What's it like to be a loser?

Last night was one of the most terrible nights in the history of the taysan superstars. After successfully winning six consecutive games in the past weeks, my team experienced the unimaginable..we lost. I must admit, the game was so predictable during the first half of the game because the opponent (the name is not important) kept on gaining on us, but during the second half, we found hope. Our team finally got even. Unfortunately, during the last minutes of the game, our hopes of being victorious were shattered. I don't want to give you the details, but the conclusion is..we lost the game. It was awful. It was our first time to lose. But lighter side is that after that dreadful night, we did not only learned a lesson, but we also became stronger. Failures make people better and grow stronger. Our players already had a taste of failure, so I hope that the next time they battle, they learn from their mistakes and emerge victorious. The feeling of being a loser was unexplainably(?) awful and accepting defeat is not as easy as it sounds, but being a loser pulled us one step closer to reality: There is always someone greater than oneself. As they say, "to be a winner, one must first learn how to be a loser."

the cutest little girl singing on Ellen!!!

I just stumbled upon this really cute video on youtube of a little girl singing all the US states in alphabetical order. She is 3 years old and she's just soooo cute!!! I hope you guys can watch it!

if a restiveness, like light and cloud shadow passes over your hands

sa sa mga paborito kong pinoy na salita ang…

bukang liwayway - sunrise. ano ba ang literal meaning ng salitang ito? “break of dawn”, siguro. bukang liwayway, bukang liwayway, bukang liwayway. banggitin mo ng banggitin at matutuwa ka dahil punong puno ito ng pangako at kahulugan. pero pag naririnig ko ang salitang ito, naalala ko si elias na namatay na di man lang nasinagan ang bukang liwayway. medyo corny nga for a dying man to say, but what the heck. here are his last words…

“I die without seeing the dawn brighten over my native land! You, who have it to see, welcome it–and forget not those who have fallen during the night!”

actually, mas maganda itong pakinggan sa tagalog. teka nga at ma-translate…

“mamamatay akong di man lang nasilayan ng aking bayan ang bukang liwayway! kayong mga nakakita ng liwanag: salubungin ninyo ito ng masaganang palakpakan — at huwag ninyong kalimutang tulungan ang mga tangang nadapa nung kinagabihan dahil wala silang dalang mga flashlight!”

hahaha...patawa!

minsan din, ang maaalala ko sa salitang “bukang liwayway” ay ang pinoy magazine na “liwayway“. sikat ito nung araw. dito mababasa ang mga kwento ng isa sa mga paborito kong cartoon characters - si kenkoy. 1922 pala nung magsimula itong ma publish. nakakalungkot nga na marami nang nagsara na mga publication companies. tinalikuran na kasi natin ang mga komiks at magazine na gawang pinoy nung sumikat ang tv at internet. sayang.

Fun with Flickr

2. Type in your answer to the question in the "search" box

3. Use only the first page

4. Copy the html and paste for the answer

(for your 411, there's such a place called Masai Mara--tourist destination in Africa (or is it south america??)
