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
http://www.lyricsmansion.com/result_east.php?number=2865
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
Ituring ang iyong sariling
Tagahawi ng ulap
Sa kalangitang kulimlim
Kampanang yayanig
Sa bawat nilalang
Magigising ang lupang
Kulang sa dilig
Ikaw ang magsasabing

Tulad ng isang tanglaw

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.

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!

Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Sue!
Yup, Birdy's turning 26 today. :) I hope she has a good one. I actually had it programmed into my phone but I forgot about it. So I was on the GO train when my phone started buzzing like crazy. It was really early too so I was half-asleep. I was like, "What on earth?" Then I fished around my pockets for my phone and saw "Sue Bird 26"
Anyway, here are my birthday wishes for her with between now and her next birthday (Selfish ones, take note)
1. In the 2007 WNBA Season, she'll get back on First Team All-WNBA. Just to shut the "haters" up....wouldn't that be sweet?
2. Winning the Dish& Assist Award. Just because I think she's the best passer out there and the best person at recognizing when and how to pass the ball. I can't believe she's only won it once. But next year will be her second.
3. A nose that will stay mended. :) I swear if she breaks her nose again, I'm personally gonna go over there and permanently stick that mask to her face. It brings too much anxiety for me when she breaks it.
4. A WNBA Championship. Well, we need at least two don't we?
5. A Perfect WNBA Season--Hahaha! Ok, this is the selfish one and highly unlikely one. But you never know. It would be sweet to go through the season with victory...after victory...after victory...:)
Anyone else wanna add anything feel free to comment. :) There can never be too many birthday wishes, right?

Two years ago...
...on this date...the Seattle Storm won their WNBA Championship. :)
I've been a little busy with other things and I've been trying to de-obsess myself with the Storm (because, well, they're gone until next May anyway). However, I saw the headline on the Storm website and I allowed myself to sit back and savor that moment once again. It was absolutely incredible. Anyway, I just wanted to write about it. Back then, since that was the first year I started watching them and I was known to flip flop between obsessions (Martina Hingis, Annika Sorenstam...yada yada...), when they won and I was screaming and jumping around the place, my mom and my sister basically ignored me. They were just like, "That's nice." Two years later, when they win, they get all excited for me, and when they lose, they stay the hell away from me. :)
Happy Anniversary Storm! Thanks for being a part of my life for the past two years.

Thanksgiving Weekend
Yesss!!!! I'm so happy it's Thanksgiving this week. I know my class schedule is pretty light and everything, but it still feels great to get a holiday. Plus Thanksgiving means a great big meal at my aunt's house. :)
I spent the day trying to write my outline for my Lit class. It's supposed to be about the predicament of the character in Eliot's poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock". Mainly, I'm writing the outline using lines from the book as explanations. Like if I say that Prufrock feels like he is disconnected from the world, I'll cite lines and then explain how they do support my claim. Anyway, the big problem is that it's supposed to be for an essay that is 4-5 pages long. But the outline is supposed to be contained in 1 page WITH the supporting details in it. WTF??? So now I'm trying desperately to cut it down. And it's not like my points are very extraordinary anyway...sigh....
I just started to read my Max Weber book for my other report and it's been going well so far. Basically, he believes that capitalism did not only arise due to economic goals but also because of religious goals. He says that capitalists see earning more and more profit as a "calling" and that not doing so to the best of one's ability would make God unhappy. It's an interesting take on it even if it's not something I can completely feel comfortable with. However, Weber does cite various historical examples to back his claims. I'm still struggling, however, with figuring out whether or not he approves of capitalistic enterprises because of his theory. It probably does not matter in the long run (i.e. my paper), but it's something that I'm just wondering about. It's possible that he's just talking about his theory of capitalism while not showing his opinions on the morality of it all.
My sis and I went to Red Lobster today and had their "endless shrimp" special. We had it on my birthday but we couldn't enjoy it too much because we got this really creamy shrimp pasta that prevented us from eating more shrimp. Anyway, we vowed to go back one time, not order that pasta, and eat plate after plate of shrimp....Thinking about it now, maybe it wasn't such a good game plan... :)
BTW, the Maple Leafs lost today against Montreal. Out of three games, they've only won one (yesterday's 6-0 drubbing of Ottawa). I'm pretty bummed. As if this wasn't bad enough, the other team I just began minorly rooting for (because of their goalie, Cam Ward), the Carolina Hurricanes, don't have a win yet in the new season after winning the Stanley Cup last year. I think I really am the cursed fan...sigh....
Oh yeah, and in the Yankees-Tigers series at least, I was rooting for the Yanks....that didn't turn out very well at all.
So I'm going to try and change it up a bit...I really don't like whoever is going to get out of the Cardinals-Padres series so I'm gonna cheer on whoever wins this series to win the whole thing. :)

Subway accident
I was on my way home with my sister last Friday from a hockey game. By the way, it was a great hockey game. It was the Marion Hilliard tournament here at the U of T at Varsity Arena. I thought that we'd see the Varsity Blues but instead we saw the U of Ottawa against the U of Alberta. It was the first hockey game I've ever seen and it was fun even if I was freezing my butt off. It was free too so my sis and I were seated in the front row.
Anyway, on the way home, I was lugging my heavy laptop and my school bag. My sister had my laundry bag. We were entering the subway at Museum to get to Union. The people in front of us were taking soooo loooong getting into the train. Finally, when we were getting in already, the whistle came on signaling that the train doors were closing. I rushed in and the doors began to close. I quickly put my hands out to stop the doors. While doing this, my brain just shut down completely and my right foot fell into the gap between the subway and the platform. I thought I had just tripped so I tried to stand up. Instead, my foot was stuck. I heard people screaming behind me and these really nice girls were helping my sister keep the door open so that the train wouldn't move. I finally managed to yank it out after hours it seemed. It turns out it was more like five seconds. Anyway, I think I have a bone bruise now and it really hurts. Thankfully though it wasn't anything more serious.
Thank God for those nice girls that helped me out. Because of me, they weren't able to catch the train. I was wondering whether my pride or my ankle hurt more. After a few seconds, my ankle definitely won out.
:) Anyone know anything about the parliamentary system, please email me ASAP. Stupid Machiavelli report. It's supposed to be 15 minutes long but Machiavelli says about eight lines about it in The Prince. Anyway, I've realized I've got to spout some BS to stretch my report out.
