hindi ba si Magnaye ssetter daw nila according to Jessie,sha naman kasi reserve setter ng FEU last year kaya marami na cguru sha napulot kay jessie kung sha man..

nanghihinayang sila dating gamitin as setter si magnaye. anyhoo, ang sabi ng kaibigan ko na taga-feu, 4-2 na ang laro ng feu. totoo ba ‘yon?

4-2 ung dalawang setter ang nasa loob ng court,tapos may isang setter lagi sa front row ung dalwang katabi nya attacker,dapat 6-2 naman wherein ung setter sa backrow ang nagseset at ung setter sa frontrow pumapalo rin..

yes, i’m aware of that, but here in the phils, they call it “4-2.” ilang beses na akong kinorek when i kept saying “6-2″ so for the sake everyone understanding me, i stuck to “4-2″ ^^

anyhoohoo, i watched two games again this afternoon. i was only able to catch the 5th set of the match between rtu and klownz when i came in. i must say, the color-combo jersey of klownz looks pretty sappy to me.
interesting army-air force match. the army packed a lot of firepower, but they didn’t have a consistent floor defense (bunag and the carolino sisters couldn’t control the ball well). when they brought in laguilles for boto, it was a big turnaround. they not only improved their digging and reception, but the air force started crumbling floor-defense wise (though laguilles didn’t get much sets from salak and iratay). it’s interesting to see some of the guys swapping positions (balse and bunag, lilet mabbayad and that certain josh), but somehow for me it reflected a crumbling defense because they kept putting the power hitters on the outside hitting position. i didn’t see a lot of combination plays or effective quick sets (however, there were quite a lot of slide hits, even from some regular outside hitters).
some grumbling of mine: while i was watching today, i kept hearing a lot of arrogant and ignorant comments from gals seated behind me. i mean, tama ba namang sabihin “hay naku, labas-pasok si hannah (suarez), parang tanga.” helleur!? líbero kaya siya? grrrr! and they even went further, “palitan na nga ‘yan si hannah, puro error”, “panira talaga ‘yang hannah na ‘yan”, yadah yadah yadah. gusto kong sabihin “ay alam ko na, mga inday. kaya si hannah ang laging nakikita ninyo dahil sa ka-engotan ninyo ay ang ‘yung damit lang niyang naiiba sa iba ang napapansin ninyo. hala, balik sa kusina!”
and then there were two guys yesterday who were criticizing the RP YOUTH team. “ay ang tanga! malapit na ang olympics, tapos ganiyan ang laro nila?”, said one. sagot ‘yung isa, “sila ba ang national team?” “oo pinalitan ‘yung buong team e.” sabay banat ng “hindi ba kailangan champion ka sa asian games para makapaglaro sa olympics?” “oo nga, sila ang champion!”
oh my days! give me strength!

sabihin mo sa kanila,mali sila,kasi last week,may glossary of terms ako ng balibol at 6′2 ahy offensive setter ung nasa front row while 4′2 is 2 setters naman pero setters dont attack..saka si Mozzy Ravena,lagi nya dinidifferenciate ung 6′2 at 4′2 pag pumapasok si Agero ng Benilde,naka 6′2 ang benilde kasi pinapapalo ni Agero si Maranan.

pagpasensyahan mo na ang mga bata,alam mo naman,kulang talaga sa publicity volleyball natin kaya mislead lahat ng mga tao,rp youth team nga eh naglalaro sa standard women’s net eh dapat highschool net lang sila,kaya dehadao talaga sila,pero thnx sa mga updates,buti may nakakapanuod at naguupdate samin,wala lang talaga tv coverage,dapat pina-cover na rin ni Allan K at Gma para di namn puro Pakyaw match tayo,ung may finesse na man na sports,ehehhe

yes, i did try to correct them. pero what can i do? mismong coach ng women’s team dati ng feu at dating player din sa feu ang ayaw patalo sa akin.
i was only able to see the men’s battle for third this morning and i had to rush back home. the philippine navy were taller but they made a lot of unforced errors. the army’s líbero (kenneth manahan, ex-feu líbero) was very bad. he was not even a receiver on several rotations, having to stand behind the two outside hitters and the opposite hitter, who all were the primary receivers. he made a lot of errors, and edjet mabbayad was better than him. nonetheless his team won. (da best talaga si edjet mabbayad. it’s unfortunate he wasn’t given sets to the backrow).

nandun kaya ung taging naalala kilala ko sa UP na si Lingo at Chuacuco?!cute sila malaro,sana kasali pa sila sa Sat!!heheheh

nope. hindi sila. older players pa. i have to confirm it, pero sa tingin ko sila hubalde (outside hitter), martinez (libero) at ‘yung isa pang outside hitter nila na “mataray.” ‘yung setter nila na si gianan, malamang kamag-anak niya ‘yung current setter ng UP na gianan din ang apelyido.
