Yes they're here! The Green Archers are here in Naga City. Let us watch the much awaited game of David - UNC Greyhounds and Goliath - DLSU Green Archers. Other participating schools are Don Bosco and St. Francis of Assisi.

It's really an honor for the Greyhounds to play with the Green Archers. The percentage of Greyhounds of winning against the Green Archers is very small. It does matter if the Greyhounds win, who knows? Miracle? Why not! hehe.. If they lose? It doesn't matter that much, what is important - they will be able to face them on the court. A rare opportunity indeed. (Photos courtesy of oragon.com of ssc)

See you there!!!!!

Go Bicol! Go Greyhounds!

We've been hearing lately about new infrastructures here in Naga as well as from our neighboring towns and cities here in the Bicol Region. Just like in Nabua of their recently opened LCC Mall which was somehow rumored to be a strategy for their "loss" in LCC Naga. It might be a rumor but it's still a good strategy and it will be good for the people. In Nabua they also have this Macagang Business Center Hotel and Resort which is also one of the newest attractions in town. I mentioned these two recently opened establishments because I visited Legazpi last October 28 and 29 via FilCab Express. For some reasons (which is --saving up for something) I didn't drive Citie for my two day trip to Legazpi. But at the back of my mind, if I will be riding on a public transportation, chances are, I will be lucky enough to see the new terminal in Legazpi. (and yes I did) But then there were drawbacks, I wasn't able to take a snap of LCC Nabua and Macagang's interior or kahit exterior man lng because obviously there are no "stop overs". I was also hoping of visiting Embarcadero de Legazpi but again sad to say time didn't allow me. It was the moment when I said: "sana palan nagdara ako auto para naka duman ako sa embarcadero". Even though the place is not yet complete, I always want to see upcoming establishments before the grand opening.

In God's will, I only accomplished one task for my blog... which is to share my photo of LKY Metro Transport and Lifestyle Hub. Probably a lot of you have also seen it, but for my visitors here in NCD who haven't seen it yet, then here it is. The place is still under construction, but by merely looking at it, it's orderly and clean. Congratulations Legazpi for a job well done!

**Naga City Deck does not only cater updates about Naga City itself. While its main focus is in Naga, there will be chances when the people of Naga City Deck visits other towns and places in the region. While it is our pleasure to give you updates, we are also for the progress of the whole Bicol Region and we would like to be the eyes of those who are far away from home.

Are Bicolanos specifically Nagueños near to hugging the highly urbanized means of transportation? From the trial run of the few taxi units in Naga during the last week of May, we can rarely see units occupied with passengers. You'll have to wait for around 30 minutes or even an hour to see a taxi on the road considering that you are in the downtown area of Naga. Just right after the Peñafrancia Festival, the number of taxis in Naga has dramatically increased in number. Before, we have observed that there's only one operator (HRMM) with the yellow plate but for the past few weeks there were additional lines already. A lot of those additional taxi units doesn't have plates yet which means that they are new investments. Yes this is a good news, but this can also mean demand for increasing "willing taxi passengers" aka those who can afford and this can also mean challenge for those who are of the old scheme of transportation. Enjoy your taxi ride!



In every school these days students would often ask for their parents specifically their moms to prepare them a costume. No matter how costly it would take them, a lot of parents are supportive with this kind of extra curricular activity in schools. October, we celebrate the United Nations Day in order to remind ourselves that we are not alone in this planet. From the background of UN which says "Simply put, it is the birthday of the United Nations. On 24 October 1945, the United Nations was formally established after a majority of its founding members ratified a treaty setting up the world body. In 1971, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution recommending that the day be observed as a public holiday by Member States. Traditionally, it has been marked throughout the world by meetings, discussions and exhibits on the goals and achievements of the Organization." (http://www.un.org/) the spirit of voluntarism and genuine concern for those who are in need is very visible. Let us all be reminded of the true essence of altruism for a more unified nation.





















UNC High School students take pride as they parade around the campus grounds last October 27, 2009 in their various costumes representing different nationalities.

"Kaipuhan ko na mag harvest today! Baka malapa si crops ko! Pwedeng i-harvest mo man si crops ko? Can you tend and look after my farm?"

These are just few of the common statements you will hear nowadays. Suddenly everybody has a farm that they have to build, plant, and tend to almost everyday or even twice a day or worse they have to stay for hours.

Harvest, harvest, harvest. The unending influence of the online social network’s application is scarily occupying or is now incorporated in our daily activities. I say “our” because I was guilty of it, I say “was” because my addiction to those applications ended already and I’m glad I did. Been there done that, even before Facebook applications rampantly conquered the online world, I was addicted to online games way back my late high school, college years, and a little after I graduated. To mention a few of my sort of “I-got-addicted” games they are: Audition, O2Jam, Gunbound, NFS, a little of CS and sad to say I really didn’t actually get to understand DOTA until I was only clicking and clicking and attacking the enemies because I barely knew the abilities of each hero and the usage of every item that you have to purchase. So here comes Facebook, to mention some, I also played Pet Society, Mafia Wars, Street Racing, Farm Town, and Typing Maniac. I didn’t bother trying Friends-For-Sale, Restaurant City and the latest addiction of everyone… Farmville. I’m sure there are new ones, who cares, I always click the Ignore button whenever there are invitations. My apologies for that my friends. I guess my interest had a shift of gear and now even going back to the neutral gear.

I miss playing my old games, I tried to play o2jam once again, I thought I lost my touch but still there it is.

Here’s my observation to our addiction on these applications. First, it brings out the child in us. Sometimes, there are games that will choose no age aka they are for everyone. No doubt that even professors for that matter are playing Mafia Wars and Farmville. Second, you see your friends playing those games and you can’t relate whenever they are talking about it, you become curious and you end up playing with them and you become “in”. Third, after playing, you become a frequent player of the game even though not leading to addiction but during those moments you play, you attain a certain feeling of fulfillment and superiority when you see your level higher than anyone else. Admit it or not you feel good when you see your rank higher. Fourth, as a person, especially a typical Filipino, we would always try what is new, then after a few months, the addiction dies off and you will seek another one that is “new” again brought about by our neighbors from the western hemisphere of this planet. There it goes, it’s always cyclical.

FACT: People have the tendency to crave for what is More, Huge, Larger, and Higher. More points, bigger storage devices, higher rank, more games and the like. This is can be as we all know as the survival of the fittest. It’s the online world what does survival of the fittest got to do with it? Look deeper and it is there. If you have the power, you have the rank, you have the larger amount of points etc etc, everybody looks up to you, everybody becomes close to you and eventually making you even more powerful than others because you are remembered. If you are on the low rank you are the unnoticed. This is no other than reality.

If online games / applications make you feel good then so be it, but let us make sure that what is more important than those games are the ones that you have to harvest more rather than harvesting the virtual crops. We are making the publishers of those games richer than we have ever imagined.

Yes we can still function as normal people doing our daily activities while playing with those games, but we become less of a person if we forget our responsibilities and obligations to ourselves and most importantly to our significant others and survival tools such as the studies of students and jobs for us employees. There are games which improves our analysis, strategies as well as hand and eye coordination. If you were improved by it then somehow it’s enough, wouldn't it be better to use it in the real world? These applications were made for us to explore and widen our imaginations and abilities but not to occupy our whole being. Let us enjoy them but let us not make them the only source of fun.

Congratulations if you are able to maintain the harmony between leisure and studies/work. But if you’re not one of them, it’s never too late. Do not let our “ids” (wants, likes, cravings, addiction) control us. Farm on how to survive the real game and harvest the real crops for survival on how to maintain your life. You’re lucky if you we’re born rich, but if you’re not? Better move your asses to the right direction rather than sitting in front of your virtual world. Good luck to us all!

P.S. We are happy at home na nakapag harvest kami nag tatlong bulig ng banana, 18 na sapad lahat. Yung mga saging na un ang nag remind saakin na mag post ng entry tungkol sa games at online applications. We are proud of our harvest! haha It's the real thing.
