Slam Dunk

I came across an article in the web about one of my favorite animes, SLAM DUNK. Here's the article and it's translation. Pardon the grammar as this was translated using an online service.



Hanamichi Sakuragi was born in 1968 in a family of the common working class and current. His mother passed away when he was very small, without the love of his mother he used the violence (out-on-the-street fights) to resolve his problems. As a boy was very tall, at the age of 12 average 1.75 mts, and his body began to acquire force and a lot of resistance through its fights. Once he had a fight with the students in the sports zone of the University of Tokyo; its abilities of fight, velocity and to be able physical, they attracted al coach of the team of basketball, and itself the ingenió so that entered al smaller team.

In a party of practice, at the age of 17 of age, against the National Team of Japan, Hanamichi of 1.89 mts, was the unique one that was not frightened by the professionals and noted 33 points he only: 10 shots, 3 nailed, 1 triple, 1 shot that did not find the terminology to explain it, and 2 shots free.

Although its team lost with only 59 points (59 - 115), had been an excellent first party for Hanamichi. The basketball was in chaos, and he was named "The Hope of the Japanese Basketball". Nevertheless, its father fell sick a year later. Hanamichi went of return to Tokyo, and this road would cost him all. He descended of the bus in Tokyo and he was on the verge of crossing the street al hospital when a car that went very fast him scrimmage. Although he had "body of steel", the impact simply was too strong. It collapsed, they carried it al hospital. Unfortunately it was too late… before they sent him al operating room died for the great internal hemorrhage, only with 18 years of age.

The World of the Japanese Basketball was completely destroyed, they called this loss "Colossal". The mangaca Takehiko Inoue created its series" Slam Dunk" based on the history of this youth.

Love story telling a lie....

I found this on a blog a friend (San Mig) pointed my attention at...nawindang ako sa kababasa, paki intindi na lang ang confusing love story telling a lie (pati ako nahawa na ata) hahahahahaha...Enjoy!...


I thought Jay’s ex-girlfriend was really out of our lives. But heaven only goes that I was wrong. Kakakasal pa lang namin nun when Jay received a unanimous text. “Meet me at the clinic.” I had a stinking feeling in my butt. I told him not to go. It might in danger him. Pero sabi niya, ok lang daw because life is what we make. Tumahimik na lang ako. Sabi niya, “Penny for you talks.” But I didn’t know what to say. Beggars can’t be losers. Isa pa, worried talaga ako na baka yung girl yun. Jay said, “Can’t got your tongue?” I tried to smile at him. Kahit di ako nagsalita, actions speak louder than works, di ba? Be that as is may, umalis pa rin siya. I was out of the loophole. After a few hours, I called him on his cellphone. But my calls fell on Jeff’s ears. Lalo akong nag-worry kasi I didn’t even know Jeff. Sabi na nga ba di na dapat umalis si Jay. That’s what I’m talking about it.

So I tried calling some friends who will help me find Jay. That’s what friends are for naman di ba? But I just faced a blank mall. I had to do this alone. Nag-taxi na lang ako. Pero ang mahal na pala ng plug-down rate. When I got to the clinic, the security was really buffed up. Di basta-basta makakapasok. So I said, “I beg your cordon. I’m patient. It’s my favorite virtue nga eh.” Nagduda yata yung isang guard. Hinawakan ako sa arm. The nerd! I shouted, “Don’t touch me not!” Buti na lang the other guards were nice and said, “Come on, let’s join us.” When I went inside, parang I’ve been there, done there. Nung walang nakatingin, nag-explore ako. Nakarating ako sa top floor and I had a bird’s IQ of the clinic. I could not explain it but I was drawn to a room on the floor. Siguro Divine Intermission na yun. Parang may narinig akong umuungol. I was thorn. Di ko alam kung aalis ba ako o papasukin ko. It made me stick in the stomach to think that Jay and his ex-girlfriend were there. I tried to tell myself to slower my expectations. But to tell with it! I had to strike while the iron is not. I had to hear the truth from the corpse’s mouth. I barraged in. O my gas! Si Jay, naka-strap sa operating table, parang genie pig sa isang nakakatakot na experiment. He was on the cutting edge. He was bleeding. At ang doctor na nagpapahirap sa kanya, ang ex-girlfriend niya at ang bago nitong boyfriend, ang nurse na si Walter. Doon ko napatunayang blood is thicker than Walter. Guess watch? Di ko alam kung paano ko nagawa pero I was able to search and rescue Jay. Siguro adrenaline brush na yun. Now, he’s recovering. Nag-sorry siya na hindi siya nakinig sa akin. I know it’s a better pill to swallow your pride so it’s forgive and forget me not. All swell that end swell. I know we should kiss and put on makeup. Ang ex-girlfriend naman niya at si Walter, nakakulong na. Detention is really better than cure. So the moral of the lesson is: if symptoms persist, insult your doctor.
