You'll Be Safe Here by Rivermaya

Okay, it's not nationalistic but I love this song. :)

Nobody knows
Just why we're here
Could it be fate
Or random circumstance
At the right place
At the right time
Two roads intertwine
And if the universe conspired
To meld our lives
To make us Fuel and fire
Then know
Where ever you will be
So too shall I be

[Chorus:]
Close your eyes
Dry your tears
'Coz when nothing seems clear
You'll be safe here
From the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears
Weary heart
You'll be safe here

Remember how we laughed
Until we cried
At the most stupid things
Like we were so high
But love was all that we were on
We belong
And though the world would
Never understand
This unlikely union
And why it still stands
Someday we will be set free.
Pray and believe

[Chorus:]
When the light disappears
And when this world's insincere
You'll be safe here
When nobody hears you scream
I'll scream with you
You'll be safe here
Save your eyes
From your tears
When everything's unclear
You'll be safe here
From the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears
Wounded heart
When the light disappears
And when this world's insincere
You'll be safe here
When nobody hears you scream
I'll scream with you
You'll be safe here
In my arms
Through the long cold night
Sleep tight
You'll be safe here
When no one understands
I'll believe You'll be safe,
You'll be safe
You'll be safe here
Put your heart in my hands
You'll be safe here

Liwanag sa Dilim by Rivermaya

Ituring ang iyong sariling
Tagahawi ng ulap
Sa kalangitang kulimlim
Kampanang yayanig
Sa bawat nilalang
Magigising ang lupang
Kulang sa dilig

Ikaw ang magsasabing
Kaya mo to
Tulad ng isang tanglaw
Sa gitna ng bagyo
Isigaw mo sa hangin
Tumindig at magsilbing
Liwanag
Liwanag sa Dilim

Harapin mong magiting
Ang bagong awitin
Ikaw ang
Liwanag sa Dilim

At sa paghamon mo
Sa agos ng ating kasaysayan
Uukit ka ng bagong daan
Ikaw ang aawit ng
Kaya mo to
Sang panalangin
Sa gitna ng gulo

I'm on a huge nationalistic kick right now. I'm dying to get home. Anyway, I'd like to share these songs that either warm my heart or incite me.

Posible kayang labanan ang agos ng paghamon
Mabuwal at madapa man, sabay tayong aahon
Posible kayang mabura alinlangan sa sarili
Ang tapang sa loob makikita
Taglay mo ang dugong bayani

Sulong, laban, 'wag uurong
Pakinggan sa 'yong puso ang sigaw na dating bulong
Sulong, laban, 'wag uurong
Pakinggan sa 'yong puso ang sigaw na dating bulong
Posible

Posible kayang matikman tamis ng gintong minimithi
Sa kagat ng bawat laban magtatagumpay ka muli
Sulong, laban, 'wag uurong
Pakinggan sa 'yong puso ang sigaw na dating bulong
Posible

Sulong, laban, 'wag uurong
Pakinggan sa 'yong puso ang na dating bulong
Posible
Sulong, laban, 'wag uurong
Pakinggan sa 'yong puso ang na dating bulong
Posible

Sulong, laban, Pilipino
Pakinggan sa 'yong puso ang na dating bulong

Posible
Posible

Bad Signs and Basketball Update

I had my economics midterm today. I had a class at 9 AM so I had to get up early to go to that. My test was still at 6 pm. Anyway, my alarm woke me up at 7:45. I was like, ah, I'll sleep in for another 5 minutes. Usually, it works. I fall in and out of sleep every minute or so then I eventually get up. This time, I dropped into slumber and when I got up with a start it was already 8:40. Forget breakfast and a shower I guess. I zipped right out of there. Anyway, I got to class in time but I was wondering if this really boded well for my entire day. Scary considering 1/4 of my economics grade would be decided today. It wasn't too bad though. It was just really long and tiring although I knew the answers. Not an A+ but maybe a B-? Good enough. As long as it's not an D....

I haven't been updating either the UConn or Duke teams results yet since their first games and, honestly, I won't put the results up til after December 5, after my final midterm. For now, it's just too much mindless work at this crucial time. All you need to know is that...ho-hum, they've won all their games.

UConn Defeats Team Concept (And Sue) 101-87

Admittedly, I was much more into this game than the Blue Devils against Anderson. Can it be that I'm starting to enjoy UConn more once again? Or could it just be because Sue was in the game? Hmm...Anyway, this will be a first. I'll be doing the stats for a game with Sue in it but I won't be doing her stats. Interesting...not that I haven't digested it anyway. :) But this post is for the UConn Huskies who, in my opinion, handed in a spectacular performance (at least from what I could observe from live stats)

But as a quick side note, Sue did have seven assists. :) Okay, seriously, that's it.

Charde Houston had a monster game. A Freakishly Awesome Game. She shot 14-20 from the field (hello???) and ended up with 30 points, 19 frigging rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 6 steals. In 28 minutes. Yup. Okay, I never kept up with her stats before (only the final scores) but does she always do this? Because if she did....you know....there's a Storm uni waiting for her in 2008....

Tina Charles, yes the frosh, had a great game. She shot 8-14 from the field and had 16 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, a block and a steal. Welcome to the Huskies. :) I wonder how much of a chance Duke had of nabbing her. :( I'd like those 13 rebounds on the Devils.

Renee Montgomery only had 9 points but she compensated with 6 assists (yes! Sue still beat her in that area :) sorry, I'm forever gonna compare them) She also had 3 rebounds.

Mel Thomas had 12 p0ints (on slightly atrocious 3 point shooting percentage), an assist and a steal. Ok, I think that maybe she can do better than that. Apart from her probably jacking up threes and missing most of them, she should have tried to get into other aspects of the game. I mean, she's one of the older ones on the team right? Hence, more experience.

Kalana Greene had 10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and a steal.

Tahirah Williams only played 6 minutes which seems a bit on the low side for an exhibition game. In those minutes, she managed to get 1 foul and 2 turnovers to her name. Ouch.

Ketia Swanier had 6 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and a steal.

Jacquie Fernandes only played 3 minutes. She had 2 points and a rebound.

Meghan Gardler had 5 points and 2 rebounds in limited action

Kaili McLaren had 11 points and 11 rebounds along with an assist and a block.

Cassie Kerns had a rebound and an assist in 5 minutes of action.

My question for any UConn fan out there is: If this was only an exhibition contest, why did Geno skew his minutes so much with 3 of his players getting only from 3 to 6 minutes? It wouldn't really have mattered had he let them play would it and they lost? Hmmm....

Duke Demolishes Anderson University 107-37

Great start for my Devils, although the score is quite sad for the other team. Hopefully, the Dukies didn't try to run up the score on them....

I liked the distribution of minutes by Coach G considering it was an exhibition game. Everyone got their fair shots at the floor.

Carrem Gay had 7 points, 2 blocks, 4 steals and 8 rebounds. She only shot 50% from the FT line though and only 2-8 from the floor.

Ali Bales had 20 points, 8 blocks, 2 steals and 10 rebounds. I'm sooo happy she had a good game. I feel like, if she continues to play like she did to the latter part of last season, we have a good chance to win the NC. And this was a pretty darned good performance.

Abby Waner had 16 points, 2 assists, 4 steals, and 5 rebounds. Yay for the scoring. I became a Duke fan because of Abby so I'm hoping she goes and blows the competition away either this year or next when no one is really expecting it.

Lindsey Harding had 8 points, 4 assists, 3 steals and a rebound. Ermm...I don't know. That's the problem about not watching games. I can't really judge how well she handled the team, etc. Stats don't always tell the story, but that's all I'm going to have to go on every time for these college games. After all, I'm not going to pay to listen to their games (I'm a suffering college student, remember). I wish they had one of those free live streaming radio stations like the Storm has.

Wanisha Smith had 8 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals.

Emily Waner had 11 points, 3 assists, 3 steals and 3 rebounds. It's only an exhibition so I'll look past the 3-10 from the 3 point line, but seriously.... :(

Bridgette Mitchell had 11 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 3 steals. Not a bad stat line at all for a frosh. In fact, pretty impressive.

Joy Cheek 10 points, 7 rebounds, a block and 2 steals.

Brittany Mitch had 8 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals

Keturah Jackson had 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 steals.

Anyhoo, important thing is that they won pretty big and it looks like everyone had a pretty even stat line.

Fight Devils!
