FALLING OUT

Sad news: Koy Banal has left the San Beda Red Lions.

Quite an odd development, an uproar can be heard from all sides of the Bedan Community. It came as a surprise to us all, thinking all this while that we will come into the title defense intact and formidable. It is indeed sad that the mentor himself has decided to leave. The buzz has been going around for months. The team managers and the rest of the community was asking from Banal his full attention and dedication to the team. The condition to the renewal of his contract with San Beda, was to give up either his post as Assistant Coach of PBA team Purefoods or being Head Coach of PBL Team Magnolia. After a long searching process, Banal opted to continue with the San Miguel franchises in the PBA and PBL.

Now, the Bedan faithful now begin to think twice about the supremacy of the Red Lions next season. What now?

I say, do not despair. San Beda waited 28 years for an NCAA Seniors BAsketball Championship.This is but a minor thorn towards the Back to Back championship. All things are stil the same, nothing will stop us in our tracks. Time to show the true heart of a champion!

Thank you Coach Koy. Best of luck to you.

CHICK FLICK WEEKEND



I went out with my best friend last Saturday to see the latest chick flick "The Holiday" starring Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jack Black and JUDE LAW! It was a great movie, loved the story. But most of all, I just remember I had such a big crush on Jude Law. It's funny that it is only now that I developed a huge crush on a Hollywood celebrity. I swear I was blushing in the dark halls of SM Megamall Cinema 12 while watching Jude Law flash his smile with Cameron Diaz, his love interest, across the room. We felt like highschool girls watching 21 Jumpstreet or New Kids on the Block. For the record, though, when that cult TV show and that Boyband were such huge hits, I didn't go gaga over them.



Anyway, the day before that, I saw Music and Lyrics starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. Another really cute movie! It was a treat watching Hugh Grant strut his stuff as a has been 80's hit. He also recorded a song called "Way Back Into Love," which I'd have to say is a really catchy tune, something Jessica Simpson would sing. Another interesting cut in the soundtrack, is the new wave inspired tune, "Pop Goes My Heart." When I heard it, I kept thinking that I heard this song before. It really sounded like it was recorded in the 80s, alongside, Duran Duran, TEars for Fears, and yes, Eurythmics...

Watch these chick flicks, you won't regret it :)
