December 7



It's December Seven
and
I'm Starting To Look Back At
Twenty Eleven


A couple o' thousand photos in the last eleven-plus months [Whew!!] - and couple more to shoot before 2011 ends - and I'm already reminiscin' [image wise, that is] ?  Yes.  SANA - Hopefully, I can outdo the best photos that I've shot the past Jan-to-the-first-week-of-December time frame, and that's easier said than done, I know,  but Hey, who knows ? 

 Without a doubt there are already a select number that will surely be part of "My Favorite/Best Images of 2011" folder - of course the number will be always be arbitrary - and now that I have a 6-month old blog that's alive and well - Why not share these select few images [pictures that will always be, excuse the senti context but I can't put it in any other way] --> that are "close to my heart" ?

[Tried to group them into a few categories, some of which have yet to be filled, I'm in no hurry to "complete my choices" - eventually the better images will just stand out above the rest - and I'll be coming back to this posting to add the eventual standouts as 2012 draws near.

D-League Monday



November 28, Monday
FEU Tambayan / R.Papa Gym

Good Company Makes A Meal A Feast


Went to the FEU R. Papa Gym to take photos of 2 D-League games.  Arriving around 11 a.m. [the games were scheduled at 2:00 and 4:00] I decided to surf at the FEU Tambayan [It is a comfy air-con/wi-fi resto right below the FEU University Athletics office], of course, only after paying a visit to FEU Athletic Director Mark Molina.  Had a brief chat with Paul Lee too [who I introduced myself to, at the gym] after talking to Mark. Going down to the Tambayan, I bumped into acquiantances Ronnie Aguisanda of the FEU UAAP Seniors Football Team, and Alandel Domekyas, now also with the Seniors Team, [Alandel just graduated from FERN, with a UAAP Juniors Championship under his belt] in the Tambayan.  My friend Pippo Nuonduo came in few minutes later.  Coach Alan Albano of the UAAP Champion Ladies Basketball Team came by. Course, we all had the usual sports talk. Had a nice lunch [Burp] with Nuondou, and before I knew it, Pippo had to bounce and I had to finish up on my surfing - time to shoot the NLEX vs Cobra Energy match.

 When I came in, Ronnie was busy surfing.

[-from the Season 71 UAAP Ladies Volleyball Championship Team] -
[remember - Daquis, Vivas, and Morada formed the Big Three 
of that formidable Champion Team]
 Irish Morada quietly takes her brunch at the FEU Tambayan.

- The humble champion, Alandel - at the D-League match -
Asked him how strong [or weaker] the FEU FERN Football Team is, 
now that he has moved on to the Senior ranks - Alandel replied -
"Pare masmalakas ang team ngayon"
Hmm - Guess . . . We'll find out early next year.

At the two D-League matches, had a few words with Simon Atkins, Jai Reyes and Eman Monfort. [Simon said he loves to play Call of Duty [PS3] - I suppose  he wouldn't mind playing Medal of Honor and Battlefiled 3 too - Yep, I wore my Battlefield 3 T-shirt kasi {availed of the promo at data Blitz} - and this jock's planning to get a Canon 7D, hope you get it soon dude]After the matches, copied the stats, then went back to the Tambayan for dinner.  Jai Reyes and Pippo Nuondou came by.   Started transferring some photos of Pippo to his HDD and just had Carbonara [Pippo's treat].  Soon enough some FEU basketball coaches came by - Muriel Garcia and Allan Albano - and coincidentally, me and Pippo were actually looking at one of my older blog postings which simply happened to have Coach Muriel's 6-month old baby girl, Mirielle on it.  'All in all -  'Twas a pleasant impromptu gathering that I simply had to take shots of.
And like I said - Good Company makes a Meal [any meal] a Feast.






RR came by just in time for my last few parting shots.


By the way - earlier that afternoon - . . . . .

Gryann Mendoza [in blue] still has a few playing years with the Tamaraws. 


Cris Exciminiano [in blue], on the other hand,
has finished his playing years with FEU.
The Tams will surely miss his defensive presence.

Sundot ?


 Literally down to the last second, 
Romeo kept on shakin' and bakin' and scoring.
These two photos [above and below] were taken
in the last 3 or so seconds of the game.




Has Romeo banished the ghosts of UAAP Championships lost ?
Probably so.
This Tamaraw has moved on.
