AND 1: The value of one second

with the championship series between the ateneo blue eagles and the ust growling tigers still six days away, i revisited my old blog to look at some of the posts i had then about that ill-fated title run in season 69. there were plenty of interesting and at times "revealing" posts back then, but with the blog shut down for good, i just left them as they are, save for a few posts that i will be re-blogging here.

first of them is this quote which i got from my sister's bulletin board post in friendster (which was still the "in thing" in 2006) that somehow gave color to the final second of game 1 of the finals. of course, everyone knows what happened then. if not, the video below may be of great help.

To realize the value of one year, ask a student who failed a grade. 
To realize the value of one month, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby. 
To realize the value of one week, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper. 
To realize the value of one hour, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet. 
To realize the value of one minute, ask a person who just missed the train. 
To realize the value of one second, ask UST (University of Santo Tomas) coach Pido Jarencio and the UST Tigers who lost a game to Ateneo. 
Treasure every moment! 
Don't just read, reflect on it and share. 
Go blue eagles!
