Well, well, well. I counted at least a dozen big clunky DSLR cameras in the Arina, este, The Arena during the Opening Day. This proves that the V-League isn’t just a hit for sports fans, but for sports photographers as well. Of course I’m sure that the dankal-length shorts (or p#k!p#k! shorts in gay lingo) has become a big factor as well. Super thanks to the multitude of photographers out there who make the effort to shoot and post their work. Here are some of the V-League volleyball action photos:

Post naman! so we can share em =P
sabihin ko sa kanya… in fairness, mababait naman sila, specially mitch… hehe
im waiting for charo to post her pics nga din, hehe. she also whipped out her big cam for the 2nd game =D
katuwa si pu, we saw her using charo’s camera…
News Flash from teledyaryo sports:
According to FEU’s coach, Wendy Anne Semana will not be playing at the Shakey’s V League since she will be concentrating on her beach volleyball career…
Rachel Anne Daquis “might” (still no final confirmation) not play as well since she will be visiting her mom this week in Germany. She will be there for 2 months.

sana after the nestea national finals, she’ll return to indoor volleyball, kahit sa v-league lang..
NYAY! Sayang naman kung walang semana at daquis… sino na lang papanoorin namin… pERO, THAT MEANS HIGHER CHANCES FOR CAFRANCA TO GET TO FEU’s STARTING SIX!!! YEY! sige ok na pala! Hahhaa!
I just saw the game on NBN and the opening ceremonies telecast was a disaster - from it’s audio to lighting and the camera angles. Sayang ang video at ang song number ni Bituin dahil walang audio sa tv coverage. It makes me wish sana sa Studio 23 na lang. But let’s see in the succeeding games…
Game 1: Ateneo vs. Lyceum
I would say Ateneo is not stronger this conference. Wala lang kasi si Sherilyn Carillo kaya ADMU finished Lyceum in 3 straight sets. Had Carillo been there, I would have given the game to Lyceum.
Boto was unstoppable and Soriano was as always very very reliable.
In a battle against guest players, Kanchana soared ahead against Cruz. Pu scored good numbers but I still am not in awe at how she plays. I wish the old Dahlia Cruz will get to its old form. Umitim yata sya at naging very fit…looks sexier hehehe.
During halftime pala, Bituin Escalante mentioned she is a big volleyball fan. Nanood siya sa dalawang games and she is rooting for Baste coz of Roces.
Yun lang heheheh.

hi otepus, kamusta na? long time that I haven’t heard from you. I was in the arena to watch the games, but me and my friend were disappointed with the kind game the four teams demonstrated. We are now predicting that it will be baste and adu will be in the finals, since feu will loose a couple players in their first six. I came to watch the game of the Benilde since they had a publicity of a japanese player as their guest player, it turned out to be mabbayad who is their guest player. The japanese player happens to be a student and regular player of Benilde. It was purely gimmick and publicity for people to watch the v-league.
GUYS—hindi ko napanood ang games ng v-league–for a couple of reasons— mahina ang reception ng nbn, laging delayed and broadcasting sa amin(im not sure sa ibang place), not live ang coverage ng games…
ummm,, suggestion ko lang poh, if its a possibility that thru spikeithard.com, we can petition para mapunta ang coverage rights sa studio23 or sa rpn-cs– kung pwede sana—
i believe that volleyball is getting a very nice popularity this times and i think the media has to play a very big role for the sport to be popular not only to teenagers but for all the volleyball fans out there—
i will keep my fingers crossed…
salamat and have a blessed day!!!

I think that would be impossible snitch, although it’s a good idea.
I suggest that the next best thing you can do, is to go up to your bubong and ikot-ikot your antenna until it gets good reception of NBN. Careful lang baka makuryente ka… HIkhik! Seriously, you can try that.

i watched it live and was hoping to enjoy the game but was really disappointed with how Benilde plays so i just kept on whining about how the games in the opening are so shitty and almost forgot that my favorite libero is just in front of me playing but yes,the pepito sisters are really noisy in the court,they kept on pepping up the team shouting name and instructions which is really cute kasi you can really see that they are a team and that theyre helping each other in court.siguru kasi wala pa si Baulee kaya sure silang magkakaintindihan sila kahit magsisigaw sila ng tagalog dun,hehe
[Reply]
thats really a bad news for me hehehe….well maybe semana really wanted to dominate the beach volleyball since she already proved herself in the indoor volleyball… pagbigyan na natin sina Daquis at Semana… i still believe that FEU can stilll make it, we still have morada, gonzaga, abanto and vivas plus jose and taganas,,, see buo parin ang ang first six plus the thai player…hehehe…. GO FEU prove yourselves that even without your two strong players you still can make it big in the v-league… hhhmmm i wonder who might be FEU next team captain…hehehe bago na lahat ng players…galing…
[Reply]
parang Model ka ng Gluthatione tapos di sha nagpropromote!!nag-Germany ang lola natin!kawawa naman active white..
gonzales is semana’s team mate in beach volley,will that mean na both of them will be absent during prelimination round?
Gonzales will play in the v-league…
Hmmm, I kinda like how Gearhead describes MJ. She’s like a “cross between Heart Evangelista and Mariel Rodriguez”, with a body like Maui Taylor’s daw.
[Reply]
oops, not the body po but more on the face. i mean sa bawat pics meron mariel ang dating, yung iba parang si heart naman, then meron din si maui hawig niya. kapag titigan mo siya parang composite nung mga yun ang ganda niya. baka maniwala yun na seksi na siya di na mag-reduce. hehe. di naman sa mataba siya ngayon, pero shed some baby fats lang siguro.
wala bang photo/s c su roces? missed her….
[Reply]
gwapo ni Su grabe.kahit bading kinikilig pag nagpapapicture sa kanya,ehhehe
oo nga. ung puso ko tumalon sa kagwapuhan niya! XD
hahaha, friend ko nga sya sa friendster…according to my officemates, ang gandang lalaki raw!?just read ung interview nya, sana current photos naman ang nilagay…sayang nga di ko mapanood ang replay sa nbn….action sana…may replay din sa gabi, hehe
@rio: friend ko din siya sa fs! haha:) ala lang.. hahaha
i had the chance to watch the opening ceremony and the first game of the league, and i was really disappointed due to some problems and flaws of the coverage! with regards the match between Ateneo and Lyceum, i must say that ateneo is not really a strong team to watch out as compared to what they showed during the last conference of the league, probably because there’s a big difference on how kesinee played defensively and offensively, as how kanchana played yesterday. nevertheless, kanchana contributed a lot that’s why ateneo defeated lyceum in a straight-sets period! i also noticed the big improvement of jarin and the awesome attacks coming from boto. surely, if ever carillo played yesterday with lyceum, there’s a big possibility that ateneo would have a difficulty in defeating lyceum…(”,)!
[Reply]
hoho nga…nakakadismaya ang opening…tuloy nagmukhang opening ng isang inter barangay ang opening ng v-league, twas a disaster… ako kay bituin di ako kumanta…ang cheap hahaha… mabuti nalang nabawi ng mga nagsipaglaro… first game maganda, second game, ang mga players ang magaganda hahaha….
ganda nya!!! hehe..
pro daquis pa rin aq..
hehe..

Daquis will fly tomorrow to visit her mom in germany but she might not stay long there because she still want to catch up the second round… congrats to fEU, twas a five setter but they performed well… first team to win in a five sets game hehehe… congrats uli…
[Reply]
i must say that the lady stags really came prepared for this conference of the league, although they haven’t really showed their real capacities, but the way each players performed during their game to st benilde, they really improved a lot especially devanadera, latigay and ancheta. another revelation was the proper blending of suzanne roces to the lady stags, just like what she did when she played as UST’s guest player. this might be the much awaited season of SSC-R in bagging the championship title…(”,)!
