Bucks in Six

 

Like what I have scribbled in a previous post, almost everyone I know wanted the Phoenix Suns to win the NBA Finals and I on the other hand were cheering for the opposing team, the Milwaukee Bucks. The Best of Seven series started with a 2-0 lead by the Valley Team. With the rate they were playing, I only wished for a No Sweep. Then the Deer team bagged games 3 and 4 respectively, it was still a hard climb, to win four straight games knowing how Booker and the rest were damn good in outside and paint shots. 

Nonetheless, the Bucks proved how awesome they were in transition as they never faltered and maintained their calm and clever poise on court. Crucial steals and clutch shots from Holiday and Middleton, no-nonsense defense by Tucker and of course open pores, Giannis' silent yet powerful leadership and dominance on court led the Milwaukee green team for a homecourt win. The Greek Freak scored 50 points for the city's NBA ring after 50 years. What an epic fate!!!

The vampire lover aptly predicted "Bucks in Six"!!! He was damn right. Hmmm,maybe I underestimated his hoops knowledge.:)

Now I miss NBA on boob tube, no more basketball to watch. For the meantime, I stay glued for Tokyo Olympic games. Fight, USA!!! Laban, Pilipinas!!!!

 A buddy told me I should have made a bet as I was vocal from the playoffs my gut feel that 2021 is Milwaukee's year. However, the last time I made a bet on a Finals series, 20$ was not only the one at stake, my heart and life too. So no bet was made this time.

Thank you Bucks for making my heart scream with delight.You proved my choice right!:) Congratulations to all especially to Giannis who completed and accomplished Kobe's challenge to him. I will keep on watching NBA as long as there are players and teams that can impress and entertain me.

NBA 2021. Champions. Bucks.

Be With Pipz Who Care For You

I am loved irrevocably by someone, cared for unconditionally by a handful of people, inspired constantly by these two. Life is pretty...like me!!! LOL!!!

Seriously, my heart is full. Faith, hope and love remains.
 

Cousins. Friends. Sisters.

Then My Heart Beats for the Bucks

 Almost everyone I know who is glued to the NBA Finals is rooting for the Phoenix Suns mainly because of Devin Booker. THE young guy is amazing, bar none. His good looks just add superficial point to his jaw-dropping moves and hoops on court. While watching Game 3 today, Kobe's signature turns and twists were sooo present in Booker I kinda thought he was possessed by Black Mamba.

As I am always the odd one out and always opts for the least choice, I go for the Milwaukee Bucks to win the 2021 ring. I like Giannis really, someone made me curious about him more than a year ago and so I followed his career sporadically. Giannis is a "silent superstar", he is a team player, never selfish to pass the ball. Confident enough to block the opponent's shots and make points on the paint as needed. 

Khris Middleton!!! You are remarkably making an impression on me dude!!!  How I admire and remember clutch players. You are showing consistency on this aspect, keep it up.

Will the Suns vow and fear the Deer??? Let's see and find out in the next games. 2-2 standing, oh so exciting.It is down now to  a best of 3 series. 

Truth to tell, setting my feet on one quiet day at the Fiserv Forum kinda makes me tied to the Bucks.Haha!! I am that shallow and sentimental type of lass.:)

Cacti vs Cheese. 

I will be a spectator sitting gingerly on my denim sleeper sofa with Mojito and chocolates beside me.

I bet my pwet though that this time, no vigil candles will be lighted, no million decibel scream will be heard because after all, Lakers and Kobe are out.:(

Basketball. NBA. Passion.

Dear Heart

 You have not been well lately, you are shattered and abandoned even. It is excruciatingly painful to the point of numbness, I wonder how you can manage to lub-dub. In acute conditions medically, ice is applied to the injury, but please don't be cold-hearted and jaded. Rest for awhile in the company of solitude, honor the loss and emptiness. Be still. I cannot dictate you as to who shall you give your affection. Love moves in mysterious ways, remember.It is not your fault you are naive and vulnerable. Promise me, you won't make a 360 degree turn and transform to cynicism. The warmth of love will ignite the flame of hope and affection once again, someday. Let us not rush and plunge to a bigger error of rebound. You and I will heal together.

I am proud of you, coz no matter how bruised and bent you are, you continue to beat, oftentimes with ill fluctuations though.  Dear Heart, refrain from regretting the risks and danger you endured just to show someone how much you loved, your huge capacity to be selfless and gave it all.  Stay strong, all shall be well. You will have the normal sinus rhythm when the right time occurs.

On 2009, when I initiated my Twitter account, my tagline was "Life and love are intertwined. " One can't exist without the other. I still believe in that. 

Like what our dear Taylor sings, "Soon you'll get better." You will heart, you have me. We will make this happen. Time heals everything, let us give time some time. Be gentle to yourself. For the meantime,allow me to cry now and then, ok.You my heart is the sole witness as to what I have to overcome to survive and surpass the oh-so slow agonizing days and hours.

And these lines from Ate Kris say it all: 

Honor the pain.

Love hurts. But true love heals.

Heart. Love. Life.

Happy 51st Birthday, Ate Tonette!!!

 

For listening to the unspoken words

For staying when others opted to leave

For loving me more when I was at my worst

For praying for me tirelessly

For sobbing when I am on the verge of tears

For wanting to fight for me with all the gut-wrenching voicemails

For assuring me of your loyalty

For making time for me always despite the time zone difference

For saying the words that I needed to hear even if they hurt

For encouraging me to stay strong 

For respecting my decisions in the end

For caring for me, with no ifs and buts

For laughing with me no matter the hardships

FOR LOVING ME AS YOUR DANDA.

Thank you. Thank you my dearest Ate Tonette.

No matter how my heart echoes betrayal lately, it still beats flutters of gratefulness and hope because of you. No matter how the public perceives how bad_ss I am, your care and love makes me feel I must have done something good anyhow, to deserve a kind-hearted yet fierce, selfless yet strong, humble yet courageous woman like you to be my friend and sister.

Happy birthday Ate. You deserve much love, joy, prosperity, peace of mind and care.

I love you so much. Until we see each other soon.

Cheers to the world!!!!

Ate Tonette. Sister. Real.
