GO ATENEO!!!

I was at work while the game was on going. But I'm blessed to be following the Sexy Mom on Twitter so I got regular updates. Then, midway through the second quarter, I realized that Marc (he's a Davaoeño blogger) was live blogging. It was an intense afternoon waiting for updates from both Dine and Marc. I really, really though the DLSU Green Archers was going to win. I was shocked (BUT VERY HAPPY) when I learned that the Ateneo Blue Eagles won. YEY!!! Next game is on Sunday... GO ATENEO!!!

Before I Comment…

I am not too fond of commenting on other people's blogs unless I feel like I really, really have to say what I want to say. So when another commenter has already sufficiently said what I want to say, I don't comment anymore. When I don't fully understand what the entry is all about, I don't comment. When I feel like the entry and the issue is not worth the bother, I don't comment. When I think that too much has been said already and the issue is getting out of control, I usually don't comment. The point is I only comment when I think I can contribute something substantial to the discussion. I also never comment if I didn't read carefully the blog entry. Some dumb dumb stupidly commented on my About the Ria Jose page: hey, miss priss. :) you an’t a prof blogger. prof bloggers get moneh for their blogs. i don’t think you do. besides, you’re using wordpress, by golly wow. =)) Ummm... so... here's the part of the page where I wrote that I am a problogger: I am a teacher, a freelance writer, a marketing and PR consultant, and a professional blogger (I think).…

Tayo'y Dabawenyo

I didn't know that Davao City had an official song until I joined an essay-writing contest a few years ago and the organizers sang the song before the contest began. I was more surprised to know that most of the other participants knew the song. Now that I am employed by the Davao City government, I have to attend the weekly flag ceremony at the City Hall. And we sing this song at those ceremonies. I am trying to memorize the song. It's a beautiful song that depicts the natural wonders of the city and how as Davaoeños we should commit ourselves to serving the city. Tayo'y Dabawenyo Sa dakong timog ng Mindanaw may isang lungsod na hinirang ang likas nyang kayamanan ay walang kapantay Mga bundok, dagat, lupain ay sagana sa pagkain at ang magagandang tanawin kadluan ng aliw Mutyang lungsod ng Dabaw sa iyang paglalakbay sa mithiing kaunlaran ikaw ay paglilingkuran Tayo'y Dabawenyo na tapat at tooo pangarap ay matamo kaluwalhatian mo Lungsod na paraiso
