 -Up Close & Personal - [The Way I Love It]

My media buds Paul Ryan Tan [in the LCD] and Jane Yvette Bracher are both USTe grads.  We all see each other very often during Sports Events. Paul shoots, Jane writes [contrary to what the photo suggests].

These prides of Tigresses [3 images below] [all former & current booters] are part of my "UAAP Family", in a manner of speaking.

- Bagets na Bagets si Coach Bob !!! -

Aina, Nona, Coach Bob, Cam, and Maan dropped by FEU, Diliman, last Sunday [the 19th] {coming from the ADM-DLSU Womens' Fball match at Ateneo {1-1}, to "make isyoso" the UST-FEU Womens' Football match.  Knowing me, I never [EVER] would let these people leave, without, at least, some soulful snaps --  These guys are so used to my "diskarte" na so it's quite easy to craft  "blogworthy" images of them 24/7.

Sana sinama niyo sila Julia, Milka, Kimbo, Gely, Jill, Gerwin, Cecille, Camille, JJ, Leah & the rest of the Team !! -I've missed U all since Dec.20 !! - -You're just my favorite WFootball Team -  Labs ko kayong lahat !!  {Toni Nolasco and the Lady Archers - Labs ko kayo next } .....

FYI - AS of this writing - The Ateneo and UST Womens' Football Teams are currently atop the rankings.

PS  - Truth IS

Over the weekend -when these images were taken - { I missed a lot of shots - I even came 2 hours late to an event, albeit w a VALID reason - had to bring someone to the ER !! - } Then, there was this last-minute cancellation[ergo - postponement] of a match [of a client of mine, which I had to take HD Videos of] which F___ UP my Whole Weekend sked - as a result,  I missed two PBA matches !! [Tang Ina !!]  

My Weekends are usually LITERALLY de numero, w/ match skeds and veneus all cramped together AND overlapping - The trick is to "prioritize" before hand and be way, way early before the Call Times. 

Still, missing matches will always be UNAVOIDABLE - w/ the UAAP Volleyball, Football, Softball, Baseball  tourneys going on at the same time in several venues [not to mention the UFL and PBA - too], and my having acquiantances and friends I ACHE to SUPPORT, to the Max ! - all over these tourneys - Nakakapikon talaga - Pero - Anong magagawa ko ??  I can't be in 2-3 places at the same time  ........

Still, my Impossible Dream --> to have->LITERALLY 2-3 Clones - Remains -Hahaha !

 {BTW -There's more where these came from - these are just random pix from twosomes, threesomes series/group shots series etc. etc. ..   } will add a few more - soon -Hope it's not Overkill, tho  ...
