Our Beloved Mama MAE! :)

Our Beloved Mama MAE! :)

                               

                               

                              

                                     
      
    This is Miss Maya Malanum, with a nickname "Mayapot", our beloved adviser as well as our 2nd mother in our lives. So first of all, I want to say Happy Mother's Day! Haha..oops! I mean, Happy Teacher's Day! :) We all know that Miss is still a single lady who is still in search for his "prince charming". She has these dream guys in Chris Lutz, Rob Reyes, etc. haha! But even though she's still single, she became our 2nd mother. She gave her time and full attention to her "children" at school, Grade 9 students. She shares her time with us, had bonding with us and shares happiness and drama with us! I want to thank Miss Mae for everything she shared with me and my classmates. She has been kind, caring, responsible, generous, understanding, and loving advise and mother to all of us! :) Even sometimes, we were naughty and childish, she still goes to the flow and had fun together! But she knows when to be serious and when to stop which makes her a versatile teacher. Inside the class, she taught us English lessons and the lessons that we need to learn in school. But besides that, we had fun while learning. We shares laughter, happiness, sometimes, sadness and a lot of drama! Haha! For me, Miss Mae is like a student too because she knows how to interact and live with us, students! What I will always remember about her is her words, "Chos!" and "Lurlur" Haha! She gives me lunch whenever I don't have lunch, treat us in many way, like food trip, watch PBA games live, in hanging out with class, and many more! I can also remember the time when she lent me something when I was in trouble (Miss Mae knows this, right Miss?), especially when we watched PBA Game 6 of the Finals. I ordered a lot because I was so hungry but my journey back home was the problem so she showed her kind heart to me and you know it Miss! "Sa uulitin po!" Haha joke! :D Far beyond English, Miss Mae taught me the value of life. I admit that Miss Mae changed my character and the way I treat my life. She taught me of being positive all the time and live our lives to the fullest because life is a wonderful blessing from our creator by sharing her blessings to us and sharing her knowledge to all of us. She did a lot for Grade 9. We will always cherish our times and moments with her. Miss Mae had made a difference this school year not only for me but for all us that's why she is a very special person tome and she will always be part of my life. I promise that when I take my journey to success in the future, I will give my credit to Miss Mae for giving me confidence and changing my character. Miss Mae will be part of my success, that's for sure! I will never forget the name "Mayapot"! Haha..you are such a great and inspiring adviser and mother to me! Whatever happens, stay happy and always smile because like what you did to us, being there on our side all the time whenever we need you, we will also do the same for you whenever you need us! :) We will always remember you and THANK YOU SO MUCH Mama MAE! Haha! :)

                         

                        

                        

                        

                       

                     

                                   



Seventh Heaven for the Champions! #BMegLlamados

Seventh Heaven for the Champions! #BMegLlamados

           First thing first. The disappointing loss of the BMEG Llamados versus the defending champions, Talk N Text Tropang Texters, during Game 6 was a lost opportunity for them to claim the coveted PBA title. It was really disappointing and frustrating because BMEG already had the game on their control at the beginning, where they led by 16 points before the TNT Nation just erased this deficit before halftime. At that moment, everybody thought that the balloons were going to fall from above and there will be a championship celebration later in the game. But the TNT just took that dream away from 20, 534 people and fans that watched the game live at Araneta Coliseum, including the 4 of us. I'm talking about our beloved Mama Mae, Miss Mae, Tim, Jf, and myself! :) I really enjoyed my time watching live Game 6 with them. It was memorable for me because it marked the first time where I watched a live game of PBA in the General Admission, the highest level in the venue, wherein you can barely see the players play and you can see them like ants because they seemed so small! Despite watching there, I still felt the "Finals atmosphere" where many fans are cheering, screaming, shouting, and any creative ways just to support their favorite team. Then you can hear the loud drums that made the game more intense!  Lastly, watching a Finals game was far different from watching a regular game in the eliminations because in the Finals, all plays are physical and every possession counts. You can witness drama and intense basketball. However, at that Game 6, it was a sorry loss for the BMEG Planet, including me :( because Talk N Text won it to avoid BMEG from being the champions. At first, it was frustrating and disappointing because I thought the game was Bmeg's game already, especially at the start where they led by 16 points but they were not able to maintain it and lost their composure. But still, it was fun and I spent a great time watching with Ms. Mae and friends, especially the time where we kept teasing each other since Ms. Mae and I were cheering for BMEG while those two "clowns" were cheering for Talk N Text. At the end, those "clowns" had the last laugh and for sure, they went home with a very big smile on their faces. 

                                

                      

                        

                                  

                          

                                    

                    


             The Game 7 of the PBA Finals had arrived. It is "All or Nothing" for both teams playing, BMEG vs Talk N Text, since the winner of the game will win it all, including the PBA title, while the loser will go home crying and with their heads down. Unfortunately, I was not able to watch that game live at Araneta Coliseum and I just witnessed the game at home. The crowd during Game 7 were more than expected and beat the record of Game 6's crowd with more than 21,ooo fans in attendance. In the beginning, the game was everybody's game wherein two teams were playing up and down scoring baskets at their respective hoops. The game was really close and as a viewer at home, it was tiring to watch because of the closeness of the game and the intense and physical plays. While watching it, I can say I was nervous because I really wanted BMEG to win the championship because I can say that they really worked hard and showed teamwork to reach this far. But unlike the last game, it was Talk N text who had the game under their control. TNT even led as much as 9 points in the 4th quarter with almost 6 minutes left in the game. At that moment, I was still hoping that there will be a miracle at the end. But some fans were losing hope and telling that it will be another championship for Talk N Text. But do not count out BMEG. With James Yap's 3 point shot, BMEG went close to TNT, 68-74, and they were still down 6 point with just 2 minutes remaining. That was the time where BMEG will show their will to win, their hunger to win a title again, and their determination to stop the Tropang Texters from capturing another title. BMEG shot crucial baskets at the end, where they went closer 74-76 with 1.2 seconds left in the game. Then here came the 2 heart-pumping free throws of Denzel "Monster" Bowles, which served to be his biggest shots of his life at the age of 23 with no experience yet in the professional level. He made the first one, as well as the 2nd one. That just tied the game at 76 all and they went to overtime. You can really see that the whole BMEG team were emotional after that 2 free throws of "Super Bowles" and they all hugged each other giving them hope to take the title away from TNT. In overtime, without the key players of Talk N Text, BMEG just paved their way and TNT cannot stop the domination of Denzel Bowles, who was very emotional and determined to lead BMEG into a championship. He scored the 11 points out of 14 points of BMEG in the overtime where they finally won, 90-84 and captured the PBA Commisioner's Cup. During the stretch, BMEG showed their "never say die attitude". They never gave up and just did the impossible! They made a comeback and did the miracle for the books. Many say that the game was classic and one for the books, which means it will be history. The game was so great that even Talk N Text team felt like winners too because many fans gave them a round of applause for making the series an interesting and a classic one. They also gave their best but it was BMEG who emerged triumphant and won the series 4-3. It was really a good treat for PBA fans where Talk N Text and BMEG showed their hearts of champions. At the end, Tim Cone captured his 14th PBA title, 1st title without Alaska, the very 1st of Denzel Bowles at the age of 23, and 3rd title of Big Game James Yap, the eventual Finals MVP.
