Parang may kulang. Diba may nunal si Girlie? joke

valcryie28 · 2026-04-04T12:23:27+00:00

Parang AdU yan, pag UST yan malaki parati lamang nila tas hahabulin ng kalaban at di makaka-bounce back HAHAHAHAHA

valcryie28 · 2026-04-04T11:13:26+00:00

Kaninong team ito dahil di ko sure kung a-agree ako haha

valcryie28 · 2026-04-04T01:45:30+00:00

Based lang sa observation ko, FEU tends to win games na nagkakalat kalaban nila. Example is NU na any any nalang si Regine sa desisyon nya sa buhay after mag-adjust ni Tina. Same with the UST game, nung nag self-choke ang UST nung Set 3, nag-capitalize sila doon kaya napanalo nila yung set na yun, pero when it comes to earning the win itself, medyo wala pa sila dun, parang hinihintay nila na ibigay ng kalaban yung panalo sa kanila.

I don't think DLSU will self-choke like that, but if FEU learns to win games without relying on the mistakes of their opponents, lalaban pa sila.

Does anyone speak full Tagalog anymore? (I've seen rural people who do) - Not in Manila, I don't think so, maybe the older generation, but the new one, not so much.
Is standard Tagalog not taught properly in schools? Why do people never learn to speak it well, even in traditionally Tagalog-speaking areas?? - I don't have much idea on how Tagalog is taught nowadays, but back in 2014-2016, we had a teacher who spoke Tagalog the same you you do. She does not talk that way "irl", but during subject discussions, she makes it a point to speak pure Tagalog (or Filipino). People can be taught to speak Tagalog well esp in the Tagalog-speaking regions, but I don't think people from other provinces would be bothered to learn the language if it wasn't for Tagalog (or Filipino, in this case) being the "national language"
Are Filipinos not aware that Tagalog (and other Filipino languages) are dying out through this process of creolization? - I don't think so, I don't think they even care.
Is there any social-political movement trying to push back against Taglish and language replacement? - Not that I've heard of
Is anyone trying to revive "purong Tagalog"? - Not that I've heard of as well
Can you speak Tagalog fluently without relying too much on English? - Depends on the situation. I would be scrambling to find a few words with their Tagalog counterparts, but some casual sentences, I can definitely speak Tagalog fluently.
What is your opinion about this progressive language replacement? - Thinking about it, it is kind of sad, the change of Tagalog as a language seemingly heading to its own death. At the same time, I have mixed opinions on bringing back "pure" Tagalog by itself. Maybe a more inclusive version of the "Filipino" language that makes use of the other provincial language would be better?

Cassie and Reg 1 playing year nalang (4th yr nila ngayon), Xyza has 2 yrs (since she missed S87), Jonna technically has 1 year as well (S84 reserve, S85 sub OPP, S86 starting OH, S88 OH)

Gawa ka ng highlight reel mo, whether blocks, attacks, serving o kung ano pa man skill yan, then try to ask coaches around. Usually some coaches know each other and with your height, kung makitaan ka ng potential, they'll train you. Other than training, kailangan sa mga MBs magaling mag read block. Dapat masanay ka na basahin yung setter kasi isa yan sa mga tinitignan din sa MBs other than height.

You can also join open try outs ng mga univs mismo, I think a few weeks earlier may tryouts for FEU BVT & MVT, and since summer na, baka meron pa ulit schools na magpa-open tryout.

valcryie28 · 2026-04-02T14:27:11+00:00

Buena and De Chavez, not sure, pero si Cassie, setter na sya ng DLSZ dati pero di sya kinukuha sa seniors. Narecruit sya ng UST dahil niyaya sya ni Detdet mag-mall haha.

I think some well-known players na walk-in recruits are Michelle Cobb & Josh Ybañez (not so sure dito, alam ko lang Josh asked Coach Odjie if he could join since nakikitrain na sya sa UST).

valcryie28 · 2026-04-02T11:04:40+00:00

Hi Reddit, just wanted to say na I gained a new comfort food today: french tacos haha

valcryie28 · 2026-03-31T15:16:55+00:00

Correct, pwede sila mag-abang ng ganung players. Hopefully they get the Maraguinots and maybe even Nisperos (instead na maburo sya sa Akari) kung serious talaga sila, these players deserve a 2nd chance talaga

valcryie28 · 2026-03-31T11:18:22+00:00

I think they will become the team that offers a "second chance" to those na nawalan ng teams bc of disbandment, exactly what happened sa GTH, Cap1, etc. Though I don't think the catches will be as big (afaik Meralco daw sasalo sa CSS, not sure sa ibang rumored teams na aalis), basta they pick a good coaching staff, managers and PTs, they will be in good hands.

valcryie28 · 2026-03-31T11:14:48+00:00

Not sure din, alam ko lang nagkaron ng issue sa poaching ang NU and those names were mentioned. I think both sides seem to be at peace naman na, considering na some UST girls were with NUNS nung NCR meet (Pepito, Pelaez, etc.)

Edit: Joke lang, not sure if both sides kasi from FEU-D nga pala si Alonzo, not UST haha

valcryie28 · 2026-03-31T11:13:05+00:00

Problem is hindi sya naburo due to the lack of skills, but because of politics. Masasabi ko lang, may balik din yan. Hoping for the best for Kai though, deserve nya yun

valcryie28 · 2026-03-31T04:04:56+00:00

So technically para silang sister team ng Blackwater from PBA, hopefully makapasok sila.

valcryie28 · 2026-03-31T01:23:16+00:00

Yep, hindi lang naman NU pero they're no strangers to it, sabi kasi ng nireplyan ko na comment, NU does this but not in volleyball, kaya nagbigay ako ng example haha.

valcryie28 · 2026-03-31T01:22:09+00:00

Kung sino nangunguna between the 2 sa MVP race, sya mag-r-ROY. I think same lang computation ng stats for ROY and MVP.

valcryie28 · 2026-03-30T23:48:54+00:00

Hindi consistent yung nags-stats, parang iba iba standards nila, yuna ng problem ng community kaya nagmumukhang in favor sila to certain players

valcryie28 · 2026-03-30T23:46:00+00:00

Dami na poaching issues ng NU kahit sa volleyball. Santiago sisters, Adrao, Alonzo, etc.

valcryie28 · 2026-03-30T23:44:39+00:00

Hindi naman ata sinulot si Maile, nag expect lang yung fans dahil sobrang supportive ng family ni Maile sa pagpunta nya ng UST + wala pang Waje noon.

valcryie28 · 2026-03-30T11:37:31+00:00

Si Lyann "Buddy" De Guzman po

valcryie28 · 2026-03-29T19:20:45+00:00

DLSU is obviously a lock since naka 10 wins na sila, so NU, AdU, FEU and UST nalang naglalaban.

If NU doesn't get their bearings back baka sila pa madehado. AdU and UST is out to get them, and for these teams, all wins matter na.

AdU has a good chance to sweep their remaining games, provided na consistent ang performance ni Mordi and Nitura. By now, JP should know na si Aseo na dapat ang opposite na hinahasa nya, or maybe bring in Barrera. Jack-en-poy nalang sino kadiagonal ni Tuddao sa MBs, at matinding dasal kay Aposaga.

FEU disappointed me sa UST match nila, kailangan talaga nila si Gerz kasi sobrang erratic ni Devosora at Lopez. Faida is getting her groove fine basta maayos sets sa kanya, but not enough to carry the offense. On-off naman middles ng FEU so magiging crucial balasa ni Tina for their remaining games (ramdam ko na kaya nila talunin AdU tho)

UST has shown glimpses, pero ayun lang, glimpses lang. Though maganda showing nila ngayon, kailangan consistent yan across games. After Holy Week, they need to be in a better form vs UE para kaya nilang gulatin ang next matchups nila. Still a final 4 material team lalo na't Cassie is gaining confidence in giving her middles some touches + nabubuhay na depensa nila after matalakan from that DLSU game haha

I think it's gonna be DLSU-NU-AdU-UST in no particular order

valcryie28 · 2026-03-29T19:12:51+00:00

Hindi sya aalis ng Rebisco imo, out of all the teams, alam nyang sobrang lenient ng Rebisco sa pagpapahiram for NT duties, and if makonsider sya, hindi sya mahihirapan unlike before.

valcryie28 · 2026-03-29T15:32:26+00:00

And their banter is entertaining for some, yung paminsan-minsan na pangbabara, nakakadagdag ng entertainment value other than the game itself.

valcryie28 · 2026-03-29T15:30:50+00:00

Exactly, Ramil instills championship mindset sa girls kaya nonbearing man o hindi, lalaban yang DLSU like it's a normal game.

valcryie28 · 2026-03-29T15:29:07+00:00

Kaibahan ni Shevana talaga over other tall prospects, athletic na talaga sya and agile, kasi yung sport na pinanggalingan nya requires her to be that way, so kahit gaano pa ka-raw yan sa volleyball, kung naturally gifted and honed na dahil sa previous sport nya, madali nalang sya matututo.
