The Far Eastern University Tamaraws defeated the Adamson University Soaring Falcons, 67-60, in their Friday meeting at the FilOil Flying V Pre-season Cup at the San Juan Arena.

RR Garcia and Anthony Hargrove led FEU with 12 points each as the Tamaraws improved to 2-1 in Group B. The Falcons, led by Eric Camson's 13 points and 11 rebounds, evened their slate at 1-1.

The Tamaraws, early in the match, took advantage of the Falcons' porous defense by aggressively attacking the basket. Their efforts translated into an early 8-2 lead with all their points coming off drives or inside the shaded lane.

The Falcons did themselves no favors, allowing big man Rodney Brondial to pick up two personal fouls with barely three minutes in the game.

Surprisingly, Adamson's smaller lineup allowed them to defend better, forcing FEU to a spate of turnovers. With more chances to score, the Falcons countered with a 10-2 run, with swingman Roider Cabrera and rookie Ar-Raouf Julkipli draining a pair of three-pointers to grab the lead.

But the Falcons had trouble keeping the lead as the Tamaraws bullied their way to the line to even the score at 15-all after the first 10 minutes.

A Garcia triple opened up FEU's 7-0 scoring in the second period as the Tams continued to take advantage of an inexperienced Adamson squad.

A Camson basket ended the Falcons' scoring drought midway in the game. Adamson's defense responded and held FEU scoreless until the last minute, where Garcia, off a screen, escaped Alex Nuyles' defense and hit a three-pointer from the top of the key.

Arvie Bringas was fouled with three seconds left in the first half. He missed both free throws, but scored again as time expired to put the Tamaraws ahead at the turn, 33-30.

Camson and Nuyles, the main holdovers from last season's roster, combined to score 12 of the Falcons' 15 points in the quarter.

The Tamaraws were relentless in the third, matching every Falcons comeback attempt. Brondial checked back in the game as he muscled his way inside with a pair of baskets and offensive rebounds for his team. But his brief run was answered by Roger Pogoy's four quick points.

Camson scored on a step back jumper in the paint to draw them within two. Chris Tolomia responded with three points, including a scooping reverse layup to give FEU a 46-41 edge. Nuyles made a late push with five points off a set three-pointer and a long two in transition. Russel Escoto answered for the Tamaraws, hitting a long jumper with 15 seconds left in the third to put his team ahead, 48-46.

FEU guard Gyrann Mendoza hit a pair of inside shots to extend the Tams' lead, 54-50 midway in the fourth. Adamson forced the Tamaraws into penalty but could not hit anything from the line, making only 5-of-14 from the stripe in the last quarter.

The Falcons made one last attempt to save the game. Swingman Jericho Cruz hit a three-pointer and a Lloyd Abrigo putback highlighted an 8-2 surge that moved them within two for the last time. But Tolomia hit a three-pointer with 34.7 seconds to go. The Falcons failed to respond as Nuyles missed a jumper from the left wing in their next possession.

The Falcons then stole the ball but immediately turned it over, and were forced to foul Pogoy with 1.6 seconds remaining. He hit the ensuing free throws to seal the win for the Morayta-based squad. — JVP, GMA News

News Update:Korean Christians aim to stop Lady Gaga's "pornographic" show

SEOUL (Reuters) - Christian groups in South Korea called on Friday for pop icon Lady Gaga to cancel her concert here saying it was "pornographic" and promoted homosexuality.

South Korea's government has already bowed to public pressure and banned under-18s from attending the 26-year old's concert, but protesters gathered outside the venue said that was not enough.
"Some people can accept this as another culture but its impact is huge beyond art and debases religions. Even adults can't see her performance which is too homosexual and pornographic," said Yoon Jung-hoon, a reverend who organized the "Civilians Network against the Lady Gaga Concert".
The singer's hit song "Born This Way" celebrates the empowerment of gay men and women, something that many in South Korea, which is the second most Christian country in Asia after the Philippines, say is an immoral lifestyle.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, has been in Seoul for close on a week as she kicks off her Asian "Born this Way" tour.
"Nervous for tonight. Hope I make little monsters happy and proud," she Tweeted a few hours before the concert kicked off.
Yoon's group claims to have collected 5,000 supporters on Facebook against the concert and some have also called for a boycott of the sponsor Hyundai Card. The protesters have also threatened a boycott of its parent company, Hyundai Motor Co, South Korea's largest car-maker.
"The Christian Council of Korea with 12 million Christians and 55,000 churches will take all kinds of measures such as boycotting Hyundai Card to root out this kind of obscene culture," the council said in a statement.
Yoon said he would attend the concert to "monitor" the performance for homosexual content that could corrupt young people.

My Diary: Card Game

                               

I’m just living my life the way I perceive it to be. The only rule I abide with is “follow what God tells you and fear the Lord your God”. I don’t expect people to like or adore me for how I live my life. Honestly, I don’t want people to compare me with other people. I don’t want them to always look at me as a strong individual but I can’t control their mind. I don’t want people to perceive me for who I am not.

I once heard a mother of my friend telling her why she can’t be like me, intelligent and compose can be trusted with anything. I was shocked and devastated. The truth is, I don’t like to be compared with my friends. I feel like I am forced to be a person for whom I am being standardized I feel like I need to be always watchful with everything I do so that no one would give negative opinions about me. I feel like I’m living with their expectations. I know it is good to be a model as what my mother says. She always tells me that it feels so good hearing her friends give complement on how she brings me up. But I am not persuaded. The load to live it up is very heavy. I am not what they wanted me to become. I have my water loo, negative sides and most of all my downfalls.

I am not that type who shows to the world my emotions. I don’t want people to see me cry and felt devastated. I maybe broken inside but my façade will always be intact, that’s why they always look at me as a strong individual. They always see me calm and ready. They always tell me I am not easily shaken. But they are wrong. I also have my breakdown. I also cry hard and maybe sob in times of trials and testing. I also get nervous and paranoid of how my life is going on when I feel like I can’t fix everything. But what makes me handle it all knows that, I am a Christian and I have Jesus in my life. Honestly, in the secret, in the quiet place, he is the only one who sees and knows the real Claire- a typical girl who has pain, shame all at once.

 My life is a card game, I can’t handle everything that is being thrown by my opponent but it is only God who allows those opponents to make me stronger in the next round. People may tell me that I’m good in playing my cards but they don’t know the secret of playing, trusting to the one who knows best-God.
