi ko, "Lord, sorry bad girl ako. sige, ok lang kahit hindi manalo team ko… basta wag na lang po talaga malaki yung lamang ng archers….. pero…. Lord please let the eagles win!!! Please…please!!! You never failed me last season!!! I'm sure you won't fail me this time" (sobra noh? Malala na pala ako)
An archer once told me that there was a record that for the 2 games that these schools meet in the elimination every season, laging 1/1 ang record. Pero last year, Ateneo broke it. They won both games against La Salle during the elimination. Yehey!!! Then I just learned recently that La Salle has a 16-year unbeaten record every first game of every season, which shattered yesterday afternoon after Ateneo swoop past them to win the battle. Yebah!
I think masyadong naging complacent ang players ng La Salle. In fairness to the green team, ang galing talaga ng players nila. Yeo is like a machine. Have you seen his moves? Ang galing talaga! And his untiring 3pt shots! Applause to Casio. Deserving talaga for the Rookie of the Year last season. I don't see anybody else who deserved that title.
Pero syempre, the Eagles flew high!!!! Yehey!!! Awa na nga ako kay Fonacier. Halos hindi na siya paupuin! Buti na lang nag-work yung ibang players. Larry must be very tired (as if close kami). My sister asked me why I like the guy eh hindi naman siya guwapo. You see, it doesn't matter kahit hindi siya gwapo kasi ang galing niya!!!! Though I know marami namang magaling. Pwede rin namang si Yeo ang maging crush ko kasi he's good. However, I like Fonacier because he manages to keep a low profile even though he plays really good, can shoot 3's and is one of UAAP's best free-throw shooters. Wohoo!!!! And syempre he wears the blue jersey!!!!
But sometimes I can't help but think, I don't really care much if ADMU wins or not if they play with other schools other than DLSU. Hmm… that's weird. And if DLSU plays with NU, I'd go for NU. Uh-oh… I'm starting to have a conclusion. Blue blood is running in my veins…. No! GO UP!!!!!
Anyway, I'm so happy ADMU!!! Ang saya-saya!!!! One Big Fight! Ateneo Fight!!!

Froilan Baguion and Ronnie Cajayon are not with NU anymore to head the Bulldogs in this year's basketball games. UST on the other end lost most of their experienced players including Alwyn Espiritu, Dereck Hubalde and Edsel del Rosario. NU led the game with as much as 18points. However, UST was able to trim down the difference as Christian Luanzon pulled his team to win the game by scoring 20 points.
ADMU vs. DLSU
As expected, Archers and Eagles fanatics packed Araneta Coliseum to watch the first match of the arch rivals this season. The cagers from Taft made as much as 15-point lead from 2nd quarter until the fourth only to get disappointed during the last five minutes of the last quarter. Bajjie del Rosario nailed a 3-pt shot to help the Eagles move closer and cut the score difference. Ateneo won by three points against DLSU 75-72, with the spitfire LA Tenorio's good assists and the silent assassin Larry Fonacier's 20 points, 8 rebounds and 12/12 FTs. Ateneo wrecked La Salle's 16-year record of winning their first game every season.

The Falcons have an intact line-up this year compared to the Maroons. Most of Adamson's players extensively improved and was proven more after placing second to DLSU in the Fr. Martin's Cup during the off-season. These guys from San Marcelino nearly made it to the final four last year had not they lost the game against the Archers for the fourth position. Coach Trillo's team is definitely an improved team. The Maroons on the other hand, lost JR Reyes who undeniably played a vital role for the Maroons. There's nothing wrong in desiring to win the first game knowing it's a competition against the fifth placer of last year's season. But I do not know what to conclude after we lost the game against the Falcons. Are the players just not good enough or was it an issue again of placing wrong players at crucial times? Some players are sometimes overlooked just like what happened to Nestor David last year. Coach Vergara didn't give him enough playing time because he was too focused on Marvin Cruz as he expected the rookie last year to play the way he did during his junior years. I didn't like what Coach Vergara said which was quoted in a certain newspaper, "Siguro makakaganda na rin yung wala sila, (Bornancin and Reyes) kasi makaka-step up na 'yung ibang players. Wala na kasing star player sa team." I don't think it was appropriate to even say mas mabuti na wala sila. Please! Lets us give some respect to these two guys. They didn't scored zero.
UP lost the game big time. But compliments to Josant Cervantes and Toti Almeda for standing up for the team.
FEU vs. UE
How would a team feel if half of their veteran players are gone and they're about to face the defending UAAP champs and the big winner of the recently concluded PBL? It was indeed a great challenge for the Warriors after facing the Tamaraws on their first game, which was held this afternoon. FEU is still fresh from grabbing the PBL title while UE is still trying to blend together since most players are new and they have a new coach, Dindo Pumaren. It's up to their remaining veterans KG Canaleta, Paolo Hubalde and JR Masbang to lead the team to the final four.

The De La Salle Green Archers will be hosting this season’s UAAP games. I read that they will remove the typical opening numbers wherein performers sing and dance. What they will have is “an amazing show of lights and laser”…. Amazing? How do you define amazing? Hmm…. I have to see that.
Dindo Pumaren is UE Warrior’s new coach. So the “Holy War” is now through. It’s now Pumaren vs. Pumaren. Well… I don’t have further comments.
I’m looking forward to seeing this year’s Adamson Falcons. They’ve got a good line-up this season. No wonder why coach Trillo is so excited. Talk about Jomar Canuday who led the junior falcons last year to the championships (unfortunately, the blue eaglets grabbed the title) They still have the 3-point shooter Patrick Tiongco. And Mark Abadia? Maybe he will still be expected to lead the team (I think he should lessen his ego coz it affects his game)
JR Reyes and Rob Bornancin will not be joining the UP Maroons in the basketball battle. I read from a newspaper that there was some kind of misunderstanding between JR Reyes and the Maroons basketball team. I don’t know if it’s with the whole team or just with the coaching staff. Kenneth Robin is back, as well as Abby Santos. I guess people will be expecting more from Cervantes, Almeda, Cruz and David.
The superstars of Ateneo have left the team. Good thing they still have Bugia, Tenorio and the guy who manage to keep a low profile despite all his heroism in most games, Larry Fonacier (yipee!).
So, will the Tamaraws have a repeat? Will UST go for their 18th straight year as UAAP’s general champion? Who will be a part of this year’s final four? Let’s just wait and see!
GO! GO!….. umm….. blue falcons???!!! Hehehe (kala nyo eagles noh?)
UP FIGHT! (love your own daw eh)
