magandang simula kaya ito?

i actually did it. went to the arena in san juan, took down notes as the four big teams in college basketball in the philippines, after besting all the other cool basketball universities from all over the country, slugged it out for national glory and a chance to represent the country in the world collegiate basketball championships in serbia in 2009.

yes, i was there! given the awesome privilege of doing what i love most: writing about sports from ringside!!!

like i said, wimbledon, i'll get to see you still one day --- as an accredited journalist!

wait, before i get ahead of myself, let's just hope that i can sustain this and that my editors think i'm worth keeping... so your prayers and best wishes are, of course, most needed and appreciated. you can read about my fledgling efforts HERE

moving on to freer pastures

all entries and comments, intact, but outside of a paid domain… over at Svelte Loves Sport. as with all my blogging ventures, this site will be attired in simple, basic colours until the magic man weaves his wand over the entire place. let’s not cease to believe in the power of miracles! :) expect this site to go down in a day or two… if you’re still around, i hope to see you sniffing around the other place soon!

wait for my first ever sports article on the philippine collegiate championships, or PCC, covered exclusively by inboundpass.com. i haven’t written about basketball ever — and this will be my trial by fire.

who would have thought that the first step towards realising the burning desire to be a sportswriter would begin with — *gulp!* — a gig in basketball writing?

i say, pass the ball, go for the fastbreak and set up the 10-2 run, sveltie baby!
