More information than you need, Day 4
Photo: Wolfie, Japanese player, Patrice attempting gangsta, and Ned, at 18 the youngest guy on the team.
Wolfie has been holding that beer mug since the tournament closing dinner. “I love this glass!” Everyone changed into regular clothes and met up at the elevator, where we saw this badass player from the Japan team.
“How’re you doing?” they said.
“Shit balls fuck you!” the Japanese player yelled happily.
“We’re going out, wanna join us?”
“Crap motherfucker shit!” We love him.
Hong Kong is the champion of the Borneo 7s, beating Japan in the final. Hong Kong’s tiny killer scrum half: Keith Robertson, half-Filipino. More Keith later.

Ang kulit nung Japanese player! Ganoon lang kakonti ang English vocabulary niya hahaha!!! Saya!
About Keith Robertson, can’t wait to hear more about him. O baka may objections naman from the people of HK na he’s not too Chinese to play for them ha >_>

Nakakatuwa naman. Patrice is cute, and that Ned guy too. Can’t wait to hear more about Keith Robertson. Bakit hindi i-hire si Keith na maglaro sa Philippine Volcanoes?

oneday at 9:49 pm: Biracial players may choose between the national teams of their parent’s homelands. Rod Davies of the Wallabies, the Australian national rugby team, could’ve played for the Volcanoes too.
You don’t get hired for the Volcanoes. Not only do you not get paid, but you pay your own way (airfares etc).

Kagwapo naman ni Patrice. My superlatives are getting redundant.
Lumi-Linda Blair na ako (Patrice obsession-possession).
Where’s Momelia? I miss her

polaris at 10:40 pm: Hindi ka nagkakamali. Patrice must be getting annoyed with me because my response to everything he says or does is “That’s adorable! Eeeeek!” I have been treating him like one of my cats.
Gusto mo ng makabagbag-damdaming kuwento? Patrice was born in the Philippines, and he lived here until he was eight years old. That year his mother died. Patrice is in Manila for a few days, and he plans to visit his mother’s grave.
Ha-Momelia! Ha-san ka? Ha-mi-miss ka hamin.

Oo nga asan na si Momelia?

Secretly stalking the team from behind some conspicuously placed bushes?
November 3rd, 2010 at 02:31
That’s a really touching story, makes me want to hug him…btw how do you bear hug a 6’4 boy?

hay patrice is way too adorable. and he seems like such a polite young man. my brain rebels against impure thoughts about him tuloy.

samantha at 9:59 am: You may not have impure thoughts about Patrice. I have appointed myself his guardian and now I am in your mind watching.

@#13jessicazafra – oh don’t worry ms. j. my brain runs out of the room screaming like a crazed woman on fire every time i think even slightly improper thoughts about patrice. especially after you mentioned that he likes milo mcflurry. so bloody adorable hay.

@#13 Jessica you don’t want to be inside my mind right now. You’d be spending time there with a certain Marquis (giggles, evil giggles).

polaris at 4:51 pm: Fine, then you must be informed of the trade-off. For every thought, a vital piece of your memory will be erased. Your mother’s maiden name. The license plates of your car. Your ATM PIN. It goes on until tabula rasa.

Kever.
I choose this blissful fugue.
