San Beda Red Lions: NCAA 3Peat Champion @ 84

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Its been a very tough 84th season for my alma matter, San Beda College. Though its is much harder for the players this time, they still managed to overcome the difficulties and still proved to be the best in Men’s College Basketball last September 29 2008 of the 84th season. It reminded me of our last lesson about debt consolidation, no matter how much you borrow, i mean the strength and the guidance, with the help of everyone around you, everything will be jest fine. If I would compare the 82nd season championship from the 84th, I would gladly say that this season is the next big thing to happen in San Beda. Imagine the blood lust those lions are into while on the game, they would defend their Turk, their pride and would bet their best just to win the game against Jose RIzal University who finally came into the finals after a long wait.

I wonder how those Hopias, which they love to call themselves felt after the lost. I know it is hard for them, so close but the Red Lions took it away from them before they come into contact. It must be really really depressing. Well that was this game is all about, give your best and decide to win, good game though. One thing that really matter is that SBC won Three straight seasons and still defended it successfully. I cannot imagine the long months of training for this. I envy my colleagues who went into the victory party that same night, but good thing for me I managed to evade another heartbreaking credit card debt which I try to avoid as much as possible.

The sad part is that two best players of the team will graduate this coming March, can the Lions still roar without them? Sam Ekwe will surely be missed by the supporters and the whole Bedan Community. But as far as the team would go, they now have another great talent who will play in the next season and that will remain a surprise until that day, of course my college know all about it. Well good luck to them and for the meantime I will deal with my debt management program and enhance my knowledge to deal with my own. Animo San Beda!

Midterm Hassle Solution

Friday, August 15th, 2008

Every midterm examination week, every student knows what to expect - “study hard so you will pass” or “this chance, better not take it lightly”. Yeah, studying means getting your eyebrows burned, staying up late just to learn all the things that was given to you as a lesson or a lecture when in fact there is no need to study everything from scratch if you know well right from the start what course or subject you are studying. This is in fact a not so healthy way to do it, it may be right but not all the time.

As for me, I did take my midterms lightly because I know that I have understood the lessons given to me by those geeky professors. During the week of our midterm examinations, I cannot deny that I have always slept late but not because I was studying, it’s because I am making myself comfortable or perhaps relaxing my self for the next day’s examinations, call it mindset. I scanned my notes but not really studied everything on it, I just looked on some of the important topics and terms in which on the day of the exam, when you already know what that certain term means you will know how to improvise and answer it your own way but accurate enough to gain a score. Another thing, cramming is the worst thing a student would do, of course I would not exempt myself from it, but this practice makes your mind go twisting and turning to the point that what you knew already would confuse you.

The discovery of this my so-called solution is what everyone loves so much.. the most important factor of our lives, the one that keep on telling us that everything is going to be alright, our all time favorite, a sickness and a friend, lets just call it “Laziness”. Ha-ha! But of course, what I did on my exams is considered a controlled laziness. lol! Good luck!
