FEU Triumphs in the UAAP Season 78 Senior Men's Basketball Finals

With the FEU Senior's Men's Basketball Team failing to beat the NU Bulldogs last year in their Season 77 Finals match up. Last December 2, 2015, the FEU Tamaraws again reached the UAAP Finals for the second time in a row. Now they are facing a strong and hungry UST team, led by their big 3 composed of Ed Daquioag, Kevin Ferrer, and Karim Abdul.

UST was on top of the game 59-53, during the last 4 minutes of the 4th quarter. Russel Escoto made a freethrow, while RR Pogoy gave FEU a boost in the dying minutes of the 4th quarter of Game 3, gaining 7 points in order carry their team to victory. UST's Kevin Ferrer missed 2 straight 3-point shots, that dissolved the Growling Tiger's chance of winning the Season 78 UAAP championship title. 

The Far Eastern University Tamaraws ended their 10 year championship drought, and won their 20th Championship in UAAP history. FEU Star Forward Mac Belo led the way with 23 points and 8 rebounds, and was named the UAAP Finals MVP, averaging a double-double of 17.3 points and 10.7 rebounds.

The Trendsetter

The way you look outside, gives others a perspective of who you are inside. These days, fashion trends come in different categories. Some of which are the retro look, sporty look, schoolgirl/schoolboy look, and the colorful look. Some of these are based from trends dating back to the 60's to the 80's. 

Teens like me are choosy when it comes to choosing the clothes that best fit our lifestyle. I am a very classy and athletic person, and that is why I choose the retro and sporty looks. I love wearing trendy clothing, but I always make sure that I am comfortable with what I am wearing. I also have to make sure that my clothes fit the shade of the shoes that I am wearing. Training, and basketball shoes are now becoming a fashion trend because of the different designs that attract everybody's attention. Some brands that sell the best sneakers of that kind are, "Jordan," "Nike," "New Balance," and all the other famous shoe brands we have always loved.

Unlike before, receiving socks as a gift is very "cheap." But now, we would be grateful for receiving a pair of socks as a gift. Especially when the socks are colorful and beautiful. Wearing socks that have nice designs are very attractive. 

Having the best kind of outfit is certainly a must, for adults, and mostly teenagers.

First Day in HK

Golden Hour(Sunset) at Victoria Harbor

 Last year of December, me and my family went to Hong Kong to celebrate New Year’s Eve there. Our first day was hell, our arrival was 3:00 pm lunch time and all of us were tired and hungry. So we ate at McDonald’s so we can head to the hotel immediately but after all the food we ate we ran out of energy as we look for the MTR(train) in the airport. After spending an hour looking for the train we went at the hotel and my mom and my sister took a nap while me and my dad decided to roam around at Victoria Harbor that is across the street.

Thats me on the right with my parents

We went to Victoria Harbor and took pictures of the harbor and when it was getting dark we went back to the hotel to fetch my mom and my sister so they can see the harbor. It was really cold on a windy night, I didn’t expect that it’ll be cold that month. After a million times of taking pictures at the harbor we went back to the hotel early so we can rest since we had a long day ahead of us.

Bring out the SWAG in you.

Streetwear is a fashion movement influenced by what is currently happening "on the streets". it is an inspiration from hip-hop and skateboarding fashion, people are given the chance to make their own looks. Streetwear fashion brings out our inner fashion stylist. Jeans, hoodies, baseball caps, tshirts and sneakers are the most evident pieces, with features of retro designs, bold colors and logos. 

I really love streetwear,because of its colors and very authenthic designs. the clothes maybe a little bit expensive but outcome is worth it, because you will surely look good not only that but also feel good. wearing streetwear gives me this so called "swag" that gives me confidence and ofcourse brighthen up my day. the other reasons why i like streetwear because it gives me the liberty to create my own looks.

Streetwear fashion is rapidly being exposed to alot of people most especially to the youth.

Sweet, Sweet Victory

What are ice creams?

Ice cream is a soft frozen food made with sweetened and flavored milk fat. It is a mixture of cream and milk. It is the definition of desserts.

Ice creams can be served to you in 2 ways:

1. By Cone

2. By Cup/Bowl

I am pretty sure everyone loves sweets, specifically ice cream. All of those wonderful flavors that you just cannot resist. Flavors like chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, cookies n' cream, etc... are so irresistible. There are also other flavors which is a mixture of different kind of flavors.Stores like Baskin-Robbins, Gelatissimo, Cold Stone, etc... are so attractive.

Ever since I was a kid, there was never a day that I did not want ice cream. Every time I see ice cream I always force my mom to buy me a cone or two. Of course as a kid who always eats ice cream, I was fat. But I never really regretted every bite I had in such a luscious and so majestic mixture of cream and milk. On top of everything we could add toppings and make our ice cream even more mouth watering.

Civil War: Who's side are you on?

So a few day's ago the trailer for Captain America Civil War was released and it was frikin beautiful. After a series of Marvel movies one after the other the idea of superheroes started to become too bland for my taste. But this movie in particular got me interested because it isn't a movie about a supervillain thinking of taking over the world or some cliche stuff like that. This is about heroes with different ideologies battling it out with each other. Judging from the trailer, I'm guessing the story is about Cap's friend Bucky and how he is being hunted by S.H.I.E.L.D for being a bad guy. Now Captain America, being a good friend and all, decides to help his friend out to clear his name or just help him get away. Because of this Captain America is seen as an enemy and S.H.I.E.L.D goes on an all-out manhunt for Cap. Tony Stark(Iron Man), a good friend of Cap, has to go hunt him down. Because of Captain America's good principle, He does not want his friend Bucky to be pursued. So this means that one of them will have to go down. This will bring emotional tension between the two and I think this is just heartbreaking.

 I like this type of setting made because there is no good or bad in this situation, it will all depend on how you interpret it. Watch the trailer here: Civil War Trailer. I have not read the comics about this but apparently Spider-man is supposed to be in this. He isn't seen in the trailer but I am confident that he will be in the movie. According to the Comics Spidey will be a major plot point in determining who will come out victorious between Team Captain America and Team Iron Man. We may not have seen Spidey in the trailer but at least we got to see Black Panther and if you look closely, in one frame you can see Ant-mans helmet which indicates that he will be in the movie too?? maybe. probably.hopefully. I'm not sure I don't read the comics. I'm going for Team Cap simply because what he's doing is for the
sake of his very close friend Bucky. Even with his own former colleagues coming after him he is willing to risk it all for Bucky. Geez why don't they get married too while they're at it. But I can't help but feel bad for Iron Man because he himself lost Captain America. I give this upcoming movie a Spider/10 because no spidey.
