The Spirit

I've been browsing the net for karatedo pictures of the Philippine team when I saw familiar faces of Joy Ruiz and Alma Cabasal.  I even saw in one of the captions that Alma is the next Gretchen Malalad…

I've been so proud of these people who I have known because of Gretchen in her PBB Celebrity stint.. most of them became my co-forumers and eventually have exchanged texts as well.

Renee Granadino is among the sidekicks and karatekas who join in several karate tournaments. 

I've always love watching karatedo… taekwando… and any forms of martial arts… and it relaxes me though to see just how a kick was thrown to the opponent…

That's when I started to look after the Filipino karateka… that's where I saw Gege… fighting so hard.. victory didn't came as easy as it used to be but I saw in Gege… a winner!  The fist… the fighting spirit… the stand of a Karateka that will fight hard and take whatever it is to win…  

Thanks to Andrew Villasis for this photo.  I just loved this…  This was taken after Gege won the first gold in the 23rd SEA Games…

The Heart of a Champion cannot just be easily ignored… it's admired… 

I remembered some forumers who once asked me… among the many housemates in PBB whom I've actively supported, who among them is really my idol…

I told them… the level of support and admiration is different to some greater extent… and in the case of Gretchen… I'm too vocal in saying that if ever Nene, Beatriz or Gretchen were in the same season of PBB, surely my attention is after the athlete I've known prior to this reality show… someone I used to watch… 

God Bless to the next batch of great karatekas…. Alma, Joy and Renee…. Gege's Sidekicks!

Kudos to all of you!!! <Bow!>
