Waking up early VERSUS Waking up late

I’m a sore sleeper. The more time I lay on my bed, the happier I am. (Well, I hope i am not alone with this habit) When I was still a child, my mother and father oftentimes had to shout at me (with my bro and sis) just to let me or us stand at our feet and wake-up. But oftentimes, a shout is not just good enough. So, there I am, daydreaming and trying to catch a sleep again and again and again. Thus oftentimes also, I woke up shocked with my mom or dad already beside me with ”pamalo”(whip) to serve my unpleasant breakfast meal.

I could still recall the time when my mom threatened to pour water on me if I dont wake up, yet i just grabbed a pillow and covered my ears and savour my time in bed, as if i dont hear anything. And true enough, my mother brought a dipper full of water. Fortunately, I was able to jump on my feet and run direct to the comfort room and take my bath! (Good thing, i often watch Jackie Chan movies and that helped me with the escape and evasion :-)

A father of one daughter, sometimes I still struggle to wake up early. Why? I’m a comfort-oriented man and lying in bed just makes me feel relaxed. The picture of just embracing a pillow and minding no time envies me. I sometimes sleep even til 12 noon because back in my mind, i always think that I need to cope with the many latenight works and movie marathons i do.

However, I always strive to wake up before sunrise. “Early to bed, early to rise makes a man wise.” Thats how i always remind myself everytime i struggle on waking up before the sun does. Why do i force myself to wake up early? First, I feel active. My body seemed to be 100% fully awake and 100% ready to take any task everytime I’m up early. Second, I feel rejuvinated. The morning breeze brought maybe by the plants that surround me refreshed my mind and my nerves. Its a morning theraphy. Third, I could prepare early for work thus getting rid being rushed, which really irrates me and my wife often, and i get rid of the ever time consuming and totally annoying TRAFFIC. Lastly, i fight to wake up early because i get to eat my breakfast on time. Breakfast is the most important meal but if i wake up late, i skip breakfast (bad cheetah!)

So even if its against my will, i wake up early.

LA Lakers versus Boston Celtics

Im an avid fan of Los Angeles Lakers since time of Magic Johnson. That was the same time when Lakers contend with its favorite all time “favorite” rival Boston Celtics. Now comes again another chance of proving who’s the better team. Could it be the Lakers this time or Boston Celtics? Does Phil Jacksons strategy or presence of Pau Gasol and agility of Kobe Brynant beat the power of Kevin Garnet and the tremendous performances of Paul Pierce and Rey Allen? Who could win it this time?

Before the Semi-finals started, i thought LA could make a sweep win over the Celtics. But as i heard the news early this morning that LA was beaten by the C’s in the 2nd game, i simply could not believe it. Kobe could have been injured, i contend :-)

I watched a replay of the 2nd game later this day and saw the whole game. WHOA? I think i underestimated Boston! They have very good players! Not one in a time they had an inefficient pro in that court!

Yet, “it aint over till its over” they say. Who could really win this game? excited to watch the Game 3 on the next day to follow.

GAME 3

My LA team won. BUt even if they won the game, their teamwork wasn’t that commendable. It seemed they lack something,

Game 4

I have only watched the first half and LA LAkers had tremendous performance. Odom was in charge on the first quarter, and everybody in the team was fabolous. “This is a sure win”, I thought. Unfortunately, my brother in law informed me that LA lost 97-91. I dont know what went wrong, everything was great on the 1st and 2nd quarter. I’ll have to find out.

Obama versus Hillary?

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton’s campaign for Presidency was a nice contest to follow, not until Hillary concede and instead campaigned for Obama. But if she dint gave up, who could win the Presidency? or simply said, who is better?
