Something miraculous happened today: the UP men's basketball team won the first two consecutive games of the season, which hasn't happened since 2005; and they beat DLSU for the first time in six years.
This win can't just be luck, it's most definitely a combination of better coaching, individually talented individuals, teamwork, and rigorous training. It's been years, but that just goes to show that excellence isn't immediate: it's earned through hard work, one day at a time. I hope they keep up this trend; nevertheless, I'm keeping this memento of how, in my lifetime, UP was on top of the basketball leaderboards of the UAAP! ;)
Tomorrow, I'm beginning a battle of my own.
We can still keep hoping, and working together, for a better Philippines. Praying for a wiser electorate this 2016, and a leader who will have the country's best interests as his/her top priority, and not selfish ambitions.
I felt privileged to have been part of the launch of #BilangPilipino this morning, TV5's media campaign that encourages awareness through high-tech and accurate coverage for better discernment. It's been a while, but I got choked up singing our arrangement of Bayan Ko and Impossible Dream. I love this country so much, I hate seeing it/us in self-destruction. Praying for bigger and better futures for us all!
It was also our first gig with Anthony :)
