Last April 15, 2004 at P. Campa Branch Manila Was My First Stopover of My Part 2 of Mcdonalds Tour, Aiming to Surpass My Best Record as the Holder of Most Mcdonalds Receipts Representing Every Branch in the Philippines.(139 receipts covering 139 Branches.
With Proper Coordination from Mcdonalds Philippines and Main Office U.S.A., I was warmly Welcome By No Less Than Ronald Mcdonald, and even the store Manager and Crews at Mcdonalds P.Campa Branch. They were so Very Supportive in My inclination. and in fact was so pleased in My Own Effort.
For the Duration of two years(April 15, 2004 to April 15 2006)I Only Garnered A total of 109 receipts, 30 receipts Short of My Best Record.
Inspite of this, I should say, "I Lost Nothing" I Just Enjoy doing this, and in fact, I Keep Doing.......

The Crying Power Forward

In The Philippine Basketball Association(PBA), no wonder it is an open Book that I am A Diehard Fan of Ginebra Team.

Alvin Patrimonio of Purefoods team, One of the Only Two Four Time MVP, and One of the PBA's 25 Greatest Player of all time is the Man on the court whom I Hated Most Since Turning Pro in 1988. He is for Me a Soreye Everytime I Saw Him On Playing Court Against My Favorite team. That's why When Alvin Won Major and Minor Awards and championships, It Boils Up My Temper.
He is Perfectly Known as The Captain, The go to Guy of His Team Because of His Sharpshooting capacity and Bullish Attack to the basket.But more than this, I Dubbed Him as "The Crying Power Forward" for Often Crying when receiving recognition Award such as MVP Award.
February 19, 2003, Upon our chance Encounter at the Activity Area at SM Megamall, I Lost no Time, I Approach Alvin Confort and Told Him He is not Worthy to Receive an Special Award of 500 Consecutive Games in The PBA for My Own Reason.
It is at this moment that I know The Real Alvin Patrimonio. When we Confront Somebody and insist something normally, the Reaction would Be rough, But Alvin Remain so calm. He treated Me as Somebody I Really Feel the Value He shared on Me even the Presence of some VIP'S and Co-Players. the Time He spent on Me Everstrange to Him is Enough to Prove that He Really has the heart of True Champion, A true Man indeed, The real Emblem of a a sportsman in this Generation.
Regrets will Always surface in the End. yes its true I really feel regrets. great regrets is the Word. How Could I make up Those Moments?.

Fan of the Day

Doing something to an Organization which is extremely significant will really paid off.

My self Has been closely Attached to the World of Basketball eversince. Personalities involve both active and inactive, records, trivia, events Have registered in My memory. some Dubbed Me as The walking Encylopedia of basketball while others Have mistakenly Identified Me as Abnormally Obsessed on the Sports I Love Most.

The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) is the Pioneer of Professional basketball in Asia. April 9, 2003 Was 29th Anniverssary, it was during this occassion wherein My being Fanatic to the PBA Have Been Paid off. before to this event, I Wrote to the League Reminding them the important date (April 9) as the occassion of Their 29th Anniverssary. recognizing My Effort, The PBA Invited Me to be there at the venue and I Was so Amaze when The PBA Commissioner Noli Eala Announce at the center court (Together with Me) to the viewing Public at the Philsport Arena and Millions Watching on Their TV Screen that I was The Greatest Fan on the Occassion of 29th anniverssary of the PBA. As A Taken of appreciation the PBA Furnished Me some PBA items specially The 25 Year PBA Annual.What is Most Exciting is the Fact that I Was given the chance to sit on The Bench on My favorite team (Ginebra Gin Kings) will clash against Alaska Aces that Time.

It was such A Memorable and fullfilling Experience in My Life.
