Errata: In yesterdays’ issue August 24, 2011 the news article “Nexus knots ring net for Bullshark” is a Volleyball Men game not Basketball.

The news article “Nexus bags awards in Vocal Duet and Song Writing” is a Cultural Competition and not Academic Competition, Mr. Manoos and Ms. Sager in the vocal duet category got the 1st place and not 1st runner up.

In SAS we stand to be corrected !...

IN MY POINT OF VIEW

―The MSC Olympics 2011‖ by: Nieva and Agapay ―It‘s not about winning or losing the game, it is how you play it, without giving them a pain…‖

The whole MSC has been excited as the 2011 MSC Olympics opened. Students, faculty and even the outsiders have their best team to support. Audience shouts, annoys the team they don‘t like and cheers for their favorite, TAEKWONDO. We all know that TAEKWONDO is quite serious and dangerous game, one who plays this has to control his anger and learn to be patient. In this game, the player might be physically injured seriously.

I salute to those ladies who love this game. They are so strong and they have all the guts joining this kind of game. They are really an ―idol‖. Most men say they won‘t choose a girl who knows taekwondo because they are afraid to be kicked and hit by them once they get mad. We all know that most of the girls are temperamental, they can‘t control their anger, and so boys are afraid of them.

Yeah; it‘s really true. It is really horrifying, but then, shouldn‘t these ladies idolized and admired

by every woman? We should be proud of them. They are not afraid to fight even with boys although they know that they might be hurt seriously.

Many want to learn this game to protect themselves, but others would remark why would they want to learn this game if they know that they would be hurt. But my father said that why do I need to work hard and give much effort if there would be boys who could protect me in times needed. Well, that‘s his opinion, but for me, why should I depend to others if I know I can do it.

Besides, we are all equal in God‘s eyes, if the boys could do it, we, the girls can also do it. Let‗s make those female taekwondo players as our inspiration. We all know Gretchen Malalad right? She‘s one of the most successful and idolized female taekwondo champions in the country.

She got the Gold Medal, and we too can do it also. Well, if we know how to accept our mistakes and follow the rules of the game, we‘ll succeed.

Being a part of MARINDUQUE STATE COLLEGE OLYMPICS 2011- 2012 is like getting back in the time that we‘re in high school life, even though we are in college now. MSC Olympics is not only about competition but friends and classmates are considered the best part of the event. It‘s like, giving students a chance to take a rest and to have a break from serious and hard study.

The event was about to end and most students would surely remember the precious memories they‘ve spent. Athletes of different units gave their best to win as well as the Nexus athletes competed hard to grab gold.

Students also showed their support to their respective units.

Many viewed the MSC OLYMPICS 2011- 2012, a true success, a tired but a happy one.

Sport s m ans hip and self- confidence are the character traits that a true athlete should possess.

Artisan Tinambakan, Nexus Tagumpay!

Panibagong rekord na naman ang naitala ng koponan ng Nexus’ Volleyball Women matapos tambakan ang Team Artisan sa iskor na 25-5.

Sa unang salang pa lang ay nagpakita na ng gilas ang Team Nexus. Matapos matalo ang kalaban sa 1st at 2nd set. Medyo uminit ang labanan makaraang ibato ng Team Artisan ang bola na naging dahilan upang magabot ng iskor ang dalawang koponan.

Samantala, hindi naman umubra ang depensa ng kalaban sa team Nexus.

Bagaman malayo na ang agwat ng puntos, pinilit pa rin ng kalaban na makahabol, ngunit sa huli, team Nexus pa rin ang nagtagumpay.

“Teamwork really works,” ang sabi ng coach ng koponan na si Mr. Nolito Ruiz- “It is the only thing we need when it comes to games.”
