Perhaps Love (Is this love?)/ HowL & J
translation by: Jungie (also credit: aheeyah.com)

I don't remember when it happened.
I'd get dizzy just thinking about you.
Because my thoughts kept stretching, my heart was surprised.
It's a little awkward that I keep saying to you that "it's nothing"
and that "my heart's just trifling"

Is this love? And if you feel the same way, is this the beginning?
My heart keeps saying it loves you and the more the world listens
the louder it yells it.
Why is it just now that I hear it?
That the love has been found us so we might be together.

Even if I try to explain my feelings, the only true way to understand
would be to become me and feel them.
I'm already inside of you, just how you're inside of me.
I don't know if we've gotten used to the meaning between us.

Is this love? And if you feel the same way, is this the beginning?
My heart keeps saying it loves you and the more the world listens
the louder it yells it.
Why is it just now that I hear it?
That the love has been found us so we might be together.

Now that I think about it, there were so many moments of fluttering.
I'll make up for all the time lost.

I'll be with you and give you only good memories,
so in return you can't leave me.
Even the slightest moments make me feel uneasy
Stay with me

I'm loving you (until then)
like this (only you) already

that's it, that's my realization for the day...

oh, and did i say i cried buckets of tears again when i finally finished "I'm Sorry I Love you"? That drama series really got to me... So Ji Sub's acting is superb. i love it.. even though i was crying (as in hagulgol) while watching the last 30 minutes of the last episode...

i really don't know what to do...

i've been crying since last night.. i feel helpless...

please be ok... for your sake, for our sake, for the rest of the group's sake..

i don't know if i can continue with this torture...

sounds: Snowflake by Park Hyo Shin (I'm Sorry I Love You OST)
translated lyrics:
Suddenly as I followed your growing shadow
I was walking with you inside darkness.

As we hold hands until whenever that might be
Just being together makes me cry.

As the wind becomes colder, winter comes closer.
Little by little, on this path, comes the season when I had to let you go.

As I watch the first snowflowers of this year right now,
In this moment that we share together, I want to give you my all.
Do you know of my heart?

I wasn't always so weak, I'm loving you like this but
that's all my heart can do.

If I was by your side, no matter what the task may be
I feel as if I can do it. I get that feeling.

When the wind rattles my window and even the dark night awakens,
I'll erase even all your painful memories.
With that bright smile.

With these white snowflowers falling endlessly,
The sidewalk that we are walking on glows with a bright light,
without even knowing that it's changed.

Have I lived on for someone else?
Wanting to do everything for them, I learned that that was love.

If by chance I knew where you were,
I would've become a star in the winter sky and shined on you.

Even on days when you laugh and sad nights that are damp with tears,
I'll be by yourside always, whenever that may be.

As I watch the first snowflowers of this year right now,
In this moment that we share together, I want to give you my all.
Do you know of my heart?

Don't cry, look at me.
All I want to do is be together with you by your side.
I won't let you go this time.

Inside the snowflowers that fill this path and shower on us endlessly,
little by little, small memories are being drawn inside our hearts
Forever by my side you are there.

yes, i want to see him smile again. not the fake smile he flashes everyone, telling them he's ok... I want to see the smile like when he showed off bambi to the rest of the world, that smile that brightens up his face.

i know that he must put up a brave front for the other guys, but he's human too. he can cry if he wants. i don't want him holding back the tears even though the pain is already too much to handle. he's always the strong leader, but leaders are also human. i'm just so glad that the rest of the guys are there to lend him their everything.

i've been crying ever since the moment i heard about the news. this is the second time i cried because of them. they've been so much a part of my life that it hurts to know that one of them is hurting and suffering, both physically and emotionally. what's most depressing about it is i can't do anything, i'm helpless..

God, please let him be ok...

UAAP feels pinch of La Salle's absence

By Jasmine W. Payo, Francis Ochoa
Inquirer
Last updated 05:32am (Mla time) 07/20/2006

Published on page A24 of the July 20, 2006 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer

AT WHAT price does discipline come?

Whether the league admits it or not the University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) is feeling the pinch of De La Salle University's suspension, and most of it is coming from the cash registers.

Sponsors have backed out, venues have become smaller and live attendance is expected to shrink from last year.

According to an official from ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp., the television network that doubles as the UAAP's marketing arm, approximately half of the league's top advertisers have pulled out this season. The percentage as to how much La Salle's absence has to do with it is even greater.

"Admittedly, there are less advertisers because the landscape is different," Jojo Garcia, ABS-CBN's customer development head for sports, told the Inquirer. "Some clients cited the absence of La Salle, but it's also more than that."

He did not elaborate on the La Salle factor, but Garcia said the game venues chosen this season -- Ninoy Aquino Stadium and Rizal Coliseum -- also had a hand in turning away some of the UAAP's top advertisers.

"Both the venues are smaller," noted Garcia. "For some clients, it's different compared to Araneta (Coliseum) in terms of prestige and accessibility."

Raised eyebrows

The timing of the switch to smaller venues also raised eyebrows. Last season, the UAAP played the bulk of its games at both the Blue Eagle gym of Ateneo de Manila University and the Araneta Coliseum. This year, with La Salle serving out its suspension for fielding ineligible players in its basketball team in the last three seasons, there will be less games at the Big Dome.

UAAP secretary general Bren Perez of host University of the East says the switch of venues was coincidental.

"The PSC (Philippine Sports Commission) offered us the venues, through chairman Butch Ramirez," said Perez. "They invited both the UAAP and the NCAA to make it the home of both leagues. And we considered it because they gave us discounts."

And the league needs discounts where it can take them.

Among the missing notable sponsors who usually plunk millions worth of advertising money to the league coffers are Globe Telecom, a heavy advertiser during the college basketball tournament, Nestlé Philippines and Samsung Electronics Philippines Corp.

"We lost our top three clients, but we're still negotiating with others," said Garcia. "It's a work in progress. We have to move forward."

Globe, whose president is La Salle product Gerry Ablaza, usually competes with Smart Communications for advertising spots during the basketball tournament.

Nestle's ice cream product, meanwhile, institutionalized the cheer dance competition, a regular fare highly anticipated by college basketball followers.

Other top advertisers who have pulled out their spots are Mentos, Milo, Polo and Close-Up.

"We're currently selling the cheer dance competition," added Garcia. "Yes, it will be next month, but we're in the process of negotiation."

No figures were given as to how much both the UAAP and ABS-CBN stand to lose this season, but the price could be substantial.

Absent rivalry

Further hurting the league's profits is the absence of the blockbuster games between arch rivals Ateneo and La Salle, who meet at least twice every season. For the television carrier and for the league, every game between both squads is an automatic cash cow, not just through ticket sales.

Last year, Ford launched a new car model at halftime during the first-round match between the two glamour squads.

"We get spot buys for Ateneo-La Salle games," said Garcia. "There are also spot buys for games featuring other teams. But we can command better rates, the premium rates, for Ateneo-La Salle games."

Although league observers see a decline in attendance rates with no Ateneo-La Salle rivalry to look forward to, host University of the East still noted the strong opening-day attendance, which nearly reached the 15,000 mark.

"As far as attendance and the crowd is concerned, we had no problems on opening day," said Perez.

But numbers can sometimes be deceiving, especially if only the opening day weekend is concerned. Already, the league will be playing with a depleted schedule -- La Salle's absence means 14 less games.

The fact that the Archers bring a full-house crowd and that the Blue-versus-Green rivalry never fails to pack playing venues means that a fat chunk of the attendance rates just got flushed down the drain this season.

But the UAAP is willing to weather the financial storm, if only to prove there's no price too steep to pay for discipline.

"We have just renewed a five-year contract with ABS-CBN and there will be good years and not so good years," said UAAP board representative Anton Montinola of Far Eastern University. "They've earned from the Ateneo-La Salle games in the past and this year may not be a good one. So it will just average out."

Besides, as Perez puts it, "the league is still doing okay, we're moving on. We're doing our best as host, and so far, we're having no problems."

La Salle made the bed by fielding two ineligible players for three seasons, including during its championship year in 2004. Unfortunately, it's the league that has to find ways to sleep through the night on it.

I swear... being a fan-girl will be the death of me!

On Friday, some of my friends and I are going to Pasig to watch Jason film. And I'm like.. "Gawd! I'm not even a fan of the guy! Geez! If it weren't for Sam and 56 or 183 Club (make that the whole of JStar for that matter) I wouldn't be going all out."

But hey, it's been a while since my last "stalking" adventure. Around October last year... *thinks 183 Club*

Yay!!

Okay, I received this SMS from Lolit telling me the conversation she had with Jason. Well, she was the only one talking to Jason while Ces and I looked on. *we couldn't understand what they were sating, save for a few Chinese words here and there* Err... somehow, it made me happy knowing that we had to go through hell just to err... basta.

Here's the text message:
"Btw, di ko nasabi sa inyo kahapon, I acknowledge pagod ni jason kahapon, then sabi niya "I'm fine, kayo nga diyan pagod sa kakahabol sa akin::"     
-Lolit Choa 18 July 2006, 11:26am

I am happy that he acknowledged that, even though he was quite suplado at the hotel earlier. Haha... I guess it's just because he's without his older 56 brothers. Gash.. Jason Hsu... if I did not love your older brother this much, I wouldn't have gone to stalk you!!

Anyway, he signed the albums Ces and Lolit bought. Err.. I wasn't able to bring the albums I have, hay.. since I was in a hurry and all. But still, it was a fun experience. Haha!! Now I'm waiting for our JStar Mag and Wan Yu moment. Gash.. it's my 2nd time to be on a Taiwanese mag and Taiwanese TV show *gulp*

I just pray that they don't show it on 24Oras...
