SAVA SPRINTS is a new and different dragon boat competition which is intended to form an integral part of the annual dragon boat calendar. The competition distance is a short 250 metres, the shortest race in Singapore, hence the description "SPRINT". From an explosive start, the races engage the teams in a rapid pace taxing the paddlers anaerobic systems to the max. The purpose of the SAVA SPRINTS is to draw the whole dragon boat community together in a fun atmosphere, where team can pit against team, paddler mix with paddler, and competition, although for some intense, encourages community bonding. A fellowship of paddlers. The SAVA SPRINTS is supported by the Singapore Sports Council, Singapore Pools as partner in sports,and endorsed by the Singapore Dragon Boat Association.

Pyros (a scrapbook post)

Ang daming press release ng Team Pyros ngayon...kagabi lang ay na-feature si Kap Roel sa News Central ng Studio 23...na-interview sina Kap Roel at yung ibang Pyros tungkol sa team at sa upcoming race sa Singapore. Oo, hindi ko ito napanuod. Haha. Pauwi kasi ako nuon mula sa opisina...di ko na naabutan sa TV. :)

Ito si Kap Roel. Kinunan ang larawan na ito nung 1st Leg Regatta nung June pa...nandito pa si Lala sa pic o :)

At dahil din sa efforts ni Borgz na magbigay ng PR writeup, nalabas ang team sa sports section ng Manila Standard kahapon, at lalabas din daw sa Manila Bulletin ngayon! Maliban pa ito sa front page picture ng Pyros na nilabas din sa Manila Standard dati...



Wala lang. Masaya. :)

Just a minute

I sold my soul for the second time
Cos the man, he don't pay me
I begged my landlord for some more time
He said "Son, the bill's waiting"

Oasis, The Importance of Being Idle

So I really wanted to be positive. You know, have that 'we-can-change-the-world, let's-start-with-ourselves' attitude. Volunteer, make a difference, make someone's life better. But I guess today is one of those 'what the f*?' moments.

Today, I am tired, but not physically tired. I just feel that...my patience is really thin. Darn. I just dragged two Barbie dolls and 3 nalgene bottles around the metro, and after all that, I decided to stand up the person I'm supposed to give them to. (It's a long story). My stuff's in disarray, and I don't really care if all the information the customer wants to put on the HTML table I'm working on doesn't fit on one single page. Kaya nga may scrollbar no, gamitin nyo naman.

I just want to go on vacation. But I have to finish this.

But I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine
If you give me a minute
A man's got a limit
You cant get a life if your hearts' not in it

Yep. Just give me a minute. I'll get the hang of it. I have to.

Faith, Hope and Love

Yesterday, I managed to catch a bit of Charlotte Gray on HBO.

Charlotte Gray was training to be a spy, and her trainor asked her, "What is the most important? Faith, hope, or love?"

Charlotte pauses for a while, and replies with a smile, "Hope."

And it is with hope that we must face the future. As someone said, "Without hope, faith is hollow. Without hope, love will not last."

Hope we must, for a better future.

And we'll do whatever it takes to keep that hope alive.
