Side Notes: This was the first tourney me and Snirp G entered. We don't usually join in on the tourneys because we are the moderators but since we had 14 players and to make it an even bout, we joined in and everyone has reached a good grasp with their characters. The Disqualifications (DQs) happened because when these players were called, they weren't there for their matches. Gio Migrino was replaced by IMBA || Epe because of saltiness.
One interesting event took note during the tourney was the triple Flawless Victory by younggun July Blanco against Gio.
Peace Out

On Nicknames
This is a funny thing I realized during my most recent birthday. Over the years, I've gone through some nickname changes and it's interesting to see what my nicknames where before and nicknames that only a handful of people called me.
In order to document this peculiar thought, I used my birthday as the statistic gathering method and I'd tally the people who called me by a certain nickname. I tallied this from all sorts of communication, whether it be personal, through text messaging, social networking and etc. I also only recorded those that I could remember so if you "feel" you weren't included then I apologize in advance.
This chart represents the nicknames that were used and how many people called me by this nickname:
P.S. Did not include the Dudz nickname because it's not really my own, personal,nickname.hehe
Looking at the chart, it's no surprise that the Chady is leading at the top as it is the nickname I've been using for awhile now. What's surprising though is a there is a good amount of "Chardy's" here as well. Why is this so intriguing? Well, you see, Chardy was a nickname during my high school days and I was feeling a bit nostalgic to hear (or read, mind you) this name again. Nicknames are names that could be short or long. It can be used usually familiar or humorous but sometimes pointed or cruel name given to a certain person, as a supposedly appropriate replacement for or addition to the proper name. They hold a special meaning to each and everyone of us especially for me because I had a different nickname every time I transition from certain moments in my life to another.
Every time I hear a "Chady!", "Chardy!" or a "Tmac!', it makes me remember what I've been through my life. Then of course, there are the personal nicknames that only one (or a few) people call me. This people have made a certain bond with me (Whether good, bad, good/bad, etc.) that they become hard to forget in my life. Nicknames such as "Chadoy", "Bes" and "iChad" are from people who I consider my friends for life. By the way, Friend using "Pig" Nickname, I still have a love/hate relationship with you. You know who you are.
"Tmac" was the nickname I had (and still have) when I was basketball crazy and it stuck because I had an obsession with NBA player Tracy "Tmac" Mcgrady. "Chad" became my official work name during 2010 as it was a formal version of "Chady." Then there are group assigned uniform nicknames. This nicknames are all identical because you share the same nickname with everyone. It may not be your own nickname but it means that you belong to a group of people who will consider you a friend forever.
Nicknames hold a lot of meaning and you should treasure them if you have them. By the way, Thank you for greeting me on my birthday guys! A total of 150-ish people greeted me on my bday. hehe. Thanks again!
P.S. Special mention to Person using nickname "Mychad". You know who you are and I yap you for being there for me. :)
Peace out.

The 12th Month of 2011
As we enter December 2011, it's surprisingly shocking to note that this year's xmas season is rather mundane. Not many establishments are putting up fabulous christmas decor and most people are not feeling the usual upbeat vibe that the yuletide season brings. Maybe it will catch on as we progress through the month (or maybe it's just me.)
I doubt if I'll be posting any new articles for this month...I'm off to celebrate the holidays with my family and friends. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 just came out and I'm planning to spend a whole lotta time with it. (Maining Hawkeye, by the way.) Also, my hard drive broke down so I'm busy getting back all the lost files that I had.
Overall, it was a good year. Many highlights and happenings. I'll be active again by next year (I hope) and hopefully, I'll be rushing into the tourney scene and roam around the Phil and who knows? Maybe abroad as well. So take care everyone and enjoy your holidays as well. Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year!
Peace Out!
