Chris Pacana

Event: TechKNOWlogy Launch

I had confirmed from Chris Pacana's Facebook Fanpage that he'll be joining the event. So, I'll see you guys there?


P.S.

I'm sorry for failing to update this blog for quite sometime now. I've been busy but I'll promise to catch up once I've settled some personal matters. Meanwhile, let me share a picture of him in his debut game against Alaska Aces.

A one-point lead, 13-12, by Meralco Bolts against Alaska Aces, in a low-scoring first quarter threatened to disappoint the Negrense crowd that trooped to Victorias City Sports and Amusement Center, Saturday for another out-of-town PBA game.

But coach Ryan Gregorio and the Bolts electrified the crowd and stunned the Aces middle of third quarter to get away with a come-from-behind 83-71 win that made the game one of the classic actions in PBA’s Philippine Cup.

“It’s a monster victory for us. We fought hard, did not give up and were rewarded with our effort,” Gregorio said in the PBA website as he lauded his wards for a good job.

“We dug deep into our hearts and made the impossible possible. Defense was the key and we scored enough to win,” Gregorio said.

Chris Ross provided the spark late in the third quarter as rookie Hans Thiele and Chris Pacana combined forces to erase a 14-point Aces lead in the early quarters.

With Macmac Cardona still nursing an injury, the Bolts kept their focus to deal the Aces their fourth straight victory in the tournament.

Guangzhou Asiad-boudn Asi Taulava provided the bulk for the Bolts, while Beau Belga engaged Aces big men at low post as the Bolts pulled away in the final quarter for their third win in eight games.

Five Meralco players scored in double figure -- Ross 16, Gab Espinas 14, Taulava 12, Thiele 11, Belga 10 -- as the squad displayed an outstanding performance that earned the respect of the basketball-loving Negrenses.

Alaska was led by Joe Devance with 21 points while Sonny Thoss contributed 12 markers. Cyrus Baguio chipped in 10 points for the Aces losing quest as LA Tenorio ended the game with seven points.*NAB

I dreamed of Chris Pacana last Tuesday. And it felt great that I've sen him playing in the hard court (at least in my dream).

I don't know, maybe this dream is brought about by the recent happenings in PBA.

• Sta. Lucia Realtors will now become Meralco
  
• Coach Ryan Gregorio will be the coach of Meralco
• Purefoods is acquired by UNILAB and URC
• BMEG will now become Petron
  

No matter what, I hope these changes will all be for the better. While the PBA Fiesta Cup Conference is not yet finished, I am already bidding good lucks and God bless to PBA. Hope the next season will become a better one.

And by the way, I hope Alaska Aces wins the Fiesta Cup crown this time.

Let me leave you with my favorite picture of Chris, a game where he had 8 points and 10 rebounds with just 11 minutes of playing time.

For those who really love basketball, I'd bet you were all eyes on the current NBA Finals 2010 between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers. You had your own player and team being cheered. How about Chris Pacana? Here is his response to Ms. Patricia Bermudez-Hizon's question on "Who do you think will be the 2010 champions and why they have the edge?" in her Fit to Post at Yahoo! Philippines entitled NBA Finals fearless forecast.

Chris Pacana, Sta. Lucia Realtors: Lakers. Black Mamba is the edge. Michael Jordan is 6 for 6 in the finals. Kobe is mad he let one slip away. Not to mention the added length that Bynum provides along with Artest’s defensive presence. Defense will win it.

Hmmm... I'm sorry Chris, but I am rooting for the Boston Celtics. Aside from Ray Allen, I love this man:

I had stumbled on someone's Multiply account and read that Chris Pacana's look-a-like is Deron Williams. Hmmmm... I don't know that man; so, I Googled for William's pictures and it somewhat satisfies my eyes.




What can you say?

Hi guys, I just want you to know that despite the sad reality that our Chris Pacana had been put in the reserve list, I am Still Updating this blog. To know what had been added recently, just check on the What's New? section of the side bar.

I have seen several photos of him, but I decided not to share most of them for they were personal photos, and I respect Chris' private life.

If you had something to share (pictures, videos, or articles), just email me; and I'll gladly post it here.

Thanks! Keep on praying!

Last week, while checking on PBA Online, I noticed that Chris Pacana's name is not listed under Sta. Lucia Realtors roster. I checked his name immediately at the players list; but his name is nowhere to be found. I immediately message Sir RV, the site's administrator and owner, and asked why Chris' name is not in his list. It could be an honest mistake of removing/deleting his name from the list. But later I realized that it was something really disappointing.

My fairy told me last Saturday (and I believe you Chris Pacana fans have the right to know as well) about a very bad news - that Chris had been put in the reserve list. That was something that paints a frown on my face, and made me think, "That verdict is something that he does not deserve." However, there's nothing we can do about it. That's fate. Probably it is a way of rewriting his destiny and putting him into a much better team who could give him the "break" that he needed (I firmly hope so). Let us all just pray and hope the best for our Chris Pacana. May God bless his PBA career.

Let me leave you with my favorite picture of Chris. He did great here (10pts and 11rebounds if I remember it right). That was the sweetest smile of Chris (at least for me).



Chris, I'll still be seeing you at the hard court SOON!
